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

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);
});

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;
}

Passing multiple objects to my controller

I am passing an object to my controller like so:
var form = JSON.stringify({
"subRevisedRequest": $('#frmRevised').val(),
"subSubcontractor": $('#frmSubcontractor').val(),
"subDescription": $('#frmDesc').val(),
"subCostCode": $('#frmCostCode').val(),
"subAmt": $('#frmAmt').val(),
"subPaymentTerms": "terms",
"subRetainage": 10,
"subComments": $('#frmComment').val()
});
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("CreateSubcontracts", "Routing")',
type: "POST",
datatype: "JSON",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: form,
success: function(result) {
if (!result.success) {
$('#errormsg').empty();
$('#errormsg').append(result.message);
} else {
location.href = '#Url.Action("Index", "Home")';
}
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Failed");
}
});
my controller sees this as the object it is looking for:
public ActionResult CreateSubcontracts(RoutingSubcontracts s)
My problem is that I'd like to pass along just one more string. I know I can make a view specific model but I was wondering if I could do something like this for example:
public ActionResult CreateSubcontracts(RoutingSubcontracts s, string bu)
I have tried the the following with no luck:
data: JSON.stringify({ "s": form, "bu": "251" }),
but the complex object just comes through as null. Is there a way I can pass the object and a string through as well?
Try adding the string item in the JSON you already have. Dont stringify it or it will just send a big string that youll have to parse again on the server.
var form = {
"subRevisedRequest": $('#frmRevised').val(),
"subSubcontractor": $('#frmSubcontractor').val(),
"subDescription": $('#frmDesc').val(),
"subCostCode": $('#frmCostCode').val(),
"subAmt": $('#frmAmt').val(),
"subPaymentTerms": "terms",
"subRetainage": 10,
"subComments": $('#frmComment').val(),
"bu": "251" // add it here
};
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("CreateSubcontracts", "Routing")',
type: "POST",
datatype: "JSON",
data: form,
success: function(result) {
if (!result.success) {
$('#errormsg').empty();
$('#errormsg').append(result.message);
} else {
location.href = '#Url.Action("Index", "Home")';
}
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Failed");
}
});
In your view jquery create a second var for bu. Assign the data in you ajax call like this;
data: { "s" : form, "bu" : "251" }
In your controller method change the signature to include a default value for bu like this;
public ActionResult CreateSubcontracts(RoutingSubcontracts s, string bu = "NoValue")
With the default value set bu will act like an optional parameter

Jquery ajax returning null values back to controller - MVC3

I'm using jQuery ajax to build a viewmodel list and then trying to send that viewmodel to another ActionResult in order to create PartialViews. The first part works well, and I'm able to create the viewmodel (List), but when I try to send the viewmodel back to the controller to build up the partial views, everything within the viewmodel is 0. It returns the correct number of items in the list, but it seems to lose the values.
Can anyone see if I'm missing anything here?
jQuery:
$.ajax({
async: false,
type: 'GET',
dataType: "json",
url: '#Url.Action("GetMapDetails")',
success: function (data) {
$.ajax({
async: false,
type: 'POST',
dataType: "json",
url: '#Url.Action("GetMapItems")',
data: {
list: data
},
success: function (list) {
//callback
});
}
});
}
});
and the controller:
public ActionResult GetMapDetails()
{
List<ViewModel> vm = new List<ViewModel>();
//create viewmodel here
return Json(vm.ToArray(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetMapItems(List<ViewModel> list)
{
return PartialView("_MapItemsPartial", list);
}
I've tried also using contentType: 'application/json' and JSON.stringify(data) but that gave me an Invalid JSON primitive error.
Any help appreciated - thanks
You could send them as JSON request:
$.ajax({
async: false,
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
url: '#Url.Action("GetMapItems")',
data: JSON.stringify({
list: data
}),
success: function (result) {
//callback
}
});
Also notice that I have removed the dataType: 'json' parameter because your GetMapItems POST controller action doesn't return any JSON. It returns a PartialView. So I guess you did something wrong and this is not what it was meant to be returned from this controller action because from what I can see in your success callback you are expecting to manipulate JSON.
Oh, and please remove this async:false => it defeats the whole purpose of AJAX as you are no longer doing any AJAX, you are now doing SJAX.

