Question

Sorry bout the vague question, I’m not sure how to succinctly phrase my problem.

I have a ASPX MVC V3 project.

The walkthrough of a form submission goes

1. CreateCustomer view holds the form and is viewed by the customer
2. Customer submits form
3. Form POST to CreateCustomer and in turn calls the CreateCustomer method with the [HttpPost] tag.
4. The [HttpPost] CreateCustomer() method calls an external CreateCustomer service.
5. The external CreateCustomer service returns an SuccessObject
6. ?????????
7. I show the CreateCustomerResult page which uses the SuccessObject.

I don’t know/understand how to do step 6.

I’m in the controller, in the CreateCustomer method, I have the object I want to show, how do I move from CreateCustomer to CreateCustomerResult?

I tried to use RedirectToAction but it didn’t allow me to pass the object along with it. I also think this is the wrong method to use?

Any thoughts?

Once again sorry if this seems a bit vague, I think I’m confused here.

Regards

Answer 1

you can do like this. Return your results view in HttpPost method

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult CreateCustomer()
    {
       return View();
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult CreateCustomer()
    {
     try{
        // save here
         return view("CreateCustomerResult",SuccessObject)
        }catch(Exception ex) 
        {
        ///
           return view("CreateCustomerResult",SuccessObject)
        }

    }
