In this tutorial you will learn:<\/strong>
1.<\/strong> How to collect from value<\/strong> in Class in ASP.NET MVC 5 Project?
2.<\/strong> What are the different ways to Retrieve Form Values<\/strong>?
3.<\/strong> What is FormCollection<\/code><\/strong> Object, ModelBinder<\/code><\/strong> Class and UpdateModel<\/code><\/strong> Class?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I am going to explain 4 different ways to Collect Form Data in Controller class in ASP.NET MVC 5. It is a very basic job for any application is to collect form data and process them with programming logic and save to the database. There are various ways to gather form value in class and I have added 4 most popular and suitable ways to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\u00a0Create New ASP.NET MVC 5 Project and Add Controller, Models and Views.<\/strong>
1.<\/strong>\u00a0Create New MVC Project<\/strong>SaveFormData<\/code>\u00a0in Visual Studio 2013,2015 or 2017. Go to\u00a0File<\/strong>New<\/strong>Project<\/strong>. Select\u00a0Web<\/strong>\u00a0in left pane and then select\u00a0ASP.NET Web Application (.Net Framework)<\/strong>\u00a0in middle panel. A Template window will be opened. Select\u00a0Empty<\/strong>\u00a0Template and Check\u00a0MVC CheckBox<\/strong>\u00a0and click\u00a0OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Create Model:<\/strong> Create a Model class StudentModel.cs<\/code>. Right click on Models<\/strong> Folder Add<\/strong>Class<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Add<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Paste following code in StudentModel.cs<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. namespace SaveFormData.Models<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. {<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. public class StudentModel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. {<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. public int Id { get; set; }<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. public string Name { get; set; }<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. public string City { get; set; }<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. public string Address { get; set; }<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. }<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. }<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    3.<\/strong> Create Controller:<\/strong> Create a Controller HomeController.cs<\/code>. Right click<\/strong> on Controllers<\/strong> Folder > Add<\/strong> > Controller<\/strong>. Select MVC 5 Controller with read\/write actions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          FormCollection<\/code> object is used for accessing Form Data in controller class. The FormCollection<\/strong> Object automatically receives the posted form data. In the following example I am going to explain how to use FormCollection<\/strong> Object to retrieve form data into controller class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              I know what is going on your mind. You are thinking that how MVC map parameter exactly with correct components. It is very simple. MVC has a Model Binder<\/strong> that does the following task to match parameter with control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              a.<\/strong> Go to View Page
              b.<\/strong> Look for control name that match with parameter name.
              c.<\/strong> Map that control to parameter with same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \"Model<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

              But here is a catch. You have to use the same name as your component name. If you look for Create.cshtml source page you will notice that the controls name are same as the parameter name. It doesn’t matter ordering of parameter but naming should be same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n\n\n\n

              Method 3. Retrieve Form Data Directly from the Model Class<\/strong>Receive Form Data using StudentModel class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              In previous method, Model Binder<\/strong> works great if you have a form with 3 or 5 controls but what if you have a form with 30+ controls. It is not practical to use a 30+ parameter to retrieve form data. Your Model class fixes these issues and makes this job very easier. How see the example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                In this example, you can receive data directly from your model class. ModelState.IsValid<\/code> properties ensure that all the data filled in a control was in a correct format and validated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The UpdateModel<\/strong> class binds control data to models property<\/strong>. But there is a catch. When you use UpdateModel<\/strong> class, there is no parameter in [HttpPost] Create()<\/code> Method. As you know that there can not be two methods in a class with same name and same parameter types. As there are already a [HttpGet] Create()<\/code> method without parameter, so you cannot declare [HttpPost] Create()<\/code> method without parameter. So the solution is to change Create Method name as Create_Get()<\/code> and Create_Post()<\/code> or whatever you want to change. Then decorate both method with correct action name as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
