How to call one Action method from another Action method(both are in the same Controller) in MVC C#?

Question

Hi From the calling Action Method, I have:

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SubmitForms(Note note, string action = "Submit") 
{
     //some code
     RedirectToAction("SaveDemographicForm", "PatientForms", new { model.DemographicFormData,  action="Submit" , submitAll = true });
     //some code
}

And this the Action Method that I am trying to call:

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SaveDemographicForm(DemographicForm demographicForm, string action = "Save", bool submitAll = false )
{
      //Some code
}

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If they are both in the same controller you don't need to redirect to action, just call it directly.

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SubmitForms(Note note, string action = "Submit") 
{
     //some code
     return SaveDemographicForm(new DemographicForm { /*your properties*/ }, "Save", false);
}

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SaveDemographicForm(DemographicForm demographicForm, string action = "Save", bool submitAll = false )
{
      //return some json object
}

Answer 2

Just call with no return

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SubmitForms(Note note, string action = "Submit") 
{
     SaveDemographicForm(new DemographicForm { /*your properties*/ }, "Save", false);

     //somecode
     //submitforms return
}

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SaveDemographicForm(DemographicForm demographicForm, string action = "Save", bool submitAll = false )
{
      //return some json object
}
