I want to pass a class object from one controller action to different controller's action.
Sender Action
public class CourseController : Controller
{
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CreateNewCourse(CourseViewModelBase courseViewModel)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// Do some stuff
return RedirectToAction("CreateNewProject", "Project",
new { courseVM = courseViewModel});
}
// Bad happened
return View("CreateNewCourse", courseViewModel);
}
Receiver Action
public class ProjectController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult CreateNewProject(CourseViewModelBase courseVM)
{
// Use CourseVM data and do other stuff
return View("Create", projectCreateViewModel);
}
}
I am getting data properly in Sender Action and Receiver Action is called properly from the redirect to action call. However courseVM in Receiver Action is null.
I know this is a very old question and had been asked repetitively. But I found that most of the answers suggested to use TempData and were answered in 2008/2009. I believe there would be someway to pass data using RedirectToAction without using TempData. If there is not then I would go with TempData only.
Finding
If I pass some simple data e.g. new {id = courseViewModel.CourseDuration} and change the argument in Receiver action to id then id is properly received.
