I've googled a lot searching for an answer to my problem with no luck so, let's try if someone else can help me.
I have a Web Api 2 action to register an user after doing some validations. If everything works, it return the serialized user and if don't, an error message sent within a BadRequest response.
At the other hand, I have a WPF client that calls the API for a response.
My problem is that I can't get the reason sent by the error, the client just get the Bad Request error message.
This is a part of the code:
Web Api Action:
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> AddUser(NewUserDTO { if (!ModelState.IsValid) { return BadRequest(ModelState); } if (!model.IdCliente.HasValue) { ModelState.AddModelError("", "No existe el cliente"); return BadRequest(ModelState); } // do save stuff return Ok(TheModelFactory.Create(user)); }
Client function:
public async Task<ApplicationUserDTO> AddUser(NewUserDTO dto) { using (var client = new HttpClient()) { client.BaseAddress = new Uri(_urlBase); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear(); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json")); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", Token); HttpContent content = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dto)); content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json"); HttpResponseMessage responseMessage = await client.PostAsync("api/accounts/AddUser", content); if (responseMessage.IsSuccessStatusCode) { var responseJson = await responseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ApplicationUserDTO>(responseJson); } else MessageBox.Show(responseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result); return user; } }
Anyone can help?
Edited:
DTO:
[Serializable] public class NewUserDTO { public int? IdCliente { get; set; } [Required] public string UserName { get; set; } [Required] public string Email { get; set; } public string Role { get; set; } public string Password { get; set; } }
Anyway... the dto is sent correctly to api nut, here's the serialized dto as you asked for:
"{\"IdCliente\":null,\"UserName\":\"Toni\",\"Email\":\"soft@moreno-csa.com\",\"Role\":\"Filtra\",\"Password\":\"TONI\"}"
