Old post... :)

But StructureMap can easily handle such lists!

=== MY SOLUTION ==

== JavaScript (jQuery): ==

$('form input[data-action]').click(function () { this.form.action = $(this).data('action'); });

And that's it.

Do you have any other inputs named login or register in your form?
(one example might be user name textbox called "login")

There are two drawbacks to this implementation: 1) when the form is posted, the URL changes; and 2) the executing action must explicitly specify the view name. I have written a blog post demonstrating how to avoid these issues:

Strange, I'll try this a bit later.
I tried my method with parameters before and it worked.

However, does it fail if id is not specified in the route?

After working with another developer on my team we solved our issue. For us, instead of using BeginForm("Action","Post") we needed to specify our actual controller: BeginForm("Action","ActualControllerNameHere") and this worked.

Would anyone be willing to share some code related to how they're registering routes in their Global.asax.cs? I've been attempting to utilize the code in this post (beautifully written, btw) however I'm struggling to get it working correctly. When I run the given code I receive an error because it attempts to find the controller "Post" and the action "Action". So based on my MapRoute it's trying to go to Post.aspx/Action which does not exist.

I also tried removing BeginForm("Action","Post") and instead stuck with simply BeginForm(). This almost appears to work, it enters the overridden IsValidName method but the actionName does not match my button, instead it matches my page.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. I believe we're using MVC v2.0.50727

Thank you,
Jared

Simple Injector is missing from the comparison. There's a answer on Stackoverflow that uses this article's feature list, to compare Simple Injector: http://stackoverflow.com/a/819...

For anyone curious, I had a similar issue and the problem was in my Action. I was using return View(model), so the server was looking for an "Action" view which really does not exist. The simple fix is to specifiy the view in the return: return View("Edit", model).

Thanks for this solution. It has helped make a very nice Edit/Preview feature work efficently and cleanly.

Hello Andrey,

If i left the Html.BeginForm() as default then irrespective of which button i click the actionName parameter is always the same, Ex: "delete", so my collection of buttons only behavior in the same way. If i left the Html.BeginForm("Action", "Post") as you used in this article then the IsValidName will always return false and no method at all will be executed. Am I missing on anything here?

Regards,
Ambrish

Hey Andrey,

This solution is just excellent, very clean , much better then the proposed solution from David Findley

I added some commenting and swapped the hard coded "Action" for a default, check it out:
http://pastebin.com/PhnKDekw

I will be using this whenever i use multiple buttons, in other situations i usually just use jQuery Postback.

Hi,

I can't really get it to work with JQuery, seems to be conflicting in some area. Any ideas?

Andrey Shchekin — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 18:44:21 -0000

It depends on a mindset — if you are looking for a solution, yes, there are several ways to do this.
However I wanted to solve it in the way MVC framework has intended for controllers to be used — abstracted from the lowest details of HTTP (see Model Binders etc).

sarah perrie — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 13:47:13 -0000

this seems like a very complicated solution to a very simple issue. All you have to do is give each button a unique name, set the names as optional string parameters with default empty string values, then check if the parameters have a value.

Great article. But a bit dated. A update will do a lot of good.
