Search view : MVC - asp.net-mvc

Question

I need to make a "Search and filter view"
My problem:
I want to create a Search view where the user selects by which attribute he wants to search and than enters something in textbox and submits it. The view than goes to controller finds what it needs to find and displays it
My view goes into the part that is written for when the HttpPost function in controller is done. But it goes in early. I have trouble displaying my results here's controller code part:
public ActionResult Filter()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Filter(string option, string search, FormCollection fc)
{
var bll = new STUDIJSKIPROGRAMBLLProvider();
StudijskiProgramViewModel model = new StudijskiProgramViewModel();
if (option == "skracenicaSmjer")
{
// For now I just putted some random number to get some data displayed
var program = bll.Fetch(2004);
model.StudijskiProgram = program;
return View(model);
}
else if (option == "skracenicaProfil")
{
return View();
}
else
{
return View();
}
}
And View Code:
#model SolutionC.Models.StudijskiProgramViewModel
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Pretraga studijskih programa";
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("Filter", "StudijskiProgram", FormMethod.Get))
{
<h2>Pretraga studijskih programa</h2>
<b> Kriteriji pretrage: </b>
<input type="radio" name="prvi" value="prvi1"/> <text>Skraćenica profil</text>
#Html.RadioButton("option", "skracenicaSmjer") <text>Skraćenica smjer</text>
#Html.RadioButton("option", "skracenicaProfil") <text> Skraćenica profil </text>
#Html.RadioButton("option", "ECTSOpterecenje")<text>ECTS</text>
#Html.TextBox("search")
<input type = "submit" name = "submit" value = "Traži" />
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("Filter", "StudijskiProgram", FormMethod.Post))
//Don't want my view to display this until i click Submit and my controller sets up data for display
{
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead class="alert alert-info">
<tr>
<th>
Naziv smjera:
</th>
<th>
Naziv profila:
</th>
<th>
Šifra:
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td> #Model.StudijskiProgram.smjer </td> //Compilation fails here
<td> #Model.StudijskiProgram.profil</td>
<td> #Model.StudijskiProgram.IDStudProg </td>
</tr>
</table>
}

Answer 1

You got it all wrong.
#using (Html.BeginForm("Filter", "StudijskiProgram", FormMethod.Post))
Only means "Make me a form tag wrapper with the following attributes` not only show this when button is posted.
You should instead wrap it with a condition, that will only be met when the model property is set.
if (Model.SomeProperty)
{
<table class="table table-striped">
...
}
The bool SomePropery should be declared on your Model and be set to true when you want the post section to appear.
Note: You should return View(model) when wanting the View to know your model.
