jQuery ajax passing null to controller in ASP .NET MVC

I am trying to send stringified array from view with $.ajax but I am constantly getting null in controller.
This is controller function:
[HttpPost]
public void SaveColumnsToDb(string data)
{
var a = data;
}
Console outputs:
str: (2) ['SerialNumber', 'MeasurementUnit']
JSON str: ["SerialNumber","MeasurementUnit"]
Whole function:
$("#popup-saveBtn").click(function () {
var columns = [];
var parentElement = document.getElementById("tableColumns");
var childElements = parentElement.querySelectorAll("input[type=checkbox]");
// If checkbox is checked, push value to array
for (i = 0; i < childElements.length; i++) {
if (childElements[i].checked) {
columns.push(childElements[i].value);
}
}
/*var strColumns = columns.join(";");*/
console.log("str: ", columns);
console.log("JSON str: ", JSON.stringify(columns));
// Send data to AjaxSelectController
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("SaveColumnsToDb", "AjaxSelect", new { area = string.Empty })',
type: 'POST',
data: JSON.stringify(columns),
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
});
});

as a matter of fact, since you are using contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8', you are trying to send a json inside of the request body, so use this syntax
[HttpPost]
public void SaveColumnsToDb([FromBody] string[] data)

Changed the parameter name.
When we use an ajax request then we have to pass value in data and In the URL part, we have to give only the action name and controller name.
[HttpPost]
public void SaveColumnsToDb(string dataResponse)
{
var a = dataResponse;
}
$("#popup-saveBtn").click(function () {
var columns = [];
var parentElement = document.getElementById("tableColumns");
var childElements = parentElement.querySelectorAll("input[type=checkbox]");
// If checkbox is checked, push value to array
for (i = 0; i < childElements.length; i++) {
if (childElements[i].checked) {
columns.push(childElements[i].value);
}
}
/*var strColumns = columns.join(";");*/
console.log("str: ", columns);
console.log("JSON str: ", JSON.stringify(columns));
// Send data to AjaxSelectController
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("SaveColumnsToDb", "AjaxSelect")',
type: 'POST',
data: { dataResponse: JSON.stringify(columns)},
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
});
});

I managed to make it work.
Changed data property in $.ajax().
data: JSON.stringify({ data: strColumns })
I am sending only csv string, e.g. "abc;abc;abc"
Controller is same.

How to send multiple data in single FormData object in Ajax?

My application has multiple data like Text-box value, label value, Drop-Down value,File Data and send same data at server side and store in database
To achieve this, i have used below method but now i want to use Formdata and append each value and send it to server side
How to achieve this scenario using Formdata with specific object type.
Below is the code
var selectedText = $('#Commentinput').text();
$('#actioncomments').text(selectedText);
var debitEntityValue = $('#DrAccount option:selected').text();
var creditEntityValue = $('#CrAccount option:selected').text();
var amount = $("#Amountinput").val();
var paymentActionReason = $('#action').text();
var paymentCommentReason = $('#Commentinput').val();
var prepayAccountId =#Model.prepaidBranchList.PrepaidID;
var transactionDate = '#DateTime.Today';
var transactionExtensions = "1";
var fileBase64Data = $("#fileUpload").text();
if ($('#Commentinput').val() == "") {
paymentCommentReason = "No Comment";
}
else {
paymentCommentReason = $('#Commentinput').val();
}
var adjustmentTransactioninfo =
{
PaymentReasonMasterId: paymentReasonMasterId,
DebitEntityValue: debitEntityValue,
CreditEntityValue: creditEntityValue,
Amount: amount,
PaymentActionReason: paymentActionReason,
PaymentCommentReason: paymentCommentReason,
PrepayAccountId: prepayAccountId,
TransactionDate: transactionDate,
TransactionExtensions: transactionExtensions
};
var data = JSON.stringify({
'adjustmentTransactioninfo': adjustmentTransactioninfo,
'fileData': 0
});
var url = "#Html.Raw(Url.Action("AdjustmentTransaction",
"PrepaidActivity"))";
url += '?branchCode=' + '#Model.prepaidBranchList.IASBranchCode'
$.ajax({
url: url,
traditional: true,
data: data,
enctype:"multipart/form-data",
contentType: "application/json charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
type: 'POST',
success: function (data) {
$("#ajaxLoader").show();
if (data != null) {
var ProductActionID = data.SuccessMessage.split(':');
uploadFile.append('ProductActionID' , ProductActionID[1]);
FileUpload(uploadFile);
var dialog = document.querySelector('#Finaldialog');
var ConfirmationScreen = $("<p></p>").text(data.SuccessMessage);
$("#finalmdl-dialog").append(ConfirmationScreen);
dialog.showModal();
dialog.querySelector('button:not([disabled])').addEventListener('click', function() {
dialog.close();
location.reload();
});
}
}
});`
Controller code
public JsonResult AdjustmentTransaction(TraxAdjustmentTransactionInfo adjustmentTransactioninfo, string fileData, string branchCode)
{
PrepaidAdminService.PrepaidAdminDashBoardServiceClient _PrepaidAdminService = new PrepaidAdminService.PrepaidAdminDashBoardServiceClient();
TraxAdjustmentTransactionResult result;
adjustmentTransactioninfo.ProductActionMasterId = Convert.ToInt16(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProductActionMasterId"]);
adjustmentTransactioninfo.ProductCode = Convert.ToString(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProductCode"]);
adjustmentTransactioninfo.DebitEntityMasterId = TraxEntityType.GPLedgerAccount;
adjustmentTransactioninfo.CreditEntityMasterId = TraxEntityType.GPLedgerAccount;
adjustmentTransactioninfo.UserId = Utility.UserID;
adjustmentTransactioninfo.RetailerId = _PrepaidAdminService.GetBranchRetailerId(branchCode);

