Hi Team

I have a problem, my create button does not seem to work well. What the logic is, simply when button is clicked to register my MVC. Meaning it must hit controller, model and view. What it does now its user validation only and it inherits this logic from login methods and need some help.

What I have tried:

C#

<pre> Controller:
     [HttpPost]
            [AllowAnonymous]
            [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
            public ActionResult Create(CreateModel objSubmit)
            {
                ViewBag.Msg = "Details submitted successfully";
    
                return View(objSubmit);
            }
    
    // This is for login, and its hits this method each time.
     [HttpPost]
            [AllowAnonymous]
            [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
            public ActionResult Login(Login login)
            {
                if (ModelState.IsValid)
                {
                    bool success = WebSecurity.Login(login.username, login.password, false);
                    var UserID = GetUserID_By_UserName(login.username);
                    var LoginType = GetRoleBy_UserID(Convert.ToString(UserID));
    
                    if (success == true)
                    {
                        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Convert.ToString(LoginType)))
                        {
                            ModelState.AddModelError("Error", "Rights to User are not Provide Contact to Admin");
                            return View(login);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            Session["Name"] = login.username;
                            Session["UserID"] = UserID;
                            Session["LoginType"] = LoginType;
    
                            if (Roles.IsUserInRole(login.username, "Admin"))
                            {
                                return RedirectToAction("AdminDashboard", "Dashboard");
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                return RedirectToAction("UserDashboard", "Dashboard");
                            }
    
                        }
    
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        ModelState.AddModelError("Error", "Please enter valid Username and Password");
                        return View(login);
                    }
    
    
    
                }
                else
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("Error", "Please enter Username and Password");
                    return View(login);
                }
    
            }
    
    Model:

I don't understand the question, but if the problem is that you need different submit buttons to do different things then ensure each submit has a unique "name" and a "value" and have the names part of your model binding (in the model or as params to the action they are posted to) and the name that is not empty is the button that was clicked.

If you google for "c# mvc multiple submit buttons" you'll find some cleverer solutions to this such as custom attributes etc.

I have created a unique name and value for that handler, still not getting it right. What could be an issue? I think my controller does not work well. Each time click create, the validation it gets are from login actionResult method.

Solution 1

There is no <form> in your code.
Wrap your form in <form></form> tags and set the action and method attributes.

No Mate there is, i checked both createUser.cshtml and login.cshtml.

jimmson 24-Jan-20 6:17am

Then you haven't included it in your code you sent.

gcogco10 24-Jan-20 7:52am

@jimmson, i did call it on my controller=>model=>view [HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Create(CreateModel submit)
{
ViewBag.Msg = "Details submitted successfully";

return View(submit);
}

jimmson 24-Jan-20 7:57am

This is not what I'm talking about. Show us the code INCLUDING your form tags. There's no form in the code and by the type of questions I usually see from you here on CodeProject, I'm in real doubt you actually have any form. I'm just trying to help..

<

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()

@Html.ValidationSummary()

@Html.TextBoxFor(model=>model.username, new {@class ="form-control text-center", automplete="off" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model=>model.username)

@Html.PasswordFor(model=>model.password, new {@class = "form-control text-center", autocomplete="off" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model=>model.password)

}

jimmson 24-Jan-20 8:05am

That's better!
So, you should specify action and method in your Html.BeginForm(), as I wrote in my answer. Get those things right, and you may have an answer (however I'm not saying there isn't any other error).
Here you find how to do it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.web.mvc.html.formextensions.beginform?view=aspnet-mvc-5.2
