Ajax Request issue with ASP.NET MVC 4 Area - asp.net-mvc

Today i discovered something weird, i have regular asp.net mvc 4 project with no such ajax (just post, get). so today i need ajax request, i did an ajax action with jquery in controller and it didn't work out. Here is my code
Areas/Admin/Controllers/BannersController
public JsonResult SaveOrder(string model)
{
bool result = false;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(model))
{
var list = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<int>>(model);
result = repository.SaveOrder(list);
}
return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
View side (Its in area too)
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#saveOrder").click(function () {
var data = JSON.stringify($("#list_banners").nestable('serialize'));
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("SaveOrder", "Banners", new { area = "Admin" })',
data: { model: data },
success: function (result) {
if (result) {
toastr.success('Kaydedildi.');
}
else {
toastr.error('kaydedilemedi.');
}
},
error: function (e) {
console.log(e);
}
});
});
});
i've already tried everything i know, which is $.post, $.get, ajax options, trying request from out of area etc.. just request can't reach action
and here is the errors ,
http://prntscr.com/297nye
error object
http://prntscr.com/297o3x

Try by specifying the data format (json) you wand to post to server like and Also change the way you pass data object in JSON like this :
var data = $("#list_banners").nestable('serialize');
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("SaveOrder", "Banners", new { area = "Admin" })',
data: JSON.stringify({ model: data }),
dataType: 'json',
contentType: "application/json",
...

I had same issue, but after spending too much time, got solution for that. If your request is going to your specified controller, then check your response. There must be some problem in your response. In my case, response was not properly converted to JSON, then i tried with passing some values of response object from controller using select function, and got what i needed.

Save Image Into Database using api

I have a web application with many layers (DAL, BLL, SL, UI), each layer in a separate project.
I am consuming a Web API in the presentation layer (UI) using ajax, where I am using single page application.
Example: in index action in home controller in the presentation layer(UI) only refers to view:
public class MaCityController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View("~/Views/Mainten/MasterFile/MaCity/Index.cshtml");
}
}
and in this view I am doing my CRUD operation using Web API and Ajax:
function Add() {
var NameAr = $('#NameAr').val();
var NameEn = $('#NameEn').val();
var Image = $('#FileName').val();
var newData = new Object();
newData.NameAr = NameAr;
newData.NameEn = NameEn;
newData.Image=Image;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: APIURL + "api/MaCity/Add",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: JSON.stringify(newData),
success: function () {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
debugger;
loadData();
},
failure: function (data) {
alert(data.statusText);
},
error: function (data) {
alert(data.statusText);
}
});
}
}
My posting code in Sl as
[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Add(City scItem)
{
_unitOfWork.GetRepository<City>().Add(scItem);
_unitOfWork.SaveChanges();
return Ok();
}
Where api In another Application with different port than presentation Layer (UI)
and any dealing with database occurs in SL (NO DEAL WITH DATA IN UI).
I need to upload an image to the server and save (image server url) into the database.
I read many articles but I can't find solution to solve my problem.
Any help?
Have you tried checking if the file is getting added to the json request object? there are a few ways you can try this, e.g using a tool like Telerik Fiddler
inside your json post method, check if there are any files in your form
var file =$(this).prop('files')[0];
A somewhat example would be the following
add the image to FormData
formdata = new FormData();
if($(this).prop('files').length > 0)
{
var file =$(this).prop('files')[0];
formdata.append("image", file);
}
Then finally post the post the image
jQuery.ajax({
url: "api_path,
type: "POST",
data: formdata,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success: function (result) {
// if all is well
// play the audio file
}
});
You can also try sending the data from your Controller(assuming you are using some MVC flavour)

Errors when passing data via jquery ajax

I have a pretty simple ajax request that I'm sending over to server in order to get some data and fill up my edit modal. But for some reason it keeps returning with error and I can't figure out why. I've debugged the server side, parameter comes in correctly and all data is properly found and returned, still an error though.
Here's my code so someone might see what am I missing here.
Request:
function EditNorm(id) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "#Url.Action("GetNormViewModel")",
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: JSON.stringify({id : id}),
cache: false,
success: function(data) {
FillFormForEditing(data.nvm);
},
error: function() {
alert("Error On EditNorm function");
}
});
}
Server side:
public JsonResult GetNormViewModel(int id)
{
var nvm = new NormViewModel {Norm = db.Norms.Find(id), Materials = db.Materials.ToList()};
return Json(new {nvm = nvm}, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Firstly: You are using a POST method on your javascript while your controller accepts a Get, add this to your action:
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult GetNormViewModel(int id)
{
return Json(new { ... });
}
Secondly: What is db is it LinqToSQL / Entity Framework context? If so, make sure no call to your data context is performed after the data is returned. (i.e. changed your action and simply return return Json(new { nvm = "test" }); and console.log/alert to make sure you've got the result back. This will tells you that its your model that failed when it's returned due to some late binding.

