ASP.NET MVC controller not receiving the parameter from view

Question

I am getting null value for the actor(which is an action parameter). I tried all possible ways to call the action method. I don't know if there is any setting in the web.config or what. When I try it in sample MVC application, it worked fine(getting parameters as expected). But the same thing is not working in my current working project. Please help me.

Html:

<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Time Info</th>
        <th>Actor</th>
        <th>Reset</th>
    </tr>
    @{
        List<LockedUser> lockedUsers = ViewBag.LockedUsers;
        foreach (LockedUser lockedUser in lockedUsers)
        {
            <tr>
                <td>@lockedUser.TimeInfo</td>
                <td>@lockedUser.Actor</td>
                <td>@Html.ActionLink("Reset", "Reset", "Admin", new { actor = "John" }, null)</td></tr>
        }
    }
</table>

Action in AdminController:

public ActionResult Reset(string actor)
        {
            if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Get(actor) != null)
            {
                System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Remove(actor);
                Debug.WriteLine("Reset Successfull");
                ViewBag.Message = "Reset Successfull";
            }
            else
            {
                ViewBag.Message = "Unable to reset";
            }
            return View();
        }

RouteConfig:

routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{WCP}",
                defaults: new { controller = "EmailConfirm", action = "Index", WCP = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

Answer 1

Try :

public class RecruitingController : Controller
{
public ActionResult ViewJobs(Guid? id)
{
var ListView = RecruitingLogic.GetListView(id);
return View("ViewJobs", ListView);
}
}

OR

routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index"}
);

Answer 2

@azzedinehtmlsql .ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.AuthorID })

Maybe, try it without 'null' on the line.

Hi @Ramakrishna Allada , > But the same thing is not working in my current working project. Please help me.

I suggest you check your current project like this:

1. You can check whether the parameter name passed on the view is the same as the parameter name received in the action in your current project.
2. If the parameter names are the same, as long as you assign a value to the "actor" on the view, you can get the value of the "actor" in the action.
3. You can also try the following methods to get the value of "actor": var test=System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString.Get("actor");
