How do I create a httppost getting same parameters from httpget?

Question

I have a controller to show up a model (User) and want to create a screen just with a button to activate. I don't want fields in the form. I already have the id in the url. How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

Use [ActionName] attribute - this way you can have the URLs seemingly point to the same location but perform different actions depending on the HTTP method:

[ActionName("Index"), HttpGet]
public ActionResult IndexGet(int id) { ... }

[ActionName("Index"), HttpPost]
public ActionResult IndexPost(int id) { ... }

Alternatively you can check the HTTP method in code:

public ActionResult Index(int id)
{
    if (string.Equals(this.HttpContext.Request.HttpMethod, "POST", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
    { ... }
}
