Question

I am new in asp.net mvc and learning. I have a view which pass a value to my method. This is the code below for passing that value:

  @Html.ActionLink("CPD Details", "Details1", new { id=item.ID, item.LastName})

Below is the method for my Details1. Some of the code has been omitted.

  public ActionResult Details1(int id, string LastName)

   return View()

Below is part of my Details1 view:

@model IEnumerable<onlineCPD.Models.cpd_certificates>

Please not that the value is coming from another model and there are independent i.e no mapping or relationship set. How do I display this passed value in my Details1 view?

Answer 1

If you just want to view those variables in your view you should use ViewBag. Read this webpage for more information about ViewBag – ViewBag in MVC 3

Controller

public ActionResult Details1(int id, string LastName)
{
   ViewBag.Id = id;
   ViewBag.LastName = LastName;

   return View();
}

Your Details1 View

@model IEnumerable<onlineCPD.Models.cpd_certificates>

@{
   ViewBag.Title = "Details";
 }

 <p>
   id = @ViewBag.Id 
   <br/>
   Last Name =  @ViewBag.LastName
</p>
