Question

I have a 4 submit buttons to do different action operation’s. For One Submit I have written like this

@using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", "Seller", FormMethod.Post)){ 

}

How can we do for multiple Submit buttons ? Do we need to write the same for every Submit button?

Here is how you do it for two submit buttons, similary you can do this for ‘n’ submit buttons.

Below is a form with two submit buttons. Note that both these submit buttons have the same name i.e “submitButton”

@Html.BeginForm("MyAction", "MyController"); %>
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Button1" />
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Button2" />
}

Now over to the Controller, the Action takes in an input parameter called string stringButton and the rest is pretty self-explanatory.

public ActionResult MyAction(string submitButton) {
        switch(submitButton) {
            case "Button1":
               // do something here
            case "Button2":
               // do some other thing here
            default:
                // add some other behaviour here
        }
...
}
