I am working C# MVC application and I have 2 action method in a controller:
[MultipleButton(Name = "action", Argument = "Save")]
public ActionResult SaveBasicInformation(FormCollection collection)
{.....}
[MultipleButton(Name = "action", Argument = "Submit")]
public ActionResult SubmitRequest(FormCollection collection)
{....}
The above code is working fine without ajax request. Now my question is how i can to pass "FormCollection" in $.ajax(..) for specific controller method.
var input = $(':input');
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("SaveBasicInformation", "Home")',
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
data: input,
success: function (data) {
alert("Success");
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Error");
alert(result.responseText);
}
});
Here is the error message when i use the above ajax code:
The current request for action 'SaveBasicInformatio'' on controller type HomeController'
is ambiguous between the following action methods: System.Web.MVC.Action Result
SubmitRrquest(System.Web.formCollection)....
Thank you for your help...
The `[MultipleButton]' attribute is a custom attribute possibly from this SO answer? which may be causing the problem as its an ajax call. Try removing the attributes.

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);
}
I am working on MVC 5 app and I want to render partialView in another partialview with model data using jQuery ajax function. when javaScript function is called, it suppose to send ID of selected element back to controller which is working fine, and in return bring partial view along with model which is not working from following code
<td>
<a href="#" class="SearchUser_Icon Hyperlink_Text" onclick="load_getUserListByGroupID(this)" id=#item.GroupID></a>
</td>
.
JavaScript function
function load_getUserListByGroupID(element)
{
var selectedGroupID = element.id;
alert(selectedGroupID);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/UserManagement/SearchUsersByGroupID/",
dataType: "json",
data: { 'GroupID': selectedGroupID },
success: function (viewHTML) {
alert("success");
$("#userContentBlock").html(viewHTML);
},
error: function (errorData) { onError(errorData); }
}).done(function (result) {
alert("done!");
});
}
.
<div id="userContentBlock"></div>
Controller Method
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SearchUsersByGroupID(string GroupID)
{
int intID = Convert.ToInt32(GroupID);
var UsersListByGroupID = _userServices.GetUsersByGroupID(intID);
return PartialView("GetUsersListByGroup_Partial", UsersListByGroupID );
}
You are returning HTML while expecting JSON in the ajax call. Just remove the dataType: "json" from the settings and everything should work as expected.
jQuery.ajax() dataType:
The type of data that you're expecting back from the server. If none is specified, jQuery will try to infer it based on the MIME type of the response.
How can I return a class object from Ajax in asp.net MVC....???
Example:
Ajax call from html:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/Tutorial/Web/AlignmentRule/GetAlignmentDetails',
data: { alignmentRuleId: alignmentRuleId },
success:
function (data) {
alert(data.Id);
alert(data.alignmentData.Id);
$("#ruleName").val(data.alignmentData.Name);
$("#level").val(data.alignmentData.Id);
},
error:
function () {
alert("Server Error!!!!");
},
dataType: 'JSON',
async: false
});
and Action method in contorller is:
public virtual JsonResult GetAlignmentDetails(int alignmentRuleId)
{
var alignmentData = _allignmentRuleRepository.GetAlignmentById(alignmentRuleId);
return Json( alignmentData );
}
And I want to return a list of alignmentRule class objects also....
you can compose your return object as you want, for example, create a ViewModel as decorator to hold everything you want to pass, like:
var json = new JsonViewModel() {
alignmentData = alignmentData,
rules = yourRules
};
return Json(json);
The error is thrown because by default MVC framework does't allow you to respond to an HTTP GET request with a JSON (because of security reasons).
In order to make it work, when you retrurn Json in your action, you need to specify JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet
[HttpPost]
public virtual JsonResult GetAlignmentDetails(int alignmentRuleId)
{
var alignmentData = _allignmentRuleRepository.GetAlignmentById(alignmentRuleId);
return Json( alignmentData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
EDIT
Annotate your action with [HttpPost] attribute.

The situation, I'm making multiple ajax/json requests on the same page to a controller, which returns a JsonResult.
I know this is a problem with the session state, I've added the [SessionState(SessionStateBehavior.Disabled)] attribute on my controller class, but nothing seems to work, my second ajax request just wont get the return data.
the controller:
[SessionState(SessionStateBehavior.Disabled)]
public class IndexController : Controller
{}
the two json methods:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public JsonResult GetLatestListJSON()
{
Thread.Sleep(5000);
ArticleRepository repo = new ArticleRepository();
IList<ArticleModel> list = repo.GetLatestContent(10);
return Json(list, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public JsonResult GetCustomerJSON()
{
Thread.Sleep(5000);
CustomerRepository Repo = new CustomerRepository();
IList<Customer> cust= Repo.GetCustomer();
return Json(cust, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
The second ajax call, the other one is very similar, I never get to see the 'succes'-alert.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
alert('before');
$.getJSON("/Index/GetCustomerJSON", null, function (data) {
alert('succes');
$("#loadingGifVideo").hide();
$.each(data, function (index, mod) {
});
});
});
Thanks guys :)
If you put a break-point in your GetCustomerJSON method and run this in Visual Studio does the method ever get called? It does
EDIT
Try switching from getJSON to the ajax method so you can capture any errors. Like so:
$.ajax({
url: "/Index/GetCustomerJSON",
dataType: 'json',
data: null,
success: function (data) { alert('success'); }
error: function (data) { alert('error'); }
});
Do you get an "error" alert?
I am trying to call a controller via ajax without to much luck.
I have create this in my view
<input type="submit" id="preview-email" value="Preview Email" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#preview-email").click(function () {
var p = { "email": "1223" };
$.ajax({
url: '/BusinessController/PreviewEmail',
type: "POST",
data: p,
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
},
error: function () {
alert("error");
}
});
});
</script>
My controller
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult PreviewEmail(string email)
{
// string d = ViewData["editor"].ToString();
string e = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(email);
EmailModel model = new EmailModel() { EmailBody = e };
return PartialView("_PreviewEmail", model);
}
Turning on fiddler is telling me that its a 500 error. What have I done wrong? I've placed a breakpoint on my controller however it doesnt get that far
Your URL should be:
'/Business/PreviewEmail'
instead of:
'/BusinessController/PreviewEmail'
However, the recommended practice for building URLs is to use your routes:
Url.Action("PreviewEmail", "Business")
BTW, you have another problem in your code. By setting "application/json" as your contentType, MVC will expect a JSON string. However, when you assign a JavaScript object to the data property of $.ajax(), jQuery will serialize the value to this:
email=1223
So you'll want to assign a string to the data property instead by doing this:
var p = '{ "email": "1223" }';
#Url.Action doesn't work inside the JS file. What if my call to Controller/Action is inside JS file?
For now I'm, retrieving the location.href and then replacing the Action name.
(This may not be a wise thing to do)
