Hi Arthur.

Do you get some type of console error in your browser? (Press F12 and check the console when you click submit)

Also I think you should have a HttpPost attribute above your HandleFormPost actionresult. Like so:

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult HandleFormPost(ContactModel model)
        {
            // Your code here
        }

With microsoft edge i see no error thou however the button still does nothing

Hi again Arthur.

Have you built your solution? Is seems like you have your controllers and models localted in /controllers and /models, which means you need to build you solution to be able to route your new controller.

Alternatly, move your controllers and models to the /App_Code folder (you may need to create this folder), that way they will compile at runtime.

FYI i wrote the same code as your screendumps in a local solution and thet form works fine for me. So I guess it has do do something with your controllers not beeing compiled correctly.

Thanks for trying to help Dennis!

I do build the solution (Control + Shift +B) however i notice that if i build it like this my browser can't connect to my localhost so i press the Play symbol which seems to also build the solution but then i can actually connect to it via my browser.

I created the App_Code folder and moved my models and controllers in there. Built it and when the site opened i got hit with errors.

That is because now the same route is defined twice.

1. Move your controllers and models to /App_Code
2. Make sure they dont still exisit in /Controllers & /Models
3. Build your solution.

Dont call yourself useless. Everyone is new in the beginning.

Ok. Rename the controller and your model in App_Code. That way you wont get that VS error and you will get a new route for this controller.

Ex.

ContactSurfaceController - rename > ContactFormSurfaceController

ContactModel - rename > ContactFormModel

Then you need to make these changes in your views.

Sorry had to delete previous post as i uploaded the incorrect pics. Still same issue thou. Have i done anything incorrect here?

I looks like you have another error now? "The type or namespace 'Home' does not exist..". That doesn't seems to be related to this issue.

Other than that change the namespace for your controller and model to WebApplication1.

namespace WebApplication1
{
    public class ContactFormSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        public ActionResult HandleFormPost(ContactFormModel model)
        {

        }
    }
}

And do the same for you model. After that you need to change the namespaces for your model and controller in your view ContactForm.cshtml (as you can see you are currently referencing WebApplication1.Model... and WebApplication1.Controllers...)

Which error? The namespace 'Home' doesn't exist?

Can you show a screendump of your /Views/Home.cshtml file?

The error of Route names must be unique. Parameter name: name

He are my Home screen dumps

Strange.

Could you right-click on your controller and model and select properties, then under Build Action make sure it says "Content".

Then build you solution.

So good news is that i no longer get the error message of them not being unique (Yay!) however the button is still doing nothing

Yay!! :)

Ok, do you get some kind of error in your console when you try to post your form?

Console still clean. No error messages that i can see. The console in the web browser

Hehe ok, damn! This was a tricky one. :)

Could you please provide these screendumps:

ContactForm.cshml

ContactModel.cs

ContactForm.cshtml

ContactPage.cshtml

ContactFormSurfaceController

Here are the requested Screen Dumps

That is strange. Everyting looks fine.

I've just litteraly copied every line of your code into my own local project and everything works perfect!, the form gets posted when I press submit.

I see that the actionresult that the form is posting to is just redirecting to the current page, are you sure that no server request happens when you post your form?

So unless you have some sort of javascript or something blocking the form, I have no idea why this does´nt work for you. I think its really strange that you dont get any Console errors.

I did the best I could, sorry it was'nt enough..

The browser sometimes gives me an error and sometimes not. Gave me this now http://localhost:49971/__browserLink/requestData/100e71caf71d4a46a46ff923f64d9c3e?version=2

Is there no other button i could create that will do what this one was supposed to do?

Anyway Thank you so much for all your time and effort. Will just have to leave out a contact form from my test site

Downloaded Firefox to see if it works here and it gave me this error in its console.

Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead. browserLink:37:40278

Sorry to keep bothering but i thought i would just post it just incase it sheds any light

Follow the solution in this link to disable browser link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23101265/disable-browser-link-which-toolbar

This will remove the error.

However I don't think it will fix the problem with your form not being posted. :(

is working on a reply...
