How to setup WCF Rest GET?

Question

I am using the WCF REST Template to test out REST Development. I am trying to test a POST Method defined like this:

 [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "", Method = "POST")] public SampleItem Create(SampleItem instance) { // TODO: Add the new instance of SampleItem to the collection return new SampleItem() { Id = 1, StringValue = "Hello Post" }; }

However I cant figure out how to get it to accept my SampleItem Parameter. I am using fiddler to submit a POST Request to http://ipv4.fiddler:54916/service1 with the following Header:

User-Agent: Fiddler Host: ipv4.fiddler:54916

I have tried the following two solutions for the Request Body:

SampleItem.Id=1&SampleItem.StringValue=TestValue

AND

<SampleItem xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/PerTrac.Cloud.Service.Statistic"> <Id>2147483647</Id> <StringValue>String content</StringValue> </SampleItem>

However all I am able to get back is a 400 error.

SampleItem looks like this:

 // TODO: Edit the SampleItem class [DataContract] public class SampleItem { [DataMember] public int Id { get; set; } [DataMember] public string StringValue { get; set; } }

How can I pass SampleItem to the service without getting a 400 error ???

The first example won't work (application/x-www-forms-urlencoded is not supported by WCF out-of-the-box). The second example should work if: 1) the namespace of the SampleItem class is PerTrac.Cloud.Service.Statistic; and 2) if you add a Content-Type header to the request (Content-Type: text/xml).

If it doesn't work, then try enabling tracing on the server side. The trace will have an information saying why the request is being rejected by WCF.

Holy locomotive Batman ! Thank you sir ! I would give you extra points if i could.
