Submit (Post) Form using ActionLink in ASP.Net MVC

Here Mudassar Ahmed Khan has explained with an example, how to submit (post) Form using
ActionLink in ASP.Net MVC 5 Razor.
@Html.ActionLink is rendered as an HTML Anchor Tag (HyperLink) and hence it produces a

GET request to the Controller’s Action method which cannot be used to submit (post) Form in
ASP.Net MVC 5 Razor.
Hence in order to submit (post) Form using @Html.ActionLink, a jQuery Click event handler is
assigned and when the @Html.ActionLink is clicked, Form is submitted (posted) using JavaScript
Submit function.

Sample Program example.
Model
Following is a Model class named PersonModel with four properties i.e. PersonId, Name, Gender and
City.
public class PersonModel
///<summary>
/// Gets or sets PersonId.
///</summary>
public int PersonId { get; set; }
///<summary>
/// Gets or sets Name.
///</summary>
public string Name { get; set; }

///<summary>
/// Gets or sets Gender.
///</summary>
public string Gender { get; set; }
///<summary>
/// Gets or sets City.
///</summary>
public string City { get; set; }
Controller
Then you will need to add a Controller class to your project. There are two Action methods with the name
Index, one for handling the GET operation while other for handling the POST operation.
The Action method for POST operation accepts an object of the PersonModel class as parameter. The
values posted from the Form inside the View are received through this parameter.
public class HomeController : Controller
// GET: Home
public ActionResult Index()
return View();
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(PersonModel person)
int personId = person.PersonId;
string name = person.Name;
string gender = person.Gender;
string city = person.City;

return View();
View
Inside the View, in the very first line the PersonModel class is declared as Model for the View.
The View consists of an HTML Form which has been created using the Html.BeginForm method with the
following parameters.
ActionName – Name of the Action. In this case the name is Index.
ControllerName – Name of the Controller. In this case the name is Home.
FormMethod – It specifies the Form Method i.e. GET or POST. In this case it will be set to POST.
There are three TextBox fields created for capturing values for PersonId, Name and City using the
Html.TextBoxFor method. While for capturing the Gender value, a DropDownList with three options is
created using the Html.DropDownListFor function.
There’s also a Submit ActionLink at the end of the Form generated using @Html.ActionLink method and
when the ActionLink is clicked, the Form is submitted using jQuery.
@model ActionLink_Send_Model_MVC.Models.PersonModel
@{
Layout = null;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"/>
<title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post))

{
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th colspan="2" align="center">Person Details</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PersonId: </td>
<td>
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.PersonId)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name: </td>
<td>
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gender: </td>
<td>
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Gender, new List<SelectListItem>
{ new SelectListItem{Text="Male", Value="M"},
new SelectListItem{Text="Female", Value="F"}}, "Please

select")
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>City: </td>
<td>
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.City)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>@Html.ActionLink("Submit", "", null, new { @id = "submit"
})</td>
</tr>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#submit").click(function () {
document.forms[0].submit();
return false;
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
