Issue with Posted JSON data to Web API

Hi,

I have a web page which posts data to an Web API.

The ajax function is as follows.

var jsondata = { "comparisionCalculatorReq": { "transactionType": "None", "fundName": "Myfund", "annualizedReturn": "10", "frequency": "Monthly"} };
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://localhost:1101/Mypost/PostDataAPI",
dataType: 'json',
data: jsondata
}).done(function (msg) {
alert(msg);
});

In my Web API controller i have a method as below

The JSONdata class is below

Problem is that, I'm getting null value for transactionType in my controller.

If the json data is passed like this in ajax,

var jsondata={ "transactionType": "None", "fundName": "Myfund", "annualizedReturn": "10", "frequency": "Monthly"};

then all the values are got correct.

Please provide a solution for this.

I got the solution. Changed my model class as below
publicclassJSONdata
{
publiccomparisionCalculatorReq[]comparisionCalculatorReq{get;set;}
}
publicclasscomparisionCalculatorReq
{
publicstringtransactionType{get;set;}
publicstringfundName{get;set;}
publicstringannualizedReturn{get;set;}
publicstringfrequency{get;set;}
}

Hi Bikesh,
Can you specify where am I supposed to do that?

you need to Deserializeyour json into Your object.
varobj=JsonConvert.DeserializeObject>(responseFromServer);
