HttpPost in MVC 1

Question

I have to maintain a project that uses MVC 1. It seems like it doesn't know anything about [HttpPost], and the same action method is called for both get and post. What is the right way to distinguish between creating a view and submitting the form data?

Thanks.

No, it is not a duplicate. I did not try to use the same signature. — Dmitriy Reznik, Jun 19 '15 at 14:12

MVC 1 is ancient but in order to do that you use the AcceptVerbs attribute

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]

or

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]

etc.

Thanks! That is what I was looking for. – Dmitriy Reznik Jun 19 '15 at 11:57
So the full solution can be seen here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/724386/post-and-get-with-same-method-signature The AcceptVerbs gives you HttpPost/Get but you also need to have the additional signature changes. – mikeswright49 Jun 19 '15 at 16:28
Never mind, I needed to specify method="post" on the form. Thanks. – Dmitriy Reznik Jun 19 '15 at 17:07
