Deserializing a complex type in WebAPI is giving me serious grief. The data contains keys that are syntactically invalid in c# as property names. How can I translate the key names?

Relevant: Web API form-urlencoded binding to different property names

You can use JSON.NET's JsonProperty to do the trick:

public class SomeModel {
    [JsonProperty("YourCustomName")]
    public string SomeProperty { get; set; }
}

FormUrlEncodedMediaTypeFormatter will recognize that attribute? –  Ablue Jun 25 at 5:26
    
Looks like for the purposes of JSON deserialization and serialization it works but not for form urlencoded data. –  Ablue Jun 25 at 6:13
