Question

For OnChange event of a dropdown, I am making a ajax call. In the url path, when I give the Controller/Action path it does not hit the method at all.
My code looks like:

JavaScript

function FillHO() {
    //alert('Test');
    var stateId = $('#ddlHO').val();
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: '@Url.Action("SetSelectedHO","../../Controllers/ReportsController")' 
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        data: '{SelectedValue: "' + stateId + '" }',
        success: function (response) {
            alert('Test');
        },
        failure: function (response) {
        alert(response.d);
    }
    });
}

What I have tried:

I have tried '../../Controllers/ReportsController/SetSelectedHO'
'ReportsController/SetSelectedHO'

Try calling action from Rest Client and check what you are missing

Implement the error function and see what is happening.

You don't need to specify the path when using Url.Action() method. You need to specify the Controller name instead.

So if you have a Controller that was named ReportsController, then you could try doing something like this:

JavaScript

url: '@(Url.Action("SetSelectedHO","Reports"))'

Note that the suffix Controller was omitted when referencing a Controller name. In other words, your ReportsController can be referenced as Reports only. That's part of the convention.

For more information about the other overload methods of Url.Action() method see:UrlHelper.Action Method (System.Web.Mvc)[^]

Use dev tools (F12 in Chrome) to inspect the JavaScript that the client has. You might find the URL supplied for the call is not what you expect it to be.

Does this...

C#

url: '@Url.Action("SetSelectedHO","../../Controllers/ReportsController")'

... generate a valid URL? It looks as though you're setting a literal and not the return value of the @URL.Action method.

Ajax call does not hit the url path in controller/action
