I have a form which posts these values:

survey[0].Key 75

survey[0].Value 4

survey[1].Key 76

I’m trying to use a default model binder to map it onto Dictionary type:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CompleteSurvey(Dictionary<int, int> answers)

but I get InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.

Why??

    For some strange reason when I removed “survey” and left iteration by itself (i.e. [0].Key) binding works fine.

    I was basing my knowledge on this article:
    http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ASPNETWireFormatForModelBindingToArraysListsCollectionsDictionaries.aspx
    which appears to be wrong then??? or does it refer to the previous versions of MVC???
