POAjax and MVC posting class object to controller

Body
copied!<p>My Problem:</p> <p>First, I have a search form, where the user inputs criteria and the request is sent to the proper controllers index action. The user input is passed in as model type I create just for holding the data. I return a model into the view, then right before the view is rendered I get the View Model data using jquery, and I have a knockout.js/ajax post the 'data' to a jsonresult action, where search filtering happens then I update the view using the json data and knockouts data-bindings.</p> <p>My jsonresult action takes a string sortByText(works) for table sorting and a ViewModel. But when the ajax call occurs my jsonresult action does not recognize the values the data object passed.</p> <p>How can I pass 'SearchFormModel' correctly into the JSONresult action?</p> <p>AJAX</p> <p>'self.options.formModel' holds my data sent by the Index action; while debugging I see the that it has the data but it does not get posted to the jsonresult action in the next step, only the sortByText. Can ajax 'data:' only recognize strings and int?</p> <pre><code> $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: Url, data: { sortByText: selectedText, formModel: self.options.formModel }, dataType: "json" })....etc </code></pre> <p>Controller</p> <pre><code> [HttpGet] public ActionResult Index(string sortByText, SearchFormModel formModel) { var model = new SearchViewModel(); model.FormModel = formModel; return View(model); } [HttpPost] public JsonResult GetData(string sortByText, SearchFormModel formModel) { //return jsonData } </code></pre>
