Question

I have a form to delete a record. One the form I am using a delete button and when the button is clicked the form is submitted.

<input type="submit" value="Delete" />

How can I implement a cancel and check in the action if it is the delete or the cancel that has been clicked?

Answer 1

You have to give the input a name. For example:

<input type='submit' value='Delete' name='action' />
<input type='submit' value='Cancel' name='action' />

And then in your Action:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Submit(string action) {
    if (action == "Delete") {
        // User clicked "Delete"
    } else {
        // User clicked "Cancel"
    }
}
