Hi
I have this code working, it prints all email adresses it gets from a request to gmail
but now I need to send the array with results to another partial view
how can I store it in a way that I can use it somewhere else? (the partialview does appear on the same page)

C#

var array = response.contacts.asArray();
               var html = "You have " + array.length + "contacts<BR/>";
               html += "<table cellpadding=20>";
               for (var i = 0; i < array.length ; i++) {
                   html += "<tr><td align=center valign='bottom'>";
                   html += array[i].email + "</td></tr>";
               }
               html += "</table>";
               document.getElementById('contacts').innerHTML = html;
           } else {
               alert('Error :' + response.errorMessage);
           }

thanks a lot!

I now have
$.ajax({
url: '@Url.Action("MailListArray", "Mail")',
data: {mailList: array},
type: 'POST',
dataType: "json"
});

Solution 1

you can use JSON to represent your array, or any other object for that matter. Convert the array you have to a JSON string, then send the string to anywhere you want and on the receiving end recreate the array from the JSON string.

The code will look something like this

JavaScript

//sender
var data= JSON.stringify(MyObject);
Send(data);

//receiver
MyObject = JSON.parse(data);

var mailList = { mailList: mailListArray };

                $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: '@Url.Action("MailListArray", "mail")',
                    data: mailList,
                    success: function (data) {
                        alert(data.Result);
                    },
                    dataType: "json",
                    traditional: true
                });

this is a call to a mvc controller.

traditional: true

this was the key to succes!
