How to post an object to WebAPI

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to post an object from my form to a web api service. Within my controller I defined a model that I wanted to add input values to.

Answer 1

It seems like you may be doing an extra step. You don't need to encode in json then pass in in json

return $http.post('reportLibrary/createlabel/', { LabelId: 101, LabelName: 'myname' }, {

then

 public DTOs.ReportLabel CreateLabel([FromBody]ReportLabel reportLabel)

Take a look at the network values going by and you should see in debug tools or fiddler the actual posted values (form values).
