asp-all-route-data not calling action method in Asp.Net Core MVC

I am running Asp.Net Core 3.1 application where i have one left side menu in layout which i load through partial view.
To set menu link i used the anchor tag like below:
var allRouteData = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "menuid", mID.ToString() },
{ "isCalledByMenu", "true" },
{ "where", "tab" }
};
<a class="#clas" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-complete="RedirectToPage('#M.MenuUrl', '#M.MenuName',true)" data-ajax-mode="replace" data-ajax-update="#myTab" asp-action="GetSubMenu" asp-controller="Base" asp-all-route-data="#allRouteData">#M.MenuName</a>
So when page loads then HTML generate like below:
<a class="nav-link btn fuse-ripple-ready" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-complete="RedirectToPage('/OrgOverview/ProfessionalServices', 'Professional Services',true)" data-ajax-mode="replace" data-ajax-update="#myTab" href="/Base/GetSubMenu?menuid=9630&isCalledByMenu=true&where=tab">Professional Services</a>
Below is action method used :
public IActionResult GetSubMenu(int menuid, bool? isCalledByMenu, string where = null)
{
return ViewComponent("SubMenu", new { menuid = menuid, isCalledByMenu = isCalledByMenu, where = where });
}
In Layout page on the top i assigned the tag helper:
#addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
But when i click on the link it is not hitting this action method.
Update: When i click menu then first it hit the list inside javascript where i do some ajax call:
$('#myTab>li>a.nav-link.btn.fuse-ripple-ready').on("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var requestedPage = $(this).text();
SetCurrentPageNameSession(requestedPage, false);// ajax call to set some value.
return true;
});
In SetCurrentPageNameSession method i do ajax call to set the menu name in server side to some session before calling action method.
like below:
function SetCurrentPageNameSession(CurrentPage, IsBookMark) {
if (IsBookMark==undefined)
IsBookMark = false;
var url = baseUrl+"Manage/HighlightCurrentMenu/"
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: { CurrentPage: CurrentPage, IsBookMark: IsBookMark },
url: url,
dataType: "json",
async:false,
success: function (data) {
var res = data.d;
},
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
}
});
}
Then after it anchor tag call the action method.
Please suggest.

Maybe you could forget data-ajax, it also doesn't work on me and I can't find the answer about it. You could code as below and it also can request the GetSubMenu and continue to excute next logic.
<div id="myTab"></div>
<a class="nav-link btn fuse-ripple-ready"
href="#">Professional Services</a>
<script>
$('a.nav-link.btn.fuse-ripple-ready').on("click", function (e) {
//e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: "/Base/GetSubMenu",
async: true,
type: "get",
datatype: "json",
data: #Json.Serialize(allRouteData),
success: function (result) {
$('#myTab').html(result)
}
});
//RedirectToPage('/OrgOverview/ProfessionalServices', 'Professional Services', true);
var requestedPage = $(this).text();
SetCurrentPageNameSession(requestedPage, false);// ajax call to set some value.
return true;
});
</script>
Comment or Remove e.preventDefault();
Calling preventDefault() during any stage of event flow cancels the event, meaning that any default action normally taken by the implementation as a result of the event will not occur.

I found the solution for the above asked question:
The issue was when i click on menu link then i used to call first it's anchor click in javascript where i did e.preventDefault() and then used to do some ajax call to pass some value to set in session. Due to e.preventDefault() call after that it was not hitting the action method.
Since i had to pass other three data to server to set somewhere. To do that i set all three value in anchor tag data-link attribute separated with Pipe like below:
data-link="9630|true|tab|/OrgOverview/ProfessionalServices|Professional Services"
function SetCurrentPageNameSession(CurrentPage, IsBookMark, MenuID, IsCalledByMenu, Where, PageUrl, PageName) {
var url = baseUrl+"Manage/HighlightCurrentMenu/"
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: { CurrentPage: CurrentPage, IsBookMark: IsBookMark, menuID: MenuID, isCalledByMenu: IsCalledByMenu, where: Where},
url: url,
dataType: "json",
async:false,
success: function (data) {
var res = data.d;
if (PageUrl != undefined && PageUrl != '' && PageUrl != null)
RedirectToPage(PageUrl, PageName, true, false)
},
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
}
});
Then in this ajax call success i am redirecting the page with passed page url.
But still i am wondering the same code how it was working in MVC and not in asp.net core.
That's it.

Can't call new page by controller in Asp.net

I want to call new page by click on a button by jQuery from Index.cshtml :
$("#btnSearch").click(function(){
var idser = $("#Name").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/User/getAll",
id : idser,
success: function() {
alert("success");
}
});
});
});
It call to my controller action : UserController/getAll
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
public ActionResult getAll(string id,string name)
{
return View("AllUser");
}
But is still at Index.cshtml not go to AllUser.cshtml page? I don't know why...please help.
UPDATE :
my jquery function call my action in controller , and the action work correctly but it not return to AllUser.cshtml page.

