So I will explain this article in two parts first how you can get the textbox control value at controller end.

PART 1: TextBox

Now here is the view.

@{     ViewBag.Title = "Access TextBox and TextboxFor Value From View To Controller In Asp.net MVC"; } @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home")) {      <b>Acess Textbox </b>     @Html.TextBox("Name","")     <br />     <input type="submit" value="Submit TextBox" /> }

Here is the controller code.

[HttpPost]  public ActionResult Index(int id = 0)  {   string name = Request.Form["Name"].ToString();   return View();  }

Now run the application to check the output.

Now click on button for making postback.

Here what you need

PART 2:  TextBoxFor

Now here is the view for textboxfor control. For this article first we will create model class for this. In this we will bind the control with model and on post back we will access the model control value. so her is  the model class.

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; namespace MvcApplication6.Models {     public class StudentModel     {         public string Name { get; set; }     } }

After this we will create view for the controller.

@model  MvcApplication6.Models.StudentModel @{     ViewBag.Title = "Access TextBox and TextboxFor Value From View To Controller In Asp.net MVC"; } @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home")) {     <b>Acess Textbox </b>     @Html.TextBoxFor(m=>m.Name)     <br />     <input type="submit" value="Submit TextBoxFor" /> }

Here is the completer code for the controller.

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc; namespace MvcApplication6.Models {     public class HomeController : Controller     {         //         // GET: /Home/         public ActionResult Index()         {             return View();         }         [HttpPost]         public ActionResult Index(StudentModel objstudentmodel)         {             string name = objstudentmodel.Name;             return View();         }     } }
