Question

ok. simple one that is wrapping my brain

I have a method that I have in the controller

public ActionResult Details(string strFirstName, string strLastName)
{
      return View(repository.getListByFirstNameSurname(strFirstName, strLastName)
}

How do i get multiple parameters from the URL to the controller?

I dont want to use the QueryString as it seems to be non-mvc mind set.

Is there a Route? Or Other mechanism to make this work? Or am I missing something altogehter here with MVC

EDIT

the url that I am trying for is

http://site.com/search/details/FirstName and Surname

so if this was classic asp

http://site.com/search/details?FirstName+Surname

But i feel that i have missed understood something which in my haste to get to working code, I have missed the point that there really should be in a put request – and I should collect this from the formcollection.

Though might be worth while seeing if this can be done – for future reference =>

Answer 1

Use hidden values in your form

<%= Html.Hidden("strFirstName", Model.FirstName)%>
<%= Html.Hidden("strLastName", Model.LastName)%>

and the model binder will do the binding

public ActionResult Details(string strFirstName, string strLastName)
{
      return View(repository.getListByFirstNameSurname(strFirstName, strLastName)
}
