POST json dictionary

Question

I\'m trying the following : A model with a dictionary inside send it on the first ajax request then take the result serialize it again and send it back to the controller.

Answer 1

For anyone who's coming upon this problem recently still, as long as you don't need your controller to specifically accept a dictionary, you can do the following:

HttpResponseMessage SomeMethod([FromBody] IEnumerable> values)
{
    Dictionary dictionary = values.ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x = x.Value);
}

Though it is a bit hacky.
