[asp.net-mvc] Pass Model To Controller using Jquery/Ajax

I am trying to pass my model to a controller using JQuery/Ajax, I'm not sure how to do this correctly. So far I have tried using Url.Action but the model is blank.

Note: none of the duplicate threads on stackoverflow seem to address using ASP.NET 5 MVC 6.

View:

$("#inpDateCompleted").change(function () {
        var url = '@(Url.Action("IndexPartial", "DashBoard", Model, null))';
        $("#DailyInvoiceItems").load(url);
});

Controller:

 [HttpGet]
 public PartialViewResult IndexPartial(DashBoardViewModel m)
 {
      // Do stuff with my model
      return PartialView("_IndexPartial");
 }

//C# class

public class DashBoardViewModel 
{
    public int Id { get; set;} 
    public decimal TotalSales { get; set;} 
    public string Url { get; set;} 
     public string MyDate{ get; set;} 
}

//JavaScript file
//Create dashboard.js file
$(document).ready(function () {

    // See the html on the View below
    $('.dashboardUrl').on('click', function(){
        var url = $(this).attr("href"); 
    });

    $("#inpDateCompleted").change(function () {   

        // Construct your view model to send to the controller
        // Pass viewModel to ajax function 

        // Date
        var myDate = $('.myDate').val();

        // IF YOU USE @Html.EditorFor(), the myDate is as below
        var myDate = $('#MyDate').val();
        var viewModel = { Id : 1, TotalSales: 50, Url: url, MyDate: myDate };


        $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
            dataType: 'json',
            cache: false,
            url: '/Dashboard/IndexPartial',
            data: viewModel ,
            success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
                //Do Stuff 
                $("#DailyInvoiceItems").html(data.Id);
            },
            error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                //Do Stuff or Nothing
            }
        });

    });
});

//ASP.NET 5 MVC 6 Controller
public class DashboardController {

    [HttpGet]
    public IActionResult IndexPartial(DashBoardViewModel viewModel )
    {
        // Do stuff with my model
        var model = new DashBoardViewModel {  Id = 23 /* Some more results here*/ };
        return Json(model);
    }
}

// MVC View 
// Include jQuerylibrary
// Include dashboard.js 
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-2.1.3.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/dashboard.js"></script>
// If you want to capture your URL dynamically 

<div>
    <a class="dashboardUrl" href ="@Url.Action("IndexPartial","Dashboard")"> LinkText </a>
</div>
<div>
    <input class="myDate" type="text"/>
//OR
   @Html.EditorFor(model => model.MyDate) 
</div>

As suggested in other answers it's probably easiest to "POST" the form data to the controller. If you need to pass an entire Model/Form you can easily do this with serialize() e.g.

$('#myform').on('submit', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();

    var formData = $(this).serialize();

    $.post('/student/update', formData, function(response){
         //Do something with response
    });
});

So your controller could have a view model as the param e.g.

 [HttpPost]
 public JsonResult Update(StudentViewModel studentViewModel)
 {}

Alternatively if you just want to post some specific values you can do:

$('#myform').on('submit', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();

    var studentId = $(this).find('#Student_StudentId');
    var isActive = $(this).find('#Student_IsActive');

    $.post('/my/url', {studentId : studentId, isActive : isActive}, function(response){
         //Do something with response
    });
});

With a controller like:

     [HttpPost]
     public JsonResult Update(int studentId, bool isActive)
     {}

Use the following JS:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#btnsubmit").click(function () {

             $.ajax({
                 type: "POST",
                 url: '/Plan/PlanManage',     //your action
                 data: $('#PlanForm').serialize(),   //your form name.it takes all the values of model               
                 dataType: 'json',
                 success: function (result) {
                     console.log(result);
                 }
             })
        return false;
    });
});

and the following code on your controller:

[HttpPost]
public string PlanManage(Plan objplan)  //model plan
{
}
