getting value of input text from html to mvc

Question

I have textbox containing the url. In html it looks like this:

<input id="BannerLink1" name="BannerLink1" type="text" value="@ViewBag.baner1_link" />

I'm trying to get this value to controller using Request object:

baner.Url_link = Request["BannerLink1"];

But my controller always see Request["BannerLink1"] as empty string. Any guesses what can be wrong?

Check in the network tab in your browser that the input's value actually sent. — Mosh Feu

It used to save value in database. When I hardcode some value, like baner.Url_link = "google.com"; it works crrectly. — Arkadiusz Raszeja

Sure. What I mean is that you can check if the input's value sent correctly to the server using network tab. — Mosh Feu

You need to put your input-tag inside form tags (Html.BeginForm()) to put the value when the form posts.

Certainly, if you want to post it with your form to a server, when submitting the whole form, then you should put it between form tags. Or do you strive to send it by ajax?

I used Html.BeginForm and it works.<br> However now I have different issue, after using 'new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }' I can't pass other parameters. Anyway thank you :)

Do you mean passing additional parameters to the server? You can always use the method version with the routeValues parameter for this purpose. Actually, you don't even have to use 'enctype = "multipart/form-data"' if you don't need to pass binary data from your form.
