As you're using MVC3 - you should be able to take advantage of the built in JSON model binding.

Your code example has a couple of typos: contentType and dataType are lowercase...(they should have an uppercase "T")

jQuery ajax docs

After you POST up the correct contentType/dataType, MVC should automatically bind your object to the posted JSON.

You're going to need an action filter or similar to intercept the json from the post body.

Here's a starter

Provider Factory

but here is the article that sorted this for me On Haacked

It is good if you know the type you are deserialising into up front, but if you need polymorphism you'll end up using these ideas in an action filter.
