Sending JSON to an ASP.NET MVC Action Method Argument

Posted: 15 Apr 2010 09:42 AM PDT

Javier "G Money" Lozano , one of the good folks involved with C4MVC , recently wrote a blog post on posting JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) encoded data to an MVC controller action. In his post, he describes an interesting approach of using a custom model binder to bind sent JSON data to an argument of an action method. Unfortunately, his sample left out the custom model binder and only demonstrates how to retrieve JSON data sent from a controller action, not how to send the JSON to the action method. Honest mistake. :) His post reminds me of how remiss I've been in blogging recently because a while back, we added something to our ASP.NET MVC 2 Futures library that handles sending JSON to an action method but I just never found time to blog...(read more)

What happens to C# 4 optional parameters when compiling against 3.5?

Posted: 15 Apr 2010 05:14 PM PDT

Here's a method declaration that uses optional parameters: public Path Copy( Path destination, bool overwrite = false , bool recursive = false ) Something you may not know is that Visual Studio 2010 will let you compile this against .NET 3.5, with no error or warning. You may be wondering (as I was) how it does that. Well, it takes the easy and rather obvious way of not trying to be too smart and just ignores the optional parameters. So if you're compiling against 3.5 from Visual Studio 2010, the above code is equivalent to: public Path Copy( Path destination, bool overwrite, bool recursive) The parameters are not optional (no such thing in C# 3), and no overload gets magically created for you. If you're building a library that is going to have...(read more)
