How do I pass a Dictionary as a parameter to an ActionResult method from jQuery/Ajax?

Question

I\'m using jQuery to make an Ajax call using an Http Post in ASP.NET MVC. I would like to be able to pass a Dictionary of values.

The closest thing I could think of

Answer 1

This is what I tried. Saves a lot of work. Javascript:

  var dict = {};       
        dict["id"] = "200";
        dict["FirstName"] = "Chris";
        dict["DynamicItem1"] = "Some Value";
        dict["DynamicItem2"] = "Some Other Value";

        var theObject = {};
        theObject.dict = dict;
        $.post(URL, theObject, function (data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
            console.log("success");
        }, "json");

Action Method:

public ActionResult MethodName(DictionaryModel obj)
    {
       //Action method logic
    }

public class DictionaryModel
{
    public Dictionary dict { get; set; }

}
