c# - Deleting a Resource -

i have asp.net mvc app. need delete record. in controller, have action looks this:

[httpget] public actionresult orders()  {   return view(); }  [httpdelete] public actionresult orders(int orderid) {   return redirecttoaction("orders", new { d = "true" }); } 

in view, have:

<button type="button" class="btn btn-link" onclick="return deleteorder(@order.orderid);">delete order</button>  function deleteorder(id) {   if (confirm('are sure want delete?')) {     $.ajax({       url: '/ordercontroller/orders/',       type: 'delete',       data: {         orderid: id       }     });   }   return false; } 

oddly, approach [httpdelete] orders never reached. i'm not sure how delete action work in mvc action.

probably url wrong. not need specify sufix controller on class , best way right url according route tables using url property in view.

anoth point async request (delete action method) returns redirect , should deal on client-side because jquery not redirect client. try this:

on client-side

 $.ajax({       url: '@url.action("orders", "order")',       type: 'delete',       data: {         orderid: id       },       success: function(data) {           if (data.success) {              window.location.href = data.redirecturl;           }       }  }); 

on server-side:

[httpdelete] public actionresult orders([frombody]int orderid) {    // check if async request   if (request.isajaxrequest)   {      return json(new { success = true, urlredirect = url.action("orders", new { d = "true "});   }    return redirecttoaction("orders", new { d = "true" }); }
