JQuery Method for Calling Controller, Action in MVC

This blog describe JQuery Method for Calling Controller, Action in MVC.

There are many approaches for calling controller, action from JQuery, but this one is pretty simple.

 

So jumping right to the point. 

function PageRedirect(event) {
    var act = event.data.act
    var cnt = event.data.cnt;
    var formName = $('form').attr('id');
    var form = $('#' + formName);
    form.attr("action", '/' + cnt + '/' + act);
    form.submit();
}

This javscript method can be put in master page.

 

It can be called from cshtml with the following code. 

<script type="text/javascript">
    $('#btnSearch').click({ act: "Search", cnt: "Students" }, PageRedirect);
</script>

For those wondering, how is this possible, check this link
