Hey guys, I have this controller: (It's the default when you create a project with mvc)

[ResponseType(typeof(Event))]
        public async Task<IHttpActionResult> PostEvent(Event @event)
        {
            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                return BadRequest(ModelState);
            }

            db.Events.Add(@event);
            await db.SaveChangesAsync();

            return CreatedAtRoute("DefaultApi", new { id = @event.Id }, @event);
        }

Where is that JSON data, are you passing that data to this action somewhere?

hi ,you will use a repository pattern and implement it in your controller (Mvc or Api)
for example with Controller Mvc use this code :
************************************************************
// POST: /Persons/Create
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<actionresult> Create(Person person)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
await _genericRepository.InsertAsync(person);
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

return View(person);
}
**************************************************************
be careful i am used a folder that contains two files concerning Repository pattern if you want i will send you my code source
then you will download a Postman Chrome Rest client and choose Post method to create what you want.
