MVC :: MVC - How To Make Action Link Perform A Submit
Aug 10, 2010
I am currently trying to make an html submit occur, but using the MVC helper method ActionLink as I do not want it to be a button, I want it to be an underlined link like the rest on my page. This is what I have currently
[Code]....
This jumps back to my action fine, but all the domains that are checked off to be deleted are not sent back. (if I use this,
[Code]....
it works fine so I know it's not something wrong with submitting or retrieving the check boxes)
Lets say I have a simple controller for ASP.NET MVC I want to test. I want to test that a controller action (Foo, in this case) simply returns a link to another action (Bar, in this case).How would you test TestController.Foo? (either the first or second link)
My implementation has the same link twice. One passes the url throw ViewData[]. This seems more testable to me, as I can check the ViewData collection returned from Foo(). Even this way though, I don't know how to validate the url itself without making dependencies on routing.The controller:
public class TestController : Controller { public ActionResult Foo()[code].....
After a user creates an account on my website, I want to redirect the user to the home page and display a twitter style message bar on top. This is how I have it:
success: function (response) { if (response.Success) { location.href = response.ReturnUrl; } ShowMessageBar(response.Message); },
The message bar does appear but it gets displayed only for a second as it gets canceled by the redirect. What can I do to display the message right after the redirect has completed? Is there a complete event for the location.href?
Without giving away specifics: basically, I have a bunch of users adding content to my site. What happens now is ajax sends the text to a web service which does its thing, sends the info to the DB, Sends the user an e-mail, and then returns a response to the browser to do something.
What I would like to do is change that order. I want to return a response to the browser so the user is not waiting on the e-mail to send before they get their response. Basically, I'm trying to gain every milisecond I can to quicken the response, and there's no reason for the user to wait for the server to send their e-mail before it tells them that everything worked ok. If the info went to the DB, that's all the user needs to know, they'll know the e-mail sent when it shows up in their inbox. I notice this is an issue on my local machine which has no SMTP server and can actually hang the page response up for a few extra seconds because it's throwing errors trying to send something with no SMTP server.
So, I know in my function when I say
[Code]....
it WORKS, but I want to send the e-mail after the return. Is there ANY way to get this to happen?
I have an MVC app that uses [Authorize] to protect the private bits. When I select the SignOut() URL it signs me out but if I hit the back button on my browser the it goes to the secure page and even lets me use the form. The action takes place and then it shows that I'm signed out. The problem is that it performs the secured action (inserting a row into my database). Then I can use the back button again and do it all over. Am I missing something important? It seems like it could be a really big security issue.
Is it need to use HttpWebRequest? how does it works? i want to pass data from a asp.net page's textbox to a textbox in a given URL/ a given website, how can i do it? For example, i want to pass a text box value which is entered by a user in my asp page, then the textbox value will be passed to the website's text box and get the response. I want to pass some data to a website-for example [URL] then call the submit button of the given website from my ASP.NET page, then get response from it.
Which means when user fill in the textbox in my asp.net page, [URL] the hotel search textbox will be auto fill in with the data (such as the date) that user typed in my ASP.NET page. and this will call the submit button of the website, so that the given website can response.
I have an ASP.net page. That has an Ajax Toolkit Tab Control.hat has tabs.That have custom ascx controls I wrote.I have a text box that perform a search action. It is declared like this:
Nothing fancy. This format has been working for months. There's no submit button. It just posts back when I hit enter. The problem appeared when I added a second custom control using the same type of feature. Now browsers don't postback when I type something in either of these textboxes and press enter.It seems that browsers have a default way of handling one textbox in one form, but that behavior changes when the number reaches two.Is there an easy way around this? I guess I can create a hidden submit button but it seems like there is probably a better way to deal with this when the functionality is in two separate custom controls.
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.
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?
@Html.ActionLink("Add a bill", "Create", new { controller = "Bill"}); This is the code I used to add an link to Create method in Bill controller. But in the view I saw Add a bill (/Bill/Create): So, how can I remove the brackets? (/Bill/Create). And, I also want this link to act as a button instead of a , how can I do that?
I know I can use Html.ActionLink(...) from my view to render an anchor tag with a link to an action. I know I can call RedirectToAction(...) from the controller to immediately call another action. But what I'd like to do (and don't know how), is get an action link from within the controller. I am building up a breadcrumb and want the link to an action. So I don't want to immediately jump to the action (as with RedirectToAction), but just get what the link would be.
i am currently working on an asp.net mvc 2 web app and would like to add some ajax functionality on my delete item actions.Show, on the list items displayed view page, i wrapped the list items inside a partial view and added an ajax delete action link for each item (inside a foreach loop):
[Code]....
On the AjaxDeleteItem ajax controller action, i delete the selected item and redisplay the updated items list (via UpdateTargetId = "divList", where the list items partial view resides).My question is how i could insert Antiforgery token in such a scenario in order to secure delete operations from CSRF and XSRF attacks.
I have an action link that I use to pass values to a controller using this statement:
<%: Html.ActionLink("Addition 1 to 10", "CreatePdf", "Pdf", new { id = 32, stOperation = "Add", stNumbers = "10" }, null)%>
So when a user clicks on the above link the controller CreatePDF is called with the parameters of id, stOperation, and stNumbers. I then use these three parameters to return a pdf document to the user.I also have a checkbox on the html page as defined by:
<%: Html.CheckBox("chkAnswers", false) %>
My question is how to pass the value of this checkbox in the above HTML.ActionLink? I have a tutorial on using the submit button to submit an entire form and the associated data. However I do not want the user to have to click a button. Instead I'd like return the value of the checkbox in the action link but I'm not sure how to do this. I want something like:
%: Html.ActionLink("Addition 1 to 10", "CreatePdf", "Pdf", new { id = 32, stOperation = "Add", stNumbers = "10", checkboxValue = true or false }, null)%>
I have navigation and many link on my webproject from html action links. They are ugly with underline. I would like to insert some image with name or play with styles of action link.Is it possible? How to do that?
I have one problem with actionlink. My Example is: i have one view(xyz.aspx) and controller(abc.vb) , in this view i put below line
<%=Html.ActionLink("Manage", "Index", "Advertisement", New With {.aintCampaignid = Cam.CampaignID})%>
I have another view(Index.aspx) and controller(Advertisement.vb) if click on manage link in XYZ view it will call to advertisement controller and index function But iam getting [URL] it wont call.