Please check out the documentation here. I would attempt using a tag-helper in the Ajax setup like this:
$("#btnSearch").click(function(){
var idser = $("#Name").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '#Url.Action("User", "getAll", new { id = "ID", name = "searchName" })',
id : idser,
success: function() {
alert("success");
}
});
});
});

Firstly I don't know what is your purpose behind using ajax while your are redirecting the other page ?
But you if still want to use Ajax, you can achieve this by two ways:
1) you can assign window.location in your success block.
2) Use your code by following way :
$("#btnSearch").click(function(){
var idser = $("#Name").val();
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/User/getAll",
id : idser,
success: function() {
alert("success");
return true;
}
});
});
});
you can try it by putting return true in your script.
hope it helps to you

Updating in response to clarification in comments:
In the success callback,
location.href="/user/getall";
That will cause the browser to navigate to that URL after the ajax post has completed.
A button that posts a value from an input to another page - that's a form.
<form action="/User/getAll">
<input type="submit" value="Click me">
</form>
I don't know where your id is coming from, but you can put a hidden input in the form and a script to populate it (unless it's a user input - then you can just put the input right in the form.)
<form action="/User/getAll">
<input type="submit" value="Click me">
<input type="hidden" name="id" id="hiddenId"/>
</form>
<script>
$("#hiddenId").val($("#Name").val());
</script>
Or, if you want to be sure that your form's action URL matches your route:
<form action='#Url.Action("getAll", "User")'>
(Assuming that the controller is called "User".)

Here we go:
window.location.href = "yourUrl" can help you.
$("#btnSearch").click(function(){
var idser = $("#Name").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/User/getAll",
id : idser,
success: function() {
alert("success");
window.location.href ="../yourUrl"; //This is working!
}
});
});
});
You may redirect in Controller this like:
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
public ActionResult getAll(string id,string name)
{
return RedirectToAction("NameOfAction"); //Here is going Name of Action wich returns View AllUser.cshtml
}
Hope it helps;)

Redirect from partial view to view with json data object

I have a json data object which i need to pass from partial view to view with REDIRECT.
Lets say below is my partial view ( _createEmp.cshtml ):-
Note:- This partial view is in different view or page
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
LoadData();
});
function LoadData() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: baseURL + "Employee/GetEmpInfo",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
async: true,
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
**EmpData** = data; // EmpData object
},
error: function (error) {
console.log("Error: " + error);
}
});
}
</script>
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Save" onclick="SetEmpInfo()" />
</div>
And i want to transfer EmpData object to a different view (lets say NewEmp.cshtml), bind something in that view from passed "EmpData object" and open that view (or REDIRECT to view NewEmp.cshtml).

As you are using ajax, you could return the URL from your action and have it redirected in javascript.
Without seeing your controller action you would need to do something like this:
Controller
public ActionResult GetEmpInfo()
{
// Do stuff
return Json(new { success = true, redirecturl = Url.Action("GetEmpInfoSuccess") });
}
Then add something like this to your success handler in javascript:
Javascript (within your success handler)
success: function (data) {
if (data.success == true)
{
window.location = result.redirecturl;
}
}

Issuing a request to Employee/GetEmpInfo for getting the data and on success redirecting to other view - doesn't sound right
I think that you can do all this with one trip to server:
Write an Action that receives all the the parameters that GetEmpInfo receives. Lets call it NewEmployee.
If GetEmpInfo action is your code, reuse it's logic inside NewEmployee action to get EmpData. If it is not your code, you can use issue async request with HttpClient and get EmpData - All this performed on the server
Once you have EmpData you should have everything your need to return a NewEmp view.
In this particular case there is no need in AJAX at all. You can use regular form submit in case that you need to post some data or just a redirect to NewEmployee action.

How to pass a JavaScript Array to ASP.Net MVC Action as part of post

I have a cshtml as follow,
DoPost.cshtml
#using (Html.BeginForm("Purchase", "PurchaseOrder", FormMethod.Post, new { #id = "frmPurchase" }))
{
// statements
// statements
<input type="button" id="submitPurchase" onclick = "myPurchase()" value="Select" />
}
In Javascript I have an array strings in variable "ExtraItems"
ExtraItems[0] ="123"
ExtraItems[1] ="124"
ExtraItems[2] ="125"
My Action which accept the data is as follows,
public ActionResult Purchase(PurchaseOrderModel model)
{
//Do some stuff with the passed data
return View("Purchase", model);
}
In the above PurchaseOrderModel, I have the property
public string[] SelectedProducts { get; set; }
to accept the Javascript Array elements.
What I tried:
The simple post did not work as the JavaScript array elements are not part of the Form elements,I couldn't use a #Html.HiddenFor because it is an array.
Hence tried to do an Ajax post under function myPurchase(),
$a.post('#Url.Action("Purchase", "PurchaseOrder")', { SelectedProducts: ExtraItems });
Here I did not get the ExtraItems details under model.SelectedProducts in the action. The biggest issue was i wanted to load the Purchase.cshtml View from the action, instead I got the controll back to the Jquery Post.
Please help me how can I solve this.

