How to obtain data from a form using method=“post”? How to request it data in my controller?

Question

I am trying to obtain data from my html code like the \"acquringCode\", \"cardAcceptor\", and \"merchantId\". I can\'t figure how how to obtain that data in my controller.

Answer 1

Create a viewModel like this one:

public class TreventLocationLookupViewModel
{
    public string InstitutionIdentificationCode {get; set;}
    public string CardAcceptorIdentificationCode {get; set;}
    public string MerchantId {get; set;}
}

and then use it in your Action like that:

public ActionResult AddSaveTreventLocationLookup(TreventLocationLookupViewModel model)
{

        AdminProductionServices.TreventLocationLookup treventLocationLookup = Administrator.Models.AdminProduction.TreventLocationLookup.loadTreventLocationLookup(Guid.Empty, Guid.Empty, string.Empty, string.Empty, string.Empty)[0];

        treventLocationLookup.acquiringInstitutionIdentifcationCode = model.InstitutionIdentificationCode;
        treventLocationLookup.cardAcceptorIdentificationCode = model.CardAcceptorIdentificationCode;
        treventLocationLookup.merchantId = model.MerchantId;

        Administrator.Models.AdminProduction.TreventLocationLookup.addTreventLocationLookup(treventLocationLookup);

    return RedirectToAction("SearchTreventLocationLookup", "Prod");
}

MVC will take care of the binding the request values to the model for you. You should have a read about model binders and validation anyway to get an idea.
