I have this JQuery function:
function EditContactPost()
{
var urlEditPost = $("#hdnInfo").data("url_add_contact");
var test = $("#formEditContact").serialize();
alert(test);
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: urlEditPost,
data:{ marketingContactVM: test },
})
}
I'm doing an alert as you see and I'm watching that the test variable has the form serialized correctly with all the values. But when the controller action receives this request on server side marketingContactVM is always null. Why is this happening?
My controller action looks like this:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AddContact(MarketingVM marketingContactVM) //always null
{
some code...
}
Just in case this is my model class, it contains another list inside:
public class MarketingVM
{
public IEnumerable<string> States { get; set; }
public List<MarketingVM> MarketingList { get; set; }
public string Firstname { get; set; }
public string Lastname { get; set; }
public string Company { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
public string Zip { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string Phone { get; set; }
public string Fax { get; set; }
public string Mail{ get; set; }
public string URL { get; set; }
public bool IsTrue{ get; set; }
public int OtherId{ get; set; }
}
I've checked the Network tab in DevTools and this is the Request URL:http://localhost:56602/ControllerName/AddContact , that should be fine.
But the data is being sent as a FormData, like this:
marketingContactVM:Company=Microsoft+Company&Email=user10%40email.co&First=
Auto&Last=Mapper&Phone=98797988997&Fax=&URL=ww.auto.org&Adress=automapper+
street&City=auto+city&State=FL&Zip=33654&Country=USA&MarketingContacts%5B0%5D
.Name=1%2F03%2F2012+1%3A15+PM&MarketingContacts%5B0%5D.IsSelected=false
.. and like that. Maybe the way the data is being sent.. I think that the correct format should be:
marketingContactVM:
Company=Microsoft Company Email=user10#email.co First=Charles Last=Johnston Phone=98797988997 Fax=989898 URL=ww.auto.org Adress=North streetCity=Sacramento State=FL Zip=33654 Country=USA MarketingContacts.Name=Piotr
MarketingContacts.IsSelected=false
since you are serializing the form you dont need to add it in json object
data:{ marketingContactVM: test },
instead just pass the serialized object like this
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: urlEditPost,
data:test,
})
Try this:
$.ajax({
url: urlEditPost,
method: "POST",
data: { marketingContactVM: test },
dataType: "json"
});
Add the contentType property. This way AP.NET MVC will know to deserialize the request body as JSON.
function EditContactPost()
{
var urlEditPost = $("#hdnInfo").data("url_add_contact");
var test = $("#formEditContact").serialize();
alert(test);
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: urlEditPost,
data:{ marketingContactVM: test },
contentType: 'application/json'
})
}
PS: Also you should use data: JSON.stringify(test).

I have the following code and it works perfectly fine until I add the last property in the js object
JS:
var serializableFilter = {};
serializableFilter.aosType = filter.aos.type;
serializableFilter.aosText = filter.aos.text;
serializableFilter.industries = filter.industries.getCommaSeperatedIDs();
serializableFilter.servicingBanks = filter.servicingBanks.getCommaSeperatedIDs();
serializableFilter.category = filter.categories.categoryID;
serializableFilter.yearEstablishedFrom = filter.yearEstablished.from;
serializableFilter.yearEstablishedTo = filter.yearEstablished.to;
serializableFilter.staffMin = filter.nbStaff.min;
serializableFilter.staffMax = filter.nbStaff.max;
//serializableFilter.includeBranches = filter.includeBranches;
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: "POST",
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: JSON.stringify(serializableFilter),
success: function (result) {
console.log(result);
},
error: function () {
alert('error');
}
});
C#:
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IEnumerable<FdxxxMap>> GetC([FromBody] Filter data)
Model:
public class Filter
{
public string aosType { get; set; }
public string aosText { get; set; }
public string industries { get; set; }
public string servicingBanks { get; set; }
public int category { get; set; }
public int yearEstablishedFrom { get; set; }
public int yearEstablishedTo { get; set; }
public int staffMin { get; set; }
public int staffMax { get; set; }
public Boolean includeBranches { get; set; }
}
Whenever I add the last property of type boolean, the data model is passed as null
I wonder if the type of filter.includeBranches is really bool.
Why wouldn't you try this:
serializableFilter.includeBranches = filter.includeBranches==true;
I want to send a JSON by POST to a WCF service using JQuery. The issue is that I really don't know how to send correctly this JSON with an array of objects so I get an 400 Bad Request.
This is the JSON structure. As you can see, there're some fields and an array of files (name and its base64 body). The problem is the last part.
{
"guid": "",
"title": "d",
"description": "d",
"category": "19",
"email": "emai#email.com",
"priority": "1",
"type": "2",
"typeText": "Soli",
"categoryText": "CU",
"subCategoryText": "TMóvil",
"files": [
{
"nameFile": "stack.txt",
"fileContent": "data:text/plain;base64,Y2xvd24="
}
]
}
this is the code which sends the JSON:
$.ajax({
url: serviceUrl,
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(params),
async: true,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {.....
error: function(data)....
