title: Best practice for sending Grid data in ASP.NET MVC 2 from View to Controller
body: <p>I am new to ASP.NET MVC 2 and would like to know what the easiest and/or best practice is to send "grid data" from a View to a Controller.  Think of this "grid data" as an excel spreadsheet where some columns will have some data and some rows will have some data.  In the controller I need to know not only what column and row contains data but also the specific data it contains.  My hope would be to have a "grid object" in the controller class that I could loop through to gather the necessary data but I'm open to other options.  </p>
  
  <p>Obviously this probably isn't the easiest way to capture data like this but just imagine this is the only way you are allowed to get this input from the user.</p>
  
  <p>Also I am using VS.NET 2010, ASP.NET 4.0, C# 4.0 so I've thought about not using the ASP.NET MVC 2 and using ASP.NET web forms since it seems this solution would be easier in web forms.  My only concern with doing that is there are other aspects of the website that would be easier in MVC and this seems to be the only issue at this point with using MVC.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Paul</p>