mvc json request life cycle

I'm pretty new to asp.net and MVC.
I was trying to use json request and populate some text boxes.
but I noticed when I'm using json, I can not access values of the other text boxes in my view.
for example
string s2 = Request.Form["selectedTestCategory"];
would generate s2 = null, when I debug.
but if I put a submit button on the page, the value is not null. (And so far I know I can only pass one parameter to my JSON method in controller)
My question is what happens when I start a json request? and why I can not get a value from Request.Form[...]
Thanks,
Update:
This is my json
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('select#testStationUniqueId').change(function() {
var testStation = $(this).val();
$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
$.ajax({
url: "TestInput/getTestStationInformation/" + testStation,
type: 'post',
success: function(data) {
$('#driveDetailDiv').empty();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
$.post('TestInput/Details/', { id: data[i] }, function(data2) {
$('#driveDetailDiv').append(data2);
});
}
}
});
});
});
And this is in my controller
public PartialViewResult Details(string id)
{
//DriveDetails t = new DriveDetails(id);
//return PartialView("DriveDetailsPartial", t);
test_instance_input_model ti = new test_instance_input_model();
string s2 = Request.Form["selectedTestCategory"];
repository.setTestInstanceAttributes(ti, id);
return PartialView("TestInstancePartial", ti);
}
the s2 is null in Details, but if I use a submit button, it will have the correct value.
so I'm trying to figure out why it is null when I send a json request.
In your JavaScript your not including any data in the jQuery ajax request (see jQuery ajax). Therefore jQuery isn't adding any request parameters. You need to include a data object which jQuery will turn into parameters i.e. the more properties in the data object the more parameters in the request.
$.ajax({
url: '',
data: { selectedTestCategory: 'category' },
dataType: 'post',
success: function() {}
});
Also, in your controller you can shortcut to the request parameter.
string s2 = Request["selectedTestCategory"];

asp.net mvc 3 json values not recieving at controller

the problem is that i am not able to recieve any value in the controller . what could be wrong? the code is here.
$('#save').click(function () {
var UserLoginViewModel = { UserName: $('vcr_UserName').val(),
Password: $('vcr_Password').val()
};
$.ajax({
url: "/User/Login",
data: JSON.stringify(UserLoginViewModel),
contenttype: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (mydata) {
$("#message").html("Login");
},
error: function () {
$("#message").html("error");
},
type: "POST",
datatype: "json"
});
return false;
});
});
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Login(UserLoginViewModel UserLoginViewModel)
{
}
As you're using MVC3 - you should be able to take advantage of the built in JSON model binding.
Your code example has a couple of typos: contentType and dataType are lowercase...(they should have an uppercase "T")
jQuery ajax docs
After you POST up the correct contentType/dataType, MVC should automatically bind your object to the posted JSON.
You're going to need an action filter or similar to intercept the json from the post body.
Here's a starter
Provider Factory
but here is the article that sorted this for me On Haacked
It is good if you know the type you are deserialising into up front, but if you need polymorphism you'll end up using these ideas in an action filter.

