How can I use Html.BeginForm to link from within an area to an action and controller not in an area? I am using:
using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm", #class = "navbar-right" }))
When I click the button it is looking for the controller in the area but it is not there.
Appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks on helpful comments, The solution is:
using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", new { area = "" }, FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm", #class = "navbar-right" }))
Try explicitly providing null or empty string "" as the area:
using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { area = null, id = "logoutForm", #class = "navbar-right" }))

I have an #Html.ActionLink() as such
#Html.ActionLink("Ändra lösenord!!", "ChangePassword", "Manage", new { area = "Account" }, new { #class = "settingsMenu" })
But it wont take my class, how can I add a css-class to my ActionLink that has an area defined already?
On another link (without area it works fine)
#Html.ActionLink("Skapa konto", "Register", "", new { #class = "loginfront" })
You must change your code as follow:
Edited:
#Html.ActionLink("Ändra lösenord!!", "ChangePassword", new { area = "Account", controller = "Manage" }, new { #class = "settingsMenu" })
It was a conflict of css, added !important to my "settingsMenu" class and now it works.
I need to define a link to LogOff controller which is in my Root shared folder; within BeginForm tag.
#using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity
#if (Request.IsAuthenticated) {
using (Html.BeginForm("", "", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm", action = "Account/LogOff"}))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
#Html.ActionLink("Hello " + User.Identity.GetUserName() + "!", "Index", "Manage", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { title = "Manage" })
#: | Log off
}
}
else {
#Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register", "Account")
#: |
#Html.ActionLink("Login", "Login", "Account")
}
Above works fine if I'm in root folder. But if clicked from Areas, it gives me The resource cannot be found error.
Requested URL: /MyApp/Area/Account/LogOff
The correct link should be /MyApp/Account/LogOff
I saw examples using #HTML.ActionLink but would prefer to keep define it in BeginForm, so the URL is not revealed to user.
I solved the problem with the following code.
First I mapped a route as follows
//Route config for logging off from areas.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "LogOff",
url: "Account/LogOff/",
defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "LogOff" }
);
Then calling the route to logout, I used the following
#using (Html.BeginRouteForm("LogOff", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm" })) {
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
Log off
}
It may be easier to just add the Area routevalue to the BeginForm parameters. Leave it blank to point it to the root area, like this: new { Area = "" }
using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", new { Area = "" }, FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm", #class = "navbar-right" }))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Log off</li>
</ul>
}
This is using MVC 5
When I'm clicking ActionLink and setting ViewModel values in controller I can see changes when View being rendered. But same values comes as null into Controller when I'm clicking ActionLink second time.
How do I store the value, so it comes into controller ?
View:
#Ajax.ActionLink("Click me", "AjaxTest", "Controller", new AjaxOptions()
{
UpdateTargetId = "updatePanel",
HttpMethod = "POST",
OnSuccess = "A()"
})
<div id="updatePanel">
#Html.Partial("~/Views/Shared/_UpdatableContent.cshtml", this.Model)
</div>
Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AjaxTest(MyViewModel model)
{
model.A = "A"
return PartialView("_UpdatableContent", model);
}
Partial view _UpdatableContent:
#Html.HiddenFor(x => x.A)
#if (Model.A == "A")
{
//Draw
}
Try adding this.Model to your ActionLink following:
#Ajax.ActionLink("Click me", "AjaxTest", "Controller", this.Model, new AjaxOptions() { UpdateTargetId = "updatePanel" })
This method passes the model back into the request, which should allow the update to happen.
Probably my biggest gripe with ASP.NET MVC is the fact that the various "Helper" functions are overloaded to the nth-degree, and not always consistently in terms of the order the arguments appear...
Hope that helps :)
I had this very same problem. Setting HttpMethod = "Post" in the AjaxOptions fixed it for me, thanks Sergejs.
My final, working code is as follows
#{
AjaxOptions ajaxOptions = new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "Post",
LoadingElementId = "product-adding-" +#Model.Product.Id,
LoadingElementDuration = 100,
OnSuccess = "AddedToCart"
};
}
<div>
#Ajax.ActionLink("Add to cart",
"AddToCart",
"Cart",
new { id = Model.Product.Id, returnUrl = Request.Url.PathAndQuery },
ajaxOptions,
new { #class = "button" })
<img id="product-adding-#Model.Product.Id" src="~/Images/ajax_loader.gif" />
</div>
I hvae a problem with ActionLink. Here's my code:
#Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home", new { #class = "disabled" })
And the result:
<a class="disabled" href="/?Length=4">Home</a>
Can someone tell me why it's give me "?Length=4". Am I doing something wrong when I request it to use the class of disabled?
I think you're using the wrong method signature...
Try using:
#Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home", null, new { #class = "disabled" })
This is because your htmlAttributes object are passed in as the route data. Change your code to this:
#Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home", null, new { #class = "disabled" })
I'm using MVC areas and on a view that's in an area called "Test" I would like to have a form that posts to the following method:
area: Security
controller: AccountController
method: logon
How can I make this happen with Html.BeginForm? Can it be done?
For those of you that want to know how to get it to work with the default mvc4 template
#using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", new { area = ""}, FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm" }))
Try this:
Html.BeginForm("logon", "Account", new {area="Security"})
Try specifying the area, controller, action as RouteValues
#using (Html.BeginForm( new { area = "security", controller = "account", action = "logon" } ))
{
...
}
Use this for area with HTML Attributes
#using (Html.BeginForm(
"Course",
"Assign",
new { area = "School" },
FormMethod.Get,
new { #class = "form_section", id = "form_course" }))
{
...
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("", "", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm", action = "/Account/LogOff" }))
{#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<a class="signout" href="javascript:document.getElementById('logoutForm').submit()">logout</a>
}
For Ajax BeginForm we can use this
Ajax.BeginForm("IndexSearch", "Upload", new { area = "CapacityPlan" }, new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, UpdateTargetId = updateTarget }, new { id = "search-form", role = "search" })
