Is it possible to send a list of javascript objects to a function in the contoller?

Question

I’m returning a data list of an object type (GAR) function actualizarGARs controller’s:

var listaGARTratadas = db.GAR.ToList();
return Json(listaGARTratadas);

And in javascript I wanted to send this list of objects again to another function (carregaGARsCriadas):

$.getJSON("/GAR/actualizarGARs", { carimbo: carimbo, CaixaFisicaGAR: $("#CaixaFisicaGAR").val() },
  function (result) {
        $("#divListagemGARActualizadas").empty();
        $("#divListagemGARActualizadas").load("/GAR/carregaGARsCriadas", {garsCriadas: result});
}

Where do I get this list of objects passed on result:

public ActionResult carregaGARsCriadas(List<GAR> garsCriadas) {
        return PartialView("listaGARsCriadas");
    }

The problem is that I receive the variable garsCriadas with the correct number of elements in the object (for example 5), but the content of each element is null

You can work with arrays in javascript. Mount the array in your view and then switch to the controller. In the controller open the array. ;)

The solution I found to my question is to create an array of all the id’s I want to pass to the function in the controller, instead of passing a list of objects.

I then built the array in javascript:

$.getJSON("/GAR/actualizarGARs", { carimbo: carimbo, CaixaFisicaGAR: $("#CaixaFisicaGAR").val() },
        function (result) {                
            var lista = "[";
            var len = result.length;
            $.each(result, function (index, itemData) {
                if (index == len - 1) {
                    lista += "" + itemData.IdGar + "";
                } else {
                    lista += "" + itemData.IdGar + ",";
                }
            });
            lista += "]";

            $("#divListagemGARActualizadas").load("/GAR/carregaGARsCriadas", { garsCriadas: lista });

        });

Thus the variable lista gets the content [2001, 2002, 3500] for example. I received this from the controller lista as string and made a split for ,:

 public ActionResult carregaGARsCriadas(string garsCriadas)
 {
    if (!(garsCriadas.Contains("undefined")))
    {
       var arrayGARs = garsCriadas.Trim(new char[] { '[', ']' }).Split(',').Select(a => int.Parse(a)).ToList();//.Split
       var listaGARs = db.GAR.Where(g => arrayGARs.Contains(g.IdGar)).ToList();
       return PartialView("listaGARsCriadas", listaGARs);
     }
     return PartialView("listaGARsCriadas");
  }
