Using Razor to call C# function

Question

I have a simple piece of HTML code which is supposed to call C# function on a press of a button, but it looks like the URL is bad, can anyone help me with Razor syntax? So far I have the following:

<div class="test1">
<div class="col-md-4">
    <h1>Some button</h1>
    <input type="button" value="Create" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("addAdress", "AdressController")'" />
    <p></p>
</div>

And here is the Controller that is supposed to do something, name of the Controller is AdressController

private void addAdress()
    {
        Adress a = new Adress();

        a.Number = "1";
        a.Distance = 100;

        Dictionary<string, object> queryDict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
        queryDict.Add("Number", a.Number);
        queryDict.Add("Distance", a.Distance);

        var query = new Neo4jClient.Cypher.CypherQuery("CREATE (n:Adress {Number:'" + a.Number + "', Distance:'" + a.Distance + "'}) return n",
                                                        queryDict, CypherResultMode.Set);

        List<Adress> adrese = ((IRawGraphClient)client).ExecuteGetCypherResults<Adress>(query).ToList();

        /*
        foreach (Adress a1 in adrese)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(a1.Number);
        }
        */
    }

Try this : <input type="button" value="Create" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("addAdress", "Adress")'" /> — Dev

You showed us your "controller method" but it's not an action method. Seems like you need to review the basics of MVC. You should return an ActionResult, your method should be public, and you should have routing configured for it. — mason

well href will expect a url if you don't want that then use preventDefault() and cont. with your operation — Arijit Mukherjee

Your controller Method is private, try changing to public

Sugestion

If you are going to change location.href on click, just wrap the input inside a link:

<a href='@Url.Action("addAdress", "Adress")'>
    <input type="button" value="Click Me">
</a>

It also needs to be "Address" not "AddressController"

Yes, that was the solution I needed, much appreciated
