how to pass parameters to asp.net web api get method?

Question

Following is my get method in ASP.NET Web API.

[HttpGet]
public IHttpActionResult GetDetails([FromBody] RetrieveDetails  eDetails)
{}

following is the class

public class RetrieveDetails
{ 
    public string name{ get; set; }     
    public string Type { get; set; } 
}

When I try to call GetDetails from Fiddler eDetails is always null.

http://localhost:101222/api/emailservice/GetDetails?name=testname&Type=testtype

I tried different methods but the value is always null. If I change [HttpGet] to [HttpPost] and add the request body its working fine. But I need get method.

Change `[FromBody]` to `[FromUri]` and your url should work. — Nkosi, Aug 19 '17 at 01:30

Do you need [FromBody] there if you are passing values in URL for GET. You should be using [FromUri] if you are passing values in querystring.
