I have a View within my MVC 4 application, whereby the user types in a first and last name and hits the search button. Once they do this, an action in my controller is called
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ChangeLineManager(RegisterLineManagerModel model, int? id)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (id == null)
{
// Search for person using model.SearchFName and model.SearchLName
}
else
{
// User has selected manager from returned list of people
}
}
}
Once the user performs a search and if data is returned, I list the data
@foreach (var user in Model.LineManagers)
{
<tr>
<td>@Html.ActionLink(linkText: "Select Manager",
actionName: "ChangeLineManager",
controllerName: "Portfolio",
routeValues: new { id = (int?)user.ApplicantID }, htmlAttributes: null)
</td>
</tr>
}
Ideally, I would like the user to then click the 'Select Manager' link beside their appropriate manager, however, whenever I test this, nothing happens, the ChangeLineManager action within my Controller is not called.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks for your time.
