Natively WebAPI doesn't support binding of multiple POST parameters.Here I already gave two examples of WebAPI with multiple Post parameters. Now I will use similiar approach to send image plus additional data, like file and folder name. First don't forget in Program.cs to add Service:
builder.Services.AddMvc().AddNewtonsoftJson();Controller:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
namespace UploadImageServer.Controllers;
public class UploadImageController : Controller
{
[HttpPost]
[Route("UploadImage")]
public async Task<IActionResult> UploadImage([FromBody] JObject? data)
{
if (data is null) return BadRequest(new { message = "No image." });
string? base64Image = data["image"]?.ToString();
if (base64Image == null) return BadRequest(new { message = "No image." });
byte[] imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64Image);
Directory.CreateDirectory(data["folderName"]?.ToString() ?? string.Empty);
string imagePath = $"{data["folderName"]}\\{data["fileName"]}";
await System.IO.File.WriteAllBytesAsync(imagePath, imageBytes);
return Ok(new { message = "Image uploaded successfully." });
}
}

Client:
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
string imageUrl = "spring.jpg";
string base64Image = ConvertImageToBase64(imageUrl);
var jsonData = new JObject
{
["image"] = base64Image
, ["fileName"] = "magnolia.jpg"
, ["folderName"] = "spring"
};
string jsonContent = jsonData.ToString();
using HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
StringContent content = new StringContent(jsonContent);
content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync("https://localhost:7028/UploadImage", content);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
Console.WriteLine("Image uploaded successfully!");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to upload image. Status code: " + response.StatusCode);
}
static string ConvertImageToBase64(string imagePath)
{
byte[] imageBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(imagePath);
return Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes);
}

Log4NetLogger log4NetLogger = new Log4NetLogger(log);
AsyncFtpClient client = new AsyncFtpClient(host, user, pass);
client.ValidateCertificate += OnValidateCertificate;
client.Logger = new FtpLogAdapter(log4NetLogger);
await client.AutoConnect();
await client.UploadFile(fileName, "/public_html/kmlTestDelete/test.kml");
private void OnValidateCertificate(BaseFtpClient control, FtpSslValidationEventArgs e)
{
e.Accept = true;
}
The method OnValidateCertificate I am using to accept any certificate, this part of code I took from here
Class Log4NetLogger looks like this:
using log4net;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using ILogger = Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger;
namespace FluentFTPasyncExample;
public class Log4NetLogger : ILogger
{
private readonly ILog _log;
public Log4NetLogger(ILog log)
{
_log = log;
}
public void Log<TState>(LogLevel logLevel, EventId eventId, TState state, Exception exception, Func<TState, Exception, string> formatter)
{
string message = $"{formatter(state, exception)} {exception}";
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(message))
{
switch (logLevel)
{
case LogLevel.Critical:
_log.Fatal(message);
break;
case LogLevel.Debug:
case LogLevel.Trace:
_log.Debug(message);
break;
case LogLevel.Error:
_log.Error(message);
break;
case LogLevel.Information:
_log.Info(message);
break;
case LogLevel.Warning:
_log.Warn(message);
break;
default:
_log.Warn($"Encountered unknown log level {logLevel}, writing out as Info.");
_log.Info(message, exception);
break;
}
}
}
public bool IsEnabled(LogLevel logLevel)
{
switch (logLevel)
{
case LogLevel.Critical:
return _log.IsFatalEnabled;
case LogLevel.Debug:
case LogLevel.Trace:
return _log.IsDebugEnabled;
case LogLevel.Error:
return _log.IsErrorEnabled;
case LogLevel.Information:
return _log.IsInfoEnabled;
case LogLevel.Warning:
return _log.IsWarnEnabled;
default:
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(logLevel));
}
}
public IDisposable BeginScope<TState>(TState state)
{
return null!;
}
}
Notice that I am injecting log4net in constructor.

