Passing Multiple Checkbox value using jquery ajax - asp.net-mvc

I am displaying multiple records on my ASP.NET MVC 4 view where each record has a checkbox. I want the user to be able to select multiple records (by checking checkboxes) and click Delete button in order to delete them. So far I can call the Delete Action method via jquery ajax but the problem is my action method does not seem to be accepting the passed array.
Here is my jquery code:
$(function () {
$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
$("#btnDelete").click(function () {
$("#ServicesForm").submit();
});
$("#ServicesForm").submit(function () {
var servicesCheckboxes = new Array();
$("input:checked").each(function () {
//console.log($(this).val()); //works fine
servicesCheckboxes.push($(this).val());
});
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: this.method,
data: servicesCheckboxes,
success: function (result) {
if (result.success) {
}
else {
}
}
});
return false;
});
});
and here is my action method:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult DeleteServices(int[] deleteservice)
{
if (deleteservice != null)
{
//no hit
}
}
What am I missing?
Edit
I also tried console.log(servicesCheckboxes); before $.ajax() which outputs ["3", "4"] but still get null when I pass data as specified in answer below data: { deleteservice: servicesCheckboxes }. Even I tried data: [1,2] but still action method shows null for deleteservice in action method.

Just pass the array to your action:
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: this.method,
dataType: "json"
data: { deleteservice: servicesCheckboxes }, // using the parameter name
success: function (result) {
if (result.success) {
}
else {
}
}
});
Or, just use the serialize() jquery method to serialize all fields inside your form:
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: this.method,
dataType: "json"
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function (result) {
if (result.success) {
}
else {
}
}
});
In your controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult DeleteServices(int[] deleteservice)
{
bool deleted = false;
if (deleteservice != null)
{
// process delete
deleted = true;
}
return Json(new { success = deleted });
}

Finally got it working. "MVC detects what type of data it receive by contentType" as explained here so I made the following changes to $.ajax()
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: this.method,
dataType: "json"
//data: { deleteservice: servicesCheckboxes }, // using the parameter name
data: JSON.stringify({ deleteservice: servicesCheckboxes }),
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
success: function (result) {
if (result.success) {
}
else {
}
}
});

MVC Parallel transactions and session objects

I can't get the session values when I start a different operation while an operation is in progress like below;
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
cache: false,
url: '/Home/StartOperation',
dataType: 'json',
data: { customerId: $("#txtCustomerId").val() },
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
$("#textlabel").text(error)
},
success: function (result) {
$("#textlabel").text(result.Result)
}
});
Controller side;
public ActionResult StartOperation(string customerId)
{
Session["OperationId"] = "operationid";
// Some web api transactions (This operations takes a few minutes.)
var data = new { Result = "Operation Completed." };
return Json(data, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
I am sure about Session["OperationId"] is not null, and then I call my cancel action while web api transactions in progress;
$(function () {
$('#btnCancelLogin').on('click', function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
cache: false,
url: '/Home/CancelOperation'
});
});
});
Controller side;
public ActionResult CancelOperation()
{
String operationId = Session["OperationId"] as String // return null
//Cancel operations
}
Why Session["OperationId"] is always null on CancelOperation() method ? Thanks for advices.
if you take data from ajax side for start operation you should use post. Actually your ajax type is incorrect.
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
url: '/Home/StartOperation',
dataType: 'json',
data: { customerId: $("#txtCustomerId").val() },
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
$("#textlabel").text(error)
},
success: function (result) {
$("#textlabel").text(result.Result)
}
});
Or if you want to take data from controller you should return data
public ActionResult StartOperation(string customerId)
{
Session["OperationId"] = "operationid";
// Some web api transactions
return json(customerId);
}
also your ajax should be like this
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
cache: false,
url: '/Home/StartOperation',
dataType: 'json',
data: { customerId: $("#txtCustomerId").val() },
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
$("#textlabel").text(error)
},
success: function (result) {
$("#textlabel").text(result.Result)
}
});

Kendo Export as PDF

I am calling kendo.drawing.drawDOM method in #PrintPDF button click. When the button is clicked it goes to on success of the button click, there i am getting the partial view result. Now i want to pass this partial view result to be created as a pdf document. I am not sure how to pass the partial view result as input elements of kendo.drawing.drawDOM.
Note : $.parseHTML(result) does not work.
$("#PrintPDF").click(function () {
var url = "_PrintPDFPartialView";
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
data: {
id: $("#StId").val()
},
success: function (result)
{
kendo.drawing.drawDOM($.parseHTML(result))
.then(function (group) {
// Render the result as a PDF file
return kendo.drawing.exportPDF(group, {
paperSize: "auto",
multiPage: true,
});
}).done(function (data) { },
)};
});
You can use this source
$("#PrintPDF").click(function () {
var url = "_PrintPDFPartialView";
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
data: {
id: $("#StId").val()
},
success: function (result)
{
var $result = $(result);
kendo.drawing.drawDOM($result)
.then(function (group) {
// Render the result as a PDF file
kendo.drawing.pdf.saveAs(group, "test.pdf");
}).done(function (data) { },
)};
});