How to retrieve CheckBox value in Controller - Asp.Net MVC 3 and Jquery

Problem: Check box value display null in controller.cs. but it is working perfectly according to selection of row from jqgrid. But when I select any row and update all the field it will pass to the controller with modified value but only IsEnabled field comes null.
I have Database Field called IsEnabled which has Bit data type.
I have written following code in .cshtml
<input type="checkbox" value='Yes' offval='No' name="IsEnabled" />
I am using following code to bind check box value as per in database
grid.jqGrid('GridToForm', gsr, "#order");
I have save button. When I click on save following code will execute
$("#btnSave").click(function () {
var data = JSON.stringify($('#order').serializeObject());
var href = '#Url.Action("SaveData", "Users")';
var ajaxResponse = $.ajax({
type: "post",
url: href,
dataType: 'json',
data: data,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (result) {
if (result.Success == true) {
alert("Success");
}
else {
alert("Error: " + result.Message);
}
}
});
Following code written in Controller.cs
(in FormValue it will show all the updated value correctly except IsEnabled, it will display always null.)
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult SaveData(User FormValue)
{
string message = "";
return Content(message);
}
You must delete this code ( if use jquery ajax )
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
when you use post back and send class use above code
send class with jQuery use this code:
try it:
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: href,
dataType: 'json',
data: SON.stringify({ FormValue : { ID : $('#controlIdName').val() , Name : $('#ControlName').val() } }),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (result) {
if (result.Success == true) {
alert("Success");
}
else {
alert("Error: " + result.Message);
}
}

asp.net mvc ajax driving me mad

how come when I send ajax request like this everything works
$(".btnDeleteSong").click(function () {
var songId = $(this).attr('name');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/Home/DeleteSong/",
data: { id: songId },
success: ShowMsg("Song deleted successfully"),
error: ShowMsg("There was an error therefore song could not be deleted, please try again"),
dataType: "json"
});
});
But when I add the anonymous function to the success It always showes me the error message although the song is still deleted
$(".btnDeleteSong").click(function () {
var songId = $(this).attr('name');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/Home/DeleteSong/",
data: { id: songId },
success: function () { ShowMsg("Song deleted successfully"); },
error: function () {
ShowMsg("There was an error therefore song could not be deleted, please try again");
},
dataType: "json"
});
});
what if i wanted few things on success of the ajax call, I need to be able to use the anonymous function and I know that's how it should be done, but what am I doing wrong?
I want the success message to show not the error one.
function ShowMsg(parameter) {
$("#msg").find("span").replaceWith(parameter);
$("#msg").css("display", "inline");
$("#msg").fadeOut(2000);
return false;
}
Make sure your action is returning Json data.
"json": Evaluates the response as JSON and returns a JavaScript object. In jQuery 1.4 the JSON data is parsed in a strict manner; any malformed JSON is rejected and a parse error is thrown. (See json.org for more information on proper JSON formatting.)
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
Your action method should surely return Json data. I have the similar code see if that helps.
public ActionResult GetAllByFilter(Student student)
{
return Json(new { data = this.RenderPartialViewToString("PartialStudentList", _studentViewModel.GetBySearchFilter(student).ToList()) });
}
$("#btnSearch").live('click',function () {
var student = {
Name: $("#txtSearchByName").val(),
CourseID: $("#txtSearchByCourseID").val()
};
$.ajax({
url: '/StudentRep/GetAllByFilter',
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(student),
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function(result) {
$("#dialog-modal").dialog("close");
RefreshPartialView(result.data);
}
, error: function() { alert('some error occured!!'); }
});
});
Above code is used to reload a partial view. in your case it should be straight forward.
Thanks,
Praveen
