Post calls RedirectToAction but view specified in RedirectToAction is not rendered
- by W4IK
Here's some of the html
<form id="frmSubmit" action="/Viewer" style="display:none;">
<div id="renderSubmit" class="renderReport">
<input type="hidden" name="reportYear" id="reportYear" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="reportMonth" id="reportMonth" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="propIds" id="propIds" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="reportName" id="reportName" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="reportYearFrom" id="reportYearFrom" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="reportMonthFrom" id="reportMonthFrom" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="reportYearTo" id="reportYearTo" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="reportMonthTo" id="reportMonthTo" value="" />
</div>
</form>
a little further down the page
<div id="reportList" class="renderReport">
<fieldset style="width:105%;">
<legend class="reportStepLegend">Step 3. <br /> Click a report name below to view a report</legend>
<br />
<% foreach (ReportMetaData item in (ReportMetaDataContainer)ViewData.Model) { %>
<div>
<input id=<%=item.SSRSName%> type="button" class="reportLink" value="<%=item.DisplayName%>" />
</div>
<%}%>
</fieldset>
</div>
Here's the javascript that gets called when the button is clicked
$('.reportLink').click(function() {
if (CheckDateAndProps() === true) {
$('#reportName').val(this.id);
var formData = $("#frmSubmit").serializeArray();
$.post('Home/PostViewer/', formData);
}
});
Note...i did have the $.post like so earlier...but it didn't seem to make any difference
$.post('Home/PostViewer/',
formData,
function(data) {
alert(data.Result);
}, "json");
Here's the controller code
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult PostViewer(string reportYear,
string reportMonth,
string propIds,
string reportName,
string reportYearFrom,
string reportMonthFrom,
string reportYearTo,
string reportMonthTo)
{
return RedirectToAction("Viewer");
}
All is good in the world up to this point..I'm hitting the above method and all the values are populated.
Here's the get ActionResult method
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public ActionResult Viewer(string reportYear,
string reportMonth,
string propIds,
string reportName,
string reportYearFrom,
string reportMonthFrom,
string reportYearTo,
string reportMonthTo)
{
return View();
}
I'm hitting this too...not seeing any values in the parameters...but that's just because I haven't passed them in yet...I don't think that's whats keeping the Viewer page from displaying.?
Now...one would one expect the Viewer view to be rendered...right?...well all I see is the page that this was called from...it never displays the Viewer page???!!?!?
Here's the routes from global.asax
routes.MapRoute(
"Viewer", // Route name
"Home/Viewer", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Viewer" } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" } // Parameter defaults
);
I can browse directly to the page
http://localhost:50083/Home/Viewer
and when I do so I hit the get ActionResult method and the page renders just fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
