in asp.net mvc, how can I pass an array of integers as a parameter

Question

i have a controller function that previously had integers as each section in the URL (which i setup in the routing file) but now one of the parameters needs to be an array o

Answer 1

The following should do the job:

var scope = 'Test';
var scopeId = [1, 2, 3];

$.ajax({
    url: '@Url.Action("Refresh", "Calendar")',
    type: 'POST',
    data: { scope: scope, scopeId: scopeId },
    traditional: true,
    success: function(result) {
        // ...
    }
});

and if you are using ASP.NET MVC 3 you could also send the request as a JSON object:

$.ajax({
    url: '@Url.Action("Refresh", "Calendar")',
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    data: JSON.stringify({ scope: scope, scopeId: scopeId }),
    success: function(result) {
        // ...
    }
});

Answer 2

Here is an example from jquery's API for $.post()

Example: pass arrays of data to the server (while still ignoring the return results).

$.post("test.php", { 'choices[]': ["Jon", "Susan"] }, function() { //do stuff });
