pass jquery json into asp.net httphandler

Try

data: JSON.stringify([{id: "10000", name: "bill"},{id: "10005", name: "paul"}])

edit I removed the quotes from the property names

Also, the JSON string needs to be read in other way

string jsonString = String.Empty;HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream.Position = 0;using (StreamReader inputStream = new StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream)){     jsonString = inputStream.ReadToEnd();}

An working solution

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context){    var jsonSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();    var jsonString = String.Empty;    context.Request.InputStream.Position = 0;    using (var inputStream = new StreamReader(context.Request.InputStream))    {        jsonString = inputStream.ReadToEnd();    }    var emplList = jsonSerializer.Deserialize<List<Employee>>(jsonString);    var resp = String.Empty;    foreach (var emp in emplList)    {        resp += emp.name + " \\ ";    }    context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";    context.Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;    context.Response.Write(jsonSerializer.Serialize(resp));}public class Employee{    public string id { get; set; }    public string name { get; set; }}public bool IsReusable{    get    {        return false;    }}
