How to pass textbox value to controller

Question

I have a textbox like below

   @using (Html.BeginForm("checkUserType", "Place", new {type =  }))
    {
        <div id="login">
            <div class="userNameLabel">UserName</div>
            <div class="userNameField"><input type="text" id="txtUserName"/><span><input type="button" value="ok" id="ok" /></span></div>
        </div>
    }

I want to pass the textbox value to my controller. For that I used the below code, but it's not working... Pls help...

Action method

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult checkUserType(string type)
        {
            var elements = from element in db.USERS
                           where element.UserType == type
                           select element;
            if (elements == null)
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            else
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Place/Index");
            }
        }

Please show your action method, also if you are going for GET request than your code needs to be changed at least like this window.location.href = '@Url.Action( "checkUserType", "Place" )' + '?type=' + type; or like this if the type parameter is being taken from the route window.location.href = '@Url.Action( "checkUserType", "Place" )' + '/' + type; — tpeczek

Then you should go for the Form in order to have POST request (you should look at @NeerajDubey answer). — tpeczek

Try This

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<h2>Index</h2>
<% Html.BeginForm("Search", "Employee");%>
<table>
   <tr>
    <td>
        Name:
    </td>
    <td>
        <input type="text" id="SearchText" name="SearchText" style="width: 325px" />
    </td>
    <td> 
    </td>
    <td>
        <input type="submit" id="Search" value="Search" />
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
<% Html.EndForm();%>

your action goes like this...

public ActionResult Search(string searchText)
{ 
 }

Hope it helps you

MVC will map your names of inputs to parameters of your method.

However, your current input doesn't specify a name:

<input type="text" id="txtUserName"/>

So add that:

<input type="text" name="type" id="txtUserName"/>

And it will map to the parameter. And take away the anonymous object from the BeginForm since that value will be provided by the input field, so doen't need to be in the form's action.

I just update your code try this

 @using (Html.BeginForm("checkUserType", "Place"))
    {
        <div id="login">
            <div class="userNameLabel">
                UserName</div>
            <div class="userNameField">
                <input type="text" id="txtUserName" name="UserName" /><span><input type="submit" value="ok" id="ok" /></span></div>
        </div>
    }

and controller

 public ActionResult checkUserType(string UserName)
        {
 string _data = UserName;


        }
