282 Microsoft Visual Studio 2010: A Beginner’s Guide
VB:
'
' GET: /Customer/Delete/5
Function Delete(ByVal id As Integer) As ActionResult
Dim custRep As New CustomerRepository
custRep.DeleteCustomer(id)
TempData("Result") = "Customer Deleted."
Return RedirectToAction("Index")
End Function
Besides showing how to use the repository for performing the delete operation, there
are a couple of new items in Listing 9-12 that you’ll need to know about: TempData and
specifying a View. TempData is a special object for holding data for a single display of
a View. So, when the View displays, it can read the current value of TempData, but that
same value will not be available on the next View unless the Controller explicitly loads it
again.
In all of the other calls to View, it was assumed that a View named after the Controller
method would be returned, so it wasn’t necessary to specify the name of the View.
However, we don’t have a delete View, so we specify Index as the View explicitly.
To accommodate the delete operation, Listing 9-13 shows the modifications on the
Index.aspx View for Customers (located under \Views\Customer).
