Simple question about ActionResult

Question

User562699594 posted

I have a view with a form that has both the public ActionResult Associate(), and the [HttpPost] public ActionResult Associate().

Right now the HttpPost is Binding to a model class and I don't want to do that.  I just want to pass some hidden fields.

How would I do that withing the Bind part of the ActionResult?

Thanks!

Hi id3ma,

If you just want to pass some hidden fields to the HttpPost method, you can use JQuery Ajax. For example:

@model Test.Models.Category

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Associate";
}

<h2>Associate</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm()) 
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @*Hidden Fields*@
    @Html.HiddenFor(model=>model.CategoryID)
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.CategoryName, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.CategoryName, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CategoryName, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
    </div>

    <input type="submit" value="Edit" class="btn btn-default" id="Edit"/>
}

@section scripts{
    <script>
        $("#Edit").click(function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            var token = $('input[name="__RequestVerificationToken"]', $("form")).val();
            $.ajax({
                url: '@Url.Action("Associate","Demo")',
                data: {
                    __RequestVerificationToken: token,
                    ID: $("#CategoryID").val()
                },
                method: 'POST',
                success: function () {
                    alert("s");
                }
            })
        })
    </script>
    }

Then in HttpPost method:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Associate(int? ID)
{
    return View();
}

If you have any confusion, please feel free to post back.

Best Regards,
