I’ve noticed that your example uses this. What about passing parameters to another controller class? Is that possible?

This is just what I was looking for. So nice to be able to pass models between controller instead of having to use TempData. Thanks!

Very nice article, really like the “One Model In, One Model Out” idea.

What about buttons? Do you prefer a parameter like “string cancelButton” on your Save method or would you add CancelButton as a property on your SaveUpdateModel (which I assume MVC would also bind to)?

Hi,
TempData is stored in session right? Won’t this give problems in a load balanced environment (if session state is in-proc)?

Thanks,
Steven

Hi Jon,

This was exactly what i was looking for, but alas, my model parameter which im trying to pass over to the Action is not being passed during my redirect. Am i doing something wrong or missing something?

i’ve added the decoration [PassParametersDuringRedirect], and the code looks like:

if(!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return this.RedirectToAction(c => c.Index(model));
}

The Action index looks like :

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public ActionResult Index(RegisterModel model)

Any help would be great.

ps. Curretly Using MVC2 and MVCContrib 2.0.61

Thanks Nick

OH! Light bulb moment! Calling View(”otherView”, model) causes the current action to dump data into that view but not invoke the method - this seems obvious but I had missed it for some reason. I think that clears up a lot, Thanks!

@Adam,

A lot of times the action that you’re redirecting to has a bunch of logic in it. So you could just return View() if you want, because in your case you don’t have any logic in the action method that you would be redirecting to if you did the redirect.

To reply to my own post - It looks like this also supports intra-controller redirects. My question then changes slightly - Why would I use a redirect rather than just returning View(”otherView”, model); ?
