Web API methods not getting profile data

• 
  Hi,
  
  Is it because the application you are profiling is the consumer of the webservice, and the web methods are running in a WCF service hosted in a webserver? In that case, you can profile the webservice to see these results.

  I have narrowd down that it has to do with passing complex objects as parameters to web api methods.
  
  I have a Web API Controller with 4 methods. The first two
  Post(int id) and Get(int id) get profile data.
  The next two do not get profile data.
  Get(MyObject inputObject)
  Post(MyObject inputObject)
  
  I start the Ants profile session using IIS original port and I have the Tools>Advanced Options>"Simplify very complex stack traces" and Avoid Profiling extremely trivial Method" unchecked.
  
  IE gets launched to my homepage controllers.
  Then I execute calls in fiddler and get 200 responses for all 4 calls with approrpiate response bodies.
  I then go back to ANTS and stop the profile. In the methods view I need to uncheck the "Hide insignificant methods" checkbox as these apis are very simple.
  I can see the data for api for the simple Post(int id) and Get(int id) but not the other two.
  
  Here is the controller class.

  public class TestComplexInputController : ApiController
      {
          public int Post(int id)
          {
              return id;
          }
          public int Get(int id)
          {
              return id;
          }
  
          public int Get(MyObject inputObject)
          {
              return inputObject.number;
          }
          public int Post(MyObject inputObject)
          {
              return inputObject.number;
          }
  
          public class MyObject
          {
              public int number;
          }
      }
  

  
  Here are the calls I make in fiddler

  ==========================================================
  
  GET http://mytest.mysite.com/PerformanceTraining/api/TestComplexInput/234 HTTP/1.1
  User-Agent: Fiddler

  Brian, I am definately profiling the correct process as I see other methods in the same file get profiling data.
