visual studio 2013 MVC 4

In visual studio 2013 MVC 4 I'm getting below mention error when calling action in controller

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I need help to solve this. here my code

public class PasswordGeneratorController : BaseController

{

// GET: /PasswordGenerator/

public ActionResult PasswordGenerator()

{

PasswordGeneratorViewModel viewModel = new PasswordGeneratorViewModel();

ViewBag.Message = "Modify this template to jump-start your ASP.NET MVC application.";

return View(Constant.ViewPasswordGenerator, viewModel);

}

public ActionResult Clear()

{

PasswordGeneratorViewModel VM = new PasswordGeneratorViewModel();

VM.strKeyValue = "";

VM.strPassword = "";

return View(Constant.ViewPasswordGenerator, VM);

}

public ActionResult GeneratePassword()

{

string strpassword = string.Empty;

PasswordGeneratorViewModel VM = new PasswordGeneratorViewModel();

TryUpdateModel(VM);

try

{

if (VM.strKeyValue.ToString().Trim() != "")

{

ModelState.Remove("strPassword");

strpassword = VM.strKeyValue.ToString().Trim() + CurrentUserName.ToString().Trim();

//strpassword = VM.strKeyValue.ToString().Trim() + "reyazmihular";

VM.strPassword = this.Encrypt(strpassword, "");

}

return View(Constant.ViewPasswordGenerator, VM);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

throw ex;

}

private string Encrypt(string password, string salt)

{

//byte[] passwordBytes = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(password);

//byte[] saltBytes = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(salt);

//byte[] cipherBytes = ProtectedData.Protect(passwordBytes, saltBytes, DataProtectionScope.CurrentUser);

//return Convert.ToBase64String(cipherBytes);

string strmsg = string.Empty;

byte[] encode = new byte[password.Length];

encode = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password);

strmsg = Convert.ToBase64String(encode);

return strmsg;

}

private string Decrypt(string password, string salt)

{

password = "NTk2MDY4MjNyZXlhem1paHVsYXI=";

string decryptpwd = string.Empty;

UTF8Encoding encodepwd = new UTF8Encoding();

Decoder Decode = encodepwd.GetDecoder();

byte[] todecode_byte = Convert.FromBase64String(password);

int charCount = Decode.GetCharCount(todecode_byte, 0, todecode_byte.Length);

char[] decoded_char = new char[charCount];

Decode.GetChars(todecode_byte, 0, todecode_byte.Length, decoded_char, 0);

decryptpwd = new String(decoded_char);

return decryptpwd;

}

What is the view engine you are using ? either ASPX or Razor? I guess you want to redirect to some other action mehtods, when you click on the link. Right?

Also, you are using ASPX engine so you should use:

<%: Html.ActionLink("Text","Action","Controller",null,null) %>

the above line will create a link, which redirect to some action.
Hope this helps!

try to change the line:

as below:
<%:Url.Action(Constant.ActionPasswordClear, Constant.ControllerPasswordGenerator)%>'" />

Let me know your results!

This is the URL I'm getting http://localhost:1448/@Url.Action(Constant.ActionPasswordClear,%20Constant.ControllerPasswordGenerator)

Didn't get your point. I asked the URL that is displayed on the Browser's Address bar when you got the above error(404).

I guess, you are trying to run the application from Visual studio itself, by pressing F5 key. In that case, try to run the application when you are in the controller (just open the controller file and click on that page then press F5) so that it will execute correctly.

Hi francis,

This onclick event working on VS 2010 MVC 2 but not working on VS 2013 MVC 4

How you run the application? What is the URL available in the browser's addressbar when you got this error?
