ASP.NET MVC 5- How can I post textarea value using @Html.ActionLink?
I have the following web page:
And this is part of the partial view code :
I want to pass the value of the textarea to the controller at the "Save" actionlink. I don't want to use buttons for design purposes. I also need to pass the path of the file to write the text to it (since path is always lost when navigating between controller and views). I googled for the problem but the solutions provided either didn't work or I didn't understand them. Is there an easy way to do that?
I tried this:
but it throws: The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.
And this is part of the partial view code :<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li role="presentation" class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
File <span class="caret"></span>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>@Html.ActionLink("New", "NewClass", "Development", null, new { @class = "modal-link" })</li>
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Save","SaveClass",new { path2=Model.path})</li>

Thank you! It now saves the correct value, but I couldn't get rid of the error. I only get it when I redirect to "Index" ActionMethod, but if I access it directly it works.

Could you show your code, which throws error (and also index method which is calling also) to check with?
Yes, I did. still didn't work!

I didn't do anything, just restarted the laptop and the error is gone!! BUT, it's not showing the contents of the file onclick anymore! especially when redirecting to "index" from another webpage. But if I access it directly, it works.
It seems that StudentCodes and MicroG4 objects initialized only once!
Put StudentCodes and MicroG4 objects initialization in Controller's constructor or in every action method!
Like below

Like below
public YOURCONTROLLER_CONSTRUCTOR()
{
StudentsCodes modelSC = new StudentsCodes();
MicroG4 m4 = new MicroG4();
}
public ActionResult Index()
{
// IF you do have initialised in constructor, use below code
// StudentsCodes modelSC = new StudentsCodes();
// MicroG4 m4 = new MicroG4();
modelSC.Student = (Student)CurrentUser;
var user = UserManager.FindById(((Student)CurrentUser).InstructorID);
modelSC.Instructor =(Instructor) user;
modelSC.path = "~/Content/" + CurrentUser.UserName + "/CompilerProject/src";
return View(modelSC);
}
I tried but it still doesn't work! Now when I click on a file, it passes the correct path to the script, but it doesn't even call the action method.
But it only works if I access the "Development Index" directly. Why would the same code execute correctly if the "Index" is accessed directly, but wouldn't if I redirect to it or access it from another webpage?
I'm not sure if this is related, but the dropdown "file" menu in the image above doesn't always work. I mean, at the beginning it works, then if I click on a file and the partial view reloads, it doesn't (it doesn't show the list <New, Save, Delete>). But if I click on a file again it works, and so on...

I sloved it by updating the script that loads the partial view:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.filelist').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
alert('Im clicked on filePath = ' + $(this).attr('value'));
var filePath = $(this).attr('value'); //value is attribute set in Html
$('#partial').load('@Url.Action("DevelopmentPartial", "Development")', { path1: filePath });
});
});
</script>
