How to send JSon array to remote asmx webservice using c#?

Question

In my application i've to send request to a remote asmx web service which is asking for a number of parameters. There is a parameter which is asking for json array. But i can't figure it out that how can i input my json string in the asmx url.(There is no issues with other string values for other parameters). Thanks in advance.

It's my understanding that unless the webservice has been heavily customised, you are going to need to pass that parameter in the request body rather than as a GET parameter. For example (with jQuery):

var data = {
  paramName: ['this', 'is', 'the', 'array']
};

$.post('service.asmx/Method?getParam1=herp&getParam2=derp', data)
  .done(function(d)
  {
    console.log('Response: ' + JSON.stringify(d));
  });

It's been a while since I used an ASMX service, and I'm not 100% positive that you can mix parameters like that. I have a feeling that if you put anything in the body, you have to put everything in it.
