web-api POST body object always null

Question

I\'m still learning web API, so pardon me if my question sounds stupid.

I have this in my StudentController:

public HttpResponseMessage          


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem.

In my case, the problem was in public int? CreditLimitBasedOn { get; set; } property I had.

my JSON had the value "CreditLimitBasedOn":true when It should contain an integer. This property prevented the whole object being deserialized on my api method.
