Hi,

I want to pass a date in mm/dd/yyyy format to an action method in ASP.Net MVC. the url should be

http://localhost/SearchInvoices/dd/mm/yyyy

First, is it possible to make a route which can handle this? i.e. is it possible to pass date in the url as mentioned above ?

If yes, then how we can acheive this.

Secondly, is there any other way to acheive this ?

Hi Ibrahim,

The solution proposed is not working.
PFB the code:

In Index View:
Search Invoices
In Controller:

public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}

public IActionResult SearchInvoices(System.DateTime? id)
{
return new JsonResult(string.Format("Date entered is : {0}", id));
}
public IActionResult SearchInvoice(string id)
{
return new JsonResult(string.Format("String entered is : {0}", id));
}

One in red is not working(datetime parameter) whereas the one in blue is working(string parameter).

hi pratik,

first i will like to know, is it on button click event ?
if yes you can use anchor tag which href"/SearchInvoices/dd/mm/yyyy" or you can also use
Url.Action("SearchInvoices", new { id = date});
as catch as
public ActionResult SearchInvoices(DateTime? id) { return View(); }
