Pass parameter from View to controller MVC 4

I want to pass selected value of dropdownlist from view to controller in html.BeginForm in MVC 4.
I can pass value of query string, but I have no idea about how to pass selected value of dropdownlist.
All suggestions are most welcome.
Here is my code attached
<form>
<fieldset class="form-group" id="ddl2">
<label for="exampleSelect1">Section Type:</label>
#(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
.Name("ddlsection")
.DataTextField("Name")
.DataValueField("Id")
.OptionLabel("--Select--")
.DataSource(source =>
{
source.Read(read =>
{
read.Action("GetSectionType", "LookUp");
});
})
.Events(e => e.Change("onChange_ddlsection"))
.HtmlAttributes(new { #class = "form-control" })
)
</fieldset>
</form>
<div class="WordClass">
#using (Html.BeginForm("GetConditionListingInWord", "Inspection", new { sectionId = 'What should be here?' }, FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
<input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="" class="WordClassA tooltipSource" title='Print List in MS-Word format' data-placement='bottom' data-toggle='tooltip' />
}
</div>
I want 'ddlsection' dropdown's selected value in 'What should be here?' section.

You can pass Kendo Dropdownlist's selected value to the Controller using Ajax call and then redirect to another Action if you want as shown below:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
//Returns Dropdownlist's selected values to the Controller
$("#btnSubmit").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var data = {
ProjectID: $('#ProjectID').val(), //parameter I
IssueID: $('#IssueID').val() //parameter II
}
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/Controller/Action",
cache: false,
data: JSON.stringify(data),
dataType: this.dataType,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
// Variable data contains the data you get from the action method
window.location = "/Controller/OtherAction/" + data
},
error: function (data) {
$("#error_message").html(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>

For that you have to make AJAX call to your controler method
var userModel = {
RoleId: $("#drpRoleId").data("kendoDropDownList").value(),
}
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("AddEditUser","User")',
type: 'POST',
data: JSON.stringify(userModel),
async: true,
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
success: function (data) {
}
});

Delete all checked element in list

I display a list of element from a list, and I have to display a checkbox in front of each element, and then delete all checked element, I wrote a jquery code for do this but it removes just the first element checked, how I should do to remove all checked items
<button type="submit" class="btn fsc-btn-3" id="AllDelete">
<i class=" fa fa-check"></i>
<span>#Labels.Global_DeleteSelection</span>
</button>
#foreach (var item in Model.FilesList)
{
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="checkFile" id="checkFile" value="#item.FileId" /></td>
<td>#item.ArrivalTime</td>
<td>#Model.TraitementDate(item.FileId)</td>
<td>#item.Name</td>
<td>#item.FileType</td>
<td>
<label class="proj-label-1 proj-label-size-1 proj-status-5" title="#item.State">
<i class="fa fa-check-circle"></i>
<span>#item.State</span>
</label>
</td>
<td >#item.NumAlertRecords</td>
<td>#item.NumRejectedRecords</td>
<td >#item.NumAcceptedRecords</td>
}
jQuery code:
(function(jQuery) {
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('#AllDelete').click("click", function() {
jQuery('input[type="checkbox"]').each(function() {
if (jQuery(this).is(':checked')) {
alert(jQuery("#checkFile").val());
jQuery.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("DeleteMultiCredit", "DeleteCredit")',
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: { FileId: jQuery("#checkFile").val() },
success: function (data) { }
})
}
});
});
});
})(jQuery);
Controller :
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult DeleteMultiCredit(int FileId)
{
DeleteCreditModel model = new DeleteCreditModel();
model.Delete(FileId);
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

Try this : first of all you cannot use same id for all checkbox, so either generate unique ids for each one or remove id attribute
#foreach (var item in Model.FilesList)
{
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="checkFile" value="#item.FileId" /></td>
<td>#item.ArrivalTime</td>
<td>#Model.TraitementDate(item.FileId)</td>
<td>#item.Name</td>
<td>#item.FileType</td>
<td>
<label class="proj-label-1 proj-label-size-1 proj-status-5" title="#item.State">
<i class="fa fa-check-circle"></i>
<span>#item.State</span>
</label></td>
<td >#item.NumAlertRecords</td>
<td>#item.NumRejectedRecords</td>
<td >#item.NumAcceptedRecords</td>
}
now use $(this).val() to get value of each checkbox instead of using id of checkbox to read value
jQuery(function () {
jQuery('#AllDelete').click("click", function () {
//you can use :checked directly in selector, so if condition not required
jQuery('input[type="checkbox"]:checked').each(function() {
alert(jQuery(this).val());
jQuery.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("DeleteMultiCredit", "DeleteCredit")',
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: { FileId: jQuery(this).val() },//read your value here
success: function (data) {
}
});
});
});
})(jQuery);

