I have a partial view and the corresponding controller which looks as follows:
public class SearcherController : Controller
{
SearcherViewModel searcherVM;
//
// GET: /Searcher/
public PartialViewResult Index()
{
searcherVM = new SearcherViewModel();
return PartialView("_SearcherPartial", searcherVM);
}
public ViewResult Search(FormCollection formCollection)
{
return View();
}
}
On the master page I render the partial view as follows:
#{Html.RenderAction("Index","Searcher");}
In my partial view I have a form with some inputs. Form SHOULD call Search action in the Searcher controller:
#using (Html.BeginForm("Search", "Searcher"))
{
...some inputs
<input type="submit" value="SEARCH" />
}
However when I click on the "SEARCH" button, the "Index" action of the SearchController is called. What am I doing wrong?

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Search(SearchTerm Model)
{
// some code here....
}
When i click a empty search I want the validation message to take place but instead page is getting postback and i am having NullReferenceException
Mention the script name, #section scripts { ...} and check whether jqueryval has 2 files - ~/scripts/jquery.validate.min.js","~/scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js","~/scripts
I have created one page using MVC3. I have filled all the details and when I click the submit button it's not doing inserting, just postback and all the details gets lost.
This is controller
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult MyAccountIndex()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult MyAccountIndex(MyAccount myacc)
{
MyAccount ma = new MyAccount();
var objview = ma.GetCustInfo(myacc);
return View();
}
Change your form in View to:
<form action="MyAccountIndex" method="POST">
<input type="submit" />
</form>
I have a class and create an instance and fill a property in my index but when I push the submit button in my view and return again to my index action the property of my class is null.
How can I save the data when I return to my action and retrieve it? Is it possible?
I used viewbag and viewdata in my index and fill theme but when returned to index action again all of theme were null :(
public class myclass
{
public string tp { get; set; }
}
public class HomeController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /Home/
myclass myc = new myclass();
public ActionResult Index()
{
myc.tp = "abc";
return View(myc);
}
}
View:
#model MvcApplication2.Controllers.myclass
#{
Layout = null;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit" />
}
</body>
</html>
simply use either GET or POST method in your Controller according to your form method like,
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index(string id)
{
myc.tp = id;
return View(myc);
}
In your HttpPost you can get the model and see it's properties if you provided input fields for the properties in your view.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(myclass myc)
{
//check the myc properties here
return View(myc);
}
Then in your View:
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.tp)
I'm new to ASP.NET MVC. I'm currently using ASP.NET MVC 3. I'm trying to create a basic form with an image button that posts data back to the controller. My form looks like the following:
MyView.cshtml
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.TextBox("queryTextBox", string.Empty, new { style = "width:150px;" })
<input type="image" alt="Search" src="/img/search.png" value="Search" name="ExecuteQuery" />
}
MyController.cs
public class MyController: Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewData["CurrentDate"] = DateTime.UtcNow;
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ExecuteQuery()
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View();
}
}
}
I have verified that I'm accessing my controller code. The way I've been able to do this is by successfully printing out the "CurrentDate" associated with the ViewData. However, when I click my image button, I was assuming that my break point in the ExecuteQuery method would fire. It does not. What am I doing wrong? How do I do a simple POST in MVC?
Your form is pointing to the wrong action.
Calling Html.BeginForm() creates a <form> that POSTs to the current action (Index).
You need to pass the action name to BeginForm.
Try this one
#using (Html.BeginForm("ExecuteQuery", "MyController", FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.TextBox("queryTextBox", string.Empty, new { style = "width:150px;" })
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
}
In your controller
public class MyController: Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewData["CurrentDate"] = DateTime.UtcNow;
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ExecuteQuery(string queryTextBox)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// DO SOMETHING WITH queryTextBox
return View();
}
}
}
If the image submit button is very important for you, you can still change the button background image using CSS.
i have a button on the cshtml view..its clicked every-time an item is scanned.
The user has to do it one by one and once all the items have been scanned..i want to opem/pop up a new window plus redirect him to another page.. The condition whether it was the last item..is being checked in the controller method.
How can i call a javascript to open the new window from the controller..right before my 'redirecttoaction' ?
is there a better way to do it?
Here's a sample pattern:
public ActionResult Index()
{
var model = new MyViewModel();
return View(model);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(MyViewModel model)
{
// TODO Process the scanned code model.Code
if (IsLastItem())
{
model.IsLast = true;
}
return View(model);
}
and inside the view:
#model MyViewModel
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Code)
<input type="submit" value="OK" />
}
<script type="text/javascript">
#if (Model.IsLast)
{
<text>
window.open('#Url.Action("foo")', 'foo');
window.location.href = '#Url.Action("bar")';
</text>
}
</script>
Its not clean to call JavaScript from controller. Instead, move the logic of checking if its a last item to the client side and call appropriate controller action as appropriate.
