I am trying to post to an ASP.NET MVC action from another Action (separate sites) and I need to post a collection of objects. I'm unable to find how to serialize this collection of objects so I can get them as a standard NameValueCollection. Example:
var test1 = new TestObject { FirstName = "John", LastName="Smith", IDNum=12345 };
var test2 = new TestObject { FirstName = "Betty", LastName="Jones", IDNum=34567};
var test3 = new TestObject { FirstName = "Bobby", LastName="Hebert", IDNum=9876 };
List<TestObject> coll;
coll.Add(test1);
coll.Add(test2);
coll.Add(test3);
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.UploadData("http://mysite.com", ??? );
// or
wc.UploadValues("http://mysite.com", ??? );
// or...
// ?????
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Just do this -
wc.Headers["Content-type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
wc.UploadString("url", "postData");
