Question

I have two buttons on my cshtml page – Agree and Disagree – how can I easily pass back there values to my Controller so I can make a decision to either take them to Homepage or Log them back out.

So on my cshtml page I have…

    <input type="button" name='Agree' value="I Agree"
                   onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("DoAccept", "Home")'" />
    <input type="button" name='Delete' value="I Disagree"
                   onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("DoAccept", "Home")'" />

So In my Home Controller then I have a DoAccept method as below:

    public ActionResult DoAcceptTC()
    {
       //if( buttom clicked was Agree)
        return RedirectToAction(VIEW_HOMEPAGE);
       //else
      //return Logout page..  
    }

So My question is how can I easily get a value back to the controller method?

Answer 1

There’s no much point in using inputs without html form hosting them. You could use form, or simple links

//view
@using(Html.BeginForm("DoAccept"))
{
     <button name="decision" value="agree">I Agree</button>
     <button name="decision" value="disagree">I disagree</button>
}

//controller
public ActionResult DoAcceptTC(string decision)
{
    //decision == "agree"
}
