Only first parameter value is getting while calling controller method using Url.action.

Question

I am calling a controller method using Url.action like,

location.href = '@Url.Action("Display", "Customer", new { username = "abc",name = "abcdef",country = "India",email = "abc@hmail.com",phone = "9456974545"})';

My controller method is,

public void Display(string username, string name, string country, string email, string phone)
{    }

In this method, I can get only the value of first parameter (username). Its not getting other parameter values that is passed. All other values are null.

Please suggest me, whats wrong?

Can you see the querystring parameters in browsers address bar when ActionLink is clicked? — Karthik Chintala, Feb 14 '13 at 06:13
Yes. I can see the querystring parameters in browsers address bar. The url is like this: http://localhost:60710/Customer/Display?username=abc&name=abcdef&country=India&email=abc%40hmail.com&phone=9456974545 — Kokila, Feb 14 '13 at 06:17

Hmm.. Try like this `@Html.Raw(@Url.Action("Display","Customer", new { username = "abc",name = "abcdef"}))` — Karthik Chintala, Feb 14 '13 at 06:28

By default every content (which is not IHtmlString) emitted using a @ block is automatically HTML encoded by Razor.

So, @Url.Action() is also get encoded and you are getting plain text. And & is encoded as &

If you dont want to Encode then you should use @Html.Raw(@Url.Action("","")).

The answer for you question is :

location.href = '@Html.Raw(@Url.Action("Display", "Customer", new { username = "abc",name = "abcdef",country = "India",email = "abc@hmail.com",phone = "9456974545"}))';

Hope this helps

There is a problem with '&' being encoded to the '& amp;'

model binder doesnt recognise this value. You need to prevent this encoding by rendering link with Html.Raw function.

Use '@Html.Raw(Url.Action......)'
