ApiController Action Failing to parse array from querystring

Question

Using Visual Studio 2012.2, MVC4 web application.

I have requests coming to my ApiController like so:

http://localhost/api/keys?ids[]=1&ids[]=2&ids[]=3

And I was under the impression that the following method should be able to automagically retrieve the values from the ids[] array:

public KeysModel Get(int[] ids){...}

However, when a request like the one above comes in, the value of the "ids" parameter is null.

I have inspected that HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString has the values for ids, and I could get to them that way, but that makes unit testing harder.

I have also tried using List ids, [FromUri], [FromUri(Name="ids[]")], object ids, and string ids (interesting note... when ids is a string variable, the value within it is "(Collection)"

Answer 1

Turns out:

public KeysModel Get([FromUri]int[] ids){...}

Was the answer after all.

Dunno what I was doing before...
