How to post json object with multiple values to the Controller from Ajax - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have this Ajax post working for a single value but I need it to work with multiple values. What am I missing?
I have already tried to make the public class 'Value' a List AND Guid[]. I have tried to adjust the method parameter to List AND Value[]. Not sure what else to try.
Class:
public class Value
{
public Guid TimeId { get; set; }
}
Method:
public IActionResult ApproveAllTimesheets([FromBody]Value information)
View JS:
function SubAll() {
var selectedValues = $('#timesheet').DataTable().column(0).checkboxes.selected().toArray();
var instructions = {};
for (var TimeId in selectedValues) {
instructions[TimeId] = { TimeId: selectedValues[TimeId] };
}
var inst = JSON.stringify(instructions);
$.ajax({
url: "/Admin/ApproveAllTimesheets",
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
data: inst,
success: function (result) {
alert(result);
},
error: function (xhr, textStatus) {
if (xhr.status == 401) { alert("Session Expired!"); window.location = "/Account"; }
else {
alert('Content load failed!', "info");
}
}
});
};
If I send through this object it works but I need to send through multiple values like my ajax post will do.
var instructions = { TimeId: "13246578-1234-7894-4562-456789123456" };
UPDATE #1
I found a structure that works for me by extending the class, now I just need to figure out how to create the correct object and array combination.
New Classes:
public class ValueContainer
{
public List<Value> MasterIds { get; set; }
}
public class Value
{
public Guid TimeId { get; set; }
}
Method:
public IActionResult ApproveAllTimesheets([FromBody]ValueContainer information)
Structure I need now (this works hard coded):
var jsonObject = {
"MasterIds": [{ TimeId: "13246578-1234-7894-4562-456789123450" }, { TimeId: "13246578-1234-7894-4562-456789123451" }, { TimeId: "13246578-1234-7894-4562-456789123452" }]
};
I'm still new to this stuff but what I see is that jsonObject is an object with a Key 'MasterIds' and the corresponding values are an array of objects with the key 'TimeId'...is this a correct evaluation?...and how to create it in code please?

Answer 1

You neec to create an array of objects and then set it in the container object :
var instructions = []; // an array
for (var i = 0; i < selectedValues.length; i++) {
instructions.push({ TimeId: selectedValues[i] };
}
var Value = {TimeId: instructions}; // creating object with property TimeId as array of guid
var inst = JSON.stringify(Value);
.......
....... your ajax code
and your class property should also be of type array:
public Guid[] TimeId { get; set; }
