Greetings sir,

How can I pass the value of the CategoryId to asp-route-id using the anchor Tag <a>

HomeController

ViewBag.Categories = db.Categories.ToList();

Index View

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.CategoryId, new SelectList(ViewBag.Categories, "CategoryId", "CategoryName"), "Select a Category")

To able to use it in another view.

The User will select a particular exam from the Drop down menu which is fetched from the database like this

Public IactionResult index(){
   ViewBag.Test = Context.Test.Where(c=>c.IsActive == true).Select(x => new {x.id , x.Name}).Tolist();
   Test test = new Test()
   Return View(test);
}

This will Populate the Select Exam drop-down List in my Index with C# and Java from my database

@model Test
@Html.Label("Select Exam")
@Html.Dropdownlistfor(m=>m.TestId, new SelectList (ViewBag.Test, "Id", "Name"), "Select Exam")
<a asp-action = "ExamInstruction" asp-route-id ="@Model.Id">Next </a>

I want to use the Id of the the selected Exam to fetch the other exam details into the ExamInstruction View like Time allowed, Total Question.

This is where am struck what am trying with where statement is not working, The querystring returns 0 like this

Home/ExamInstruction/0

Public IactionResult ExamInstruction (Test test){
    var Result = Context.Test.Where(e=>e.Id == test.Id).ToList();
    ViewBag.TestName = test.Name
    ViewBag.TestDuration = test.Duration
}

At this stage, All the viewbag returns null in the ExamInstruction View

Hi Destinykid,

Why are you using asp-route-id. You can simply use form post to pass the value.

Refer below example.

Database

For this example I have used of Northwind database that you can download using the link given below.

Download Northwind Database

Model

public class Customer
{
    [DisplayName("Id")]
    public string CustomerID { get; set; }
    [DisplayName("Name")]
    public string ContactName { get; set; }
    [DisplayName("City")]
    public string City { get; set; }
    [DisplayName("Country")]
    public string Country { get; set; }
}

Controller

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private DBCtx Context { get; }
    public HomeController(DBCtx _context)
    {
        this.Context = _context;
    }

    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        ViewBag.Test = this.Context.Customers.Take(5).Select(x => new { x.CustomerID, x.ContactName });
        return View(new Customer());
    }

    public IActionResult Details(string customerID)
    {
        Customer customer = this.Context.Customers.Where(x => x.CustomerID == customerID).FirstOrDefault();
        return View(customer);
    }
}

View

Index

@addTagHelper*, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
@using ViewBag_Model_Core_MVC.Models;
@model Customer

@{
    Layout = null;
}

            $('#ddlNames').on('change', function () {
                $('input[name=customerID]').val($(this).val());
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.CustomerID, new SelectList(ViewBag.Test, "CustomerID", "ContactName"), "Select Name", new { id = "ddlNames" })