Use jQuery(this) instead of jQuery("#checkFile")
Just like this :
(function(jQuery) {
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('#AllDelete').click("click", function() {
jQuery('input[type="checkbox"]').each(function() {
if (jQuery(this).is(':checked')) {
alert(jQuery(this).val());
jQuery.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("DeleteMultiCredit", "DeleteCredit")',
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: { FileId: jQuery(this).val() },
success: function (data) { }
})
}
});
});
});
})(jQuery);

try below code
jQuery(function () {
jQuery('#AllDelete').click(function () {
jQuery('input[type="checkbox"]').each(function() {
if(this.checked){
alert(jQuery("#checkFile").val());
jQuery.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("DeleteMultiCredit", "DeleteCredit")',
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: { FileId: jQuery(this).val() },
success: function (data) { }
})
}
});
});
});
})(jQuery);

Getting parameters for a Json controller method

I'm trying to get and pass my ViewModel to my Json method doing the stuff like this :
In my view :
<input type="button" id="suggestionBtn" title="Suggestion" onclick ="location.href='#Url.Action("GetNextAppointment", "Home", new { svm = Model })'" />
In my Controller :
public JsonResult GetNextAppointment(SuggestionViewModel svm)
{
return Json(svm, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
//this is just for testing
}
While debugging, I found out that my svm is null. I tried to replace it by a string parameter and hard coding the value in my view and this works. So, I don't know very much where is the problem.
Any idea guys?
EDIT : Code edited to use jQuery AJAX
My view's now like this :
#model AstellasSchedulerV2.Models.SuggestionViewModel
<div class="rightPanel">
#using (Html.BeginForm("NewAppointment", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { #id = "form_ValidateAppointment" }))
{
#Html.Hidden("stringParam","")
<fieldset>
<div>
Patch Anti-douleur Corps #Html.CheckBoxFor(s => s.PADC, new { #class = "checkbox", #id = "chbxPADC" })
</div>
<br />
<div>
Patch Anti-douleur Pied #Html.CheckBoxFor(s => s.PADP, new { #class = "checkbox", #id = "chbxPADP" })
</div>
<br />
Click me
</fieldset>
}
</div>
<script type ="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#ClickMe").click(function () {
var o = new Object();
o.PADC = $("#chbxPADC").val();
o.PADP = $("#chbxPADP").val();
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("GetJson")",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: JSON.stringify(o),
success: function (data) { alert(data.PADC); },
failure: function (errMsg) { alert(errMsg); }
});
});
</script>

Here goes the solution, Lets say you have your viewmodel this way -
public class SuggestionViewModel
{
public bool PADC { get; set; }
public bool PADP { get; set; }
}
Then you have a View in the following way. Here I used JQuery to make a POST request to GetJson Controller Action. I constructed a JavaScript Object and then serialized it to Json. Then finally passed the Json string to Controller Action.
<fieldset>
<div>
Patch Anti-douleur Corps #Html.CheckBoxFor(s => s.PADC, new { #class = "checkbox", #id = "chbxPADC" })
</div>
<br />
<div>
Patch Anti-douleur Pied #Html.CheckBoxFor(s => s.PADP, new { #class = "checkbox", #id = "chbxPADP" })
</div>
<br />
</fieldset>
This is the JQuery part -
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#ClickMe").click(function () {
var chk = $('#chbxPADC').is(':checked');
var chk1 = $('#chbxPADP').is(':checked');
var o = new Object();
o.PADP = chk1;
o.PADC = chk;
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("GetJson")",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: JSON.stringify(o),
success: function (data) { alert(data.PADP); },
failure: function (errMsg) { alert(errMsg); }
});
});
});
</script>
Click me
And when you click the button, it will hit following controller -
public JsonResult GetJson(SuggestionViewModel svm)
{
return Json(svm, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
And when you inspect the parameter using breakpoint, you will have parameters passed -
And as the response, you will have following output -

You can't post complex objects as parameter.
If you want to get json result, you should call an ajax request.
You should post your model in an ajax request. (you can use jquery .ajax metod), because you cant get values from controller action metod if you use location.href

