Web API HttpDelete - how to call delete API method and send a model in [FromBody]

I am trying to call a HttpDelete restful web API method, by sending the parameters in the url. Call is successful.

Example

string url = path + "deletemethodName?Id=" + Convert.ToInt32(idpamameter) + "&name=" + nameParameter;
                using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
                {
                    using (HttpResponseMessage response = client.DeleteAsync(url).Result)
                    {
                        if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                        {
                            return Json(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
                        }
                       }
                }

Is there a way- while calling the HttpDelete method, just like how we use to call POST method with model data sent in the body and by using [FromBody] in API method, to access model data instead of sending it in the URL ?

Since I have more than 5 parameters in my HttpDelete method to be appended in the URL - I am looking to send a model data.

Thanks in advance.

You cal delete records by post method. If you are displaying your records in table format then us Foreach loop and inside that loop use Html Form Like below :

using(Html.BeginForm("ACTIONNAME","CONTROLLERNAME", new { id=item.id, ..... }))

Then add

 <input typer="submit" value="Delete"/>

For post data to your action controller.

The higher-level DeleteAsync doesn't support a body, but we can do it in the "long way":

var request = new HttpRequestMessage {
    Method = HttpMethod.Delete,
    RequestUri = new Uri("http://mydomain/api/something"),
    Content = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObj), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")
};
var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
