Query Regarding Redirecting View after Insert

[Ambrish]

Hi All,

I am using the telerik mvc grid to save the data with inform editing.
I have a situation like i want the user to redirect to login page after inserting some data.

In my case i am able to call the Action Method in Controller but the View is not rendered.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Atanas Korchev,

Thanks for the reply. Below is the information that you asked

The Grid Declaration is

 <%=Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
.Name("Grid")
.DataKeys(keys => keys.Add(o => o.Id).RouteKey("Id"))
    .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax()
                .Select("Select", "Home")
                .Update("Update", "Home")
                .Delete("Delete", "Home")
                .Insert("Insert", "Home")
    .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(c => c.FirstName);
            columns.Bound(c => c.LastName);
            columns.Bound(c => c.UserName);
            columns.Bound(c => c.Password);
            columns.Bound(c => c.Telephone);            
            columns.Command(commands =>
                {
                    commands.Edit().ButtonType(GridButtonType.Image).HtmlAttributes(new {Style = "float : top"});
                    commands.Delete().ButtonType(GridButtonType.Image);                   
                }
            );
        })
        .Editable(editing =>editing.Mode(GridEditMode.InForm))
        .ToolBar(commands => commands.Insert().ButtonType(GridButtonType.Image))     
        .Pageable()
%>

In insert action method i am writing code like below
  public ActionResult Insert(Model model)
        {           
                SaveDetails(model);
                return RedirectToAction("LogOff", "Security", new {area = "Public", logonType = LogonType.Guest.ToString()});
         }

Let me know if you need any more help.

Hi Ambrish,

As you may know request cannot be redirected during ajax request. Therefore, in order to achieve this you should redirect to the destination page after the request has been received by the browser.
This in your scenario can be accomplished by using Error event of the grid and sending a special value from the server. For example:

<%=Html.Telerik().Grid(Model).Name("Grid")
       .ClientEvents(events => events.OnError("error"))
       //....
%>

public ActionResult Insert(Model model)
{
    SaveDetails(model);
    return Content("redirect=" + Url.Action("LogOff", "Security", new {area = "Public", logonType = LogonType.Guest.ToString()}));
}

<script type="text/javascript">
    function error(e) {
        var text = e.XMLHttpRequest.responseText,
            name = "redirect=",
            start = text.indexOf(name);

        if (start > -1) {
            location.href = text.substring(start + name.length);
            e.preventDefault();
        }
    }
</script>

Hi Rosen,

I had done the changes as suggested by you
but i an getting javascript error as mentioned below at the time of load of telerik grid.

"Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'error' is undefined"

[Ambrish]

My action method is like

 public ActionResult Insert(Model model)
        {           
                if(!LogonType.Guest)
                {
                    SaveDetails(model);
                    return(new GridModel(GetData());
                 }
                else
                {
                    SaveDetails(model);
                    return RedirectToAction("LogOff", "Security", new {area = "Public", logonType = LogonType.Guest.ToString()});
                }
         }

Hello Ambrish,

Could you please verify that you have attached the error event correctly and a function with such name exists.

Hi All,

The issue has been resolved.
I need to change the handler name to something else instead of name.

I don't know why it is so. but thanks for all your help
