Pass two parameters to controller method

Question

See more:

My default route is

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Default",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

Now in the controller, I have the method.

public ActionResult LanguageEdit(int id)
       {

The corresponding code in the view is:

<div class="widget-content">
                       @using (Html.BeginForm("Language", "Country", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
                       {
                           @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.CountryId)
                           @Html.Grid(Model.Languages).Columns(column =>
                      {
                          column.For(m => m.LanguageName).Named("Languages");
                          column.For(m => String.Format("<a class='btn btn-primary' href='/Country/LanguageEdit/{0}'>Edit</a> <a href='#deleteConfirmModal' role='button' data-toggle='modal' class='btn btn-danger deleteBtn'><input type='hidden' id='countryId' value='{0}'/>Remove</a>", m.CountryId)).Named("Actions").Encode(false);
                      }).Attributes(@class => "table")
                       }
                   </div>

We pass id (CountryId) to the method.
However for some reason, I have to pass another parameter languageId to the controller method.

So what is the best way?

What I have tried:

tried this, but still not clear. Need code assistance. Specifically in the view.

If it's part of the model use the same code you have for CountryId. If it's not then use

@Html.Hidden("languageId", languageId)

Read it using normal model binding or Request.Form["languageId"]

Do I have to change the route?

F-ES Sitecore 12-Jul-17 12:10pm

Nope. The route is when you want to get values from the url structure (as opposed to querystring values), you are passing your values as form fields.

Member 12658724 12-Jul-17 12:24pm

I am struggling with the route url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}". It has only one parameter but I have to pass two parameters.

F-ES Sitecore 13-Jul-17 4:15am

No need to change the route, just add this to the form

@Html.Hidden("languageId", languageId)

then add a languageId param to your Language action

public ActionResult Language(YourModel model, int? languageId)

the languageId param will then be populated with that hidden value. I've assumed it is an int, change the type as neccessary

As I said. I am not sure the code in the view.

                           column.For(m => String.Format("<a class='btn btn-primary' href='/Campaign/LanguageEdit/{0}'>Edit</a> <a href='#deleteConfirmModal' role='button' data-toggle='modal' class='btn btn-danger deleteBtn'><input type='hidden' id='countryId' value='{0}'/>Remove</a>", m.CountryId)).Named("Actions").Encode(false);

The above code is for one parameter. If I add the second parameter. I don't know how to modify it. I think it is likely as

                           column.For(m => String.Format("<a class='btn btn-primary' href='/Campaign/LanguageEdit/{0}'>Edit</a> <a href='#deleteConfirmModal' role='button' data-toggle='modal' class='btn btn-danger deleteBtn'><input type='hidden' id='countryId' value='{0}'/>Remove</a>", ?m.CountryId&m.LanguageId)).Named("Actions").Encode(false);

Am I right?

Don't think that would work, why can't you just use Html.Hidden? Or if LanguageId is part of the model then use HiddenFor as you are with CountryId.

Member 12658724 13-Jul-17 9:26am

Both CountryId and LanguageId are part of the model. I just don't know how put them in the razor code. I need code.

F-ES Sitecore 13-Jul-17 9:37am

@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.CountryId)
@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.LanguageId)

Member 12658724 13-Jul-17 9:45am

Would you paste the entire code? Sorry for ignorance. I would like modify the entire code. You can place it in the answer so I can mark it as the answer.
My original code was:

<div class="widget-content">                        @using (Html.BeginForm("Language", "Country", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))                        {                            @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.CountryId)                            @Html.Grid(Model.Languages).Columns(column =>                       {                           column.For(m => m.LanguageName).Named("Languages");                           column.For(m => String.Format("<a class='btn btn-primary' href='/Country/LanguageEdit/{0}'>Edit</a> <a href='#deleteConfirmModal' role='button' data-toggle='modal' class='btn btn-danger deleteBtn'><input type='hidden' id='countryId' value='{0}'/>Remove</a>", m.CountryId)).Named("Actions").Encode(false);                       }).Attributes(@class => "table")                        }                    </div>

In my opinion the simple way for passing a collection of parameters is create a class that has as many properties as "parameters" do you want.
For example:

public class model1
{
	public int param1;
	public int param2;
	...       
}

And then your controller should be declared as:

public ActionResult LanguageEdit(model1 model)
{
	...
		model1.param1
		...
		model2.param2
	...
}

And inthe view something like:

@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.param1)
    ...
@Html.TextFor(m => m.param2)

This kind of "class" can be extended to any number of "parameters" of any kind (or type)

Sorry I didn't realise you were not submitting the form but rendering a link to click. You'll need to do something like this

column.For(m => String.Format("<a class='btn btn-primary' href='/Country/LanguageEdit/{0}?LanguageId={1}'>Edit</a> <a href='#deleteConfirmModal' role='button' data-toggle='modal' class='btn btn-danger deleteBtn'><input type='hidden' id='countryId' value='{0}'/>Remove</a>", m.CountryId, m.LanguageId)).Named("Actions").Encode(false);

Then change your controller action

public ActionResult LanguageEdit(int id, int? languageId)
        {

"id" will be populated via routing, and languageId populated via standard querystring values
