View 2 RepliesWhats the difference between Url.Action and Html.RenderActionLink in asp.net mvc?
View 1 RepliesI have a Microsoft MVC project with an action "Foo" whose view ("Foo.aspx") contains the lines:
<%= Html.ActionLink("mylinktext1", "bar") %>
<%= Html.ActionLink<MyController>(x => x.Bar(), "mylinktext2") %>
When I hit this from a web browser or load it from an AJAX call, it properly returns:
<a href="/bar">mylinktext1</a>
<a href="/Bar">mylinktext2</a>
But when I call the action from another view like this:
<% Html.RenderAction<MyController>(x => x.Foo()); %>
Then the links are rendered without targets.
<a href="">mylinktext1</a>
<a href="">mylinktext2</a>
Why would this be happening, and how do I work around it?
It's a little unclear for me on when to use a custom helper method and when to use RenderAction and also when to simply use ViewData instead. Some of their functions overlap slightly.
For example, if I were to create a Category navigation bar, would I create a new helper method and place that in some partial view? I had initially though of doing this, but I read on some blog to use RenderAction instead.
Assume the list of categories is coming from some data source.
Whats the difference between Html.Partial and Html.RenderPartial?
[Code]....
im extending the htmlhelper. but it i cannot call the renderaction of it.
using System.Text;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Mvc.Html;
public static class ViewHelpers
{
public static string Text(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string name, object value, bool isEditMode)
{
htmlHelper.RenderAction(...) //cannot be called
}
}
how can i call the RenderAction?
I am working in an environment with many teams who are responsible for specific content on pages. Each team is sharing specific information (common class libraries, and master pages) that each are going deliver different types of content.Is it possible for an MVC application to do something similar to RenderPartial and pass a model to another MVC application Controller/Action to return content?
So the code for this might look like:
(http://www.mydomain.com/Home/Index)
<% Html.RenderAction("ads.mydomain.com", "Home", "Index", AdModel) %>
Maybe this is not a good idea as another thread has to spin up to server a partial view?
After rendering a view on a Post, a call to RenderAction inside the view will call for the Post method. Is there any way to specify I want to call the Get method instead of the Post?
View 1 RepliesIn my Site.Master View, I have the following line:
[Code]....
If I don't include the string identifying the Controller to use, I get an error stating that the PrimaryNavigation method couldn't be found in the Home Controller. Since the Site.Master View is in the Shared Views folder, I would have thought that the Shared Controller would have been used.
I get an HttpException (details below) after installing Visual Studio 2010 Pro RTM in an application developed using Visual Studio 2010 RC. The platform used was ASP.NET MVC2 RTW (already under VS10 RC).
I first uninstalled all RC software and even ASP.NET MVC 2, and then did a "clean" install of VS10 RTM. The ASP.NET MVC 2 version now installed on my dev machine is 2.0.50217.0.
Exception Message: Error executing child request for handler 'System.Web.Mvc.HttpHandlerUtil+ServerExecuteHttpHandlerAsyncWrapper'.
InnerException Message: <FilePath>ViewsLanguageRenderLanguageNavigation.ascx(6): error BC30451: 'Model' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
The error occurs on this "Html.RenderAction":
[Code]....
The "LanguageController" just calls into another service function as below:

Does anybody have an idea what is causing the problem?
Edit:
By the way, I might also share the actual view (partial view) that would show the languages to select from:

I've been using Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") to invoke child actions across controllers without needing to have the view in ViewsShared. This has been working great for displaying things like session or cookie information.
Instead of just accessing cookies, I would like to pass additional parameters to Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") so the action can execute different code based on the the data passed to the original view.
Should I be using a different method to pass parameters to a child action in a different controller?
Let's say there is a textbox and a dropdownlist in mainview page, these two values are used by three partial views as well. when I use Html.RenderAction to post action to those three partial views, how to pass these two values to those partial views and in those views how to get these two values as a part of a object to send to database.
View 10 RepliesI am trying to understand the difference between a RenderPartial and RenderAction. I guess that RenderPartial is like a UserControl and RenderAction is like a server-side include.
View 3 RepliesI'm struggling with renderaction, the problem is that it calls the wrong action method on my controller.On my "Users" controller there are two action methods called edit, one for get and one for post requests:
public virtual ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
//return a view for editing the user
[code]...
So I have a form with a text area on it, and I need to post it. I can't encode it (as far as I know) client side, prior to submit, and it causes the yellow screen of death before reaching the HttpPost action handler.
View 4 RepliesI'm building a menu controller class and I have a database with the Controller/Action strings in it. I want to dynamically build a menu reading from the database and generating the URLs to use in the menu's <a href=''> HTML that the class renders. I can't use Html.Action() in my class. I've tried adding System. Web.Mvc, but this doesn't help. Is there a way to generate a page's URL when given the Controller and Action? Maybe referencing the MVC equivalant of HttpContext.Current like I used to do in WebForms?

View 4 RepliesIn the view I have a HTML button:
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
Also I have a dropdownlist, how do I call the controller's action after I click the "Submit" button?
And how do I pass the Model back to the controller action as well?
The reason I want to pass back the model (or other object/class) to controller's action is I might have 5 dropdown lists and 3 edit boxes values to be sent as parameters. So I would like to assign these parameters into a object and send it back to controller's action.
I have an editable table in my view.
how can i accept the whole table in a controller action method?
what parameter should i gave to accept the whole table
