C# MVC - How can I pass some method arguments as parameters inside a Controller?

Question

I have a controller action like this:

public ActionResult Test(string par)
{
    Model myMod = new Model();
    myMod.Attribute = par;
    return View(myMod);
}

In the Test View I'd like to retrieve and print that attribute...
like this:

@model Project.Models.Model

@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Attribute)

But by doing in that way I'm not able to retrieve the data from the action.

Using Model as the name of your ViewModel class is not a good choice. In Razor... @Model refers to the model passed to the view. It will became hard to understate... not sure it the intellisense will work as intended also. — Romias

View logic looks OK. Are you sure that par is set when you call the action? — user338195

I tried to write the url manually, i.e. localhost:8090/Home/Test/thisisthevalue and I suppose it opens a page, since the View is ok, with "thisisthevalue" displayed. — xnr_z

In your model, the property is called, Attribute, but in the view, you are referencing Attrubute:

@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Attribute)
