Sending byte array to API
I am converting web application to mobile app. We were using AjaxAsyncFileUpload in web application to save a document to the server, where AjaxAsyncFileUpload use to do the work for me. This was the code
Dim fileData As Byte() =new Byte(AjaxAsyncFileUpload.FileContent.Length-1){}
AjaxAsyncFileUpload.FileContent.Read(fileData, 0, fileData.Length)
InvestmentDeclare.DocSize = AjaxAsyncFileUpload.FileContent.Length
InvestmentDeclare.DocFileName = AjaxAsyncFileUpload.FileName
InvestmentDeclare.DocFileType = AjaxAsyncFileUpload.PostedFile.ContentType
InvestmentDeclare.Document = fileData
And then simply save this to my database.
Now while Converting this to mobile app (I am also using c# for mobile app), I am not able to pass the byte array. I am using fiddler for testing.
I have attached an image of how I'm passing it through fiddler. In my API POST method I'm getting a null value to my document variable while I'm able to get rest of my values properly.
What could be the issue? Am I not passing the byte in proper Json format?
In API:
public class AddInvestmentDeclare
{
public int EmployeeId { get; set; }
public int YearId { get; set; }
public int InvestmentId { get; set; }
public List<EmpDocument> EmpDocuments { get; set; }
}
public class EmpDocument
{
public byte Document { get; set; }
public string DocumentFileName { get; set; }
public long DocumentSize { get; set; }
public string DocumentType { get; set; }
}
public HttpResponseMessage Post(int YearId, [FromBody]List<AddInvestmentDeclare> InvestmentDeclared)
{
When I check my InvestDeclared list on run time I see that document variable is not filled and it is showing null. I have attached an image of that as well.

What is the application that is actually calling the post method? Show that code please. Fiddler is good for testing and to properly upload a file use stackoverflow.com/a/51622705/1260204. To read that file in, if it is passed correctly, see stackoverflow.com/questions/10320232/how-to-accept-a-file-post.

Have you tried sending the byte array as string? I've found some example that I used for testing and the JSON that I'm using looks like this: { "ID":46, "Content":"JVBERi0xLjQNCjEgMCBvYm......" } Also, try converting it with this stackoverflow.com/a/11654825/9233618

Also, why don't you set up API method in a way that it accepts just one object containing all data, instead of each parameter individually?

First, setup your API method in a way that it accepts just one object containing all data instead of each parameter individually.
Instead of:
public HttpResponseMessage Post([FromUri]string AccordDbName, [FromUri]String PayCareDbName, [FromUri]...)
Set it up like:
public HttpResponseMessage Post(Data dataObject)
Secondly, try sending file as a base64string.
Here is example how to do it.
Your file in JSON request should look something like this:
{ "ID":46,
"Content":"JVBERi0xLjQNCjEgMCBvYm......"
}