jquery ajax always get error section when try to pass json object(simple)

var jso = { "namep": "a", "age": "10" };
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Action("gettestjsn","Cart")',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: JSON.stringify(jso),
success: function (data) {
alert(data.namep);
},
error: function () { alert("err"); }
});
this code always go to error function and i does not fire my mvc action,aslo i have a prop class which does match to this json obj. why is that i m new to json and jquery ajax please help
this is my action
public ActionResult gettestjsn(jso jso)
{
//do some here
return View();
}
Remove contentType from the ajax attributes and add
dataType: 'json',
This will work if the url is correct
this is how your code should look like
var jso = { "namep": "a", "age": "10" };
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Action("gettestjsn","Cart")',
data: jso,
success: function (data) {
alert(data.namep);
},
error: function () { alert("err"); }
});
Also i would refrain from using alerts. Either use console.log or debug using the inspector in your browser (comes inbuilt with chrome) to see what your data from the server looks like.
Try like this,
var jso = { "namep": "a", "age": "10" };
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/Cart/gettestjsn',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: jso,
success: function (data) {
alert(data.namep);
},
error: function (jqxhr, status, error) { alert("err:" + status + ':' + error); }
});
and your action should be,
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult gettestjsn(jso jso)
{
//do some here
return View();
}
Hope it helps.

synchronous ajax calls from jquery to mvc

I have to generate several graphs and each graph data I should get it from mvc controller.
so I am using the below jquery to do ajax calls from jquery to mvc
$(".emailgraphs").each(function () {
YAHOO.Report.Print("Email", $(this).attr("responsefield"), $(this).attr("id"), $(this).attr("metricid"));
});
Print: function (name, graphid, divid, metricid) {
try {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: m_oReport.ds,
data: JSON.stringify(m_oReport.printp(name, graphid, metricid)),
beforeSend: function () {
//Displays loading image before request send, till we get response.
//$("#" + divId).addClass("loading");
},
success: function (data) {
// if they define a success function (s), call it and return data to it.
if (typeof m_oReport.prints === "function") {
m_oReport.prints(data, divid, name)
}
},
error: function (err) {
$("#" + divid).html(err);
}
});
}
catch (err) { alert("catch"); }
}
The problem is the calls are asynchronous. sometimes I am getting one graph and sometime 2 like that and sometimes nothing.
Is there any fix for this?
try to use something like this
function getDataSync() {
return $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: remote_url,
async: false,
}).responseText;
}

Ajax call to controller method not passing parameter

I am trying to make an AJax call to a controller method the parameter is null no matter what I try. I have followed all the similar SO posts but to no avail. Sorry if the answer is there, I cant find it. The code I have is...
Ajax Call
var sguid = $(nTr).attr('id');
$.ajax({
url: "/Dashboard/Reporting/GetBlacklistedSoftwareItems",
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
data: JSON.stringify({guid: sguid}),
statusCode: {
404: function() {
alert("page not found");
}
},
success: function (data) {
//DO Something
},
error: function () {
alert("error");
}
});
Controller Method
public JsonResult GetBlacklistedSoftwareItems(string guid)
{
List<DeviceSoftware> ldevice = new List<DeviceSoftware>();
Guid i = Guid.Parse(guid);
ReportMethods reportingMethods = new ReportMethods();
ldevice = reportingMethods.GetNonCompliantApplicationReport(CompanyId);
DeviceSoftware ds = ldevice.Find(x => x.Device.Guid == i);
List<DeviceApplication> da = new List<DeviceApplication>();
if (ds != null)
{
da = ds.DeviceApplications;
}
return Json(da, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
The method is being hit its just guid is alway null. sguid does hold the data I am trying to pass.
Can someone tell me what I am missing?
Against everything I read I changed
data: JSON.stringify({guid: sguid}),
To
data: {guid: sguid},
Now working.
Fred,
You need to make GetBlacklistedSoftwareItems a post method....
try this...
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult GetBlacklistedSoftwareItems(string guid)
{
Small changes needs to be done.
var sguid = $(nTr).attr('id');
$.ajax({
url: "/Dashboard/Reporting/GetBlacklistedSoftwareItems",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" ,//This is very important
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
Data: JSON. stringify ({guild: squid}),
statusCode: {
404: function() {
alert("page not found");
}
},
success: function (data) {
//DO Something
},
error: function () {
alert("error");
}
});
Add the contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" , to the $.Ajax Call.
:)