use serializeArray and can be add the additional data:
var data = $('form').serializeArray();
data.push({name: 'Amit', value: 'love'});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "url",
data: data,
success: function(data) {
// do what ever you want with the server response
},
error: function() {
alert('error handing here');
}
});

Remove the #Html.Raw(Url.Action()), contentType and JSON.stringify() and leave that to the ModelBinder. Change your ajax to this:
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("AdjustmentTransaction", "PrepaidActivity")',
traditional: true,
data: {
adjustmentTransactioninfo: adjustmentTransactioninfo,
fileData: "0",
branchCode: '#Model.prepaidBranchList.IASBranchCode'
},
enctype: "multipart/form-data",
type: 'POST',
success: function (data) {
alert("success");
}
});

var params = { param1: value, param2: value2}
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
url: '../aspxPage.aspx/methodName',
data: JSON.stringify(params),
datatype: 'json',
success: function (data) {
var MethodReturnValue = data.d
},
error: function (xmlhttprequest, textstatus, errorthrown) {
alert(" conection to the server failed ");
}
});
// Param1 and param2 name should be same as method argument

JSON Invalide primitive

I want to passing my number of seat to TryJSIN.aspx in function test().
but I have error, when I use type 'GET' then I have error
"Invalid JSON primitive: 1-9."
1-9 is noSeat value.
but when I change to 'POST' I have error
An attempt was made to call the method 'test' using a POST request, which is not allowed.
please check my following code. This is when I use get type
var sid = jQuery(this).attr('id');
$.ajax({
url: "TryJSON.aspx/test",
type: "GET",
data: {noSeat: sid},
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (response) {
// var arr = JSON.parse(response.d);
console.log(arr);
},
error: function () {
alert("sorry, there was a problem!");
console.log("error");
},
complete: function () {
console.log("completed");
}
});
and this following ajax when I use POST type
var sid = jQuery(this).attr('id');
$.ajax({
url: "TryJSON.aspx/test",
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify({'noSeat': sid}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (response) {
// var arr = JSON.parse(response.d);
console.log(arr);
},
error: function () {
alert("sorry, there was a problem!");
console.log("error");
},
complete: function () {
console.log("completed");
}
});
and this is my c# code
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)]
public static string test(string noSeat)
{
return noSeat;
}
Please help me. I'm pretty new in c# ajax and jQuery. so I need a lot of help
UPDATE:
I Edit my code after first comment. but it show the same.
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)]
public static string test(string noSeat)
{
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
return serializer.Serialize(noSeat).ToString();
}

