Receive data from ASP.NET MVC url parameters

Question

I am new to the ASP.NET MVC framework. I am trying to get data from url parameters, then from my controller I want to return with ViewBag.

But the problem is, when I type that url in the browser, in debug mode, the data is not being returned correctly. Please have a look at

to see debug results. Any idea what's wrong here?

The Url I am using is:

http://localhost:60617/CategoryResearch/test/name=john?id=33

My controller:

public ActionResult test(string name, string id)
{
    ViewBag.name = name;
    ViewBag.id = id;

    return View();
}

There are multiple issues in your code, your default route is expecting id as parameter and so taking 'name=john' as parameter value. you should create a custome route and use url as localhost:60617/CategoryResearch/test/john/33 — ssilas777

Url does not look right to me. Try /CategoryResearch/test?name=john&id=33.

Your route seems to be setup to pull the id from the URL path, which is why it's getting the entire value of the last step in the path ("name=john").

I think you either need to pass the actual id number in the URL path like this: http://localhost:60617/CategoryResearch/test/33?name=john

or you need to move all parameters into the query string: http://localhost:60617/CategoryResearch/test?name=john&id=33
