I have very little experience with the API. I am trying to transfer data about viewing a product record from my mobile app .NET MAUI to the server ASP.NET using an HttpPost request. I am trying to transfer data from the mobile client in the form of JSON using String Content, as suggested in the documentation. But I still couldn’t find information on how to get this JSON and convert it to an instance of the View class.

My API HttpPost code:

[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class ViewController : ControllerBase
{

    // POST api/<ViewController>
    [HttpPost]
    public async void Post(int id, DateOnly date, TimeOnly time)
    {
        using (VapeshopContext db = new VapeshopContext())
        {
            View view = new View
            {
                Date = date,
                Time = time,
                ProductId = id
            };
            db.Views.Add(view);
            await db.SaveChangesAsync();
        }
    }    
}

My POST request code:

 private async void toInfoPage(object obj)
 {
     if (obj != null)
     {         
         var p = obj as Product;
         using StringContent jsonContent = new(
             JsonSerializer.Serialize(new
             {
                 Date = DateOnly.FromDateTime(DateTime.Now),
                 Time = TimeOnly.FromDateTime(DateTime.Now),
                 ProductId = p.Id
             }),
             Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
         await httpClient.PostAsJsonAsync("http://10.0.2.2:5125/api/View",jsonContent);

        var newPage = new ProductInfo(obj as Product);
        await Navigation.PushAsync(newPage);
     }
 }
