Could not sign Transaction with SignRawTransactionWithKey through the RPC (RegTest)

Question

I am able to sign following transaction with Complete=true result, but when trying to decode signed transaction, it returns error "TX decode failed" both from DecodeRawTransaction and SendRawTransaction RPC calls.

signed_Tx = "020000000103d3049e968d8b3e3e967aa90b45d3f64b5e2117ee9610b0c9d5a96081a24e3e000000004847304402201921a1acf601acb0f9e6297a55eeb853c2dd6cd246ea05f060eaa4d327d4124a02206e08e2c90b92113a64d6de1447f81bf19703f88bffeacc6d2cc4bf0e21ed8ac501ffffffff0200e1f5050000000017a9140796253e13d88cda530bf88b07eb1672952a3a7887608a0e24010000001976a914957b73da3bf34440ab2f78937a7a420835255a0988ac00000000"

                },

    RPCResultPrime<string> rawResult = await disp.CreateRawTransactionAsync(txIn, txOut);

    if (rawResult.Error == null)
    {
        string TxRaw = rawResult.Result;

        Dictionary<string, object> param = new Dictionary<string, object>()
                {
                    {"hexstring", TxRaw },

                };

        string signedTx = await disp.SignTransactionAsync(param);

        //at this point transaction signed successfully but could not be Decoded in the next step

        string decode = await disp.DecodeRawTransactionAsync(signedTx);

        string jsonSend = await disp.SendRawTransactionAsync(signedTx);

        Debugger.Break();
    }

}

Answer 1

You are passing the parameter with signedTx incorrectly. A JSON-RPC param key must have a value that is either an array or an object. You are passing in a string. Instead you should pass in the parameter similarly to how you did for the signrawtransactionwithkey call.

You should have something like this:

     Dictionary<string, object> param = new Dictionary<string, object>()
            {
                {"hexstring", signedTx }
            };

    string decode = await disp.DecodeRawTransactionAsync(param);

The same should be done for sendrawtransaction.

Answer 2

Seems to be able to be decoded:
