Recently I have updated MVC to 5.1. I am getting exception

Cannot call action method 'Void MyAd(Inspinia_MVC5_SeedProject.Models.Ad ByRef, System.String, System.String, System.String)' on controller 'Inspinia_MVC5_SeedProject.CodeTemplates.ElectronicsController' because the parameter 'Inspinia_MVC5_SeedProject.Models.Ad& ad' is passed by reference.

on routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

MyAd function is:

public void MyAd(ref Ad ad,string SaveOrUpdate,string cateogry = null,string subcategory = null)
        {
            var type = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request["type"];
            var isbiding = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request["bidingAllowed"];
            var condition = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request["condition"];
            var pp = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request["price"];
            //other huge stuff.
        }

I am using this function in different controllers.

I call the function to save data in ad object

MyAd(ref ad,"Save","Electronics","HomeAppliances");

and then I use data as ad.type.

How can I tackle this exception?

You can try a static variable in global

private static test;

public ActionResult(string name)
{
   test=name;
    .....
}
