I have trouble with formcollection.
I have some form in view, and two submit buttons both with unique name="". On debug I get on controller in formcollection all data except "name" of submitted button... I don't know why, 'cos I use this in other forms and there it works good. So I look at the code, but I couldn't find any differencies in using formcollection on not working formcol and working formcol. I tried rename buttons, move them, add referencies which I thought that could help... Nothing. On every submit skip my condition because it give me back only "false" and formcollection my "upload" or "save" button on onclick doesn't contain...
So I would like to ask you for help with this. Can you tell me where could be an error? Thanks to all!
This is in controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult EditUser(EditUserVM model, int id, FormCollection c)
{
//c["upload"] is everytime set to null, 'cos c does't contain it
if (c["upload"] != null)
{
//.... some code
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
//.... next code
}
return View("EditUser", model);
}
This is in View:
@model PrukazOnline.ViewModels.EditUserVM
@{
ViewBag.Title = "EditUser";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")"></script>
@using (Html.BeginForm("EditUser", "User", null, FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "form-horizontal", id = "formstep", enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
@*Here is some code - @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.something) and @Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.something) - all of these are in formcollection*@
.

.
.
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Nahrát" class="upl" name="upload" id="upload" />
</div>
<div class="submit_buttons">
<input type="submit" name="save" id="save" value="Uložit" />
</div>
}
Issue is in multiple submit inputs in single form. There will only clicked button in FormCollection
.
I suppose you try to vary form processing base on clicked button, in this case it's better to use different Actions for each button like this:
View:
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Nahrát" class="upl" name="upload" id="upload" />
</div>
<div class="submit_buttons">
<input type="submit" name="save" id="save" value="Uložit" />
</div>
Controller:
[HttpParamAction]
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Upload(EditUserVM model)
{
...
}
[HttpParamAction]
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save(EditUserVM model)
{
...
}
