WebAPI Multiple Put/Post parameters

I am trying to post multiple parameters on a WebAPI controller. One param is from the URL, and the other from the body. Here is the url: /offers/40D5E19D-0CD5-4FBD-92F8-43FDBB475333/prices/

Here is my controller code:

public HttpResponseMessage Put(Guid offerId, OfferPriceParameters offerPriceParameters)
{
    //What!?
    var ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(OfferPriceParameters));
    HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream.Position = 0;
    var what = ser.ReadObject(HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream);

    return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Created);
}

The content of the body is in JSON:

{
    "Associations":
    {
        "list": [
        {
            "FromEntityId":"276774bb-9bd9-4bbd-a7e7-6ed3d69f196f",
            "ToEntityId":"ed0d2616-f707-446b-9e40-b77b94fb7d2b",
            "Types":
            {
                "list":[
                {
                    "BillingCommitment":5,
                    "BillingCycle":5,
                    "Prices":
                    {
                        "list":[
                        {
                            "CurrencyId":"274d24c9-7d0b-40ea-a936-e800d74ead53",
                            "RecurringFee":4,
                            "SetupFee":5
                        }]
                    }
                }]
            }
        }]
    }
}

Any idea why the default binding is not able to bind to the offerPriceParameters argument of my controller? It is always set to null. But I am able to recover the data from the body using the DataContractJsonSerializer.

I also try to use the FromBody attribute of the argument but it does not work either.

[HttpPost]
public string MyMethod([FromBody]JObject data)
{
    Customer customer = data["customerData"].ToObject<Customer>();
    Product product = data["productData"].ToObject<Product>();
    Employee employee = data["employeeData"].ToObject<Employee>();
    //... other class....
}

using referance

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

Use Request for JQuery Ajax

var customer = {
    "Name": "jhon",
    "Id": 1,
};
var product = {
    "Name": "table",
    "CategoryId": 5,
    "Count": 100
};
var employee = {
    "Name": "Fatih",
    "Id": 4,
};

var myData = {};
myData.customerData = customer;
myData.productData = product;
myData.employeeData = employee;

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    async: true,
    dataType: "json",
    url: "Your Url",
    data: myData,
    success: function (data) {
        console.log("Response Data ↓");
        console.log(data);
    },
    error: function (err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
});

Natively WebAPI doesn't support binding of multiple POST parameters. As Colin points out there are a number of limitations that are outlined in my blog post he references.

There's a workaround by creating a custom parameter binder. The code to do this is ugly and convoluted, but I've posted code along with a detailed explanation on my blog, ready to be plugged into a project here:

Passing multiple simple POST Values to ASP.NET Web API

If attribute routing is being used, you can use the [FromUri] and [FromBody] attributes.

Example:

[HttpPost()]
[Route("api/products/{id:int}")]
public HttpResponseMessage AddProduct([FromUri()] int id,  [FromBody()] Product product)
{
  // Add product
}

We passed Json object by HttpPost method, and parse it in dynamic object. it works fine. this is sample code:

webapi:

[HttpPost]
public string DoJson2(dynamic data)
{
   //whole:
   var c = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<YourObjectTypeHere>(data.ToString()); 

   //or 
   var c1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject< ComplexObject1 >(data.c1.ToString());

   var c2 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject< ComplexObject2 >(data.c2.ToString());

   string appName = data.AppName;
   int appInstanceID = data.AppInstanceID;
   string processGUID = data.ProcessGUID;
   int userID = data.UserID;
   string userName = data.UserName;
   var performer = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject< NextActivityPerformers >(data.NextActivityPerformers.ToString());

   ...
}

The complex object type could be object, array and dictionary.

ajaxPost:
...
Content-Type: application/json,
data: {"AppName":"SamplePrice",
       "AppInstanceID":"100",
       "ProcessGUID":"072af8c3-482a-4b1c‌​-890b-685ce2fcc75d",
       "UserID":"20",
       "UserName":"Jack",
       "NextActivityPerformers":{
           "39‌​c71004-d822-4c15-9ff2-94ca1068d745":[{
                 "UserID":10,
                 "UserName":"Smith"
           }]
       }}
...

A simple parameter class can be used to pass multiple parameters in a post:

public class AddCustomerArgs
{
    public string First { get; set; }
    public string Last { get; set; }
}

[HttpPost]
public IHttpActionResult AddCustomer(AddCustomerArgs args)
{
    //use args...
    return Ok();
}
