I have the following Web API (GET):

public class UsersController : ApiController { public IEnumerable<Users> Get(string firstName, string LastName, DateTime birthDate) { // Code } }

It's a GET, so I can call it like this:

http://localhost/api/users?firstName=john&LastName=smith&birthDate=1979/01/01

and receive an xml result of user(s).

Is it possible to encapsulate parameters to one class like this:

public class MyApiParameters { public string FirstName {get; set;} public string LastName {get; set;} public string DateTime BirthDate {get; set;} }

And then have:

 public IEnumerable<Users> Get(MyApiParameters parameters)

I've tried it and anytime I try to get result from http://localhost/api/users?firstName=john&LastName=smith&birthDate=1979/01/01, the parameter is null.
