How to properly retrieve post body .net C#

Question

I am trying to retrieve post body with ASP.NET server but it is not receiving the body.

This is my controller

[HttpPost] public Boolean ReleaseProtection([FromBody]string value) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("returning value"); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(value); return true; }

This is my client c# script

var credentials = new Dictionary<string, string>() { {"token", Token.Value}, {"repoId", repoId} }; var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(credentials); var response = await client.PostAsync(Ribbon1.DOTNETHOSTURL + "api/excel/ReleaseProtection", content); var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

If I use the same method to post to nodeJS server, it receives message fine but [FormBody] string value returns empty string. Why is this?

Here's a pretty in depth answer about how to use [FromBody] with a POST: Sending HTML Form Data

The short version is that you don't want to have a raw string value.

You should create a simple class like

public class MyCredentials { public string Token { get; set; } public string RepoId { get; set; } }

And then you can read it like this

[HttpPost] public Boolean ReleaseProtection([FromBody]MyCredentials creds) { // Do stuff... }
