I have a asp.net mvc form and i want to submit it to same page via get method, it's used for search purpose.
The url is mapped with route key value id.
#using (#Html.BeginForm("Contact", "Home",FormMethod.Get))
{
#Html.TextBox("id", null,
new
{
type = "time"
}
);
<input type="submit" />
}
When the form is generated the action attribute is containing the key value like /Home/Contact/myname.
Here myname is value of id present in url.
When form is submitted value key value for id is getting appended to URL like
http://localhost:57247/Home/Contact/myname?id=11%3A11
The action method is reading myname value instead of 11%3A11.
Action Method:
public ActionResult Contact(string id)
{
ViewBag.Message = id;
return View();
}
It's working fine with post method.
How to fix this?
replace #Html.BeginForm("Contact", "Home",FormMethod.Get)
with #Html.BeginForm()
By default forms are sent to same url they are rendered on and default method is get.
#Html.BeginForm() by default produces a METHOD="POST"
As for your parameter you might want to name it differently.
Default Mvc route is configured like this
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Depending on mvc version it can be in global.asax or App_Start\routeconfig.cs
So your "MyName" in url perfectly matches default id parameter and it has higher priority than query string parameters.
If you name your parameter differently (not id).
Change it to "q" for example in action and in view.
Your URLs will change to /Home/Contact?q=myname and everything should start working as expected.
Now you say that you want a solution with url mapping.
So you have to figure out for yourself what url scheme you want.
If you have a form and want it to post to /home/contact/myname?id=notyourname, than you have a conflict which to solve you will have to somehow change binding priorities in mvc.
Now you can inspect querystring on your own in your action and figure out new id passed without binding. After that you can return RedirectToAction("Contact", new{id = figuredId}) and the url in browser will be what you want it to be.
You can change the query parameter name and have your action recieve 2 parameters
public ActionResult Contact(string id, string q){
if (!string.IsNullOrWhitespace(q)){
return RedirectToAction("Contact",new{id=q});
}
}
To send request to /Home/Contact you should use #Html.BeginForm("Contact","Home",new{id=null}, FormMethod.Get)

The application manages requests. There is a ActionLink that should pass in the id of a request so it can be reset. The correct controller/action is called, but the request ID is always null.
If I change the last parameter of the custom route (shown below) to id="TEST", then "TEST" gets passed into the function - so I know the correct route is selected.
In controller BrowseController.cs
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult ResetRequest(string id )
{
return View();
}
In View BrowseRequests.cshtml there is a link to reset a request
#Html.ActionLink(
"Reset",
"ResetRequest",
"Browse",
new {id = item.RS_RequestID.ToString() });
I've tried the default routing in RouteConfig.cs, and then tried inserting the following before the default.
routes.MapRoute(
name:"ResetRequest",
url:"Browse/ResetRequest/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Browse",
action = "ResetRequest",
id=UrlParameter.Optional});
The correct overload for your ActionLink would be
HtmlHelper.ActionLink(string linkText,string actionName,string ControllerName, object routeValues, object htmlAttributes);
so you are missing object htmlAttributes which you can pass as null
#Html.ActionLink("Reset","ResetRequest","Browse", new {id = item.RS_RequestID.ToString() }, null);
The order of the values you pass into ActionLink is not correct
use action, controller, routevalues , htmlArguments
Your first argument should be ResetRequest
Your suggestion resulted in a "resource not found" error. It did get me thinking that perhaps I was using the incorrect signature for the ActionLink.
I found an override that did not specify the controller - just the action.
This is what worked for my purposes
#Html.ActionLink(
"Reset",
"ResetRequest",
new { id = item.RS_RequestID.ToString() });
I am struggling to get my code work, but I think I've read enough to suggest this is the correct way to approach this.
On my intranet, I'd like the user to type in a single word to search into a textbox, and check a checkbox. When the new page loads, I'd like the URL rewritting services of ASP.NET MVC to kick in and change a value from
mysite.com/?id=blah&isChecked=true
to
mysite.com/home/index/blah/true
My code isn't working in the sense of it gives no error, but doesn't do what I am explaining. So, I've removed the check box to just focus on the textbox.
