Answer 1

Other resource suggest removing the contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8', from the AJAX call:

  $.ajax({ 
            url: "ericHandler.ashx", 
            data: myData, 
            dataType: 'json', 
            type: 'POST', 
            success: function (data) { alert("DIDit = " + data.eric); }, 
            error: function (data, status, jqXHR) { alert("FAILED:" + status); } 
        }); 

Read the values on the server side:

string myPar = context.Request.Form["par"]; 

You can also try:

string json = new StreamReader(context.Request.InputStream).ReadToEnd();
