How to create the confirm box in mvc controller?

Question

I need to create the confirm box in mvc controller?. Using this 'yes' or 'no' value I need to perform the action in my controller. How we do that?

Sample code:

    public ActionResult ActionName(passing value)
        {
             // some code 
             message box here
               if (true)
                     { true code}
              else { else code}
       }

You dont create confirm box in a Controller, but yes in a View, using JQuery Dialog. The Controller is already inside the server, so you don't have user interactions there. Your View, in the other hand, is the place where the user will choose options, type information, click on buttons etc... You can intercept the button click, to show that dialog, and only submit the post when the option "Yes" gets clicked.

JQuery Dialog requires jquery.js, jquery-ui.js, jquery.ui.dialog.js scripts referenced in your page.

Example:

$(function(){
    $("#buttonID").click(function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        $('<div title="Confirm Box"></div>').dialog({
            open: function (event, ui) {
                $(this).html("Yes or No question?");
            },
            close: function () {
                $(this).remove();
            },
            resizable: false,
            height: 140,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                'Yes': function () {
                    $(this).dialog('close');
                    $.post('url/theValueYouWantToPass');

                },
                'No': function () {
                    $(this).dialog('close');
                    $.post('url/theOtherValueYouWantToPAss');
                }
            }
        });
    });
});
