So this might sound silly but I'm really stuck. I have an HTML a tag in my cshtml layout view that is supposed to redirect to another cshtml view page. Despite trying different ways to generate the correct path, clicking on the link still returns 404 not found. Can someone please help me with this?
I realized I need to have a method in the controller for every view. Didn't know that before. It's working fine now. :)
You can use the asp-page tag helper to route to another page.
Below is an example:
<td><a class="text-info" asp-page="NameOfPageYouWantRoutedTo" asp-route-id="#Model.ID">#Model.ID</a></td>
Depending on where your new cshtml page is you may have change the filepath, but this should get you close. The asp-route-id tag helper would link whatever value of the link to the new page. Delete that tag helper if not needed.
This is a pretty good link on tag helpers that would be useful for what you're trying to accomplish.

I'm facing problem to hide action name controller name. I searched lot of articles but still I cannot get satisfactory answer. I can hide only controller name.
e.g.
www.mynewsite.com/Account/Registration
www.mynewsite.com/home/about
but I want same url like www.mynewsite.com only for all. Is it possible? If yes, how to achieve this?
You can do this trick using java script after loading your page.
just try within your document.ready function
window.history.pushState("object or string", "Title", "/");
Note: URL will be visible before loading your page.
I have an MVC 4 project with a layout page that I have setup with images that are links like this
<img id="logoImage" src="~/Content/siteImages/myLogo.png" alt="My logo" title="Welcome to my site" />
I have also tried this:
<img id="logoImage" src="../Content/siteImages/myLogo.png" alt="My logo" title="Welcome to my site" />
And this:
<img id="logoImage" src="#Url.Content("~/Content/siteImages/myLogo.png")" alt="My logo" title="Welcome to my site" />
These all work fine as long as the controller is the home controller. I use an Actionlink #Html.ActionLink("Northwind Demo", "Northwind", "Northwind", null, new { #class="links"}) to get to another controller.
As soon as the ActionLink is clicked, my images disappear. I examined the rendered link text in the browser and it is the same as it was before.
src="Content/siteImages/myLogo.png"
However, when examining the request in the network tab of the browser the url for the image is now
Northwind/Content/siteImages/myLogo.png
which does not resolve. For some reason the browser is adding the name of the controller to the beginning of the request for the image. I am sure that I am missing something really dumb but...
How do I fix this?
Edit
I wonder if this is an issue that only happens when running locally and may disappear when deployed to a server? I am still unable to fix this.
Edit
I am really struggling with the fact that no one else has encountered this before. I was under the impression that _layout.cshtml was like a master page in WebFroms. I need some suggestions here.
EDIT
So I had a moment of success. I changed the name of the entry method into the Northwind controller to Index and the images displayed properly in the index view. However, if I call another view, then the images disappear again.
I use radion buttons to select a different view based on which one is selected like this:
public ActionResult Search()
{
int id = Convert.ToInt32(Request.Form["radio"]);
switch (id)
{
case 1:
return View("Customer");
case 2:
return View("Orders");
case 3:
return View("Employees");
default:
ViewBag.Error = "Search parameter not found";
return View("Index");
}
}
I am still not able to fix this but I think that I am closer to a solution with someone's help.
Thanks in advance
Don't use relative addressing in MVC, since as you can tell you run into problems because views can be accessed from multiple routes (ie, /, /Home, /Home/Index, etc.. are all the same view, but different paths, if you use ../whatever then /Home/Index becomes /Home/whatever, / and /Home become /whatever)
Always use either #Url.Content to generate urls if you're not in a Razor 2+ view. If you're in Razor 2 or greater, then you can use src="~/Content/images/whatever"
If these methods are not working, then you need to look at your Application root, web.config, etc.. because MVC is becoming confused about where the root of the site is.
Well I have figured this out and I feel like an idiot! I have a script file that I use to change the images when it becomes small enough so that they continue to fit on the screen as it gets smaller for a responsive design. Like this:
$("#logoImage").attr("src", "Content/siteImages/logoSmall.png");
Well, the missing / at the very beginning is what was causing the issue. Adding the / fixed all my issues. Like this:
$("#logoImage").attr("src", "/Content/siteImages/logoSmall.png");
Even though I feel very silly at this moment, I am posting my answer in case someone else comes along and has a similar issue. Don't forget your script files and don't leave anything out when trying to fix a weird issue. Thanks to everyone that looked at this and tried to help.
