How can I overload actions in ASP.NET MVC, but with support for GET QueryString? I tried to do something like this:
public JsonResult Find(string q)
{
...
}
public JsonResult Find(string q, bool isBlaBla)
{
...
}
But whenever I access /controller/find?q=abc or /controller/find?q=abc&isBlaBla=false it throws anSystem.Reflection.AmbiguousMatchException.
How to fix this?
You actually don't need to create overloads. All you need to do is create a single action method with all the possible arguments that you expect and it will map the values (where possible) for you.
public JsonResult Find(string q, bool isBlaBla)
{
}
You could even make use of Optional Parameters and Name Arguments if you're using C# 4.0
Nullable<bool> isBlaBla?
bool? isBlaBla instead of Nullable<bool> isBlaBla.ASP.NET doesn't support action overloading with the same HTTP verb.
you should be using routes e.g. find/abc or find/abc/false
if you must use a query string u can use no arguments and access the querystring in the HttpContext
