Question

A web browser is calling my action with the following URL;

Request URL:http://localhost:4000/MyController/UrlCheck?Menu.Url=sometext

My action is as follows;

public JsonResult UrlCheck(string Url)
{
    return Json("Url is " + Url , JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

But the Url parameter never gets bound, I’ve tried the following to no avail;

public JsonResult UrlCheck([Bind(Prefix="Menu")] string Url)

The URL is generated by MVC itself as part of an Ajax post and is tied to a property of a complex object, hence the ‘Menu.Url’ bit. It won’t be easy to change the name of the URL parameter.

Have also tried Menu_Url as a parmeter name. The action is executed so the routing should be working fine.

Answer 1

I haven’t come across binding get parameters like that, but I would try binding to a simple viewmodel that is named Menu and has a property called Url.

E.g.

Your Viewmodel

public class SimpleViewModel
{
    public string Url { get; set; }
}

Your Action

public JsonResult UrlCheck(SimpleViewModel Menu)
{
    return Json("Url is " + Menu.Url, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
