            using (var writer = new StringWriter()) 
            {

Submitted parameters must be named:
"Class1.Property1"

Here are samples of two functions that creates this values dynamically before submitting form.

     
//this function create parameters for sending them over AJAX 
function ConvertJSONIntoPostableHTML() { 
var params = { 
            param1 : 'myvalue', 
        }; 
 
if (Jsonrecord != null) { 
    for (var i = 0; i < Jsonrecord.length; i++) { 
        var rec = Jsonrecord[i]; 
        $.each(Object.keys(rec), function(j, value) { 
            params["Records[" + i + "]." + value] = rec[value]; 
        }); 
    } 
} 
 
return params; 
} 

        
 
//this function add parameters to form , then form can be submitted  
function SelectedNodes(frm) { 
            $(".tslct").remove(); 
            var i = 0; 
                $.each(myJsonCollection, function () { 
                                var obj = "Nodes[" + i + "]."; 
                                addElem(frm, obj + "Id", this.Id); 
                                addElem(frm, obj + "Value", this.Type); 
                                i++; 
                } 
        ); 
} 

jquery add element to form dynamically

 
//function that adds element to form  
function addElem(frm, id, val) { 
                $('<input>').attr({ 
                        type: 'hidden', 
                        id: id, 
                        name: id, 
                        value: val, 
                        class: 'tslct' 
                }).appendTo(frm); 
} 
 
//example of using of this function  
var frm = $(this).closest('form'); 
addElem(frm,  "myId", "myvalue");
