Is it possible to implement post-redirect-get pattern, with two overloaded action methods (One for GET action and the other for POST action) in asp.net-mvc.
In all of the MVC post-redirect-get pattern samples, I have seen three different action methods for the post-redirect-get process (corresponding to Initial Get, Post, and the Redirection Get), each having different names. Is this really required to have minimum three action methods with different names, in asp.net-mvc?
For Eg: (Does the code shown below, follows Post-Redirect-Get pattern?)
public class SomeController : Controller
{
// GET: /SomeIndex/
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index(int id)
{
SomeIndexViewModel vm = new SomeIndexViewModel(id) { myid = id };
//Do some processing here
return View(vm);
}
// POST: /SomeIndex/
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(SomeIndexViewModel vm)
{
bool validationsuccess = false;
//validate
if (validationsuccess)
return RedirectToAction("Index", new {id=1234 });
else
return View(vm);
}
}
}
Thank you for your responses.
Think from the unit-testing perspective.
If everything was in a single action, then code would be quite difficult to test and read. I see no problems in your code what so ever.
