  Alternative for ViewData and QueryString

  Apr 03, 2012 06:33 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I have a page(a.aspx) to which im navigating from two different pages(ie there is a link in these two pages where it navigates to a.aspx)

  to differentiate from which page i was navigated to a.aspx i used the below code.

  passed Querystrings(B1,B2) to the target page as below

   

  Html.ActionLink("test" "Testing", new { Controller = "Stats",prev="B1"},new { @class = "link",target="_self" })
  
   Html.ActionLink("test" "Testing", new { Controller = "Stats",prev="B2"},new { @class = "link",target="_self" })

  and in the action of the target page controller i used the below code

  ViewData["prev"] = Request.QueryString["prev"].ToString();

  
  and im using this ViewData in the target page ie a.aspx.This is working fine.. Im abit reluctant to use Query.string and ViewData for the above requirement.Please suggest any other alternative approach for the same.

  You can change your code above as:

  @Html.ActionLink("test", "Testing", "Stats", new { prev = "B1"},new { @class = "link",target="_self" })
  @Html.ActionLink("test", "Testing", "Stats", new { prev = "B2"},new { @class = "link",target="_self" })

  and your action will be like this:

          public ActionResult Testing(string prev)
          {
             //You can get prev as parameter
          }

  Hi

  I dont think it is a good idea that not use the querystring.
