The instant the post to the controller happens, the screen show the 415 error...so I am thinking that even though the data goes through somehow my json structure must not be correct.
View Ajax:
function SubAll() {
var selectedValues =
$('#timesheet').DataTable().column(0).checkboxes.selected().toArray();
var instructions = []; //create array of objects
for (var i = 0; i < selectedValues.length; i++) {
instructions.push({ TimeId: selectedValues[i] });
}
var jsonObject = { MasterIds: instructions };
$.ajax({
url: "/Admin/ApproveAllTimesheets",
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
data: JSON.stringify(jsonObject),
success: function (result) {
console.log(result);
},
error: function (xhr, textStatus) {
if (xhr.status == 401) { alert("Session Expired!"); window.location =
"/Account"; }
else {
alert('Content load failed!', "info");
}
}
});
};
Controller:
public IActionResult ApproveAllTimesheets([FromBody]ValueContainer information)
Class Objects:
public class ValueContainer
{
public List<Value> MasterIds { get; set; }
}
public class Value
{
public Guid TimeId { get; set; }
}
Payload:
{"MasterIds":[{"TimeId":"ad98749f-9083-464b-aac2-0d685a7de809"}]}
UPDATE #1
As it turns out the fix is the way I was calling the function. Instead of the button onclick="SubAll()" I replaced that with a simple and used jQuery to intercept the click event, prevent it, and then call into the function...and now no 415 error.
View Button
<button id="ApproveAll" class="btn btn-success">Approve All</button>
View jQuery
$(document).ready(function () {
timesheet = $('#timesheet').DataTable({

var data = $.map(columns, function (col, i) {
return col.hidden ?
'<tr data-dt-row="' + col.rowIndex + '"
data-dt-column="' + col.columnIndex + '">' +
'<td>' + col.title + ':' + '</td> ' +
'<td>' + col.data + '</td>' +
'</tr>' :
'';
}).join('');
return data ?
$('<table/>').append(data) :
