body: <p>How can I view the request body in ASP.NET Web API from Visual Studio? In ASP.NET MVC, you can use QuickWatch to inspect the <code>Request</code> object and view the content of the body and any posted form data. From what I read, ASP.NET Web API doesn't allow you to read the body more than once. </p>
  
  <p>This is very annoying to deal with when trying to figure out why a specific value wasn't bound correctly. Is there a quick way to do this without setting up tracing/logging?</p>