This view suppose to show a list of hyperlinks, each pointing to an external URL. The goal is for the user to click one of these links and have their browser open a new tab with the selected URL.
Currently I have the following markup:
#Html.ActionLink("SomeSite", "http://subdomain.mydomain.com/SomeSite")
This markup produces:
http://localhost:58980/AccessInstance/http%3a/subdomain.mydomain.com/SomeSite
instead of :
http://subdomain.mydomain.com/SomeSite
What can I change in my markup to make this work as I expect?
You don't need to use #Html.ActionLink for that. Just use a plain A tag:
SomeSite
Html.ActionLink is specifically for generating links to actions defined in MVC controllers, in the same app. Since you're linking to an absolute URL, you don't need any of the functionality that Html.ActionLink provides.
Two ways :
1. update the database column with full link:
eg SQL:
update ProductTable set ProductLink='http://www.example.com/Product/Mobiles' where ID=123
In asp mvc view
View
2. Hardcode the http part and list from model
View
Hope helps someone.
While a ViewBag is overused and not the best choice most of the time this is something that I had done when inheriting someone else's mvc app to do a quick fix for a URL that I needed to redirect to with a specific dynamically changing querystring parameter
<a target="_parent" href="http://localhost:56332/services/#ViewBag.factory">View Service</a>
Using .NET Core 6
This seems to be the most correct answer:
Link
This will generate the following result:
As you can see at the bottom left corner of the window before clicking the link, the URL address was rendered as it is (NOTE: The cursor was recorded out of place for some reason, that's a ShareX problem, ignore it).
Than link will be directly saved as a nvarchar(750) type (probably any character like type will do the work). No changes to the original link were made before saving it or on reading:
You need to take into account your RouteConfiguration.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}"
because you are specifying the action link as the entire link that you want to redirect.
I would recommend that you use the #rossipedia answer because you can make tricky things like putting a span inside the link
Here to display link that are clickable in index page
<td>
#Html.ActionLink(item.FileName, "../Uploads/Catalogue/"+item.FileName)
</td>
Even If the url is same can i go to different action using Html.RouteLink and Action Link.Like when i click on news link i will go to news details.The url of this page is http://localhost:1390/en-US/latestnews/125.Now if i select the ddl of language in the site header in this pagei need to
go to the home page of the site.The ddl (on change) will take the same url but this time it needs to go to action in the sane controller.
The URL will direct to the controller/action on the first routing entry that it matches regardless of how you generate it. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish, but I suspect that what you need to do is use javascript to direct to a different url, perhaps generated with Html.RouteLink instead of Html.ActionLink based on the value of the drop down list when it's selected. If I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do, please clarify.
The ActiveScaffold list view has a search form that is loaded via ajax when a user click the search link. I'd prefer to have the form show by default when a user opens a list page.
I've figured out a way to trigger the ajax call when the page loads, but I'm wondering if there's a way to get ActiveScaffold to render the form automatically. Is there a template or a method I can override? I've had a look through the code but there's nothing obvious, at least to me.
Update:
srboisvert's answer inspired me to have a better look.
The trick is to use Template overrides to refactor the following: list.rhtml, _list_header.rhtml, _search.rhtml so that the search form partial renders inline.
There is a way to get it rendered automatically:
active_scaffold :model do |config|
config.list.always_show_search = true
end
I don't currently have an active scaffold project handy but here is how I would figure it out.
I'd use firefox with firebug installed and take a look at what is called when the link is clicked. Then I would go look at that javascript and what it is generating. Then I would search the source for any part of the code or combination that would be fairly unique to the search box ajax. After that it should be easy to cut and past it in without the ajaxyness.
The option
config.list.always_show_search = true
works fine, but only on concrete controller. It throws an exception when used in AS set_default block. Somebody know better solution then to include it in every controller (apart from overriding the template which is handy but complicates version updates)
