how to work on button controls in mvc asp.net -

in mvc application ,i have 3 button control on view page.i new mvc.so dont know how navigate through button control in mvc. want write 3 different methods on these 3 controls in controller. in asp.net had control event , cn write code on these events . how can achieve in mvc.

there many ways depending on trying achieve. first use standard hyperlink pointing corresponding controller action:

@html.actionlink("action 1", "actionname1", "controllername") @html.actionlink("action 2", "actionname2", "controllername") ... 

which invoke respective controller actions:

public actionresult actionname1() {     ... }  public actionresult actionname2() {     ... } 

another possibility use html forms:

@using (html.beginform("actionname1", "controllername")) {     <button type="submit">action 1</button> }  @using (html.beginform("actionname2", "controllername")) {     <button type="submit">action 2</button> }  ... 

a third approach have multiple submit buttons inside same form:

@using (html.beginform("actionname", "controllername")) {     <button type="submit" name="a" value="action1">action 1</button>     <button type="submit" name="a" value="action2">action 2</button> } 

and in controller action use a parameter used name of button know button used submit form:

public actionresult actionname(string a) {     if (a == "action1")      {         // first button used submit form     }     else if (a == "action2")      {         // second button used submit form     }     else     {         // no button used submit form => user clicked         // on enter key while inside of input fields     }      ... } 

and if wanted dispatch different controller actions depending on button clicked write custom actionnameselectorattribute shown in this answer.
