Question

i have a form in which there can be multiple radio buttons generated dynamically in the view ,on the form submitted how can i collect the values in the controller. For example there are radio buttons dynamically generated like Gender (Male and Female), Education (BS,MS,BCS) . how can i have there value in the container.

Answer 1

If you know the names of the radio buttons you could use action parameters. If the names are arbitrary you could fetch the values from a FormCollection parameter passed to your POST action (it is a NameValueCollection so you could loop through the key and get the corresponding values).

Personally I would recommend you using deterministic names:

Gender:
<input type="radio" value="M" name="radios[0]" />
<input type="radio" value="F" name="radios[0]" />

Education:
<input type="radio" value="BS" name="radios[1]" />
<input type="radio" value="MS" name="radios[1]" />
<input type="radio" value="BCS" name="radios[1]" />

And in your controller action you could use a collection:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Update(string[] radios)
{
    // The radios collection will contain the selected values like:
    // radios[0] = "F"
    // radios[1] = "MS"
    ...
}
