In this section, we're going to see how to send CSV data to a Web API method. We will reuse the CSV data we created in Chapter 7, Content Negotiation Using a Custom OutputFormatter:

This is a snippet of the test data we want to use:

48,Austin,Ward,49,[email protected],"8814 Gravesend Neck Road   ",Daly City,[phone]
2,Sierra,Smith,15,[email protected],"1199 Marshall   Street ",Whittier,[phone]
27,Victorina,Radcliff,40,[email protected],"2663 Sutton   Street ",Bloomington,[phone]
