Postman using Put

Question

Trying to do Put using Postman, can't seems to figure it out:

I have this method, which triggers a break point and everything is good:

public IHttpActionResult Put(User user)
{
    // ... code ...
    return StatusCode(HttpStatusCode.NoContent);
}

In a Postman:

url:          .../api/users/2 
Headers(1):   Content-Type application/json, 
Body: 
     {
          "id": "1",
          "login": "Test",
          "pass": "1"
      }

... the usual stuff, etc ...

It works, but NOW I need to change the method to

public IHttpActionResult Put(int key, User user)
{
    // ... code ...
    return StatusCode(HttpStatusCode.NoContent);
}

I tried everything in a body of message using Postman, nothing makes it trigger the break-point. How do I have that key passed in along with user object???

Needed to add [FromBody] also because my routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}" is like this, I changed method definition from key to id, that way I can call Put using the following url .../api/users/3

Sounds like you want to add `[FromBody]` to the user parameter. See [WebAPI Multiple Put/Post parameters](http://stackoverflow.com/q/14407458/215552), which appears to ask the same question as yours... — Heretic Monkey, Oct 25 '16 at 21:38

You need to use [FromBody]. The following is the working code which I use with HttpPost

[HttpPost("ByYear")]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetStudentDetailByYear([FromBody]SearchStudentModel model)
{
   if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(model.query)
       || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(model.AcademicYearID))
       return BadRequest("Required Parameter not provided");

      // some codes to handle the query
 }
