ASP.NET - Passing JSON from jQuery to ASHX

Question

I'm trying to pass JSON from jQuery to a .ASHX file. Example of the jQuery below:

$.ajax({       type: "POST",       url: "/test.ashx",       data: "{'file':'dave', 'type':'ward'}",       contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",       dataType: "json",           }); 

How do I retrieve the JSON data in my .ASHX file? I have the method:

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) 

but I can't find the JSON values in the request.

I know this is too old, but just for the record I'd like to add my 5 cents

You can read the JSON object on the server with this

string json = new StreamReader(context.Request.InputStream).ReadToEnd();
