Send POST data in ASP.NET

Question

On page Index i have some form. On submit I use this code in HomeController:

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(EventDetails obj)
    {

        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            return RedirectToAction("Index2","Home");
        }
        else
        {
            return View();
        }

    }

    public ActionResult Index2()
    {

        return View();
    }

So it will redirect me to another page named Index2. How can i get POST data, sent in "Index" page and use it in "Index2" page. And how to show POST data, sent by prev. page in view page?

You could just use pass the post data as routeValues when redirecting... — Daniel Conde Marin, Oct 30 '14 at 23:05

If `EventDetails` contains only primitive properties the you can use `return RedirectToAction("Index2", obj);` and change `public ActionResult Index2(EventDetails obj) {..` (note wont work if any properties are complex objects or collections). Alternatively you can add `obj` to session and retrieve it in `Index2`. — , Oct 30 '14 at 23:13

Since you're making a GET request after the POST, you cannot send the body from the POST along with it. The easiest fix is to use TempData, to temporarily store the data across requests:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(EventDetails obj)
{

    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        TempData["eventDetails"] = obj;
        return RedirectToAction("Index2","Home");
    }
    else
    {
        return View();
    }

}

public ActionResult Index2()
{
    var obj = TempData["eventDetails"] as EventDetails;
    return View(obj);
}
