Question

I have a name value pair array in Javascript (just like form.SerializeArray()) which i want to pass to my controller and receive it as a list of dictionary objects.

is it possible ? If so how do i pass the object ?

Thanks

EDIT

Here is my JS object which i want to pass

var ct = $('#frmrpt').serializeArray();
url="MyController/Print";
var vhtml = "<iframe src=" + url + " style='width: 100%; height: 100%' ></iframe>";

$('#repo').html(vhtml);

And Here is how i want to receive it at the controller

public ActionResult Print( List<Dictionary<string, object>> prms)

I use something like below to deserialize json strings

public static T DeserializeJSON<T>(string jsonData)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(jsonData))
    {
        //jsonData = jsonData.Replace('"', ' ');
        var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        return serializer.Deserialize<T>(jsonData);
    }
    return default(T);
}

You can use json.net to deserialize your collection.

Controller:

[HttpPost]
[Authorize]
[JsonFilter(Param = "data", JsonDataType = typeof(Dictionary<string,string>))]
public ActionResult Add(Dictionary<string, string> data)
{

}

client:

$.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: url,
        async: true,
        data:  JSON.stringify(data),
        dataType: 'json',
        contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        success: function (data) {

        },
        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {

        }
    });
