I have mvc 3 application in which i’m having one input form on Index.cshtml view. also having one webgrid which is having edit,delete button

depending upon these action links i need to change my submit button text. how can i achieve this inside homecontroller.cs ? using only one view for all edit,insert.

checking useraction inside homecontroller.cs

public ActionResult Index(string userAction)
    {
       if (userAction == "Edit" )
        {

        }


        if (userAction == "Delete" )
        {

        }

    }

        @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Index", new { uid = (int)item.id, userAction="Delete" }, new { @class = "Delete" })</text>),
}

You can store the userAction in ViewData or ViewBag and access it from the View.

public ActionResult Index(string userAction)
{
    ViewBag.UserAction = userAction;
}


<input type="submit" value="@(ViewBag.UserAction == "X" ? "Y" : "Z")" />
