I trying to Search a given list according to give "SearchKey". I have multiple buttons on my form, So to handle this i have used "ActionNameSelectorAttribute". But after using it, Value of SearchBox is not passed in ActionResult Method.

C#

[HttpPost]
        [MultiButton(MatchFormKey = "action", MatchFormValue = "Search")]
        public ActionResult Serach(string SearchKey)
        {
            ProjectUtility OProjectUtility = new ProjectUtility();
            IEnumerable<Project> obj = OProjectUtility.SearchByKey(SearchKey);
            return View(obj);
        }

the "SearchKey" value is null.

On View I have TextBox and a button.

Please help!

I think you cant get the textbox value directly,can use Formcollection class, in this class you will get value of all the controls present on form.

C#

[HttpPost]
       public ActionResult Edit(int id, FormCollection collection)
       {
           using (LoginModelDataContext objLoginModelDataContext = new LoginModelDataContext())
           {
               string Isupdate = collection["ckbStatus"];
               if (Isupdate == "true,false")
               {

                   objLoginModelDataContext.insertStatusOfGoal(id);
               }

               var recordToUpdate = objLoginModelDataContext.GoalDetails.Single(m => m.Id == id);
               TryUpdateModel(recordToUpdate);
               if (ModelState.IsValid)
               {
                   objLoginModelDataContext.SubmitChanges();
                   return RedirectToAction("Index");
               }
               return View(recordToUpdate);
           }

       }

In this code i am getting the value of checkbox,in the same way you can get the value of textbox.
hope this will help
