title: Ajax and MVC 4 ( post request)
body: <p>I want to send a simple string ( which is xml ) to a controller. I don't know why the breakpoint in Visual Studio is not hit.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the jQuery code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
              type: "POST",
              url: "BasicWizard/show",
              data: "xml="+xmlResult,
              success: function (data) {
                  console.log("Oh yeah !");
              },
              error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                  console.log(textStatus, errorThrown);
              }
  
  
              });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is my method in the controller:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    [HttpPost]
      public ActionResult show(string xml)
  
     {
         try
         {
             ViewBag.xml = xml;
             return PartialView("showXML");
         }
         catch (Exception)
         {
             return Content("error");
         }
  
  
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have just a 500 error in the console. </p>
