Hi Developers,
I have a controller to which I want to POST 2 items via AJAX: a complex object (my entire viewmodel), and an integer (the id of a particular row). This particular project is in VB .Net, but if someone can answer this in C#, that would be fine (I know both languages fairly well). Either language would work.
I can POST the viewmodel to the controller without any problem. Once I try to include the integer, the controller can no longer route the request. I know that it is probably an issue of how I am formatting the data that I POST, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what I need to do.
My controller action looks like:
<HttpPost>
Public Function UpdateFromDate(viewModel As RetirementBenefitEstimateViewModel, estimateId) As ActionResult
If viewModel IsNot Nothing AndAlso viewModel.Estimate IsNot Nothing AndAlso viewModel.Estimate.RetirementBenefitsEstimates IsNot Nothing Then
For Each item In viewModel.Estimate.RetirementBenefitsEstimates.Where(Function(est) est.EstimateId = estimateId)
' this is where I update the affected row
item.UpdateFromDate(viewModel.DateOfBirth, viewModel.EmploymentStartDate, viewModel.PersonId)
Next item
End If
' Get the previous ViewModel from session
PerformSessionAction(Of RetirementBenefitEstimateViewModel)(SessionConstants.RetirementEstimate, currentEstimate, SessionAction.GetVar)
' update it's .Estimate property
currentEstimate.Estimate = viewModel.Estimate
' save the updated ViewModel to session
PerformSessionAction(Of RetirementBenefitEstimateViewModel)(SessionConstants.RetirementEstimate, currentEstimate, SessionAction.SetVar)
' finished!
Return New HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.OK)
End Function
The jquery AJAX call in my view looks like:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '@Url.Action("UpdateFromDate")',
data: { viewModel : model, estimateId : 3 }
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
async: false,
cache: false,
success: function (msg) {
//alert(JSON.stringify(msg));
return true;
},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
//alert(errorThrown);
return false;
}
});How can I POST my viewmodel and the integer?
Thanks in advance.
