I am feeling dejavu, but I cannot find the answer to this:
I have an array of objects that needs to look like this when inspecting a jQ $.post call:

limiter[0].Key

limiter[0].Value

so that it is mapped in the action

public ActionResult SomeAction(Dictionary<Guid, string> dictionary) { }

However, this javascript:

// Some Guid and Some Value

var param = [ { 'Key' : '00000000-0000-00000-000000', 'Value': 'someValue' } ];



$.post('/SomeController/SomeAction/',

       {

       dictionary: limiter,

       otherPostData: data

       },

       function(data) {

          callback(data);

       }

)

produces this when inspecting it in firebug:

limiter[0][Key] = someKey // Guid Value

limiter[0][Value] = someValue

This is in jq 1.4.2. I seem to remember some flag you need to set to render json a different way in jQ. Does this ring any bells?

Try like this:

var param = {

    '[0].Key': '28fff84a-76ad-4bf6-bc6d-aea4a30869b1', 

    '[0].Value': 'someValue 1',



    '[1].Key': 'd29fdac3-5879-439d-80a8-10fe4bb97b18', 

    '[1].Value': 'someValue 2',



    'otherPostData': 'some other data'

};



$.ajax({

    url: '/Home/SomeAction/',

    type: 'POST',

    data: param,

    success: function (data) {

        alert(data);

    }

});

should map to the following controller action:

public ActionResult SomeAction(Dictionary<Guid, string> dictionary, string otherPostData) 

{ 

    ...

}
