I have been struggling to find a solution to this problem.
In my code, I am building up an array of an object;
var $marks = [];
var mark = function ( x, y, counter ){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.counter = counter;
}
$marks.push(new mark(1, 2, 0));
$marks.push(new mark(1, 2, 1));
$marks.push(new mark(1, 2, 2));
Now I want to post this data to a MVC controller, so I would think that the data type in the controller would be a List<Mark> Marks
or an array of Marks.
To post the data, I have tried;
var json = JSON.stringify($marks);
$.post('url', json).done(function(data){ /* handle */ });
OR
var json = { Marks: $marks };
$.post('url', json).done(function(data){ /* handle */ });
The second way, when looking at the data posted, looks like this
Marks[0][x]: 1
Marks[0][y]: 2
Marks[0][counter]: 0
Marks[0][x]: 1
Marks[0][y]: 2
Marks[0][counter]: 1
Marks[0][x]: 1
Marks[0][y]: 2
Marks[0][counter]: 2
But I am not sure how to translate this into a strongly typed object in the controller?
My Controller looks like this;
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult JsonSaveMarks(List<Mark> Marks){
// handle here
}
My Mark class looks like this;
public class Mark{
public string x { get; set; }
public string y { get; set; }
public string counter { get; set; }
}
I have read through other similar problems about creating a custom JsonFilterAttribute, or using the System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer class, but I cant get anything to work
Is there something obvious I am missing here? Have I got the DataType in the controller completely wrong? How can I convert this data posted into a strongly typed object?
Many Thanks
