Asp.Net Web Api, how to get posted XML format data?

Question

I use var content = Request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result; to get that data posted to mine is

<xml><OpenId><![CDATA[oX2XXXXXX-HFCR8O_BkI]]></OpenId>
<AppId><![CDATA[wxbcXXXXXX4d]]></AppId>
<IsSubscribe>0</IsSubscribe>
<ProductId><![CDATA[XXXXXX01]]></ProductId>
<TimeStamp>1416482878</TimeStamp>
<NonceStr><![CDATA[XXXXXXX]]></NonceStr>
<AppSignature><![CDATA[cff4XXXXXX8a513891f0]]></AppSignature>
<SignMethod><![CDATA[sha1]]></SignMethod>
</xml>

And I've crated the structure

public class PackageModal
    {
        public string OpenId { get; set; }
        public string AppId { get; set; }
        public string IsSubscribe { get; set; }
        public string ProductId { get; set; }
        public string TimeStamp { get; set; }
        public string NonceStr { get; set; }
        public string AppSignature { get; set; }
        public string SignMethod { get; set; }
    }

But in the controller, [HttpPost]

public string PostNotify(PackageModal modal)
{
 ....
}

Why the modal is null? Do I need to specify that posted data is XML-format?

@Kumar That answer recommended setting the global config. But I only need this specific api to receive XML data — wtf512

What about if you sent a JSON instead of XML, will that work ?

if not, try use [FromBody] in your method, so something like

public string PostNotify([FromBody]PackageModal modal)
{
 ....
}

This will tell the model binder to try map the PackageModel from the request body.

Hope that helps.

[FromBody] Not working. The api is a payment notify url. I can't decide to receive other than the xml format data.

Yeah, but how will you client send the xml.? As a query string (in the url) or in the message body?

[HttpPost]
public string ReturnXmlDocument(HttpRequestMessage request)
{
    var doc = new XmlDocument();
    doc.Load(request.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync().Result);
    return doc.DocumentElement.OuterXml;
}

That's it!
