I need generate this url: http://localhost:3178/Reports/?GroupId=1211&GroupId=1237
I'm trying:
var routeData = new RouteValueDictionary();
routeData.Add("GroupId", "1, 2");
getting: GroupId=1,%202
or
routeData.Add("GroupId", "1");
routeData.Add("GroupId", "2");
getting: An item with the same key has already been added
and even
routeData.Add("GroupId[0]", "1");
routeData.Add("GroupId[1]", "2");
getting: ?GroupId%5B0%5D=1&GroupId%5B1%5D=2
it's possible to somehow fix my issue?
The RouteValueDictionary is meant to provide information to routes. As such, I don't think it has the capability you're asking for. I've been using a custom helper to populate query string data based on what I pass into it:
public static string BuildPath(RequestContext context, string routeName, RouteValueDictionary routeValues, object additionalParams)
{
var vpd = RouteTable.Routes[routeName].GetVirtualPath(context, routeValues);
if (vpd == null)
return string.Empty;
var virtualpath = vpd.VirtualPath;
var addparams = BuildAdditionalParams(additionalParams);
if (!virtualpath.Contains("?") && addparams.Length > 0)
virtualpath = virtualpath + "?" + addparams;
else if (virtualpath.Contains("?") && addparams.Length > 0)
virtualpath = virtualpath + "&" + addparams;
return "/" + virtualpath;
}
protected static string BuildAdditionalParams(object additionalParams)
{
if (additionalParams == null)
return string.Empty;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
Type type = additionalParams.GetType();
PropertyInfo[] props = type.GetProperties();
Action<string, string> addProperty = (name, value) =>
{
if (sb.Length > 0)
sb.Append("&");
sb.Append(name);
sb.Append("=");
sb.Append(value);
};
foreach (PropertyInfo prop in props)
{
var simplevalue = prop.GetValue(additionalParams, null);
if (simplevalue != null)
{
Type propertyType = prop.PropertyType;
if (Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(propertyType) != null)
{
propertyType = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(propertyType);
}
if (propertyType.IsEnum)
{
addProperty(prop.Name, ((int)simplevalue).ToString());
}
else if (propertyType.IsArray && propertyType != typeof(string))
{
foreach (var val in prop.GetValue(additionalParams, null) as IEnumerable)
addProperty(prop.Name, val.ToString());
}
else
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(simplevalue.ToString()))
addProperty(prop.Name, simplevalue.ToString());
}
}
}
return sb.ToString();
}
This function will build a full path to your route and append the values in the additionalParams object as query string data. This can handle arrays, enums, nullable values, and other types that by executing their ToString method.
Hope this helps!
