MVC-bind simple html textbox without use of html helper and Razor

Question

I have one question regarding MVC (I am new to MVC)
My question is

In MVC with Razor for textbox we write like this

@Html.TextBoxFor(m=>m.name)

Now suppose I don't want to use Razor and html helper class. I want simple html input, like this

<input type="text" name='@Model.name' value='@Model.name'>

Is the above possible somehow?

What are you trying to do that you wouldn't want Model binding? I ask since you say you are new to MVC, there may be a misconception. To answer your question though, yes, you can just write HTML. If the name attribute that you give it matches a property name in the model that the server accepts on its post back, then the binding would occur. So you would do <input type="text" name="name" value='@Model.name'/> — tostringtheory

@DaveA that is exactly what would be happening. I still don't understand his use case, but waiting for more info. — tostringtheory

@Sagarpatel you cannot bind the way you have used in the post. Check out the comment from user(tostringtheory) which helps — Karthik Chintala