})
This is my interface on the server side:
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "NewRequest", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
NewRequestResponse NewRequest(NewRequestTO obj);
And this is the NewRequestTO class
[DataContract]
public class NewRequestTO
{
[DataMember]
public string guid { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string title { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string description { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string category { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string email { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string priority { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string type { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string typeText { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string categoryText { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string subCategoryText { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string files { get; set; }
}
The question is, how can I handle this information? What structure does I have to use?
Thanks in advance.
This:
"files": [
{
"nameFile": "stack.txt",
"fileContent": "data:text/plain;base64,Y2xvd24="
}
]
Will be equivalent to an IEnumerable of objects, where the object has a property nameFile and fileContent.
e.g.
[DataMember]
public FileData[] files { get; set; }
public class FileData {
[DataMember]
public string nameFile { get; set;}
[DataMember]
public string fileContent { get; set; }
}
I can't seem to figure out how to get my Javascript object to bind to my model that is (as far as I can tell) just like it as far as properties go.
First the Javascript Object creation:
var transDetail = new Object();
transDetail.TransactionDetailID = transdetailId;
transDetail.TransactionID = "";
transDetail.Year = new Date().getFullYear();
transDetail.Volume = "";
transDetail.UnitPrice = "";
transDetail.TransferableVolume = "";
transDetail.Credits = "";
transDetail.Shares = "";
transDetail.DollarsPerShare = "";
It is then passed to this javascript function
function loadTransDetailEditCreate(d, cb, title, transactionDetail) {
$.ajax(
{
url: '/TransactionDetail/LoadEditCreate',
data: JSON.stringify(transactionDetail),
dataType: 'json',
success: function (result) {
d.html(result);
CreateEditTransDetail(d, cb, title, transactionDetail);
d.dialog('open');
}
}
);
}
I've verified that the year property before transmission is filled with 2015.
Now the model definition
public partial class TransactionDetail
{
public int TransactionDetailID { get; set; }
public int TransactionID { get; set; }
public int Year { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> Volume { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> UnitPrice { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> TransferableVolume { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> Credits { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> Shares { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> DollarsPerShare { get; set; }
}
And the Action definition
public PartialViewResult LoadEditCreate(TransactionDetail transactionDetail)
When I break first thing into the action all non nullable ints are set to 0 and all nullable are set to null.
The problem is with sending the data: JSON...
You have 2 options:
use POST: (tried and works)
function loadTransDetailEditCreate(d, cb, title, transactionDetail) {
$.ajax(
{
type: 'post', //added
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", //added
url: '/TransactionDetail/LoadEditCreate',
data: JSON.stringify(transactionDetail),
dataType: 'json',
success: function (result) {
d.html(result);
CreateEditTransDetail(d, cb, title, transactionDetail);
d.dialog('open');
}
}
);
}
and decorate your controller with [HttpPost] attribute
[HttpPost]
public PartialViewResult LoadEditCreate(TransactionDetail transactionDetail)
If you want to use get - look here (didn't try, should work)
Until now, I've been successfully passing an array of strings to my controller via AJAX using JSON.stringify.
However, now I need to move that array into another object in order to pass more data to the AJAX call.
The following (and many other attempts) result in the jobRequest.Tests having no members when passed to the controller:
function executeTests(testsToRun) {
if (testsToRun.length > 0) {
var jobRequest = new Object;
jobRequest.SampleTitle = '#ViewBag.SampleTitle';
jobRequest.SampleLanguage = '#ViewBag.SampleLanguage';
jobRequest.Mode = '#ViewBag.SampleMode';
jobRequest.Tests = JSON.stringify(testsToRun);
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("ProcessJob", "ProcessJob")',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: JSON.stringify({ 'jobRequest': jobRequest }),
success: function (jobId) {
window.location.href = '#Url.Action("Index", "ProcessJob")' + '?id=' + jobId;
}
});
}
}
public class JobRequest
{
public string SampleTitle { get; set; }
public string SampleLanguage { get; set; }
public string Mode { get; set; }
public List<string> Tests = new List<string>();
}
public JsonResult ProcessJob(JobRequest jobRequest)
{
...
You can change the class JobRequest like this:
public class JobRequest
{
public string SampleTitle { get; set; }
public string SampleLanguage { get; set; }
public string Mode { get; set; }
public List<string> Tests { get; set; }
}
and remove the JSON.stringify in the array:
jobRequest.Tests = testsToRun;
I am trying to post a complex object which classes are defined at ASP.NET.
It is an array of "Site" which contains an array of "Variable" which contains an array of "Source".
It works perfectly if third level array (Sources) has 1 elem or less. Otherwise, it fails. (action controller is not called) Why?
It works perfectly with MVC 3. It fails with MVC 4. Why?
Ajax post call:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'FieldData/GetStiffKml',
data: JSON.stringify({ sitesForStiff: sites }),
datatype: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) { }
});
Action method:
public ContentResult GetStiffKml(Site [] sitesForStiff){
...
}
Class structure:
public class Site
{
public string SiteCode { get; set; }
public List<Variable> Variables { get; set; }
}
public class Variable
{
public int VariableID { get; set; }
public List<Source> Sources { get; set; }
}
public class Source
{
public int SourceID { get; set; }
public int ValueCount { get; set; }
}