My only route is
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{MyType}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", MyType = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
My Controller
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Modify this";
return View();
}
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index(string MyType)
{
ViewBag.Message = "..." + MyType;
return View();
}
and my View has
#using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home",FormMethod.Get))
{
<input name="MyType" /><br />
<input type="submit" />
}
#Html.ActionLink("Click me", "Index", new { #MyType = "Blah" }) //renders correctly
The problem is, it shows the querystring still in the address bar
mysite.com/?MyType=MySearchValue
instead of
mysite.com/Home/Index/MySearchValue
You can't do this purely with routing because the browser will always send form values as query string parameters when they are part of a GET request. Once the request has been sent to the server, the MVC framework can't do anything about the URL that was used.
This leaves you with only one real option (assuming you don't want to send a custom request using JavaScript), which is to explicitly redirect to the desired URL (meaning you will always have two requests when this form is submitted).
The simplest way of doing this is simply in the controller (rather, in a separate controller to ensure that there is no conflict in method signatures):
public class FormController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index(string MyType)
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "MyProperController", new { MyType });
}
}
If you direct your form to this controller action, MVC will then use the routing engine to generate the proper URL for the real action and redirect the browser accordingly.
You could do this from the same controller action but it would involve inspecting the request URL to check whether a query string was used or not and redirecting back to the same action, which is a little odd.
With ASP.NET MVC, I want to call action of controller on Button Click from JQuery.
Controller:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /Home/
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult PersonInfo(string name, string city)
{
// other code for assign ViewData
return View();
}
}
I have two textBox and one Button in Index.chtml page. I want to display Url like 'http://localhost:2526/PersonName'. for city I want optional perameter and don't want in Url. so, I mapped route as below:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"PersonInfo", // Route name
"{name}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "PersonInfo", name= "" , city = ""} // Parameter defaults
From browser if I enter Url like 'http://localhot:2526/John' then PersonInfo view displayed successfully.
I visited link related my question. But I also want to pass parameters.
Anyone help me How can I call action on button click from JQuery.
you can pass parameters as query string for example:
$('#buttonId').click(function(){
document.location =
'#Url.Action("MyAction","MyController")'+'?'+'parameterToSend = #value';
});
your link will be like
MyController/MyAction?parameterToSend=value
You want to add the paramaters inside the Url.Action Method to avoid the / at the end of your host.
#Url.Action("PersonInfo","Home" , new {name=Model.Name, city=Model.City })
//I believe this will look at your routes and generate localhost:2526/John/JohnsCity
Are your paramaters part of your model? If so the above will work. If not than you can use 1AmirJalali answer but replace the / before appending the paramaters since if they paramaters are not part of your model then they are probably coming via javascript variables.
I have an MVC3 view with a form and i want to pass in a parameter via query string. Heres my form
#using (Html.BeginForm("LogOn", "Account", new { db = #Request.QueryString["db"] }, FormMethod.Post))
Heres my Controller
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult LogOn(LogOnModel model,string db)
When I click my Login button, and step through the code, the param db is null. Im passing it in like this:
http://localhost:64632/?db=someValue
My route looks like this:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{db}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Account", action = "LogOn", db = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
What am i doing wrong?
Your route is expecting db to be a token in the url:
http://localhost:64632/Account/LogOn/someValue
You could grab the value from the querystring in your controller and store the db parameter in a ViewBag and it will be available on your form.
If that's the only route you have, then presumably the page you're currently on looks like "/controller/action/dbValue". In this case,
#Request.QueryString["db"]
won't fetch anything because db is a route value, it's not part of the query string. You could use
#ViewContext.RouteData.Values["db"]
instead.
It works. I am doing the same thing. I can retrieve the query string values on a http post: Request["queryparametername"]
well, this is a get method link : "http://localhost:64632/?db=someValue"
and you used the HttpPost attribute.
I've got the default routing:
routes.MapRoute(
"Shortie", // Route name
"{controller}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Ettan", action = "Index", id = "id" } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Ettan", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
I've got a controller: NewsController. It has one method, like this:
public ActionResult Index(int id)
{
...
}
If I browse to /News/Index/123, it works. /News/123 works. However, /News/Index?id=123 does not (it can't find any method named "index" where id is allowed to be null). So I seem to be lacking some understanding on how the routing and modelbinder works together.
The reason for asking is that I want to have a dropdown with different news sources, with parameter "id". So I can select one news source (for instance "sport", id = 123) and it should be routed to my index method. But I can't seem to get that to work.
The ASP.NET MVC Routing works using reflection. It will look inside the controller for a method matching the pattern you are defining in your routes. If it can't find one...well you've seen what happens.
So the answer is (as posted in the comments) to change the type of your id parameter to a Nullable<int> i.e. int?.
