将数据从一页传递到另一页的方法

Question

I have scenario that I have to pass data from one page to another. Inorder to pass that currently I am using query string as shown below.

function showNextPage(Reference) {
    window.location.href = MasterPageVars.BaseUrl + 'Home/details?Reference=' + Reference;
}

This works fine. But now I want to pass multiple values such as from and to date values to next page. what I think is by passing them using query string is not appropriate.

I can get the data from database if I want. But it will require separate call to database. can someone point out some other methods that I can use here? I knew that I can use hiddenfor, session, and cookie too. What is the best way ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

    @using (Html.BeginForm("Method", "Controller", FormMethod.Get))
        {
         <input type="datetime" name="date" placeholder="Type the date"/>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">
           Submit
        </button>
}

After clicking the button, you'll pass the date you have typed just like this: http://yourhost.domain/Controller/Method?date=yy-mm-dd

But take my advice, better use an $.ajax call, just because it is asynchronous and it won't redirect you to another page.

.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
            url: '/Controller/Method/',
            data: $('input').val(),
            success: function () {
                             }
});
