Json post is invalid unless is wrapped in brackets

Question

In my code i send a post to rest service such as:

var response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync(requesturi, mydata);

mydata collection is translated to Json by PostAsJsonAsyn as:

{
    "queryid" : "GetNames",
    "@StartDate" : "1/1/2019",
    "@EndDate" : " "2/1/2019"
}

However the server return Http 400 reponse unless the jason object is wrapped in brackets (tested in Postman)

[
   {
       "queryid" : "GetNames",
       "@StartDate" : "1/1/2019",
       "@EndDate" : " "2/1/2019"
   }
]

Is there any way to add the brackets to json object passed by PostAsJasonAsyn method

Thanks

Brackets indicate array, so it seems that is expected. You will have to create mydata to be a list/array/enumerable. Can you show us what mydata is? — CrnaStena, Jan 23 '19 at 21:04

Try this:

var response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync(requesturi, new[] { mydata } );

yes that should do it. although it might be better to declare mydata as an array. – CrnaStena Jan 23 '19 at 21:08
