How to pass an action method anti-fake token with the HttpDelete attribute in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

Is it possible?

The code looks like this ...

[Transaction]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
[HttpDelete]
public ActionResult Delete(int id) { ...}

Answer 1

The following assistant can be added to the form:

<%= Html.HttpMethodOverride(HttpVerbs.Delete) %>

This will include a hidden field that will instruct the framework to trigger the correct action of the controller. Now there are two possibilities:

• Normal html form submit: only POST is supported, therefore it will be used, but due to the hidden field the correct action of the controller will be called.
• AJAX: you can use any desired verb, including DELETE, to serialize the input values ​​of the form and submit them - there is no problem.
