Passing PaginatedList to ActionResult MVC C#
- by Darcy
Hi all,
I wanted to create a simple paginated search for my project. I'm having trouble with my 'advanced search' page, where I have several textbox inputs that the user would fill with the appropriate data (basically just several filters).
My view is strongly-typed with the paginatedList class similar to the NerdDinner tutorial.
In my controller, I wanted to pass the PaginatedList as a parameter since my view contains several bits of info from the PaginatedList model. The PaginatedList was null (as parameter), then I changed added the route; the object itself is not null anymore, but the values are.
View:
<%= Html.TextBox("Manufacturers", Model.Manufacturers) %>
<%= Html.TextBox("OtherFilters", Model.FilterX) %>
//...etc etc
Controller:
public ActionResult AdvancedSearchResults(PaginatedList<MyModel> paginatedList) {
//...
}
Any ideas? Am I even going about this correctly? Should I create a ViewModel that encapsulates the paginatedList info as well as the additional info I need instead?
