jquery - Form with Select Multiple Post to WebAPI -

i using c# web api receive post of form have select multiple.

my model in web api method like:

{model: { username: "test", groups: [ {id:123}, {id: 2}]}}

in other words, model class fields, , array of complex type.

webapi works correctly if form data posted is:

username:test groups[0][id]:123 groups[1][id]:2

however, if serialize form $(this).serialize() like:

username:test groups[][id]:123 groups[][id]:2

which webapi doesn't handle correctly.

this defining select as:

<select name="groups[][id]" >...</select>

i have tried other ways define select, can't accomplish it.

i able workaround building object based on form's elements , passing object ajax instead of $(this).serialize, ugly hack.

does webapi somehow supports receiving properties arrays in model posted form?

thanks.
