For your first question :
You should use return View("Index"); to replace return RedirectToAction("Index");

When you use the redirecttoaction , it means everythings is new for the page!!

For your second question:
If you want to alert a messagebox when all the job is ok , you can return a ContenResult to complete the job ,such as
return Content("");
Here are the code after I edit:

ConfigurationSettings class:
    public class ConfigurationSettings
    {
        [Key]
        [ScaffoldColumn(false)]
        public int RecordID { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "API_KEY is required")]
        public string API_KEY { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "API_SECRET address is required")]
        public string API_SECRET { get; set; }


        [Display(Name = "To_Number")]
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "To_Number is required")]
        public int To_Number { get; set; }


        [DataType(DataType.PhoneNumber)]
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "TextMessage is required")]
        public string TextMessage { get; set; }
    }
SendSMS action:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SendSMS(ConfigurationSettings sm)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        // TheTextingDemo.Models.ConfigurationSettings s1 = new Models.ConfigurationSettings();
        string API_KeY = sm.API_KEY;
        string API_KEY = "wwpiub1gcfk49a1";
        string API_SECRET = "j5hsuac8f6mdzdd";
        string TO = "923215029981";
        string Message = "Hello world";
        string sURL;
        StreamReader objReader;
        //string ssurl="https://www.thetexting.com/rest/sms/json/message/send?api_key=wwpiub1gcfk49a1&api_secret=j5hsuac8f6mdzdd&to=923215029981&text=Hello"
        sURL = "https://www.thetexting.com/rest/sms/json/message/send?api_key=" + API_KEY + "&api_secret=" + API_SECRET + "&to=" + TO + "&text=" + Message;
        WebRequest wrGETURL;

        wrGETURL = WebRequest.Create(sURL);
        try
        {
            Stream objStream;
            objStream = wrGETURL.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
            objReader = new StreamReader(objStream);
            objReader.Close();

            return Content("");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            ex.ToString();
        }
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }
    else
    {
        ModelState.AddModelError("", "Error in saving data");
        return View("Index");
    }
}
View Code:
@model WebSite.Controllers.ConfigurationSettings
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

try
{
Stream objStream;
objStream = wrGETURL.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
if(objStream.Length>0)
{
ViewData["Response"] = 1;
}
else
{
ViewData["Response"] = 0;
}
objReader = new StreamReader(objStream);
objReader.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Error in saving data");
ex.ToString();
}
// return View(sm);
return RedirectToAction("Index");

@mark

You code looks good ! Use this when use submit you form !!
<input id="Submit" type="submit" value="SendSMS" />
When you enter the break point , the parameter sm is already has values!!

Here is the form of your view :
@using (Html.BeginForm("SendSMS", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
    <div>
        <fieldset>
            <legend>Account Informationlegend>
            <div>
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.API_KEY)
            div>
            <div>

                @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.API_KEY)
            div>
            <div>
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.API_SECRET)
            div>
            <div>
                @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.API_SECRET)
            div>
            <div>

                @Html.LabelFor(a => a.To_Number)
            div>
            <div>
                @Html.TextBoxFor(a => a.To_Number)
            div>
            <div>
                @Html.LabelFor(a => a.TextMessage)


            div>
            <div>

                @Html.TextBoxFor(a => a.TextMessage)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(a => a.TextMessage)
            div>

            <br />

            <input id="Submit" type="submit" value="SendSMS" />
       fieldset>
    div>
}
I hope this can help you !

Just follow this :

the controller code
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult TestPost(string value)
{
    string res = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value) ? "empty" : value;
    return Content(res);
}

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult TestGet(string value)
{
    string res = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value) ? "empty" : value;
    return Content(res);
}
the view code
<p>Test Post Request by HttpPostp>
<form method="post" action="/home/testpost">
    <input type="text" name="value" />
    <input type="submit" value="SendMessage" />
form>

<hr />

<p>Test Getp>

<form>
    <input type="text" id="txtGet" />
    <input id="getBtn" type="button" value="SendMessage" />
form>

@section scripts{
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            $("#getBtn").click(function () {
                var par = $("#txtGet").val();
                var url = "/home/testget?value=" + par;

                location.href = url;
            });
        });

    script>
}

Hi mark ,

You send a GET request so that it can't be called your action method!

You can try :

1.Change HttpPost to HttpGet

2. Send a Post request via form submission or ajax
Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan9y ago
Also, you need to send an HTTP POST request to the ASP.NET, because you marked the function as a POST-accepting function.

This would solve i hope so

I want to call a simple method on button click in MVC
