Retrieve Value Partial View and Pass to Controller

Question

I have a partial view that allows a user to select a customer. When the user selects the customer they will clock on the LoadConfiguration button in the view.

I want the view to pass the selected customer to the controller action method so that I can use it in my logic when loading the files.

Can someone advise the best way to do this my code so far is below:

Partial View

 @model Mojito.Models.Customer @using (Html.BeginForm()) { @Html.AntiForgeryToken() <div class="form-horizontal"> <hr /> @Html.ValidationSummary(true) <div class="form-group"> @Html.LabelFor(model => model.CustomerId, "Customer", new {@class = "control-label col-md-2"}) <div class="col-md-10"> @Html.DropDownList("CustomerId", String.Empty) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CustomerId) </div> </div> </div> }

View

 @using Mojito.Models @model Mojito.Models.MojitoXmlConfiguration @{ ViewBag.Title = "Mojito Load Config"; } <div>@Html.Partial("~/Views/Shared/_Customer.cshtml")</div> @using (Html.BeginForm("Load", "MojitoXmlConfiguration", FormMethod.Post)) { @Html.AntiForgeryToken() <div class="form-horizontal"> <hr /> @Html.ValidationSummary(true) <div class="form-group"> <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10"> <label for="file">Filename:</label> <input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> <input type="submit" value="Load Mojito Configuration" class="btn btn-default" /> </div> </div> </div> } <div> @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index") </div>

Controller

 using System.Web.Mvc; using Mojito.Models; namespace Mojito.Controllers { public class MojitoXmlConfigurationController : Controller { private MojitoContext _db = new MojitoContext(); // // GET: /MojitoXmlConfiguration/ public ActionResult Index() { ViewBag.CustomerId = new SelectList(_db.Customers, "CustomerId", "CustomerName"); return View(); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Load() { var mojitoXml = new MojitoXmlConfiguration.Importer(@"C:\Users\Documents\XML Files\SampleList"); mojitoXml.ImportWsaHolidayUsingXElement(); ViewBag.CustomerId = new SelectList(_db.Customers, "CustomerId", "CustomerName"); return View("Index"); } } }

Based on your setup, it looks like your partial view will POST back to the Index action. I would add another action method like so

[HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(int CustomerId) { //process Return View("Load") }

Hi Thanks - That did not really resolve my issue, but you gave me some ideas. I have now just moved the partial view into the form that contains the post back/submit for load configuration. I can now pass the value into my code - thank you
