Transferring an object from a controller to another controller

Question

Here is the problem

I have one controller:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult Detail(SomeObjectX a)
    {
        SomeObjectY b = new SomeObjectY();

 b.merge(a); //i already have merge method.

        return RedirectToAction("SomeAction", "SomeController", new { c = b });
    }

you can pass object b to other actions on another controller, in this case, SomeAction on SomeController. thank you for your help:)

Answer 1

In your first detail action,

TempData["some-key-here"] = b;

In the action you want to get, SomeAction

SomeObjectY b = (SomeObjectY)TempData["some-key-here"];

Edit: You do not need parameters in RedirectToAction in this way.

Answer 2

Here you can pass objects when redirecting without any magic lines: http://jonkruger.com/blog/2009/04/06/aspnet-mvc-pass-parameters-when-redirecting-from-one-action-to-another /
