If you have two simple forms, you can use this aproach:
You create two different partial views.
@model CustomerInfoModel
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("CustomerInfo", "Customer", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "Post", OnBegin = "InfoLoading", OnComplete = "InfoCompleted" }, new { id = "info", @class = "form-horizontal" }))
{
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="Name" id="Name" value="@Model.Name" />
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="Email" id="Email" value="@Model.Email" />
<button type="submit" id="save-info" class="btn-medium red">Save</button>
}
and
@model CustomerPasswordChangeModel
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("CustomerPasswordChange", "Customer", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "Post", OnBegin = "InfoLoading", OnComplete = "InfoCompleted" }, new { id = "change", @class = "form-horizontal" }))
{
<input type="password" class="form-control" name="OldPassword" id="OldPassword" value="" />
<input type="password" class="form-control" name="NewPassword" id="NewPassword" value="" />
<button type="submit" id="save-change" class="btn-medium red" autocomplete="off">Save</button>
}
In your parent view,
@Html.Partial("CustomerInfo", Model.CustomerInfo)
and
@Html.Partial("CustomerPasswordChange", Model.CustomerPasswordChange)
In Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CustomerInfo([Bind(Include = "Name,Email")] CustomerInfoModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
return new Json(new { success=true, message="Updated.", errors=null);
// do you logic
return new Json(new { success=false, message="", errors=getHtmlContent(ModelState.Values.SelectMany(v => v.Errors).ToList(), "ModelError"));
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CustomerPasswordChange([Bind(Include = "OldPassword,NewPassword")] CustomerPasswordChangeModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
return new Json(new { success=true, message="Updated.", errors=null);
// do you logic
return new Json(new { success=false, message="", errors=getHtmlContent(ModelState.Values.SelectMany(v => v.Errors).ToList(), "ModelError"));
}
This will do what you want to do.
Note: getHtmlContent method is just generating an error message to be displayed on page. Nothing so special. I may share it if required.
