I have a log-in page. When the user hits the log-in button the button will calla another action method. that action method will have two parameter. the user provided userid and password. then it do some validation and redirect to another action method according to the outcome. I am struggling with there. i guess this is pretty simple. i am new to MVC. Any help would be appriciated.
View

Controller
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Verify_Login(string input_domain_id, string input_domain_password)
//Log-in Logic
return View("Success")

Instead of using form tag use Html.BeginForm HtmlHelper and pass Model from Controller to View for the best practice. Here is link for you to get Getting Started With MVC5.

Based on the mark up above you need not worry about it, When the form is posted the values will get bound to the parameters of the action method, As the parameter names are similar to the form field names.
The above concept is called model binding. The below two links should give you a good idea on the same.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/710776/Introduction-to-ASP-NET-MVC-Model-Binding-An-Absol
http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/aspnet/Understanding-ASP-NET-MVC-Model-Binding.aspx
I have tried to compile a simple example below.
Lets assume there is a view like below.
#model string
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Injection";
}
<h2>Injection</h2>
#using(Html.BeginForm())
{
<div id="formDetails">
#Html.TextBox("UserName")
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="btnTest" value="Click Me" />
</div>
}
The Action method for the same would be like
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Injection(string UserName)
{
return View("Injection");
}
So when i click on the submit button, The form is posted , Since the ViewName is injection, and there is a corresponding action method called injection it will automatically hit that action method. Since the parameter name of the method and field is the same, What ever value is there in the username textbox will get automatically bound to the method parameter.

Multiple actions on the same view/controller in ASP.NET MVC

First of all I want to ask for my bad English. I'm very new to ASP.NET MVC and currently writing my first web app.
I have a controller like this:
namespace MaterialProject.Controllers
{
public class AdminController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Admin()
{
//file some Viewbags from database
}
[HttpPost("UpdatePassword")]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public IActionResult UpdatePassword(EditUser euModel)
{
//database update
}
[HttpPost("UpdateGroupID")]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public IActionResult UpdateGroupID(EditUser euModel)
{
//database update
}
}
}
and I want my view to have 2 submit buttons when the user will choose UpdatePassword I want to execute that action and the user choose UpdateGroupID to execute the other action.
My view called Admin.chtml
<div class="container">
<form asp-controller="Admin" asp-action="UpdatePassword" method="post" class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="alert-danger" asp-validation-summary="ModelOnly"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
<label asp-for="Username" class="control-label" value=""></label>
<select asp-for="ID" class="form-control"
asp-items="#(new SelectList(ViewBag.editUser, "ID", "Username"))"></select>
</div>
<div id="submit">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update Password" />
</div>
</form>
<form asp-controller="Admin" asp-action="UpdateGroupID" method="post" class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="alert-danger" asp-validation-summary="ModelOnly"></div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
<label asp-for="Username" class="control-label" value=""></label>
<select asp-for="ID" class="form-control"
asp-items="#(new SelectList(ViewBag.editUser, "ID", "Username"))"></select>
</div>
<div id="submit">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update GroupID" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
If I execute the above code I get this error:
An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.
InvalidOperationException: The view 'UpdatePassword' was not found. The following locations were searched:
/Views/Admin/UpdatePassword.cshtml
/Views/Shared/UpdatePassword.cshtml
/Pages/Shared/UpdatePassword.cshtml
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewEngines.ViewEngineResult.EnsureSuccessful(IEnumerable originalLocations)
Because I have never created that view.
Is there any way by pressing any from the submit buttons on my form to call different blocks of code from my controller?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Without seeing the full content of those actions, it's hard to say, but I'd guess based upon that error message you have return View(); near the bottom of both of your post actions. Most likely your code inside of both of the posts is actually running, it just doesn't know what to do at the end.
You have several options.
Create views for those actions with the same name
Modify the return View(); to something like return View("Admin"); so it returns the admin view
Change it to a redirect...ex. return RedirectToAction("controller","view");

unable to display the validation messages from #Html.ValidationSummary() in MVC view

I have a fairly simple form created in a partial view and loading the form on a jquery dialog. The view is tightly bound to a model. When the user clicks on the submit button with out entering any inputs, I need to show the validation messages.
<div>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="ssimForm" action="Home/ProcessUploadedFile"
onsubmit="return false;">
<div>
<h3>
Select the file to be uploaded :</h3>
<span>
<input type="file" name="UploadFileName" id="UploadFileName" /></span>
</div>
<div>
<h3>
Select the date range :</h3>
<span class="uslabel">From Date(MM/dd/yyyy): </span>
<input class="usdate" id="usfromdate" name="StartDate" type="date" />
<span class="uslabel">To Date(MM/dd/yyyy): </span>
<input class="usdate" id="ustodate" name="EndDate" type="date" />
</div>
<div>
<br />
<input type="submit" id="submitButton" name="submitButton" value="Process File" />
</div>
#Html.ValidationSummary()
<div class="message-success">
<span>#ViewBag.Confirmation</span>
</div>
<div class="message-error">
<span>#ViewBag.Error</span>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Now comes the actual problem. when I submit the form I am able to see the validationSummary object populated with the messages, but they are not getting rendered on the screen.
I am able to see the messages if I replace the content of the dialog with the response from the jquery ajax call, that fetches the entire view from the server side. I do not want to take this approach as I beleive this is not the correct way to return validation summary in MVC.
Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.
I don't know why you don't have the #using (Html.BeginForm()) { } block.
Here is my blog post for a quick and easy way to set up Validation Summary + Unobtrusive Validation for MVC3+.

