I need the "WinForm" application for correspondence in viber.
"Webhook" is planned to receive data (events) from viber, then the data will be used in the application "WinForm".
 
I did:
  1. created the project "ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework)";
  2. chose a template - "Empty" + "MVC" + "API";
  3. added controller "Controller MVC 5 - empty". Controller name "HookController";
  4. I run the application "Postman";
  5. "Postman". I set the request "POST";
  6. "Postman". I set the link http://localhost:44836/Hook;
  7. "Postman". Click "SEND";
  8. The result, see the picture "- = RESULT = -";
If I understand the theory correctly, then after performing the "Postman" action. I click "SEND", the ViberProcess (HttpContext context) method should be executed in the HookController.cscontroller and the code should stop at the breakpoint.
 
This is not happening.