First console example
Start new console app Install package log4net Add XML file, name it like "log4netConfiguration.xml" and in properties set "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy always":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<log4net>
<appender name="myConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%-4timestamp [%thread] %-5level %logger %ndc - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="myConsoleAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
Here notice the name of appender: myConsoleAppender
Code:
using log4net;
using log4net.Repository;
using System.Reflection;
if (!File.Exists("log4netConfiguration.xml"))
throw new Exception("File log4netConfiguration.xml does not exist");
ILoggerRepository loggerRepository = LogManager.GetRepository(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly());
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(loggerRepository, new FileInfo("log4netConfiguration.xml"));
var log = LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod()?.DeclaringType);
log.Debug("test");
Example download from here
Second console and file example
Just change XML to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<log4net>
<appender name="myConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender">
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%-4timestamp [%thread] %-5level %logger %ndc - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<appender name="myRollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="example.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="2" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%level %thread %logger - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="myConsoleAppender" />
<appender-ref ref="myRollingFileAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
Notice myRollingFileAppender.
Third WinForms and TextBox example
This example I took from here XML configuration:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <log4net> <appender name="myTextBoxAppender" type="log4netWinFormsExample.TextBoxAppender, log4netWinFormsExample"> <formName value="Form1"/> <textBoxName value="textBox1"/> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%date %-5level %logger - %message" /> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="DEBUG" /> <appender-ref ref="myTextBoxAppender" /> </root> </log4net>Here notice that I have added namespace "log4netWinFormsExample" in the type attribute of appender node:
<appender name="myTextBoxAppender" type="log4netWinFormsExample.TextBoxAppender, log4netWinFormsExample">TextBoxAppender class:
using log4net.Appender;
namespace log4netWinFormsExample;
public class TextBoxAppender : AppenderSkeleton
{
private TextBox _textBox;
public TextBox AppenderTextBox
{
get
{
return _textBox;
}
set
{
_textBox = value;
}
}
public string FormName { get; set; }
public string TextBoxName { get; set; }
private Control FindControlRecursive(Control root, string textBoxName)
{
if (root.Name == textBoxName) return root;
foreach (Control c in root.Controls)
{
Control t = FindControlRecursive(c, textBoxName);
if (t != null) return t;
}
return null;
}
protected override void Append(log4net.Core.LoggingEvent loggingEvent)
{
if (_textBox == null)
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(FormName) ||
String.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBoxName))
return;
Form form = Application.OpenForms[FormName];
if (form == null)
return;
_textBox = (TextBox)FindControlRecursive(form, TextBoxName);
if (_textBox == null)
return;
form.FormClosing += (s, e) => _textBox = null;
}
_textBox.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate
{
_textBox.AppendText(loggingEvent.RenderedMessage + Environment.NewLine);
});
}
}
Here notice line:
_textBox.AppendText(loggingEvent.RenderedMessage + Environment.NewLine);Instead you could write:
_textBox.AppendText(RenderLoggingEvent(loggingEvent));To take advantage of a pattern layout as described in this comment. The main code:
using System.Reflection;
using log4net;
using log4net.Repository;
namespace log4netWinFormsExample;
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnLogIt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!File.Exists("log4netConfiguration.xml"))
throw new Exception("File log4netConfiguration.xml does not exist");
ILoggerRepository loggerRepository = LogManager.GetRepository(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly());
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(loggerRepository, new FileInfo("log4netConfiguration.xml"));
var log = LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod()?.DeclaringType);
log.Debug("test");
}
}

First example
WebAPI:
[HttpPost]
public string Post(string value1, string value2)
{
return $"Sent: {value1}, {value2}";
}
Console:
Console.WriteLine("************* POST *************");
HttpClient httpClientPost = new HttpClient();
Task<HttpResponseMessage> httpResponseMessage = httpClientPost.PostAsync(@"https://localhost:7037/api/Values?value1=test1&value2=test2'", null);
Task<string> httpClientPostResult = httpResponseMessage.Result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.WriteLine(httpClientPostResult.Result);

Second example.
First install Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson In \WebApi\WebApi\Program.cs add line:builder.Services.AddMvc().AddNewtonsoftJson();Now Program.cs looks like:
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddControllers();
// Learn more about configuring Swagger/OpenAPI at https://aka.ms/aspnetcore/swashbuckle
builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen();
builder.Services.AddMvc().AddNewtonsoftJson();
var app = builder.Build();
// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseSwagger();
app.UseSwaggerUI();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.MapControllers();
app.Run();
Controller:
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
namespace WebApi.Controllers;
[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class ValuesController : ControllerBase
{
// POST api/<ValuesController>
[HttpPost]
public string Post([FromBody] JObject data)
{
return "test";
}
}
Console:
using System.Text;
Console.WriteLine("************* POST *************");
HttpClient httpClientPost = new HttpClient();
Task<HttpResponseMessage> httpResponseMessage = httpClientPost.PostAsync(@"https://localhost:7037/api/Values"
, new StringContent(@"{""additionalProp1"":[""string""],""additionalProp2"":[""string""],""additionalProp3"":[""string""]}"
, Encoding.UTF8
, "application/json"));
Task<string> httpClientPostResult = httpResponseMessage.Result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.WriteLine(httpClientPostResult.Result);
