I want to pass a value from the view to the controller the value is retrieve via jquery when I use the code below it does not work the value is null in the controller.
//Hardcoded to test
var groupId = 1;
$('#timeList').load('/Time/Index/' + groupId);
public ActionResult Index(int? groupId)
{
AddProjectToViewData(-1);
return View(_service.ListTimes());
}
Try this:
var groupId = 1;
$('#timeList').load('/Time/Index', {groupId: groupId}); //Send named parameter
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index(int? groupId)
{
AddProjectToViewData(-1);
return View(_service.ListTimes());
}
Hope this helps
assuming that you are using default routes in global.asax.cs you can retrieve this value in id
public ActionResult index(int? id)
{
AddProjectToViewData(-1);
return View(_service.ListTimes());
}
if you do wish to receive it in groupid you have to change jquery code a little //Hardcoded to test
var groupId = 1;
$('#timeList').load('/Time/Index?groupid=' + groupId);
You want to do either a post or a get, and I think you may want to pass back a string or json. For ease, I'll show you a get with json:
///your javascript
var groupId =1;
$.get('Time/Index/' + groupId, function(data) {
$('#timeList').val(data);
///might need to do a for each since you are returning a list or whatever
});
///your controller logic
[HttpGet]
public string Index(int? groupId)
{
AddProjectToViewData(-1);
//might want to pass back json here
return WhateverYourDataIs.ToString();
}
Hope this helps
