[Solved] Date always null on action

[Ju]

Hello,
i'm trying to use the calendar. I'm trying to do quite the same example as the one in demos.
But for any reason the parameter date in my action is always null

Here is my code :

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

<h2>Mon Calendrier</h2>
@(Html.Telerik().Calendar()
   .Name("Calendar")
   .Selection(settings => settings
         .Action("SelectAction", new { date="{0}"})
      .Dates(
         new List<DateTime> {
            DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1),
            DateTime.Today.AddDays(2),
            DateTime.Today.AddDays(3),
         }
      )
   )
)

@if (ViewData["date"] != null) {     <p>This date was clicked: @ViewData["date"]</p>    }

and my controller

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace GestFormat.Controllers
{
   public class CalendarController : Controller
   {
      //
      // GET: /Calendar/

      public ActionResult Index(DateTime? date)
      {
         ViewData["selectedDate"] = ViewData["date"] == null ? DateTime.Now : ViewData["date"];
         ViewData["minDate"] = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7);
         ViewData["maxDate"] = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(14);
         return View();
      }

      public ActionResult SelectAction(DateTime? date)
      {
         ViewData["date"] = date;
         return RedirectToAction("Index");
      }

      public ActionResult ReturnContent(string sMsg)
      {
         return Content(Server.HtmlEncode(sMsg));
      }
   }
}

Do you have any idea ?
Thanks

Hello Ju,

 
You are using ViewData is persisted only in the scope of the Action method. After RedirectToAction ViewData["date"] is truncated. I will suggest you use TempData.

Controller:

public ActionResult SelectAction(DateTime? date)
{
    TempData["date"] = date;
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

View:

@if (TempData["date"] != null)
{     <p>This date was clicked: @TempData["date"]</p>    }

Hello thanks for your answer.
I've understood what you mean. Anyway it doesn't solve my problem.
In fact, it's the parameter in the action SelectionDate that is always null . It looks like the view don't know how to send the parameter or anything like that.

Do you have any idea ?
