Using Ajax.BeginForm with ASP.NET MVC 3 Razor

Question

Is there a tutorial or code example of using Ajax.BeginForm within Asp.net MVC 3 where unobtrusive validation and Ajax exist?

This is an elusive topic f

Answer 1

Ajax forms work asynchronously using Javascript. So it is required, to load the script files for execution. Even though it's a small performance compromise, the execution happens without postback.

We need to understand the difference between the behaviours of both Html and Ajax forms.

Ajax:

1. Won't redirect the form, even you do a RedirectAction().

2. Will perform save, update and any modification operations asynchronously.

Html:

1. Will redirect the form.

2. Will perform operations both Synchronously and Asynchronously (With some extra code and care).

Demonstrated the differences with a POC in below link. Link
