Question

I am trying to pass a javascript array to a method in my code behind. The problem is, I need to pass an int to the method along with the array. When I do:

$.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: webMethod,
                data: JSON.stringify({ myArray : passedArray }),

it works. But now i can’t seem to figure out how to pass the array to the code behind AND an int.
I need to pass this with the array:

"{'selectID' : '" + $("#ScarTattoos option:selected").val()

since my method paramters are:

public markItem getMarkNoID(int selectID, string[] person)
{
}

You can send a composite JSON object, like this:

{
    myArray: passedArray,
    selectID: $("#ScarTattoos option:selected").val()
}

Pass this to JSON.Stringify in your AJAX call and both desired objects will be sent to the server handler.

You’ll have to deserialize it manually though, unless you’re sending it to a web service, which usually does the deserialization itself based on parameter names (when in JSON mode).
