I'm using ASP.NET MVC 2 for
the first time on a project at work and am feeling like a bit of a noob.
I have a page with a customer search control/partial view.
The control is a textbox and a button. You enter a customer id into
the textbox and hit search.
The page then "refreshes" and shows
the customer details on
the same page. In other words,
the customer details appear below
the customer search
control.
This is so that if
the customer isn't
the right one,
the user can search again without hitting back in
the browser. Or, perhaps they mistyped
the customer id and need to try again.
I want
the URL to look like this:
/Customer/Search/1
Obviously, this follows
the default route in
the project.
Now, if I type
the URL above directly into my browser, it works fine. However, when I then use
the search
control on that page to search for say customer 2,
the page refreshes with
the correct customer details but
the URL
does not change! It stays as
/Customer/Search/1
When I want it to be
/Customer/Search/2
How can I get it to change to
the correct URL?
I am only using
the default route in Global.asax.
My Search method looks like this:
<AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)> _
Function Search(ByVal id As String) As ActionResult
Dim customer As Customer = New CustomerRepository().GetById(id)
Return View("SearchResult", customer)
End Function
