The data passed through an AJAX call to the controller is null

[Jack]

Good day,

 

I have a question since all solutions I've found so far didn't work in my case. Hre's a brief description of what I have... So, I have my kendoGrid with all the info displayed. I'm trying to make a button for certain rows which will call a method in my Controller. Here's the code on my page:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<DisplayEntitiesViewModel>()
              .Name("CustomersGrid")
              .Columns(columns =>
              {
                  columns.Bound(c => c.CustomerId).Hidden(true);
                  columns.Bound(c => c.CustomerName)
                      .Width(150);
                  columns.Bound(c => c.CustEmail)
                      .Width(800);
                  columns.Command(command => command
                      .Custom("Add Contact")
                      .Visible("showButton")
                      .Click("AddContact")).Width(180);
              })
              .HtmlAttributes(new {style = "height: 580px; width: 1133px; margin-left: 16px"})
              .Scrollable()
              .Groupable()
              .Sortable()
              .Pageable(pageable => pageable
                  .Refresh(true)
                  .PageSizes(true)
                  .ButtonCount(5))
              .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                  .Ajax()
                  .Read(read => read.Action("ReadCustomers", "MyController"))
                  .PageSize(20)
              )
              )

 

Here's my script with the AJAX call:

function AddContact(c) {

        var row = $(c.target).closest("tr");
        var grid = $('#acombaGrid').data('kendoGrid');
        var dataItem = grid.dataItem(row);

        $.ajax({
            url: '@Url.Action("DispalyEntities", "MyController")',
            dataType: "json",
            contentType: "application/json",
            data: {
                customerId: dataItem.CustomerId
            },
            cache: false,
            type: "POST"
        });
    }

 

Here's in brief my Controller:

public IActionResult DispalyEntities(string customerId)
{
    return View();
}

 

My problem is, no matter what I've done so far... my costomerId passed to the controller is always null. Could you please point me what's wrong with it. Thanks in advance for doing so.

Nevermind... Found my stupid mistake. Should use GET instead. Thanks anyway.
