POPosting complex types using Jquery to Asp.Net MVC
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to make a rest service that receives complex types from a Jquery $.ajax post but I cannot seem to convince mvc to hydrate my complex objects in the controller. </p> <p>The following is some of my code:</p> <p>Controller:</p> <pre><code>[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult ChargeUser(TransactionInfo transactionInfo, CardInfo cardInfo) { /// both transactionInfo and cardInfo are un-populated. } </code></pre> <p>DTOs:</p> <pre><code>[Serializable] public class CardInfo : ICardInfo { public string CCNumber { get; set; } public int ExpirationMonth { get; set; } public int ExpirationYear { get; set; } public string CardVerificationValue { get; set; } } [Serializable] public class TransactionInfo : ITransactionInfo { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public string Address1 { get; set; } public string Address2 { get; set; } public string City { get; set; } public string Region { get; set; } public string Country { get; set; } public string PostalCode { get; set; } public string Currency { get; set; } public decimal Amount { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Sample JSON that I am POSTing, looks like this:</p> <pre><code>"{"transactionInfo":{"FirstName":"Hal","LastName":"Lesesne","Address1":"504 Anytown Drive","Address2":"Sample Address 2","City":"Boone","Region":"NC","Country":"US","PostalCode":"28607","Currency":"USD","Amount":"1.5"},"cardInfo":{"CCNumber":"4222 2222 2222 2222","ExpirationMonth":"1","ExpirationYear":"2009","CardVerificationValue":"333"}}" </code></pre> <p>Using a jquery call like this:</p> <pre><code>function jQueryPost(data, action, onSuccess, onFailure) { $.ajax({ url: action, type: 'POST', data: data, dataType: 'json', contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", error: onFailure, success: onSuccess }); } </code></pre> <p>I hit the break point when debugging, but neither transactionInfo nor cardInfo are populated and have only default values for stings (null) and numerics (0).</p> <p>I assume that I am doing something wrong with my json formatting, but simply cannot figure it out. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Best regards and thank you for your time.</p> <p>Hal</p>
