Question

I’ve got an array of strings in JS. All the members are actually numbers.
My controller has an int[] parameter.

I send it from jquery:

$.ajax({url: someUrl, data: {ids : JSON.stringify(id_array) }, ...)

and I receive it using

public ActionResult MyAction(int[] ids) { ...

The parameter doesn’t get filled, I’ve checked, the Request.Form["ids"] contains “[\"25\",\"26\"]", the string represention of the JSON array.
Is there any way to do this automatically without a lot of int parsing?

Answer 1

Have you tried not stringifying the array and letting mvc’s default model binding do the magic

$.ajax({url: someUrl, data: {ids : id_array }, ...)

I’m pretty sure .net MVC will see the array and see it is an array of ints and map it to your array of ints correctly
