ASP.NET MVC controller won't receive my ajax get method data - ajax

Here's a function that calls an ajax get method:
function getSubProjName(projectId) {
console.log(projectId)
var projectName = "";
//ajax get request to get the subproject name
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '#Url.Action("GetSubProjName", "Home")',
data: { projectId: projectId },
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
console.log(response);
projectName = response;
},
error: function (response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
return projectName;
}
I've checked it a billion times, projectId most definitely receives a value. If it helps, its always a numerical value.
Then I have a method in my controller that SHOULD receive the projectId and do something with it:
[HttpGet]
public JsonResult GetSubProjName([FromBody] string projectId)
{
// some code here
return Json(""); //return the code results back to the view
}
My problem is that I just can't get the controller to actually receive the data from the ajax call. All I get in my string ProjectId, in my controller method, is always null.

Is there any way to get data type of XMLHttpRequest on base controller in .net core 3.1

Here is any Jquery ajax POST request;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/Customers/GetAll",
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
},
error: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
Here is my Controller Action Method which requested by ajax above;
public IActionResult GetAll()
{
//Method body...
}
How can I get the dataType of any ajax request in base controller or action method?
Try to get accept in headers:
action:
public IActionResult GetAll()
{
string dataType = HttpContext.Request.Headers["accept"].ToString();
//Method body...
}
The headers can be retrieved on the HttpContext object.
if(HttpContext.Request.Headers.TryGetValue("accept", out var acceptHeaders)) {
var firstAcceptHeader = acceptHeaders.FirstOrDefault();
}
You can also access the header value using indexing Headers["accept"], but be aware, that if there is no accept header, for whatever reason, this will throw a NullReferenceException.

Ajax and ASP.NET MVC- Get page URL, not the controller/action URL

I have an Ajax method that calls an MVC action from a controller class.
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "/ajax/Updates/Message",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
//data variable has been declared already
data = response;
},
complete: function () {
if (data !== "") {
$('#div1').text(window.location.path);
$('#div2').text(data);
}
},
});
[HttpGet]
public async Task < ActionResult > Message()
{
string d = "test string";
return Json(d, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
The 'url' within the Ajax method is the call to the action method.
What to do if I want to return the actual page URL in Ajax Response, not the controller/action url?
So this controller does not have a view or anything associated with it, it is more like a helper class. When I am using ajax in any of the other pages, it is not returning the URL path of that specific page (via 'window.location.path) e.g. /Accounts/Summary , rather it is returning Updates/Message (in reference to the controller and action)
The web is stateless, when you call Updates/Message with ajax, it doesn't know it's for page Accounts/Summary. You'll have to pass this as parameter (post or get) or you could try Request.UrlReferrer which should contain the url of the page that called the request.
I hope this will help you try this code:
ajax code
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '#Url.action("Message","Updates")', // url.action(ActionName,ControllerName)
success: function (data) {
window.location = data;
},
error: function (xhr) { // if error occured
alert("Error occured.please try again");
}
dataType: 'json'
});
actionresult :
[HttpGet]
public async Task<ActionResult> Message()
{
string d = "http://www.google.com";
return Json(d, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

Ajax sending variable value to MVC controller

I am trying to send a value from jQuery using ajax call and fetch the value in the controller. Below is what I am trying, but the value of A is always null. Can someone help me where I am going wrong.
$.ajax({
type: "POST", //The type of Method being used (GET, SET, POST, etc.)
url: '/Controller1/Index',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: { A: "true" }, //Your data to pass to your Controller action
dataType: "json",
success: function (result) {
alert(response.responseText);
alert("Done!");
}
});
C# code
[HttpPost]
[ActionName("Index")]
public ActionResult IndexPost(FilterRule queryBuilder, BootstrapTableQueryType bootstrapTable, string A)
{
string B = A;
}

ASP.NET & Ajax - How to pass value from ajax to action?

I have a few checkboxes on my page. I have some jquery in place to ensure that only one checkbox is checked at a time. I have assigned a specific value to each checkbox. The below ajax finds the checkbox that is checked and I'm grabbing the value associated to it. How do I pass that value to my action?
AJAX
$("input:checkbox").click(function () {
var PaymentID = document.querySelector('#chkBox:checked').value;
alert(PaymentID); // for test
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: PaymentID,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "#Url.Action("MyAction", "Home")",
success: function () {
return PaymentID; // Failed attempt at passing data.
}
})
})
Action:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult MyAction(string PaymentID)
{
// Magic
}
Please keep in mind i am fairly new to ajax. Thx guys.
You can pass a javascript object with name PaymentID ( same name as your action method parameter)
data: { PaymentID: PaymentID },
You do not need to specify contentType as you are sending a simply object. Also you do not necessarily need to specify dataType for your ajax call to send the data.
This should work.
var PaymentID = "some value";
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: { PaymentID: PaymentID },
url: "#Url.Action("MyAction", "Home")",
success: function (response) {
console.log('response', response);
}
});
Or you can use the $.post method.
$.post("#Url.Action("MyAction", "Home")",{ PaymentID: PaymentID }, function(response) {
console.log('response', response);
});

MVC Ajax Post error

I am getting error while I post Ajax request to controller method. In controller method I need to pass Model class object.
But it gives me 500 Internal server error.
Can anybody help me to make it correct?
Mu code is as per below:
jQuery:
var request = $("#frmHost").serialize();
$.ajax({
url: "/Host/HostItemDetails/" ,
type: "POST",
datatype: 'json',
contentType : "application/json",
data: request,
success: function (data) {
if (data == '1111') {
///Success code here
}
else if (data != '') {
jAlert(data);
}
}
});
Controller Method :
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult HostItemDetails(ClsHost objHost)
{
//Code here
return Json("1111");
}
Nirav Try this,
Parse the serialized data as a JSON object and later stringify that while posting using JSON.stringify().
$("#Button").click(function () {
var data = $("#frmHost").serialize().split("&");
var request = {};
for (var key in data) {
request[data[key].split("=")[0]] = data[key].split("=")[1];
}
$.ajax({
url: "/Home/HostItemDetails/",
type: "POST",
datatype: 'json',
contentType: "application/json",
data: JSON.stringify(request),
success: function (data) {
if (data == '1111') {
///Success code here
}
else if (data != '') {
jAlert(data);
}
}
});
});
I ran the same code that you are running.
To test the code I did the following changes. I took a button, and on click event I am sending the post back to the controller.
the '[HttpPost]' attribute is fine too.
Can you make one thing sure, that the frmHost data matches to the class ClsHost,but still that shouldn't cause the server error, the error will be different.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#clickMe").click(function () {
var request = '{"Users":[{"Name":"user999","Value":"test"},{"Name":"test2","Value":"test"}]}';
$.ajax({
url: "/Home/HostItemDetails/",
type: "POST",
datatype: 'json',
contentType: "application/json",
data: request,
success: function (data) {
if (data == '1111') {
///Success code here
}
else if (data != '') {
jAlert(data);
}
}
});
});
});
Controller:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public JsonResult HostItemDetails(ClsHost objHost)
{
//Code here
return Json("111", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
It is solved by removing same property name in Model class. It is mistakenly added by me twice.
