c#: with a Handler(.ashx) get post send with javascript

Question

I am trying to get a string from a textbox in a .aspx page. When I debug my site jQuery.post is able to see the input value, but when I try to get the value in my handler, he is giving me NULL back. Anyone help!!!

JS:

CompanyName = $("#company").val();
jQuery.post('/CartHandler.ashx', { 'CompanyName': CompanyName });

ASHX:

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
    string ImeTvrtke = context.Request.QueryString["CompanyName"];
}

Solution

When you make a POST request, the value is not sent as part of the query string. So don't look in the query string for it. Retrieve it like this:

string ImeTvrtke = context.Request["CompanyName"];

Alternatively if you wanted to be sent as part of the query string then use a GET request:

jQuery.get('/CartHandler.ashx', { 'CompanyName': CompanyName });

I tryed with GET, it's the same.

Hmm that's strange. Can you see the AJAX request being made in Fiddler?

When I post with jquery serialize, I am able to get in the handler the whole form, but I need only one string

This should work with only a single value. Maybe the code you have shown in your question is not the actual code.

If you can't get the string, then your probably want the .Value of the Request[] / Request.Form[], apologies, I didn't understand that as your problem
