Search and display on same page in mvc2 asp net

have a simple sear开发者_如何学Goch form with a textbox. And upon submitting the form I send the contents of the textbox to a stored procedure which returns to me the results. I want the results to be displayed on the same page the form was, except just below it.

Right now I'm doing the following but it's not working out exactly the way I want:

sathishkumar,

You don't tag the question as being an ajax related solution or not. I'm going to present a simple ajax approach which may or may not be suitable.

in the controller:

public ActionResult Search(string searchTerm)
{
    // you don't add code re your stored proc, so here is a repo based approach
    var searchItems = _repository.Find(x => x.searchfield.Contains(searchTerm));
    return PartialView("SearchPartial", searchItems);
}

main view (index.aspx or whatever) (below where your main content is defined, add):

<div id="searchResults"></div>

in another part of the page (semi psuedo-code):

<script type="text/javascript">
     function getSearchResults() {
         // #yoursearchbox is a textbox on the index.aspx aview
         var tdata = { searchTerm: $('#yoursearchbox').val()}; 
         // or your data in the format that will be used ??
         $.ajax({
           type: "GET",
           data: tdata,
           url : '<%= Url.Action("Search", "Home") %>',
           success: function (result) { success(result); }  
        });
      }); 

    function success(result){
        $("#searchResults").html(result);
    }
</script>

You'd then add a partial view SearchPartial.ascx that contained your model for the search results.

Hope this helps.

You can use Ajax to solve the problem.

<div>
`@using (Ajax.BeginForm("action", "controller", new AjaxOptions
    {
        UpdateTargetId = "results",
        HttpMethod = "GET",
    }))
    {
        @Html.TextBox()
        <input type="submit" value="Search" />
    }`
<div id="results"></div>
</div>
