WebApi - Bind from both Uri and Body

Question

Is it possible to bind a model from both the Uri and Body?

For instance, given the following:

routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: \"API Default\",
    rou         


        

Answer 1

If I understood you, this should work out of the box, e.g. this works for me:

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Test(TempModel model)
    {
        ViewBag.Message = "Test: " + model.Id +", " + model.Name;

        return View("About");
    }

public class TempModel
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );

and on the request: localhost:56329/Home/Test/22 with body:{"Name":"tool"}

I have my model's properties set accordingly to 22 and "tool".
