Parameter not getting passed in AJAX call

Question

I am using the following code

function test() { GetAttributesForSelectedControlType('Phone Number'); } function GetAttributesForSelectedControlType(questionType) { alert(questionType); $.ajax({ url: '/Wizards/GetAttributesForSelectedControlType/' + questionType, type: "GET", contentType: "application/json", success: function (result) { alert('success'); } }); }

PLEASE NOTE: QUESTIONTYPE is a STRING value and not any type..

The issue is that in the controller, I m getting a hit on "GetAttributesForSelectedControlType" function but the parameter value is coming null. I am sending string in questionType. any ideas on this?

Show us the code from where you are passing the parameter i.e. how you are calling the function. — Microsoft DN

if you are looking to pass question type as an argument you should use data:{qType:questionType} this will fill the argument qType of the function GetAttributesForSelectedControlType

it does not matter if it is a simple string or another object. Ideally with what you are doing you should not even hit the controller with what you are doing, if questionType has any value. Any of the solutions posted above is the correct way to do this.

Try:

function GetAttributesForSelectedControlType(questionType) { $.get('/Wizards/GetAttributesForSelectedControlType', {questionType: questionType }) .done(function(data) { alert('success'); }); }

You need to pass in questionType as a data. Alternatively you could just add the follwoing into your existing ajax call.

data: {questionType: questionType }

This will work with the following action:

public ActionResult GetAttributesForSelectedControlType(string questionType) { // ... }
