How to call Post method with multiple parameter from C# project

I Have created a web api project , in values controller i created a method InsertHeading which takes three parameters and returns back a unique id. The method looks like this :-

  public int InsertHeading([FromBody]string appid, [FromBody]string type, [FromBody]string detail)
        {
            int x = 1;
            return 1;


        }

I tried this variant as well 

[HttpPost]
      public int InsertHeading(string appid, string type, string detail)
            {
                int x = 1;
                return 1;
            }

This piece of code is running when i give url like :- http://server:port/LoggingAPi/Values/InsertHeading from soap UI.

But when i try to call this method from my c# code i am getting 404 error how ever i try. Here are two ways i have tried :-

        using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://xxxxx:45422/");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

            var append = new MasterLogInfo() { appid = "2", type = "request", detail = "test call from genesys" };

            HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("LoggingAPI/Values/InsertMasterloginfo", append);

            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                // Get the URI of the created resource.
                Uri finalURL = response.Headers.Location;
            }

        }

Method 2:-

//  client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:53117/");
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://xxxxxx:45422/");
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
            //    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
   new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
                var user = new MasterLogInfo();
                user.appid = "100";
                user.typeRequest = "Test";
                user.detail = "test call from genesys";

      var response = client.PostAsync("LoggingAPI/Values/InsertMasterloginfo", new StringContent(new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(user), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")).Result;

            //    var response = client.PostAsync("Values/InsertHeading", new StringContent(new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(user), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")).Result;


                if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                {
                    // Get the URI of the created resource.
                    Uri finalURL = response.Headers.Location;
                }

            }

If i use FromBody tag in parameters i get 500 internal server error, without it i get 404 error. Can anybody tell me what am i missing.I have removed the body of insert Heading for security purpose

Create an object that represents the payload coming in from the post. Then you can use it in the action parameters e.g. public int InsertHeading([FromBody] MyObject myObject)
