getting 400 error on webapi call blazorserver - asp.net-core

Question

i am trying to setup a blazor server app, calling a webapi.
I keep getting a 400 error returned, when I call the API.
I have 3 Projects, projectserver and projectapi. projectserver is where the Blazor app sits and Project API is where the API sits.
I don't know if the apicall can find the API as it does not hit any breakpoints in the API section, I am totally confused, as if it cannot find the API then it should return a 404 or other error and not 400 ?
thank you for your efforts.
this is my code,
Projectserver, this is where I post the Register Model to the API
public string message { get; set; }
public RegisterModel r = new RegisterModel();
private async Task Create(MouseEventArgs e)
{
var json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(r);
var client = clientfactory.CreateClient("ServerApi");
var result = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("/Account/Register",json); // check the Startup file and check base address for the Full route.
message = result.StatusCode.ToString();
}
}
the ClientFactory returns the base address of what is defined in startup.cs
services.AddHttpClient("ServerApi", client => client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://localhost:44302/"));
the API is Projectserver and defined as follows.
[Route("[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class AccountContoller : ControllerBase
{
private readonly ApplicationDbContext _context;
private readonly SecurityOptions _securityOptions;
private readonly JwtIssuerOptions _jwtOptions;
// GET: api/<Account>
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
// GET api/<Account>/5
[HttpGet("{id}")]
public string Get(int id)
{
return "value";
}
// POST api/<Account>
[HttpPost]
public void Post([FromBody] string value)
{
}
// POST api/<Account>
[HttpPost("Register")]
public async Task<ActionResult<RegisterResult>> Register(RegisterModel model)
{
RegisterResult r = new RegisterResult();
var Exisits = await _context.Users.Where(r => r.EmailAddress == model.Email).FirstOrDefaultAsync();
if(Exisits != null)
{
r.Sucsess = false;
r.ErrorMessage = "Email - Already Exisits";
return r;
}
else
{
try
{
User newuser = new User();
newuser.CreatedDateTime = DateTime.UtcNow;
newuser.UserID = Guid.NewGuid();
newuser.MobileNumber = model.MobileNumber;
newuser.Password = model.Password;
newuser.FirstName = model.FirstName;
newuser.Surname = model.LastName;
_context.Users.Add(newuser);
await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
r.Sucsess = true;
return r;
}
catch(Exception e)
{
r.Sucsess = false;
r.ErrorMessage = e.ToString();
return r;
}
}
}
the Model classes are defined as Serializable
[Serializable]
public class RegisterResult
{
public bool Sucsess { get; set; }
public string ErrorMessage { get; set; }
}
[Serializable]
public class RegisterModel
{
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string RoleID { get; set; }
public string EntityID { get; set; }
public string MobileNumber { get; set; }
}

Can you please modify your code as below and give it a try:-
var serializedBody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(r);
var jsonRequestBodyContent = new StringContent(serializedBody, Encoding.UTF8,"application/json");
var client = clientfactory.CreateClient("ServerApi");
var result = await client.PostAsync("/Account/Register",jsonRequestBodyContent);
