Adding a Summary Message

.NET MVC has another method to store temporary messages.

The syntax is TempData["Message"] = "Your entry was succesfully added!";

Try to add it if the ModelState is valid for three actions, Add, Edit, and Delete.

Designer team has provided us with HTML markup to display the summary message.

<div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissible" role="alert">
    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span></button>
    Your entry was successfully added!
</div>

In order to display the message, the proper place to show it is in Index cshtml page.

@if (TempData["Message"] != null)
{
    <div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissible" role="alert">
    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
        <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
    </button>
    TempData["Message"]
    </div>
}
