I want to take textbox value and i will download an excel list according to that value. This is my view:
@using (Html.BeginForm("DownloadAttendeeExcel", "Attendee", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "downloadAttendee", @class = "stdform" }))
{ <div>
@Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.EventID, new { id = "eventID" })
</div>
<div>
@Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.EventName, new { id = "eventName" })
</div>
}
This is my action but i can't set model.eventID according to textbox value and i can't understand why.
public ActionResult DownloadAttendeeExcel(AttendeeListItem model)
{
Reservation res = new Reservation();
res.EventID = model.EventID;
return View();
}
Your button :
<a class="btn" type="button" id="downloadAttendees" ref="@Url.Action("DownloadAttendeeExcel", "Attendee")" style="width: 150px;">
Will perform an HttpGet and will not post your form data.
The simplest way to instruct your form to submit it's content(all the input fields it contains) is to use a html submit button :
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
