How to pass Byte Array as a class property to OData function in ASP.NET Web API?

I am using OData V4 with ASP.NET Web API. After doing a lot of research and experiments I am still not able to pass the Byte array (byte[]) as a class model property. I am not sure that how the .Net Framework is receiving it as a string. But when I configure the controller action to receive only the Byte array (byte[]) parameter then it receives the correct data. It does not receive it as a class property.

Here is my class model.

public class TempFileModel
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public byte[] Content { get; set; }
}

Here is the OData model configuration:

public class TransientFileConfiguration : IModelConfiguration
{
    public void Apply(ODataModelBuilder builder, ApiVersion apiVersion, string routePrefix)
    {
        builder.EntitySet<TransientFileModel>("TransientFiles");
        builder.EntityType<TransientFileModel>().HasKey(e => e.Key);

        builder.Action("UploadFile")
            .Returns<List<string>>()
            .CollectionParameter<TempFileModel>("file");
    }
}

My Controller action for this:

[HttpPost]
[ODataRoute("UploadFile")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> UploadFile(ODataActionParameters parameters)
{
    var paramValue = parameters["file"];

    return Ok(new List<string>());
}

The error I get every time: Error Message: "Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'System.Byte[]'."

Here are few links that I have searched for unbound action using OData API and working with this issue:
