Question

I am stuckup with little problem

I have the form contains 3 hidden controls, I am sending values through jquery. Upto this its working fine while I keep alert.

I am using FormCollection and try to retrieve those hidden values in .cs file but I am unable to retireve those values. When I keep break point on FormCollections its showing all the hidden control names including key numbers.

View:

<tr>
    <td colspan ="2">
        @Html.Hidden("hdnddlid")
        @Html.Hidden("hdnrblMale")
        @Html.Hidden("hdnrblFeMale")
    </td>
</tr>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("input[name='Gender']").change(function () {
            if ($("input[name='Gender']:checked").val() == '1') {
                hdnrblMale = "Male";
            }
            else if ($("input[name='Gender']:checked").val() == '0') {
                hdnrblFeMale = "FeMale";
            }
        });
    });
</script>

Code in .cs file

public static void InsertPersonalDetails(PersonalDetails modelPersonal, FormCollection frmHdnValues)
{
    try
    {
        PersonalDbContext db = new PersonalDbContext();

        string Male = frmHdnValues["hdnrblMale"].ToString();
        string Female = frmHdnValues["hdnrblFeMale"].ToString();

        db.Entry(modelPersonal).State = EntityState.Added;
        //pDetails.Add(Objpd);
        db.SaveChanges();
        // return pDetails;
    }

Thanks

Am I missing something or doesn’t your jQuery need to be:

$("input[name='hdnrblMale']").val("Male");

instead of

hdnrblMale = "Male";

also make sure that the fields are within a form being submitted.

I use a combination of

• Visual Studio: break points, step through code, immediate window
• Chrome: break points in JS, JS immediate window, inspect element
• fiddler2: see that is actually being sent to and from the server (note may beet to use localhost. instead of localhost for traffic to
  show up in fiddler – e.g. localhost.:69230 instead of
  localhost:69230)

to debug this type of thing.. that way you should have visibility of all parts of the chain.
