Refresh method with object as parameter

[JonathanElsner]

function onEdit(e) {

       var id= $(e).attr("data-assumptionid");

        var window = $("#EditAssumptionWindow").data("kendoWindow");

        var assumption = findById(assumptions,id);

 

       window.refresh({

           data: {

               ID: assumption.ID,

               Term : assumption.Term,

               type : assumption.Type,

               unitID : assumption.UnitID,

               Name : assumption.Name

           }

       });

 

       window.open();

       window.center();

   }

Controller method
public ActionResult EditAssumption(Guid  ID, int Term, string Name, string type, int unitID)
        {
            ViewBag.Mode = "Edit";
            AssumptionDTO dto = new AssumptionDTO()
            {
                ID=ID,
                Name=Name,
                Term=Term,
                Type=type,
                UnitID=unitID
            };
            return PartialView("NewAssumption", dto );
        }

I am using the above to refresh the window when the user clicks an item and it works fine.

Is it possible to pass the object itself instead of each parameter individually? like below.  I need to do this because the assumption object is going to have an array that needs to be passed in as a parameter also.  Thanks,

function onEdit(e) {

       var id= $(e).attr("data-assumptionid");

        var window = $("#EditAssumptionWindow").data("kendoWindow");

        var assumption = findById(assumptions,id);

 

       window.refresh({

           data: {

               assumptionDTO: assumption

           }

       });

 

       window.open();

       window.center();

   }

Controller method
public ActionResult EditAssumption(AssumptionDTO dto)
        {
            ViewBag.Mode = "Edit";
            return PartialView("NewAssumption", dto );
        }

Hello Jonathan,

Instead of calling the refresh method with

   data: {

     assumptionDTO: assumption

   }

call it with

    data: assumption

That works except assumption has an array as one of the properties that is not serialized correct.

I need assumption.RentSteps to pass in also.  It passes in but all the properties are null.

Any suggestions?

I figured it out by using

window.refresh({
            data: JSON.stringify(assumption),
            type: "Post",
            contentType: "application/json"
        });

Is this the correct way? 

Thanks again.

Hello Jonathan,

Yes, this is a valid approach, especially if it posts the data correctly in your case.
