Hi - to my understanding this method is looking to receive a List<>, but I am only wanting it to receive ONE parameter from the list (company) but return the full List<> -
What do I need to do to modify this so that it accepts only one parameter from the list (which as you can see is being used in the where clause)?
public class InvoicePullController : ApiController
{
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<InvoiceToDisplay> Get([FromBody] InvoiceToDisplay itd)
{
List<InvoiceToDisplay> result = new List<InvoiceToDisplay>();
using (XamarinEntities entities = new XamarinEntities())
{
result = (from a in entities.Companies
join b in entities.Invoices
on a.compNumber equals b.compNumber
where a.Company1 == itd.company
select new InvoiceToDisplay()
{
company = a.Company1,
invoicenum = b.InvoiceNum,
invoiceamt = b.InvoiceAmt ?? 0
}).ToList();
}
return result;
}
}
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<InvoiceToDisplay> Get([FromBody] InvoiceToDisplay itd)
If you'd like to send data to your Web API action via request body, you can try to use [HttpPost] instead of [HttpGet] that only supports passing data via query string.

Please go to the definition of your InvoiceToDisplayclass and check the type of companyproperty, and then modify your action to accept a parameter with same type of company property.
For example, if the type of company property in InvoiceToDisplay class is string, you can modify the action as below.

where a.Company1 == itd.company[0] // would address the first item in the list if itd.compnay is a list.
I really don't understand what you are looking to do.
Maybe, you're talking about the below.
select new InvoiceToDisplay() { company = a.Company1, invoicenum = b.InvoiceNum, invoiceamt = b.InvoiceAmt ?? 0 }).First();All-Star

[HttpPost] public IEnumerable<InvoiceToDisplay> Post([FromBody] string company) { //your code logic }With Regards,
