Custom property name binding for application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Question

For application/json or application/xml I can use DataContract for a custom property name binding:

[HttpPost]
public string Method([FromBody]Model request)
{
}

[DataContract]
public class Model
{
    [DataMember(Name="custom_name")]
    public string CustomName { get; set; }
}

How can I use DataContract or something else for application/x-www-form-urlencoded?

There is a built-in FormUrlEncodedMediaTypeFormatter implementation for form-urlencoded that you can use. It should work against any POCO class (Your data contract should work as well but it would ignore the DataContract attributes),

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.http.formatting.formurlencodedmediatypeformatter(v=vs.108).aspx

Make sure you have that media type formatter configured in your web api.

FormUrlEncodedMediaTypeFormatter and JQueryMvcFormUrlEncodedFormatter not work with DataContract – Viktor Kuznetsov Apr 12 '13 at 13:49

Here's an MSDN post on setting the DataContractFormat: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/endpoint/archive/2011/05/15/using-datacontracts-with-wcf-web-api.aspx

The MediaTypeFormatterCollection class contains FormUrlEncodedFormatter. You could try the above post to set your DataContractSerializer.

It's an old post but maybe this could helps other people. Here is a solution with ModelBinder and AliasAttribute to do this kind of code :

[ModelBinder(typeof(AliasBinder))]
public class MyModel
{
    [Alias("state")]
    public string Status { get; set; }
}

Hope this helps :)
