So I have a url stored in a database and I need to render that URL on the an MVC razor view along with other information.
Currently I am able to get the data back from the mvc crontroller using the follow
The Ajax/json stuff
function ValidateContestant(Contestant_ID)
{
//Get Contestant/Candidate Bio-Info to display on screen storing the ID To the Record
//Contestant_ID = Contestant_ID || 0;
var data = { Contestant_ID: $('#JWS_CANDIDATE_ID').val() };$.ajax
(
{
url: '@Url.Action("ValidateContestant","JWS")',
type: 'POST',
DataType: 'Json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
traditional: true,
data: JSON.stringify(data),
success: function (data)
{$('#CANDIDATE_DETAILS').html(""); //Clear Old Value$('#CANDIDATE_DETAILS').val(data); //Clear Old Value$('#lblCandidate').show();$('#CANDIDATE_DETAILS').show();
}
}
)
}The Mvc Controller actionresult that gets called
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ValidateContestant (int Contestant_ID)
{
string ContestantData = "";
var Results = db.CM_CONTESTANTS_MASTER_DETAIL_TBL.FirstOrDefault(c => c.MC_CONTESTANT_ID == Contestant_ID);
var sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append(Results.MC_CONTESTANT_FIRST_NAME.ToString() + " " + Results.MC_CONTESTANT_LAST_NAME.ToString());
sb.AppendLine();
sb.Append(Results.MC_CONTESTANT_DOB.ToString());
sb.AppendLine();
sb.Append(Results.MC_CONTESTANT_VIDEO_FILE.ToString());
ContestantData = sb.ToString();
return Json(ContestantData);
}Or is there a way to call a second function from the ajax function? In the second function I can get the URL and pass it back to the view by itself but its is all triggered by data input in one field on the MVC view
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetContestantVideoLink(int Contestant_ID)
{
//GET video link and turn it to url in view
//see:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16921481/how-do-i-pass-a-link-through-viewdata-in-mvc-4
var Results = db.CM_CONTESTANTS_MASTER_DETAIL_TBL.FirstOrDefault(c => c.MC_CONTESTANT_ID == Contestant_ID);
string VideoLink = Results.MC_CONTESTANT_VIDEO_FILE.ToString();
ViewData["CVideoLink"] = VideoLink;
return View();
}The goal is to have it so the URL stored in the database is clickable from the mvc view.
