MVC-将“ $ .post”后的视图重定向到控制器

Question

On the click of a button:

$("#newSave").click(function () {
    AddNewAccount();
});

I am making a function call to:

function AddNewAccount() {
    $.post("/RxCard/AddAccount",
        {
            NewAccountName: $("#newAccountName").val(),
            NewAccountAddress: $("#newAccountAddress").val(),
            NewAccountCity: $("#newAccountCity").val(),
            NewAccountState: $("#newAccountState").val(),
            NewAccountZip: $("#newAccountZip").val(),
            NewAccountArea: $("#newArea").val(),
            NewAccountPrefix: $("#newPrefix").val(),
            NewAccountSuffix:$("#newSuffix").val()

        }, function (errorMsg) {
            if (errorMsg.length > 0) {
                $('div#divSearchList').empty();
                $('div#divSearchList').html(errorMsg);
            }
            else {
                loadAccount(accountId, false);
            }
    });
    $("body").css("cursor", "default").delay(1000);
}

from there the data is passed into the controller action:

public ActionResult AddAccount(string NewAccountName, string NewAccountAddress, string NewAccountCity, string NewAccountState, string NewAccountZip, string NewAccountArea, string NewAccountPrefix, string NewAccountSuffix)
{
     DuplicatesPage model = GetDups(NewAccountName, NewAccountAddress, NewAccountCity, NewAccountState, NewAccountZip, NewAccountArea, NewAccountPrefix, NewAccountSuffix);
     return RedirectToAction("DuplicatePage", model);
}

in order to generate the model (for the view i am attempting to display) from:

private DuplicatesPage GetDups(string NewAccountName, string NewAccountAddress, string NewAccountCity, string NewAccountState, string NewAccountZip, string NewAccountArea, string NewAccountPrefix, string NewAccountSuffix)
{

    DuplicatesPage model = new DuplicatesPage();
    duplicates results = new duplicates();
    var phone = NewAccountPrefix.ToString() + NewAccountSuffix.ToString();
    var datenow = DateTime.Now;
    var firstofmonth = new DateTime(datenow.Year, datenow.Month, 1);

    OdbcCommand cmd1 = new OdbcCommand();

    cmd1.CommandText = "{call dbo.Maint_AddClinic(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)}";
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", NewAccountName);
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Address", NewAccountAddress);
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@City", NewAccountCity);
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@State", NewAccountState);
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Zip", NewAccountZip);
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AreaCode", NewAccountArea);
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@PhoneNumber", phone);
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@StartDate", firstofmonth);
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AccountTypeID", 2);
    cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@IgnoreDupAddress", 1);
    DataTable dt = GetData(cmd1);
    foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
    {
        Pharmacy pharmacy = new Pharmacy();
        pharmacy.AccountName = row["AccountName"].ToString();
        pharmacy.Address = row["Address"].ToString();
        pharmacy.City = row["City"].ToString();
        pharmacy.ZipCode = row["ZipCode"].ToString();
        results.Pharmacies.Add(pharmacy);
    }
    results.Count = dt.Rows.Count;
    model.DupResults = results;
    return model;
}

and end at:

public ActionResult DuplicatePage()
{
     return View("Duplicates");
}

The problem is that I am not redirected to the view Duplicates . I just stay on the same page. The problem is probably obvious but I cant seem to locate it. I tried redirecting after making the call to AddNewAccount on the button click but my model for Duplicates is not generated at that time.

Answer 1

The problem is that you are using RedirectToAction with an AJAX call and that will never work because the RedirectToAction will return a redirect response HTTP 302 to your AJAX call, and your AJAX call will not consume this response as you expect, and no redirects will ever happen.

To fix this you need to change your $.post to a full post back, or send the url to redirect to with a response and do the redirect manually on the client side and then for example use: window.location.href = 'new-url-to-go-to';
