  MVC3 Razor - Html control can programmatically perform Html.ActionLink()?

  May 09, 2012 06:54 PM|LINK

  Hi

  Sorry, I am assuming that this is trival question, but I want to perform the same action as would be performed by Html.ActionLink(), but performed programmatically (without user selecting the link) within the view.

  The goal is to call the view's controller/action to fully re-render this view with new information.

  Thanks

  Thanks

  thanks for the reply

  I looked at the article and I tried the following, but the expected action is not getting called.

  I want the following action to get called

  public partial class SendCardController : Controller
  {
  	[HttpGet]
  	public ActionResult GetDigitalPreview(DigitalPreviewModel model)
  	{
  	/***/
  	}
  }

  And within the view I have injected the following ajax javascript, but it is not connecting with the expected controller/action: 

  @if (grid.HasSelection)
  {
  	Model.Selected = grid.SelectedRow.Value;
  
  	<script type="text/javascript">
  		var actionUrl = Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Url.Action("GetDigitalPreview", "SendCard")));
  		$.ajax({
  			url: actionUrl,
  			type: 'GET',
  			cache: false,
  			data: { model: Model }
  		});
     </script> 
  }

  
  What am I missing?

  Thanks

  Thanks

  What am I missing?

  A lot:

  1. Do not call a GET method - call a POST method. It's easier in MVC.

  2. Make a simplest code in the  public ActionResult GetDigitalPreview and show us

  3. Instead of

  jeff00seattle

  var actionUrl = Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Url.Action("GetDigitalPreview", "SendCard")));

  put
  

  var actionUrl = '@Url.Action("GetDigitalPreview", "SendCard")';

  4.

  jeff00seattle

  data: { model: Model }

  See how I create the Model to be send in the

  function saveEmployee

  from javascript.

  5.Please try to reproduce my example first and then make yours.
