Recently I started working with MVC, before that I used “classic” ASP.NET.

After using Ruby on Rails (RoR), I wonder how to implement POST request handling in MVC similar to how RoR operates. In RoR you use the Post method, so you need only one function for a view.

In ASP.NET MVC I need to use 2 separate functions for GET and for POST, so I need to initialize the same data twice, and I don’t like to repeat something in my code.

How can I check if the request is POST in one method?

Update:

Solution is found: I have to use Request.HttpMethod.

Thank you!

    You only need separate methods for GET and POST if their method signatures differ, there’s no reason why one action method can’t handle GET and POST methods.

    If you need to know whether it was a GET or POST, you could check using Request.HttpMethod in your action, but I would advise using a separate method decorated with the [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] attribute as suggested by the other posters.
