Question

In my _Layout.cshtml I write javascript code, that allow me to display modal dialog on the page with form for user login when I click on link, and that is work. My problem is that I want do something like that:

I click on ActionLink, that run code from controller, i.e:

    public ActionResult Create()
    {
        if (Session["UserID"] != null)
        {
            ViewBag.PlaceID = new SelectList(db.Places, "PlaceID", "Name");
            ViewBag.UserID = new SelectList(db.Users, "UserID", "FullName");
            return View();
        }
        else
        {
            return RedirectToAction("LogIn", "User");
        }
    } 

Anyone have idea, how to change return RedirectToAction("LogIn", "User"); code, for something that show me my modal dialog instead of opening new page for login?

Answer 1

You should handle the click in javascript.

Your click should open the modal window, this could be a partial you return from a controller.. or just do a show hide. have the login sitting on the page already. But if you wanted to you could put a remote URL (which would be a call to your controller) in the source of the modal window.
