How to Set Asp.net MVC Controller Post Method Parameter Default Value Using C#.Net

 In this article I will show you how you can set the default value to a controller post method parameter in an mvc application. We always face some situation where we don’t need to pass the parameter value but post back event take place. So in this case we will get below mention error.

Some of my previous articles which you may like: Error : SQL Server Compact is not intended for ASP.NET development., Bind DropDownList Using Entity Framework in ASP.Net MVC Using C#, Simple Login From in Asp.Net MVC Using C#.Net, Increase Session TimeOut in MVC 4

The parameters dictionary contains a null entry for parameter 'id' of non-nullable type 'System.Int32' for method 'System.Web.Mvc.ActionResult Index(Int32)' in 'PartialViewInMvc.Controllers.HomeController'. An optional parameter must be a reference type, a nullable type, or be declared as an optional parameter. Parameter name: parameters

So this error occurring because we are not passing any value to parameter due to which it’s getting null. So for preventing this error we will assign some default value to parameter. In this case if it’s get value then parameter value will be the passed value otherwise it will assign the default value which we have assign.

So the get method with no parameter.

[HttpGet]  public ActionResult Index()      {         return View();      }

Now httpost method with default parameter value.

[HttpPost]   public ActionResult Index(int id=0)      {         return View();          }

Enjoy the code. Happy coding J