How to send a model in jQuery $.ajax() post request to MVC controller method

In doing an auto-refresh using the following code, I assumed that when I do a post, the model will automatically sent to the controller:
$.ajax({
url: '<%=Url.Action("ModelPage")%>',
type: "POST",
//data: ??????
success: function(result) {
$("div#updatePane").html(result);
},
complete: function() {
$('form').onsubmit({ preventDefault: function() { } });
}
});
Every time there is a post, I need to increment the value attribute in the model:
public ActionResult Modelpage(MyModel model)
{
model.value = model.value + 1;
return PartialView("ModelPartialView", this.ViewData);
}
But the model is not passed to the controller when the page is posted with jQuery AJAX request. How can I send the model in the AJAX request?
The simple answer (in MVC 3 onwards, maybe even 2) is you don't have to do anything special.
As long as your JSON parameters match the model, MVC is smart enough to construct a new object from the parameters you give it. The parameters that aren't there are just defaulted.
For example, the Javascript:
var values =
{
"Name": "Chris",
"Color": "Green"
}
$.post("#Url.Action("Update")",values,function(data)
{
// do stuff;
});
The model:
public class UserModel
{
public string Name { get;set; }
public string Color { get;set; }
public IEnumerable<string> Contacts { get;set; }
}
The controller:
public ActionResult Update(UserModel model)
{
// do something with the model
return Json(new { success = true });
}
If you need to send the FULL model to the controller, you first need the model to be available to your javascript code.
In our app, we do this with an extension method:
public static class JsonExtensions
{
public static string ToJson(this Object obj)
{
return new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(obj);
}
}
On the view, we use it to render the model:
<script type="javascript">
var model = <%= Model.ToJson() %>
</script>
You can then pass the model variable into your $.ajax call.
I have an MVC page that submits JSON of selected values from a group of radio buttons.
I use:
var dataArray = $.makeArray($("input[type=radio]").serializeArray());
To make an array of their names and values. Then I convert it to JSON with:
var json = $.toJSON(dataArray)
and then post it with jQuery's ajax() to the MVC controller
$.ajax({
url: "/Rounding.aspx/Round/" + $("#OfferId").val(),
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'html',
data: json,
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
beforeSend: doSubmitBeforeSend,
complete: doSubmitComplete,
success: doSubmitSuccess});
Which sends the data across as native JSON data.
You can then capture the response stream and de-serialize it into the native C#/VB.net object and manipulate it in your controller.
To automate this process in a lovely, low maintenance way, I advise reading this entry that spells out most of native, automatic JSON de-serialization quite well.
Match your JSON object to match your model and the linked process below should automatically deserialize the data into your controller. It's works wonderfully for me.
Article on MVC JSON deserialization
This can be done by building a javascript object to match your mvc model. The names of the javascript properties have to match exactly to the mvc model or else the autobind won't happen on the post. Once you have your model on the server side you can then manipulate it and store the data to the database.
I am achieving this either by a double click event on a grid row or click event on a button of some sort.
#model TestProject.Models.TestModel
<script>
function testButton_Click(){
var javaModel ={
ModelId: '#Model.TestId',
CreatedDate: '#Model.CreatedDate.ToShortDateString()',
TestDescription: '#Model.TestDescription',
//Here I am using a Kendo editor and I want to bind the text value to my javascript
//object. This may be different for you depending on what controls you use.
TestStatus: ($('#StatusTextBox'))[0].value,
TestType: '#Model.TestType'
}
//Now I did for some reason have some trouble passing the ENUM id of a Kendo ComboBox
//selected value. This puzzled me due to the conversion to Json object in the Ajax call.
//By parsing the Type to an int this worked.
javaModel.TestType = parseInt(javaModel.TestType);
$.ajax({
//This is where you want to post to.
url:'#Url.Action("TestModelUpdate","TestController")',
async:true,
type:"POST",
contentType: 'application/json',
dataType:"json",
data: JSON.stringify(javaModel)
});
}
</script>
//This is your controller action on the server, and it will autobind your values
//to the newTestModel on post.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult TestModelUpdate(TestModel newTestModel)
{
TestModel.UpdateTestModel(newTestModel);
return //do some return action;
}
I think you need to explicitly pass the data attribute. One way to do this is to use the
data = $('#your-form-id').serialize();
This post may be helpful.
Post with jquery and ajax
Have a look at the doc here..
Ajax serialize
you can create a variable and send to ajax.
var m = { "Value": #Model.Value }
$.ajax({
url: '<%=Url.Action("ModelPage")%>',
type: "POST",
data: m,
success: function(result) {
$("div#updatePane").html(result);
},
complete: function() {
$('form').onsubmit({ preventDefault: function() { } });
}
});
All of model's field must bo ceated in m.
In ajax call mention-
data:MakeModel(),
use the below function to bind data to model
function MakeModel() {
var MyModel = {};
MyModel.value = $('#input element id').val() or your value;
return JSON.stringify(MyModel);
}
Attach [HttpPost] attribute to your controller action
on POST this data will get available
