Working with identifiers as arrays and sending to MVC controller

Question

I have some identifiers on my page. Named id[0], id[1] all the way to id[20] and sometimes more. I need to send these to an MVC controller and I would like to package them up as one object and unpack at the controller. Can someone tell me if this is possible, my knowledge of javascript is just basic so I'd really appreciate advice on which way to go. For example can I use JSON or serialize. btw I'm using jQuery.

You can send your data in JSON.

Yeah but how do I wrap it up? I want to try and do it by looping as all my id's have names that have an index number such as id[index]. Thanks – JudyJ Apr 22 '11 at 10:08

If you already have the id array (id[0], id1 , ... id[20]) you can convert it to JSON string with respect of JSON.stringify(id) where JSON.stringify function defined in the json2.js.

On the server side you can use for example Deserialize method of the JavaScriptSerializer to convert the data to List<T> where T is type of id[i] (for example string).

How to send data with respect of jQuery.ajax you already know from another answer.
