Answer 1

2 ways:

1 – your model has to have this property that it can pass to HiddenFor. For example

class

class PageModel{
   public string HiddenFieldValue{get;set;}
   public string Name {get;set;}
}

in cshtml

@model PageModel
...
@Html.hiddenfor(model => model.name, model.HiddenFieldValue)

in controller

public ViewResult MyPage(){
    return View(new PageModel(){
        HiddenFieldValue = "Hello World!";
    });
}

2nd way: pass in through ViewBag/ViewData.

in controller

public ViewResult MyPage(){
    ViewBag.HiddenFieldValue = "Hello World!";
    return View();
}

in cshtml

@model PageModel
...
@Html.hiddenfor(model => model.name, ViewBag.HiddenFieldValue)
