c# - Web api not supporting POST method

Question

In my web api controller i have a function with following codes

       [HttpPost]
        public HttpResponseMessage Post(string schooltypeName)
        {
            _schoolTypeService.RegisterSchoolType(schooltypeName);

            var message = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created);

            return message;
        }

When i am calling with fiddler i am getting this error

{"Message":"The requested resource does not support http method 'POST'."}

my fiddling parameters are

Header

User-Agent: Fiddler

Host: myhost:8823

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

Content-Length: 26

Request body

{"schooltypeName":"Aided"}

Requesting url are

http://myhost:8823/SchoolType

( i configured url ,GET is working with this url)

Whats wrong here ?

Answer 1

Change your action to be like Post([FromBody]string schooltypeName) as by default string type is expected to come Uri.

Updated:
Change your body to just "Aided" as currently you would need a class to make the deserialiation work otherwise (ex:class School { public string SchoolTypeName { get; set; } }
