Maintaining the query string in ASP.Net MVC
- by Mantorok
Hi all
Just beginning my journey in ASP.Net MVC and I have a query about something before I dig myself in too deep.
I have a table, which is paged, and I have 2 controls above the table:
Dropdown that defines order of the results and apply button next to it
Textbox that defines a filter and apply button next to it
What I need to achieve is that if the user changes the order or adds a filter I fire of an AJAX call to my action like such: /Membership/Users?sort=value&filter=value&page=pagenumber. So my controller action is:
// GET Membership/Users?sort=&filter=&page=
public ActionResult Users(string sort, string filter, string page)
So I have 3 questions:
Is this the correct approach?
What would be the best way to ensure that the query string is maintained, bearing in mind that the action will nearly always be called by Jquery/Ajax functions?
If I wanted to link directly to this action passing the arguments would I need to hard-code the querystring?
Thanks
