ModelBinding throws error No parameterless constructor defined for this object

I had an API endpoint like below,

public ActionResult GetData([FromBody] Employee emp)
{
  
}

I had a class like below:

public class Employee : Department
{
  public string EmpName {get; set;}
  public string EmpDetails {get; set;}

}

public class Department
{
    public string DeptName {get; set;}
    public TimeZoneInfo ClientTimeZoneInfo { get; set; }
}

when I pass my object as below, its working fine and endpoint is hitting

{
  "EmpName" : "Demo",
  "EmpDetails" : "Test",
  "DeptName" : "Cargo"
}

But when I pass my objext like below, throwing error and endpoint is not hitting

{
  "EmpName" : "Demo",
  "EmpDetails" : "Test",
  "DeptName" : "Cargo",

}

When I click on the button on UI it will call my javaScript method replyMesaage(Employee) and obj== Employee object

  replyMessage(obj) {
        let that = this;
        var token = $('input[name="__RequestVerificationToken"]').val();
        // call to get the reply message partial view markup
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "/Messages/GetData",
            data: { __RequestVerificationToken: token, model: obj },
            success: function (data) {
                $(window).scrollTop(0);
                var panelbar = $("#Dump").data("kendoPanelBar");
                panelbar.insertBefore({
                    text: "",
                    encoded: false,
                    content: data,
                    expanded: true,
                    collapse: function (e) {
                        if (e.item.class.contains('reply'))
                            e.preventDefault();
                    }
                }, panelbar.element.children("li:first"));
                var isInternal = $("#test").val();
                var message = $("#subject").val();
                var TypeValue = $("#TypeValue").val();
                that.loadRecipientList(isInternal, message, TypeValue);
            }
        });

Exception:

Could someone help me with this issue?

You have two main choices :

  1. Create new class EmpDept that contains EmpName,EmpDetails and DepName properties and change your action to GetData([FromBody] EmpDept empDept)

  2. just change your action to GetData([FromBody] string EmpName, string EmpDetails, string DepName=null) and in the action body create new classes with this params
