Question

How should I initiate a delete action from my view?

Creating a new form-tag for each entity just doesn’t seem right 🙂

<% foreach (var subscriber in group.Subscribers) { %>         <tr>             <td><%= subscriber.Email %></td>             <td><%= Html.ActionLink('[edit]', 'edit', 'subscriber', new {id=subscriber.SubscriberId}, null) %></td>             <td>                 <form id='delete-subscriber-form' method='post' action='<%= Url.Action( 'delete', 'subscriber', new { @subscriberId = subscriber.SubscriberId }) %>'>                     <input type='submit' value='Delete' />                 </form>             </td>         </tr>         <% } %> 

How would you do it?

Answer 1

I normally use checkboxes on the side of the items. Then I can have action links (buttons, whatever) that apply an action to the selected items (such as delete).
