Question

I am using MVC 1.0.

I am using JSON.Stringify() from jquery plugin Json2.js to serialize the javascript objects to send to MVC action method.

I am always getting null in the action method parameters. Am I missing something.

Does this stringify works only in MVC 3.0?? Is it possible to pass javascript objects to action methods in MVC 1.0?

Following blog I referred:

Thanks

You can do something like that :

public void ActionMethod(string objectJson)
{
    TheClass theObject = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<TheClass>(objectJson);

}  

and on your page :

$.ajax({ url: "ActionMethod",
        data: { objectJson: JSON.stringify(theObject) }
    });

In MVC 2 (maybe it works in MVC 1) , if your class is not too complicated you can even do that :

public void ActionMethod(TheClass theObject)
{
}  

+

$.ajax({ url: "ActionMethod",
    data: theObjectInJson
});

Of course the fields in theObjectInJson must match TheClass