When I use POST, I not allowed to use [ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)] because it for GET type. then the data must use JSON.stringify when I use contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" because it thinks that I send JSON whereas I send string data. so I need to convert it to JSON first.
var sid = jQuery(this).attr('id');
//console.log(sid);
$.ajax({
url: "TryJSON.aspx/test",
type: "post",
data: JSON.stringify({ 'noSeat': sid }),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (response) {
var arr = JSON.parse(response.d);
objData = new Array();
objData = arr;
for (i = 0; i < objData.length; i++)
{
alert(objData[i].noBooking +" "+ objData[i].noSeat);
}
},
error: function () {
alert("sorry, there was a problem!");
console.log("error");
},
complete: function () {
console.log("completed");
}
this is how to solve on C#
[WebMethod]
// [ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)]
public static string test(string noSeat)
{
SqlConnection conn = DBConnection.getConnection();
SqlCommand cmd;
SqlDataReader dr;
conn.Open();
string sql = "Select noBooking,noSeat FROM booking WHERE noSeat = '" + noSeat +"' AND statusBooked = 1";
cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
List<booking> BookList = new List<booking>();
while (dr.Read())
{
booking bookClass = new booking();
bookClass.noBooking =(int)dr[0];
bookClass.noSeat = dr[1].ToString();
BookList.Add(bookClass);
}
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
return serializer.Serialize(BookList).ToString();
}

Pass paramater to webservice on ajax

I have a simple web service with one argument :
public static string LoadComboNews(string id)
{
string strJSON = "";
DataRowCollection people = Util.SelectData("Select * from News where person = "+ id +" Order by NewsId desc ");
if (people != null && people.Count > 0)
{
//temp = new MyTable[people.Count];
string[][] jagArray = new string[people.Count][];
for (int i = 0; i < people.Count; i++)
{
jagArray[i] = new string[] { people[i]["NewsID"].ToString(), people[i]["Title"].ToString() };
}
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
strJSON = js.Serialize(jagArray);
}
return strJSON;
}
on javascript I am trying to call it with parameter :
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "webcenter.aspx/LoadComboNews",
data: "{'id':usrid}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (msg) {
// Replace the div's content with the page method's return.
combonews = eval(msg.d);
}
});
UPDATE:
usrid is dynamic
Am I doing something wrong here?

data you are sending is invalid "{'id':usrid}"
this not a valid json
probably what you wanna do is assuming usrid is a variable
"{\"id\":"+usrid+"}"
with it shoudnt you be executing this command
Select * from News where person = '"+ id +"' Order by NewsId desc
Considering id is a string
also try this
combonews = JSON.stringify(msg);

Add WebMethod to the method
[WebMethod]
public static string LoadComboNews(string id)
And try this format
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "webcenter.aspx/LoadComboNews",
data: '{"id":"usrid"}',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (msg) {
// Replace the div's content with the page method's return.
alert(msg.d);
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(textStatus, errorThrown);
alert(textStatus + " " + errorThrown);
}
});
Or
data: '{"id":"' + usrid + '"}',

string does not pass to controller

i am trying to post my string called 'selected' trough my $.ajax call but the controller(selected=null) receives a null value? selected has a value ({'selected':0100}) according to fiddler?
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(string selected)
{
return Json(new {value = "this is a test"});
}
$(document).ready(
$("#btnSave").click(
function () {
var checkboxesselected = "0100";
$.ajax({ type: 'POST',
url: "/Home/Index",
datatype: 'json',
data: "{'selected':" + checkboxesselected + "}"
});
}
)

The problem is you're sending the data to jQuery as a string literal as opposed to an object. Your line with the data parameters should be data: {selected: checkboxesselected }

You're missing the quotes around "checkboxesselected "
$(document).ready(
$("#btnSave").click(
function () {
var checkboxesselected = "0100";
$.ajax({ type: 'POST',
url: "/Home/Index",
datatype: 'json',
data: "{ 'selected' : '" + checkboxesselected + "'}"
});
}
)

try:
var val = { selected: checkboxesselected };
and then:
...
datatype: 'json',
data: val
...
