Here is my my class

public class wsCategory
{
    public string PartNumber { get; set; }

    public string Category { get; set; }
}

Here is my Api Controller

[HttpPatch]

    var data = jsonbody.PartNumber;

based on your method

[HttpPatch]
[ActionName("IMDSCategory")]
public HttpResponseMessage IMDSCategory([FromBody]wsCategory jsonbody){...}

Your JSON is invalid given the model you are trying to parse.

[{"PartNumber":"AN33016UA-VB"}{"Category":"Chassis"}]

should be

{"PartNumber":"AN33016UA-VB","Category":"Chassis"}

The JSON is inavalid.

[{"PartNumber":"blahblah","Category":"Chassis"}]

I believe the array container will be parsed out correctly, but I'm on a chromebook right now, so I can't check that. If it still fails, drop the [].
