How would I pass a datetime e.g. 01/01/2011 21:01:34
as a query string?
I am building a theatre booking site and when viewing performances I currently pass the Show and Venue but also need to pass the date (as this is the unique part of the performance)
The ActionResult looks like so:
public ActionResult Details(String name, String venue, String date)
{
return View(_repository.performanceDetails(name, venue, date));
}
But the performanceDate
wont work because it's a datetime data type! What I need to do is REMOVE the time part of the data e.g. 00:00:00
and somehow pass the remaining data as a string that I can use to compare against like so:
public PerformanceDetails performanceDetails(String name, String venue, String date)
{
var PerformanceDetails = (from s in _db.PerformanceDetails
where s.show == name &&
s.venue == venue &&
s.performanceDate == date
select s).First();
return PerformanceDetails;
}
Here is a sample link:
<%= Html.ActionLink("View Details", "Details", "Performances",
new {
name = item.show,
venue = item.venue,
date = item.performanceDate },
new {@class = "button"}) %>