You should post your javascript array as a json object. You use the JSON.stringify() method converts a value to JSON. Something like :
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("Purchase", "PurchaseOrder")',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
data: JSON.stringify({
SelectedProducts: ExtraItems
})
});

Here is my example for solving your issue
-----------------------------------------
//Script
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
<script>
var ExtraItems = ["aa","bb","cc","ff"];
function a()
{
$.ajax( {
type: 'POST',
url: '/Default1/Index',
data: { SelectedProducts: ExtraItems },
traditional: true,
success: function ( response )
{
alert( 'Sucs' );
}
} );
}
</script>
<button onclick="a();">click</button>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.js"></script>
//Controller
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index( string[] SelectedProducts )
{
return View();
}

Take a string property in your model and then send the data as comma separated string
var dataToSent = ExtraItems.join(',')
If you have a property named Datum of type string in your model Purchase then the data to be sent will be, passing model
data : 'Datum=' + dataToSent
In your action you can split data into array
also for return response you have to redirect the page in the success function of your ajax call
$.ajax( {
type: 'POST',
url: '/Default1/Index',
data: { SelectedProducts: ExtraItems },
traditional: true,
success: function ( response )
{
window.location.href = "/controller/action" <--your url
}
} );

Use $.ajax function with the option traditional:true for enabling ASP.NET MVC default model binding for the list of string items.

Redirecting to another page in ASP.NET MVC using JavaScript/jQuery

I want to redirect from one page to another page in ASP.NET MVC 3.0 using JavaScript/jQuery/Ajax. On button click event I have written JavaScript code like below.
function foo(id)
{
$.post('/Branch/Details/' + id);
}
My controller code is like this:
public ViewResult Details(Guid id)
{
Branch branch = db.Branches.Single(b => b.Id == id);
return View(branch);
}
When I click on a button it is calling the Details action inside BranchController, but it doesn't return to the Details view.
I didn't get any error or exception. It's showing status 200 OK in Firebug. What is wrong in my code and how can I redirect to the Details view page?

You are not subscribing to any success callback in your $.post AJAX call. Meaning that the request is executed, but you do nothing with the results. If you want to do something useful with the results, try:
$.post('/Branch/Details/' + id, function(result) {
// Do something with the result like for example inject it into
// some placeholder and update the DOM.
// This obviously assumes that your controller action returns
// a partial view otherwise you will break your markup
});
On the other hand if you want to redirect, you absolutely do not need AJAX. You use AJAX only when you want to stay on the same page and update only a portion of it.
So if you only wanted to redirect the browser:
function foo(id) {
window.location.href = '/Branch/Details/' + id;
}
As a side note:
You should never be hardcoding urls like this. You should always be using url helpers when dealing with urls in an ASP.NET MVC application. So:
function foo(id) {
var url = '#Url.Action("Details", "Branch", new { id = "__id__" })';
window.location.href = url.replace('__id__', id);
}

This could be done by using a hidden variable in the view and then using that variable to post from the JavaScript code.
Here is my code in the view
#Html.Hidden("RedirectTo", Url.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName"));
Now you can use this in the JavaScript file as:
var url = $("#RedirectTo").val();
location.href = url;
It worked like a charm fro me. I hope it helps you too.

You can use:
window.location.href = '/Branch/Details/' + id;
But your Ajax code is incomplete without success or error functions.

// in the HTML code I used some razor
#Html.Hidden("RedirectTo", Url.Action("Action", "Controller"));
// now down in the script I do this
<script type="text/javascript">
var url = $("#RedirectTo").val();
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax({
dataType: 'json',
type: 'POST',
url: '/Controller/Action',
success: function (result) {
if (result.UserFriendlyErrMsg === 'Some Message') {
// display a prompt
alert("Message: " + result.UserFriendlyErrMsg);
// redirect us to the new page
location.href = url;
}
$('#friendlyMsg').html(result.UserFriendlyErrMsg);
}
});
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function lnkLogout_Confirm()
{
var bResponse = confirm('Are you sure you want to exit?');
if (bResponse === true) {
////console.log("lnkLogout_Confirm clciked.");
var url = '#Url.Action("Login", "Login")';
window.location.href = url;
}
return bResponse;
}
</script>

check the code below this will be helpful for you:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.opener.location.href = '#Url.Action("Action", "EventstController")', window.close();
</script>
