Request url is not found

Question

I do this:

http://localhost:53072/Employee/Delete/2

Thats my action:

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Delete(int id)
             


        

Answer 1

Assuming you are accessing the url via a browser it will make a GET request and your action is a POST.

You could either change your request using a tool like fiddler or change your method to this instead:

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Delete(int id)
    {
        _provider.Delete(id);
        return View();
    }

You could also omit the [HttpGet] as it is the default.

Update

In order to make this a post instead of using an ActionLink you could do the following:

Add this to your view, wrapping it in a begin form

@using(Html.BeginForm("Delete", "Controller", FormMethod.Post))
{
    @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Id)
    <input type="submit" value="delete" />
}

Leave your action as follows:

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Delete(int id)
    {
        _provider.Delete(id);
        return View();
    }
