View to Controller Method 2: Day 17

Introduction

In this article we will see how to pass data from a view to a controller using Html.BeginForm() by explicitly passing an action method and controller.

Step 1

Create a MVC project from the "Empty" template. Right-click on "Controllers" and select "Add" >> "Controller...".

Step 2

Select "MVC 5 Controller - Empty" to add an empty controller. Click on the "Add" button.

Step 3

Name the controller "CalcController"; an Index() action result method will be added.

Step 4

To add a view, right-click on "Index" and select "Add View...".

Step 5

Name the view and select "Empty (without model)" as the template. Click on the "Add" button.

Step 6

Here we pass an action method named "Add" and controller name "Calc" in html.beginform(). So it is not necessary for the action method name to be "Index".
