Handling multiple submit button in asp.net mvc

Anonymous User199007-Oct-2014
Is there some easy way to handle multiple submit buttons from the same form? Example.

<% Html.BeginForm("MyAction", "MyController",FormMethod.Post); %>
<inputtype="submit"value="Send"/>
<inputtype="submit"value="Cancel"/>
<%Html.EndForm(); %>

Any idea how to do this in ASP.NET Framework Beta? All examples I've googled for have single buttons in them.

Here is a mostly clean attribute-based solution to the multiple submit button issue based heavily on the post and comments from.
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = true)]
        publicclassMultipleButtonAttribute : ActionNameSelectorAttribute
        {
            publicstring Name { get; set; }
            publicstring Argument { get; set; }
 
            publicoverridebool IsValidName(ControllerContext controllerContext, string actionName, MethodInfo methodInfo)
            {
                var isValidName = false;
                var keyValue = string.Format("{0}:{1}", Name, Argument);
                var value = controllerContext.Controller.ValueProvider.GetValue(keyValue);
 
                if (value != null)
                {
                    controllerContext.Controller.ControllerContext.RouteData.Values[Name] =Argument;
                    isValidName = true;
                }
 
                return isValidName;
            }
        }

razor:

<formaction=""method="post">
 <inputtype="submit"value="Save"name="action:Save"/>
 <inputtype="submit"value="Cancel"name="action:Cancel"/>
</form>

and controller:

[HttpPost]
        [MultipleButton(Name = "action", Argument = "Save")]
        publicActionResult Save(MessageModel mm) { ... }
 
        [HttpPost]
        [MultipleButton(Name = "action", Argument = "Cancel")]
        publicActionResult Cancel(MessageModel mm) { ... }
