Question

Im new to asp .net mvc3. I have a requirement that i post a form to a url say “www.abc.com/asa” . I have added a submit button to my application. But every time i click the button, form gets submitted to corresponding controller. How can i post to my required url?

Answer 1

Normally in mvc we follow below convention:

[httpGet] //default not to mention
public ActionResult Index()
{
    // Todo code here
}

[httpPost]
public ActionResult Index(FormCollection collection)
{
   // Form submit here, all form data available here
}

But in your case you may write following in your view:

@using (Html.BeginForm("ActionName", "Controller", "FormMethod", "HTML Attributes"))
{
   // Here Controller: it defines whose actionmethod need to be called when form get submitted.
}

EX:

@using(Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post, new {@action="http://www.abc.com/asa"})
{
}
