Could anyone please tell how to pass dynamic values using Url.action().
Something Like,
var firstname="abc";
var username = "abcd";
location.href = '@Html.Raw(@Url.Action("Display", "Customer", new { uname = firstname ,name = username}))';
firstname, username is not getting reffered inside the Url.action() method.
How to pass these dynamic values using Url.action()?

The @Url.Action() method is proccess on the server-side, so you cannot pass a client-side value to this function as a parameter. You can concat the client-side variables with the server-side url generated by this method, which is a string on the output. Try something like this:
let firstName = "John";
let userName = "Smith";
location.href = '@Url.Action("Display", "Customer")?uname=' + firstName + '&name=' + userName ;
The @Url.Action("Display", "Customer") is processed on the server-side and the rest of the string is processed on the client-side, concatenating the result of the server-side method with the client-side.
This answer might not be 100% relevant to the question. But it does address the problem. I found this simple way of achieving this requirement. Code goes below:
<a href="@Url.Action("Display", "Customer")?custId={{cust.Id}}"></a>
In the above example {{cust.Id}} is an AngularJS variable. However one can replace it with a JavaScript variable.
I haven't tried passing multiple variables using this method but I'm hopeful that also can be appended to the Url if required.
The easiest way is:
onClick= 'location.href="/controller/action/"+paramterValue'
In my case it worked great just by doing the following:
The Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult DoSomething(int custNum)
{
// Some magic code here...
}
