I have added a rest API to a WCF service, unfortunately I don't really understand how to handle the POST calls correctly. For example, at WCF Service is this Save Fuction:

Interface VB.Net:

      <OperationContract()>
<WebInvoke(Method:="POST", UriTemplate:="/saveNewAZEntry", BodyStyle:=WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, RequestFormat:=WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat:=WebMessageFormat.Json)>
Function SaveNewAZEntry(ByVal NewAZEntry As AZEntry) As AZEntry

Function VB.Net:

    Public Function SaveNewAZEntry(ByVal NewAZEntry As AZEntry) As AZEntry Implements IPMProService.SaveNewAZEntry

    If NewAZEntry.start.Date = NewAZEntry.finished.Date And DateDiff(DateInterval.Minute, NewAZEntry.start, NewAZEntry.finished) >= My.Settings.MinAZDauer Then .......

Now I try to call this function in my application via the API:

C#:

    private static HttpClient _client = new HttpClient();
    private static string ServiceUrl = "http://localhost:64917/PMProService.svc/api";
    
    [HttpPost]
    internal static void SaveAZEntry(AZEntry azEntry)
    {
        var uri = new Uri($"{ServiceUrl}/saveNewAZEntry");

        try
        {
            var jsonString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(azEntry);
            HttpContent content = new StringContent(jsonString, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
            HttpResponseMessage response = _client.PostAsync(uri, content).Result;
            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw ex;
        }
    }

Now the function is called via the API but the object is not passed to the function and is still null. What am I doing wrong here?

Let me know if this is something that helps you:

    public void SendDataToWCF(AZEntry aZEntry)
    {

        var uri = new Uri("http://localhost:64917/PMProService.svc/api/saveNewAZEntry");

        string strParam = string.Concat("param1=", aZEntry.param1, "&param2=", aZEntry.param2);
        byte[] data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strParam);

        // Create request
        HttpWebRequest webrequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);

        webrequest.Method = "POST";
        webrequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        webrequest.ContentLength = data.Length;

        //Send/Write data to your Stream/server
        using (Stream newStream = webrequest.GetRequestStream())
        {
            newStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
        }


        // get the response
        using (WebResponse resp = webrequest.GetResponse())
        {
            using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream()))
            {
                var resultS = reader.ReadToEnd();
                // Do something with your response
            }
        }

    }
