I'm passing two string parameters from a jQuery ajax call to an MVC controller method, expecting a json response back. I can see that the parameters are populated on the client side but the matching parameters on the server side are null.
Here is the javascript:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "List/AddItem",
data: "{ ListID: '1', ItemName: 'test' }",
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) { alert("item added"); },
error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) { alert(xhr.responseText); }
});
Here is the controller method:
Function AddItem(ByVal ListID As String, ByVal ItemName As String) As JsonResult
'code removed for brevity
'ListID is nothing and ItemName is nothing upon arrival.
return nothing
End Function
What am I doing wrong?
This question is related to
javascript
jquery
asp.net-mvc
ajax
In my case, if I remove the the contentType
, I get the Internal Server Error.
This is what I got working after multiple attempts:
var request = $.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/ControllerName/ActionName' ,
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: JSON.stringify({ projId: 1, userId:1 }), //hard-coded value used for simplicity
dataType: 'json'
});
request.done(function(msg) {
alert(msg);
});
request.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("Request failed: " + jqXHR.responseStart +"-" + textStatus + "-" + errorThrown);
});
And this is the controller code:
public JsonResult ActionName(int projId, int userId)
{
var obj = new ClassName();
var result = obj.MethodName(projId, userId); // variable used for readability
return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Please note, the case of ASP.NET is little different, we have to apply JSON.stringify()
to the data as mentioned in the update of this answer.
If you have trouble with caching ajax you can turn it off:
$.ajaxSetup({cache: false});
var json = {"ListID" : "1", "ItemName":"test"};
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
data: username,
cache:false,
beforeSend: function(xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
},
success:function(response){
console.log("Success")
},
error : function(xhr, status, error) {
console.log("error")
}
);
You need add -> contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#btnTest').click( function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/Login/Test",
data: { ListID: '1', ItemName: 'test' },
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function(response) { alert(response); },
error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) { alert(xhr.responseText); }
});
});
});
</script>
I tried:
<input id="btnTest" type="button" value="button" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#btnTest').click( function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/Login/Test",
data: { ListID: '1', ItemName: 'test' },
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) { alert(response); },
error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) { alert(xhr.responseText); }
});
});
});
</script>
and C#:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Test(string ListID, string ItemName)
{
return Content(ListID + " " + ItemName);
}
It worked. Remove contentType
and set data
without double quotes.
