In my Angularjs service I have this code:

$http.post("/EditWorkout/GetId", data).error(function (responseData) {
            console.log("Error !" + responseData);
        });

And I have this method in my ASP.net controller:

       [System.Web.Http.HttpPost]
        public JsonResult GetId(string routineId)
        {
            try
            {
                string x = routineId;
                return Json(new {success = true});
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

                return Json(new { success = false, errorMessage = ex.Message });
            }

        }

I've put a break point on return Json(new {success = true}); and it gets fired, but my routineId is for some reason null, and data which I send using angular's $http.post isn't.

Why is this happening ?

What's inside the data variable? And what's the Content-Type request header being sent? Look at the development console of your Google Chrome browser to see the exact request being made. – Darin Dimitrov Oct 8 '13 at 9:07
    
Yes, it is a variable, I've even tried using "sometext" instead of data, and Content-Type is application/json;charset=utf-8 – hyperN Oct 8 '13 at 9:12
    
And Status Code is HTTP/1.1 200 OK – hyperN Oct 8 '13 at 9:15

try this:

$http.post("/EditWorkout/GetId", { routineId : data}).error(function (responseData) {
            console.log("Error !" + responseData);
        });

and... why does this work? is it just because routineId is the same name in the controller and json object? – ChiliYago Jan 6 '15 at 22:49

@chiliYago that is correct. Your JSON will be parsed as the C# object that is a parameter(s) on your API controller so they must match or will get an error. – MGot90 Aug 11 '15 at 3:47
