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?
I'm trying to implement paging in my app, so i need to know what page the user wants to click on, as well as pass the model (for some fields)I'm able to pass the desired page, just not the model (for the search criteria)here is my view:
[Code]....
Heres my Controller Action
[Code]....
My ViewModel SearchResults has a string property "Search". When i do it this way searchModel == null in the NextPage Action.
Is there any possibility to pass values of form elements to action methods but using parameters?I have a form with a lot of input fields and the method signature will get pretty long. Besides the form elements depend on each other so if the user makes a special choice only a subset of the form elements should be displayed so there are several combinationof values to be passed.Can I access the posted values in a generic way through a collection in the controller or something similar?
I think I need to drop in some escape characters, but I'm not quite sure where. Here is the javascript function I'm attempting to call:
function setData(associateValue, reviewDateValue) { var associate = document.getElementById("Associate"); var reviewDate = document.getElementById("ReviewDate"); associate.value = associateValue; reviewDate.value = reviewDateValue; }
Here is the asp .net mvc line where I'm attempting to create a Radio button with a click event that calls the above function and passes data from the model as javascript parameter values.
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('<%=item.Associate%>','<%=item.ReviewDate%>' )" } )%>
The above throws a bunch of compile issues and doesn't work. A call such as the following does call the javascript, but doesn't get the data from the model.
My httppost action doesnt seem to have received my model. The code is below;

i put a breakpoint on the line; return RedirectToAction("Error", "Dashboard"); and i found that appQualif carried no values whatsoever from the form i submitted..
I'm building an MVC 2 RTM app, and I want to be able to share my model across applications. I'd *like* to be able to implement it like:ASP.NET MVC2 app (holds Views and Controllers)Class library to hold Model(s)WCF app to handle the data transactions with the models via different data stores across apps I had the MVC app working fine, but I wanted to abstract the data stuff and be able to work with the model across apps through the WCF site, so I created a class library project and moved all of the Models classes into that and set-up a WCF app, then added project references to the MVC and WCF apps that point at the class library. The idea was I can create services that take and return objects from the model via method calls across apps. It appears that everything's wired up correctly in the MVC project, so I'm passing the objects stored in the Models class library between controllers and views and everythig is compiling just fine, but for some reason the data is not being passed back from the views to the controller on POST -- all of the properties in the classes are null or empty.
When I debug the app, I can see that the values are stored in the model data dictionary but not the model object itself. What am I doing wrong? Am I on the wrong path, or missing something obvious (to some)?
i wonder something about mvc post method. for example I created a view "strongly typed" from a model (MyModel).
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Demo1.Models.MyModel>" %> for Create actionsthere is two way. first one takes MyModel as parameter [HttpPost] public ActionResult cart(MyModel md, int someID) { //some code //..... return View(MyModel); } second one does not take parameter as model. [HttpPost] public ActionResult cart(int someID) { //some code //..... return View(Mymodel); }
for first one way, after form post the form values does not delete, I mean form does not cleared,after second one form is be cleared. why this diffirence?
I have need to provide a URL to a controller and action in one of my model classes. Is this possible to do with out providing the entire webaddress as well?
public class BandProfileModel { public BandModel Band { get; set; } public IEnumerable<Relationship> Requests { get; set; } } and the following form: <% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %> <%: Html.EditorFor(m => m.Band) %> <input type="submit" value="Save Band" /> <% } %> which posts to the following action: public ActionResult EditPost(BandProfileModel m, string band) { // stuff is done here, but m is null? return View(m); }
Basically, I only have one property on my model that is used in the form. The other property in BandProfleModel is just used in the UI for other data. I'm trying to update just the Band property, but for each post, the argument "m" is always null (specifically, the .Band property is null). It's posting just fine to the action, so it isn't a problem with my route. Just the data is null.
The ID and name attributes of the fields are BAND_whatever and Band.whatever (whatever being a property of Band), so it seems like it would work. What am I doing wrong? How can I use just one property as part of a form, post back, and have values populated via the model binder for my BandProfileModel property in the action?
Movie has fields Id, Name. View is displaying name only in textbox. When button is clicked, the above action method's movie is populates with the updated name value but Id is 0, actually that record's id is 4. Thatswhy my updating of record is not working. Why MVC is putting 0 into id?
I saw a post with posibble problems with Model Binding which is mentioned here. [URL]. Whats the best approach to this? Different approaches are below. [Code]....
I've been struggling for some time now with an MVC routing issue, but I have finally reached a point where the basic routing is correct; that is, the application is invoking the correct action method and .aspx page, but the action method fails because no parameters are passed to it.
Before I show detailed screenshots of the problem, I had better provide some background. This is a bibliographic application which, among other things, analyzes text abstracts to identify unique words and the number of occurrences for each word in each document. This data will eventually be inserted into a SQL Server database, but for the time being I only want to do the calculation and display the results, on a document-by-document basis, in an .ASPX view set up for the purpose. The data structure of the application is as follows:
Collections -this is a set of fifty or so CollectionDetails items.CollectionDetails represent individual documents, in this case books in an academic library. Attributes of the CollectionDetail record are those typical of a library book--author, call number, title, year, and so on. The title and subject catalog headings are combined to form a quasi-abstract, which becomes the basis of the text analysis. In a few cases, I added additional text from Google Books or Amazon synopses and reviews.
MasterStopList contains common words such as pronouns and prepositions that we want to exclude from consideration.
I'm trying to call an action method in an MVC application using jQuery. Basically what I want is to take the value of a couple of input fields and call the action method by clicking a button, passing the values of the input fields as parameters. But I only get the value of the "number" parameter, not the "year" parameter.
function selectWeek() { $('#selectWeekButton').click(function (event) { var number = $("#selectWeekId").val(); [code]...
I checked the url with an alert, as you can see, and it seems to contain both values fine. But when I check the value of the year parameter in the action method it is null.Here are the input fields:
public ActionResult Edit(string number, string year) //etc...
I know that this looks like a strange thing to do instead of just binding fields, but the reason is that these input fields and their values is not the main purpose of this View. They're just there to select another week in this timesheet application. And besides, I'm going to replace the input fields with a jQuery calendar eventually, so I will still have to do something like this.
So what's the easiest way to do this, and why isn't it working as it is?
Having alot of startup issues with MVC - I really like the idea behind it all, and the way it works, but still lacking some essential skills, WebForms is much more natural to me. Just to simplify my problem.
I have a "Blog" page with "Posts" which needs a "Comments" systems. In my blog view "/Post/Details/{id}" I'm showing all data for the "Post" model. So at the bottom I need to loop and display all comments, this is fine:
[Code]....
Now I want a form/input where you can submit a new comment. This is the problem, how do I implement that, tried everything! How do I catch that form submit in Details action in my PostController?
how to make a stadard HTML button call an action method and pass parameters to it? Can you please show me an example of how to do this? THis is the method:
public ActionResult CCDReview([DefaultValue(1) int CUrrentPage]) { //method code is here. }
Yes, my button is wrapped in a form, and it's a "submit" button.
I just struck upon a prime opportunity to further exhibit my MVC ignorance, by way of the following: How can one make use of a custom view model class that has parameters in the constructor? For example, a class that could intitialize various collections/properties based on an IPrincipal object passed in. I've come across several allusions to this scenario, involving a class inheriting DefaultModelBinder which overrides the CreateModel method, but have yet to find an example.