Html.BeginForm() does not submit if nothing is selected in a Html.Dropdownlist() helper with optional label

#using (Html.BeginForm("Boxing", "Company",FormMethod.Post))
{
<div class="box">
<div>
<div class="left">
<div class="topLabel">
Id No:</div>
<div class="input_text_65">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Id)
</div>
<div class="botLabel">
percentt:
</div>
<div>
<input type="text" style="width: 50px" name="percent" />%
</div>
</div>
<div class="lastDetailField">
<div class="topLabel">
D/C:
</div>
<div class="select_110">
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.cType, new SelectList((IEnumerable<Model.cType>)ViewData[ViewDataKeys.cTypes]), "----")
</div>
<div class="margin_top_45">
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="submit" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
If I didn't select any option in the dropdownlist (leaving the optionlabel "----" selected) and I press the submit button, the form will not be posted and the focus will be move to the dropdownlist
if I remove the optional Label, like this:
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.cType, new SelectList((IEnumerable)ViewData[ViewDataKeys.cTypes]))
then it will work just fine. I'm thinking if I will put an optional label, does that mean I am required to choose an item? I want the form to be submitted even if I leave the dropdownlist with the optionallabel selected.
thanks in advance!
Do you have a required attribute in your model/viewmoden on cType? I think the clientside validation is kicking in, but because you didn't set a validation helper, you're not seeing the message. The form won't submit though if you select the optional label.

asp mvc user controls

I want to write user control to sending email.
I write that control:
<%# Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<form action="" method="post">
<div class="box">
<div class="box-header">
Rejestracja</div>
<div class="box-content">
<div>
Imię
</div>
<div>
<input name="firstname" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
Nazwisko
</div>
<div>
<input name="lastname" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
Email
</div>
<div>
<input name="email" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
Ulica nr domu mieszkania
</div>
<div>
<input name="street" type="text" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="box-info">
Wypełnij formularz rejestracyjny i dołącz do klubu Oriflame.
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both;">
</div>
</form>
And i put this control in masterpage:
<% Html.RenderPartial("Kontakt"); %>
That control named :kontakt.aspx" and it is in shared folder
My question is where i must write code with sending email. What action i myst set in controls form.
This control was be on all sites.
Regards
The form needs to post to a URL that is setup to route to a controller action. That could be the current page's Url or a different Url.
In your controller you want a method that accepts the form fields. This could be a FormCollection object or a strongly typed model who's properties map to the form names.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Foo(FormCollection form)
{
.. use the form collection to construct your email ...
}
If you're using a strongly typed view, rather than building the HTML inputs yourself you could do:
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.FirstName) %>
And in your controller action you can use the model rather than the FormCollection:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Foo(KontaktModel details)
{
.. use the details object to construct your email ...
}
I suggest taking a look through the tutorials at http://asp.net/mvc as well as doing the NerdDinner tutorial.
You have to create some sort of Controller that will receive form data. And you can send those emails from the server (from controller or whatever you chose to send it).
Write your email creation and sending code in a controller method. You'd then call it from this Kontakt partial view like this:
<% using (Html.BeginForm("SendMail", "Mail")) { %>
Where SendMail is the method, and Mail is the name of the controller.
public ActionResult SendMail()
{
//build your mail objects and send as needed.
return View();
}

ValidateAntiForgeryToken failing with jQuery ajax form submission

I have an HTML form, to which I dynamically add a text field and perform a POST request for that form via jQuery to an ASP.NET MVC controller.
If I invoke the POST request without the ValidateAntiForgeryToken attribute on the controller action, it works fine. But, when I add the ValidateAntiForgeryToken attribute to the action I get the following exception:
"A required anti-forgery token was not supplied or was invalid."
Does anyone any ideas as to why this might be?
One point of note is that the token id in the cookie appears to be completely different to the token rendered in the form. Why might these be different?
The action:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public string MyAction(Guid id, Dto dto)
{
//return JSON;
}
The form (as rendered):
<form id="slider" class="fc" method="post" action="/controller/myaction/" name="tabEdit">
<span id="slider_previous" class="sprite" tabindex="0" title="foo">Previous</span>
<input type="hidden" value="mzyg7UWQrHwafoSuoJBvwfraQEtCTAmM9QHYeyMSrAHFHG10BNXM+I2yNgz8zQ8yu/E43eF3yMuHX7YIQwmK3Q==" name="__RequestVerificationToken"/>
<div id="sliderWrap" style="width: 31.243%;">
<ul class="sliderList">
<li id="ID_3d031daf-a7f9-46f2-b4b9-7c9fc6560e3d">
</li>
<li id="ID_78b61634-d88a-4f33-8e48-e0655ad8a958" class="current">
<input class="sliderInput" type="text" value="" name="Bar"/>
<a class="sprite" href="/a/b/78b61634-d88a-4f33-8e48-e0655ad8a958">Delete</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<span id="slider_addNew" class="sprite" tabindex="0" title="Add new">New</span>
<span id="slider_next" class="sprite" tabindex="0" title="See next">Next</span>
</form>
The original view rendering the anti-forgery token:
<form id="slider" class="fc" method="post" action="/controller/myaction/" name="tabEdit">
<%=Html.AntiForgeryToken(OurNamespace.MVC.Constants.SaltValue) %>
<ul class="noJs">
<!-- etc -->
</ul>
</form>
You are specifying a custom salt when you generate your AntiForgeryToken, you need to provide this salt to the ValidateAntiForgeryToken attribute as well.
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken(Salt=OurNamespace.MVC.Constants.SaltValue)]