Pass ID in Html.ActionLink via ajax to get partial view

I have an MVC View page, strongly-typed to an enumerated product list. Each list item has an Html.ActionLink with a unique id. In my jquery file, I have an $.ajax function which should process the link with the corresponding id . The intent is to load a partial view on the same page, with that item's information, to allow editing for whatever item has been clicked. I don't want the actionr to result in a separate page, or generate a post to the server.
// here is the MVC stuff
#model IEnumerable<SimpleAjax.Models.Product>
#foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Name)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Price)
</td>
<td>
#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "ShowEdit", "Home", new { id=item.Id } ,new { id = "btnShowEdit" + item.Id, #class= ".button_action"})
|
</td>
</tr>
}
<div id="showEditProd">
</div>
//inside controller
public ActionResult ShowEdit(int id)
{
Product prod = db.Product.Find(id);
ProductViewModel viewModel = new ProductViewModel
{
EditProduct = prod
};
return PartialView(viewModel);
}
//inside a separate partial view page
#model SimpleAjax.Models.ProductViewModel
#using (Html.BeginForm("Index_AddItem", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "fid" }))
{
<div>
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.EditProduct.Name)
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.EditProduct.Name)
</div>
<div>
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.EditProduct.Price)
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.EditProduct.Price)
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</div>
}
now below works as expected, when I have hardcoded IDs:
$('#btnShowEdit1,#btnShowEdit2,#btnShowEdit3').click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: this.href,
contentType: 'application/html; charset=utf-8',
type: 'GET',
success: function (result) {
$('#showEditProd').html(result);
}
});
return false;
});
The above jquery works as desired. The partial view gets loaded on the same page as enumerated list. But obviously I don't want to hardcode variables. I may have x number of #btnShowEdit. I want to utilize a class, correct? So I have ".button_action" class that will enumerate the Id. But when I do that, as below, the link navigates to a separate page.
these go to a separate page, not what I want
$('.button_action').click(function (index) {
$.ajax({
url: this.href,
contentType: 'application/html; charset=utf-8',
type: 'GET',
success: function (result) {
$('#showEditProd').html(result);
}
});
return false;
});
});
//also tried this...
$('.button_action').each(function (index) {
$('#btnShowEdit' + index).click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: this.href,
contentType: 'application/html; charset=utf-8',
type: 'GET',
success: function (result) {
$('#showEditProd').html(result);
}
});
return false;
});
});
I know there's gotta be a simple solution.Thanks for your help in advance.

Any specific reason for not using the Ajax HTML-helper?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.ajax.ajaxextensions.actionlink(v=vs.108).aspx
You can use it as an actionlink, but it is done async and the result can be placed in your showEditProd.
#Ajax.ActionLink("Action",
"Controller",
_YOURID_,
new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "GET",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
UpdateTargetId = "showEditProd",
OnComplete = "your_js_function();" })

In case anyone else needs the solution to the above... It was too simple to believe.The jquery ajax code does not need an id htmlattribute from the Html.ActionLink. In fact, this extra attribute is what was causing the trouble. The jquery ajax recognizes the id from the "this.href' as that is the route controller along with the id parameter. Therefore I removed the id from htmlattributes in the actionlink. Now it's working as expected.
#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "ShowEdit", "Home", new { id=item.Id } ,new { #class= ".button_action"})
in js file
$('.button_action').click(function (index) {
$.ajax({
url: this.href,
contentType: 'application/html; charset=utf-8',
type: 'GET',
success: function (result) {
$('#showEditProd').html(result);
}
});
return false;
});
});

Check this:
$('.button_action').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault() // this prevent default behavior for hyperlink on 'click' event

Jquery Post not reaching MVC Controller

Apologies if this i trivial, i have read many other comments and still cannot see what is wrong. I have done a few tutorials and they seem to work ok, so I am really missing something simple.
I have a basic 'remove' link that i want to do a JQuery Post back to the controller to remove an item from the database and then update the view.
My View / Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$(".RemoveLink").click(function () {
var id = $(this).attr("data-id");
if (id != '') {
$.post("#Url.Content("~/Agent/Remove")", { "id": id }, function (data) { alert('Here i am'); });
}
});
});
#foreach (var item in Model.Object) {
<tr id="row-#item.ID">
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Description)
</td>
<td>
<a href="#" class="RemoveLink" data-id="#item.ID" >Remove</a>
</td>
</tr>
}
My Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Remove(int id)
{
return Json(new { Data = "true" });
}
Any assistance will be great.

Use #Url.Action("Remove", "Agent") instead.
#Url.Content("...") is used to locate any static content of the site.
Cheers

Below code works well.
#foreach (var item in Model.Object) {
<tr id="row-#item.ID">
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Description)
</td>
<td>
<input type="button" class="RemoveLink" id="#item.ID" Value="Remove" />
</td>
</tr>
}
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.RemoveLink').live("click", function () {
Remove($(this));
});
});
function Remove(_this) {
var Id= $(_this).attr('id');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Action("Remove", "Agent")',
data: "{id: '" + Id + "'}",
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
//do something here......
},
error: function () {
}
});
}
</script>
