MVC razor form with multiple different submit buttons?

Question

A Razor view has 3 buttons inside a form. All button's actions will need form values which are basically values coming input fields.

Every time I click any of buttons it redirected me to default action. Can you please guide how I can submit form to different actions based on button press ?

I really appreciate your time, guidance and help.

Answer 1

You could also try this:

<input type="submit" name="submitbutton1" value="submit1" /> <input type="submit" name="submitbutton2" value="submit2" /> 

Then in your default function you call the functions you want:

if( Request.Form["submitbutton1"] != null) {     // Code for function 1 } else if(Request.Form["submitButton2"] != null ) {     // code for function 2 } 

Answer 2

This elegant solution works for number of submit buttons:

@Html.Begin() {   // Html code here   <input type="submit" name="command" value="submit1" />   <input type="submit" name="command" value="submit2" />  } 

And in your controllers' action method accept it as a parameter.

public ActionResult Create(Employee model, string command) {     if(command.Equals("submit1"))     {       // Call action here...     }     else     {       // Call another action here...     } }
