How best to get an array(item=>value) pair as a GET / POST parameter?
In PHP, i can do this:
URL: http://localhost/test/testparam.php?a[one]=100&a[two]=200
this gets the parameter as:
Array
(
[a] => Array
(
[one] => 100
[two] => 200
)
)
Is there any way to accomplish the same in ASP.NET MVC?
Note: Not sure about Best
, but this is what I use.
You can pass the arguments using the same name for all of them:
For the URL
http://localhost/MyController/MyAction?a=hi&a=hello&a=sup
You would take the parameters as a string array (or List).
public ActionResult MyAction(string[] a)
{
string first = a[0]; // hi
string second = a[1]; // hello
string third = a[2]; // sup
return View();
}
This works for POST and GET. For POST you would name the <input>
controls all the same name.
