URL-ROUTING for Asp.Net MVC Action parameter binding

Question

I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 for the first time. I want to call a controller action with a single parameter. this parameter is an object, not a simple type. Let's say: Controller = "Person", Action="Add", The single argument of this action is an object: "Person" = {Name: "aaa", Age: 24}

I implement the ModelBinder neaded for such a parameter (Person). I am calling this action from the client with the following instruction:

var person= {}; 
person.Name = "aaa"; person.Age = 24;
var **url = '/Person/Add/' + $.param(person)**;
**window.location = url;**

This is my first program in Asp.NET MVC. I thing this is the right way to write the 'url'. Could you please help me to create the variable 'url' (needed to call the server action) in the right format ?

Thinks

You mentioned ModelBinder in your question... Do you wish to add the Person Model, based on user input? Or am I'm not reading this correctly?\ — jacqijvv

Actually I added this code in the server part. But I am using in the client part an URL which is badly interpreted by the server. It seems the way of writining the URL. If I have a complex JSON object with a vector, is there a way to transform it to an URL that suits the Asp.NET MVC server router? THINKS — minchiya

You can pass that in the querystring like this

var thatUrl = "/Person/Add?Name=aaa&age=24";
thatUrl=encodeURI(thatUrl);  //Let's encode :)
window.location.href=thatUrl;

Assumuing you have HttpGET Action method which is looks like either

public ActionResult Add(string Name,string Age)
{
  //you will have the values in the argumens. Do something now
}

or

public ActionResult Add(Person model)
{
  //you will have the values in the object
  //check for model.Name & model.Age
}

assuming Name and Age are 2 properties of Person class

Is there a simple way to send a more complex object from the client objet to the server (more complex than the object Person = {Name: "aaa", Age: "24"}. Should I implement a javascript function to transform this object to the URL, or a function exsists yet to do this transformation ? Thinks

If you are making a jQuery ajax call, you can send the data as JSON

I would like to have a new URL adresse. So I would like to use some thing like window.location, not an ajax call. Thinks

I would like to have a new URL adresse. So I would like to use some thing like window.location, not an ajax call. In this case do you know please how to get a URL from a complex JSON object to use it with a window.location instruction? Or do you know how to do it in another way? I would like to move to a new URL (to be RESTfull). I don't think that using ajax will help me for that. Thinks

If it is rest, you can pass the items in your Content body ,If it is POST and pass it in parameters if it is GET. I think this one of yours is POST. so you can pass it in content body.
