  Model Binding WepApi2 is allways null

  Jan 15, 2014 02:05 AM|ChrisPDX503|LINK

  I have a model class:

  public class CheckUserEmail
      {
          [Required]
          [Display(Name = "Email Address")]
          [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
          [EmailAddress]
          public string Email { get; set; }
          
      }

  And the following method in an API Controller

  public string Get(CheckUserEmail model)
          {  
              return model.Email;
          }
  
  

  Going to domain/api/Test/?Email=bla@bla.com the model is null?

  Yet the following  method in an MVC controller works just fine ie going to domain/home/test/?Email=bla@bla.com and the model is not null

  public ActionResult Test(CheckUserEmail model)
          {
              
              return View(model);
          }

  With the following view:

  @model MainAppWebRole.Models.CheckUserEmail
  @Model.Email

  Why is the WebApi2 not binding the get values to the model, but MVC is?

  Hi,

  Check you WebAPI configuration

  Ceck API Controller inherits from ApiController

  Finally try decorating Api Get method with HttpGet attribute

  Hope it helps
