It seems that once I define my Form like -->
using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "MyController", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "myForm" }))
The additional parameters being passed are now null.
MyController/Create/4?pid=61&status=Initiated
pid and status returns null although the parameters are being passed as above. What is causing these querystring parameters to be be null?
Using Request["myparameter"] or simply getting value from action method parameter returns null.
Try this
Html.BeginForm("Create", "MyController", new { pid = Request.QueryString["pid"] }, FormMethod.Post, new { id = "myForm" }))
What you are saying is very weird as the following works perfectly fine for me:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(string pid, string foo)
{
// the pid and foo parameters are correctly assigned here
return View();
}
}
and in the view:
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", new { pid = "63" }, FormMethod.Post, new { id = "myForm" }))
{
@Html.TextBox("foo", "some value")
<input type="submit" value="OK" />
}
pid value but you could fetch it from the current Request as well if it is present: new { pid = Request["pid"] }).Html.BeginForm() helper without specifying any argument it simply uses the current url as action. So if there were argument in it they are automatically copied. If you use some of the other overloads you need to specify them manually.
