Calling a controller Action Result method from view with an actionlink

I'm new to MVC and still figuring out how everything works. Currently, I am trying to call a method that is in my controller from my view but I'm not sure the best way to go about this. Here is my SalesOrdersController method that I want to run.
public ActionResult revertToPending(int? id)
{
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
SalesOrder salesOrder = db.SalesOrders.Find(id);
if (salesOrder == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
ViewBag.statusList = new List<Object>
{
new {value = SOStatus.Pending, text = "Pending" },
new {value = SOStatus.Released, text = "Released" },
new {value = SOStatus.Released, text = "Shipped" },
new {value = SOStatus.BackOrdered, text = "Back Ordered" },
new {value = SOStatus.Cancelled, text = "Cancelled" },
};
return View(salesOrder);
}
Here is my view
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.SalesOrderStatus, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.SalesOrderStatus, new SelectList(ViewBag.statusList, "value", "text"), new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.SalesOrderStatus, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
#Html.ActionLink("Revert to Pending", "revertToPending", "SalesOrder")
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.BillingStatus, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EnumDropDownListFor(model => model.BillingStatus, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.BillingStatus, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Details, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Details, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Details, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn" />
</div>
</div>
And I want that to run when the user presses a button from the view.
So something like this
#Html.ActionLink("Revert to Pending", "revertToPending", "SalesOrder" )
I know that I'm doing it wrong as I don't want it to lead to the revertToPending View as it doesn't exist. But I want that controller method to run when the link is pressed.
Thanks

Using AspNetUsers.Id in a form

What I'm wanting is for a person to register (using existing register page) then get directed to a form where their AspNetUsers.Id = UserId (on my CreateProfile page). CreateProfile is the page you are directed to when you have successfully registered. As you can see in the image in the address bar you can see the user id but it won't appear in the input box.
AccountController
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email };
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
await SignInManager.SignInAsync(user, isPersistent:false, rememberBrowser:false);
// Registered user is given the applicant role by default
UserManager.AddToRole(user.Id, "Applicant");
// For more information on how to enable account confirmation and password reset please visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=320771
// Send an email with this link
// string code = await UserManager.GenerateEmailConfirmationTokenAsync(user.Id);
// var callbackUrl = Url.Action("ConfirmEmail", "Account", new { userId = user.Id, code = code }, protocol: Request.Url.Scheme);
// await UserManager.SendEmailAsync(user.Id, "Confirm your account", "Please confirm your account by clicking here");
ViewBag.UserId = user.Id;
//return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
return RedirectToAction("CreateProfile", new { controller = "Admin", UserId = user.Id });
}
AddErrors(result);
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}

Controller Action

you have two main problems:
In Register action you pass userId value using ViewBag and later use RedirectToAction. You cannot use ViewBag for this scenario, because value will loss. Check here
You don't assign UserId value on input box [CreateProfile view].
To solve it:
Capture UserId value in CreateProfile Get Action and later assign in ViewBag to pass value to View. Two forms:
a. Use MVC bind, set a variable:
// Get: Admin/CreateProfile
public ActionResult CreateProfile(string UserId) // <== here
{
ViewBag.UserId = UserId;
return View();
}
b. Use request object to get value.
// Get: Admin/CreateProfile
public ActionResult CreateProfile()
{
ViewBag.UserId = Request.Params["UserId"]; // <== here
return View();
}
Optional: you could save UserId value using Session Object in Register Action. Maybe I would like this because avoid before code. Check here.
Finally assign UserId value on input box in CreateProfile view using #Value:
new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control", #Value=
ViewBag.UserId }
I.E:
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserId, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserId, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control", #Value= ViewBag.UserId } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserId, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>

Closed 4 years ago.
I'm new to C# and I'm coding a web site in witch I need to insert multiple data in a row inside my database. some of the data will be set automatically and the others from form. here is my controller part:
public ActionResult chekout()
{
return View(new Commande());
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult chekout([Bind(Include = "Id_commande,prenom,nom,Adresse,telephone,Email,produit,prix,cart")] Commande commande)
{
var panier = from Panier in db.Paniers
select Panier;
var userEmail = this.User.Identity.Name;
panier = panier.Where(x => x.user.Contains(userEmail));
Panier[] pa = panier.ToArray();
List<Commande> list = new List<Commande>();
for (int i = 0; i < pa.Length; i++)
{
commande.Id_commande = db.Commandes.Max(I => I.Id_commande) + 1;
commande.produit = pa[i].Quantite + " X " + pa[i].nom_produit;
commande.prix = int.Parse(pa[i].prix) * pa[i].Quantite;
commande.Email = userEmail;
list.Add(commande);
}
db.Commandes.AddRange(list);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("order_complete", "Home");
}
and this is my view part:
#using(Html.BeginForm())

I do not get error but I don't know why but it just adds the last row
so if anyone can help me I would be grateful.

