asp.net - passing parameter to Http Handler from jQuery call

Question

I am trying to call my custom Htpp Handler and want to pass some parameter's but i am unable to retrieve those param's value on the http Handler process request method. I use code like ..

At Client Side

$.ajax({
                url: 'VideoViewValidation.ashx',
                type: 'POST',
                data: { 'Id': '10000', 'Type': 'Employee' },
                contentType: 'application/json;charset=utf-8',
                success: function (data) {
                    debugger;
                    alert('Server Method is called successfully.' + data.d);
                },
                error: function (errorText) {
                    debugger;
                    alert('Server Method is not called due to ' + errorText);
                }
            });

And this is on my custom http Handler

public class VideoViewValidation : IHttpHandler
{

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        string videoID = string.Empty;
        string id = context.Request["Id"];
        string type = context.Request["Type"];
}
}

Please tell me where is the problem .

Remove "contentType: 'application/json;charset=utf-8'" and add "dataType:'json'"
