I am using a Kendo grid with built-in editing. When I click the Refresh button, POST gets my controller method with this signature. The controller action gets in, so POST works.
[HttpPost]
public HttpResponseMessage SaveAccountAdmin(string jsonCompanyContacts)
However, the POST data in the update operation never appears - its always null.
update: {
url: "/Company/SaveAccountAdmin",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: {
jsonCompanyContacts: "John Doe"
}
},
Here is the complete data source code.
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource(
{
batch: false,
pageSize: 10,
transport: {
create: {
url: "/Company/SaveAccountAdmin",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json"
},
read: {
url: "/Company/ReadAccountAdmin"
},
update: {
url: "/Company/SaveAccountAdmin",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: {
jsonCompanyContacts: "John Doe"
}
},
//destroy: {},
parameterMap: function (data, type) {
return kendo.stringify(data);
}
},
this doesn't work either:
update: {
url: "/Company/SaveAccountAdmin",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
//data: { "jsonCompanyContacts": kendo.stringify({ jsonCompanyContacts: "John Doe" }) }
data: { "jsonCompanyContacts": "John Doe" }
},
//destroy: {},
parameterMap: function (data, type) {
return kendo.stringify(data);
}
BUT THIS WORK - WHY?
update: {
url: "/Company/SaveAccountAdmin",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
//data: { "jsonCompanyContacts": kendo.stringify({ jsonCompanyContacts: "John Doe" }) }
//data: { "jsonCompanyContacts": "John Doe" }
},
//destroy: {},
parameterMap: function (data, type) {
return kendo.stringify({ "jsonCompanyContacts": "John Doe" });
}
