Question

Is there a way to access a POST value from the View (without passing by the controller)

@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
    <fieldset>
        @Html.TextBox("SomeValue")    
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </fieldset>
}

The value being posted is @SomeValue

What is the right syntax for @SomeValue

Answer 1

I think the forms collection could be accessed by:

HttpContext.Current.Request.Form

…but why? It defeats the purpose of MVC.
