Hi
@DSK Chakravarthy,
In ASP.NET MVC, method overloading based on input parameters directly in the way you're describing isn't supported. The framework uses the method name to route the request to the corresponding action, and it doesn't consider the parameters for method selection.
If you want to achieve different behavior based on the input parameters, you have a few options:
1. ActionName Attribute:
As you mentioned, you can use the ActionName attribute to specify different names for your actions. This allows you to have multiple actions with different parameters.
public class YourController : Controller
{
public ActionResult GetSomeData()
{
// Default execution for given route
}
[ActionName("GetSomeDataByInt")]
public ActionResult GetSomeData(int inputValue)
{
// Route detection with the input parameter and change the functional flow for INT data type
}
[ActionName("GetSomeDataByString")]
public ActionResult GetSomeData(string inputString)
{
// Route detection with the input parameter and change the functional flow for STRING data type
}
}
2. Use a Single Action with Nullable Parameters:
Combine all your logic into a single action with nullable parameters and handle the logic based on the provided values.
public class YourController : Controller
{
public ActionResult GetSomeData(int? inputValue, string inputString)
{
if (inputValue.HasValue)
{
// Route detection with the input parameter and change the functional flow for INT data type
}
else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(inputString))
{
// Route detection with the input parameter and change the functional flow for STRING data type
}
else
{
// Default execution for given route
}
}
}
3. Use Route Constraints:
You can define route constraints to guide the routing based on parameter types. However, this might not be as flexible as you want.
public class YourController : Controller
{
[Route("YourController/GetSomeData/{input:int}")]
public ActionResult GetSomeDataByInt(int input)
{
// Route detection with the input parameter and change the functional flow for INT data type
}
[Route("YourController/GetSomeData/{input}")]
public ActionResult GetSomeDataByString(string input)
{
// Route detection with the input parameter and change the functional flow for STRING data type
}
}
Choose the approach that best fits your requirements and design preferences.
