Handling multiple submit button in asp.net mvc

Anonymous User 2230 07-Oct-2014
Is there some easy way to handle multiple submit buttons from the same form? Example.

<%
Html.BeginForm("MyAction", "MyController",FormMethod.Post); %>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
<input type="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)]
        public class MultipleButtonAttribute : ActionNameSelectorAttribute
        {
            public string Name { get; set; }
            public string Argument { get; set; }
 
            public override bool 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:

<form action="" method="post">
 <input type="submit" value="Save" name="action:Save" />
 <input type="submit" value="Cancel" name="action:Cancel" />
</form>

and controller:

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