Set mongodb ObjectId as an url parameter on web api 2.0

I want to pass a mongodb ObjectId parameter to controller via the URL as string.

I know in MVC you can use ModelBinder.

How I can do that in ASP.NET WebApi 2.0?

For using ObjectId type in controller like this:

    [Route("{id}")]
    public IHttpActionResult Get(ObjectId id)

ASP.NET Web API has the same detault route principle as MVC.

To be able to pass a value that is mapped directly then to your parameter, just match the property in query string to your method parameter name:

Call done to: {yourserver}/api/valuesasparam/call?myparam=498574395734958

Your ApiController:

public class ValuesAsParamController : ApiController
{
    [HttpGet]
    public IEnumerable<string> Call(string myparam)
    {
        // Do something with your 'myparam' value
    }
}

Update:

If you will to get directly the value as an ObjectId, check here for Model binding. and the follwing code to convert your string to an ObjectId:

MongoDB.Bson.ObjectId.Parse(myparam);
