  Pass XML data between two controllers --> URGENT

  Jan 21, 2012 03:06 PM|LINK

  Hi,

  I want to send XML from A-controller(Index action method) to B-controller(Reorder action method).

  I'm using RedirectToAction("Reorder", "B-controller", "here XML as string");

  But Im not getting xml in B-controller Reorder action method. How to use send this xml to other controller?

  NOTE: XML size will be 10KB or more. 

  Should we send as XMLDocument or Hashtable or some other method?

  Please mark the post as Answer if it helps you!

  Hi,

  try to use something like this :

  Acontroller

  public class AController : Controller
      {
          //
          // GET: /A/
  
          public ActionResult Index()
          {
              string   xmlcontent = "<Product><Id>1</Id></Product>";
              return RedirectToAction("Record", "B", new System.Web.Routing.RouteValueDictionary(new { content = xmlcontent }));
          }
  
      }

  BController

   public class BController : Controller
      {
          //
          // GET: /B/
  
          public ActionResult Index()
          {
              return View();
          }
  
          [ValidateInput (false )]
          public ActionResult Record(string content)
          {
              return Content(content);
          }
  
      }

  urls's are limited to 2K, so you can not pass much data via a redirct. you store the xml server side (static collection, databases, etc), and pass a lookup key in the redirect.