You are adding the same commande object repeatedly in the loop, you need to instantiate new object commande in every iteration. You need to add the first line in loop below, please do change the variable name "commande" if a same name exist at class level.
for (int i = 0; i < pa.Length; i++)
{
Commande commande = new Commande ();
commande.Id_commande = db.Commandes.Max(I => I.Id_commande) + 1;
commande.produit = pa[i].Quantite + " X " + pa[i].nom_produit;
commande.prix = int.Parse(pa[i].prix) * pa[i].Quantite;
commande.Email = userEmail;
list.Add(commande);
}

ViewModel's parameters are null in postback

I know that the question was asked and answered many times, but unfortunately no one of the answers helped me.
I have tree POCO models, which are Pharmacy, Address and Company gathered together into a ViewModel PharmacyVM:
public class PharmacyVM
{
public Pharmacy pharmacyProp { get; set; }
public Address addressProp { get; set; }
public Company companyProp { get; set; }
public int CityId { get; set; }
public PharmacyVM()
{
pharmacyProp = new Pharmacy();
addressProp = new Address();
companyProp = new Company();
}
}
Don't laugh at the properties names; at the start, they had been normal (Address, Company and Pharmacy) I changed them according to one of the lots of answers in here, but... it didn't help :(
In the Get action of the Create method I'm trying to manually create the PharmacyVM object and pass it to the view:
public ActionResult Create()
{
ViewBag.CityId = new SelectList(db.Cities, "Id", "Name");
ViewBag.CompanyId = new SelectList(db.Companies, "Id", "Name");
ViewBag.AddressId = new SelectList(db.Addresses, "Id", "Name");
ViewBag.CityId = new SelectList(db.Cities, "Id", "Name");
ViewBag.RegionId = new SelectList(db.Regions, "Id", "Name");
ViewBag.DistrictId = new SelectList(db.Districts, "Id", "Name");
ViewBag.MicrodistrictId = new SelectList(db.Microdistricts, "Id", "Name");
ViewBag.StreetId = new SelectList(db.Streets, "Id", "Name");
ViewBag.VillageId = new SelectList(db.Villages, "Id", "Name");
var pharmacyVM = new PharmacyVM();
return View(pharmacyVM);
}
There is a standard Razor code in the view:
#model MEDONET.Models.PharmacyVM
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}

And then in the Post action of the Create method, I'm trying to create b and c variables:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create(PharmacyVM model, HttpPostedFileBase LargeImageFile)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
string LargeImageFileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(LargeImageFile.FileName);
string LargeImageExtansion = Path.GetExtension(LargeImageFile.FileName);
LargeImageFileName = LargeImageFileName + DateTime.Now.ToString("yymmssfff") + LargeImageExtansion;
LargeImageFileName = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Images/Pharmacy/Banners/"), LargeImageFileName);
int b = model.CityId;
int c = model.addressProp.RegionId.Value;
//Address address = new Address()
//{
// Id = 12,//db.Addresses.AsEnumerable().Last().Id + 1,
// RegionId = PharmacyVM.Address.RegionId,
// DistrictId = PharmacyVM.Address.DistrictId,
// CityId = PharmacyVM.Address.CityId,
// MicrodistrictId = PharmacyVM.Address.MicrodistrictId,
// StreetId = PharmacyVM.Address.StreetId,
// VillageId = PharmacyVM.Address.VillageId,
// Building = PharmacyVM.Address.Building,
// Cab = PharmacyVM.Address.Cab
//};
//Address address = new Address
//{
// Id = 12,//db.Addresses.AsEnumerable().Last().Id + 1,
// RegionId = 1,
// DistrictId = 1,
// CityId = 1,
// MicrodistrictId = 1,
// StreetId = 1,
// VillageId = 1,
// Building = "1",
// Cab = "1"
//};
//db.Addresses.Add(address);
db.SaveChanges();
var pharmacy = new Pharmacy
{
Name = model.pharmacyProp.Name,
//AddressId = address.Id,
IsGov = model.pharmacyProp.IsGov,
CompanyId = model.pharmacyProp.CompanyId,
LargeImage = "~/Images/Pharmacy/Banners/" + LargeImageFileName
};
LargeImageFile.SaveAs(LargeImageFileName);
db.Pharmacies.Add(pharmacy);
db.SaveChanges();
ModelState.Clear();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
}
Unlike first variable b, the second one c is gonna be null because the addressProp property is null.
So why is it so strange? How can I use ViewModel without duplicating original model's fields?

why are you use
int b= model.addressProp.RegionId.Value
instead of
int b=model.addressProp.RegionId
Even for your good cording the best and good way is remove all View bag and
Add all View bag properties to PharmacyVM Class
Dont use two properties for view binding
Example
public class PharmacyVM
{
public Pharmacy pharmacyProp { get; set; }
public Address addressProp { get; set; }
public Company companyProp { get; set; }
public int CityId { get; set; }
public SelectList CityIdList { get; set; }
public PharmacyVM()
{
pharmacyProp = new Pharmacy();
addressProp = new Address();
companyProp = new Company();
CityIdList =new SelectList(db.Cities, "Id", "Name");
}
}
public ActionResult Create()
{
var pharmacyVM = new PharmacyVM();
return View(pharmacyVM);
}
#model PharmacyVM
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.CityId )
<div class="editor-label">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Name)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Name)
</div>
<button type="submit">Create</button>
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(PharmacyVM model)
{
int c = model.addressProp
return View(viewModel);
}

Multiple posts on a single page asp.net MVC with partial views

We've got a page which currently contains a four or five partial views, but is something that could grow. At the moment, there's two POST actions, for two entirely different database functions.
If we try doing the create function on another, the redirect then results in an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error, which is then relating to the other POST partial view.
Is there a way to stop this? Essentially, it seems to me that the post for one partial view is trying to interact with the other. Any ideas?
Thanks
