Displaying model assigned name in View Mvc3 - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

This is my View
#
using (Html.BeginForm("Display", "Home", #FormMethod.Post))
{
<div>Name:<a>#ViewBag.st</a><br /></div>
<a></a>
<div>City:<a>America</a></div>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<br />
}
THis is model class
public class User
{
private string m_name = string.Empty;
public string Name
{
get
{
return m_name;
}
set
{
m_name = value;
}
}
}
This is my controller class
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Viewdetails()
{
User ur=new User();
ur.Name = "Danny";
ViewBag.st = ur.Name;
return View();
}
[HttpPost, ActionName("Viewdetails")]
public ActionResult Test()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Display()
{
return View();
}
}
Now how to display Danny in my view in my Viewdetails.cshtml instead of using
#Viewbag

Answer 1

You could use an input field so that when the form is submitted its value is sent to the Display action. Also let's clean a little bit your code and get rid of ViewBag.
So you have a model which is fine:
public class User
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
Then you could have a controller with 2 actions - one that populates the model and passes it to the Viewdetails.cshtml view and another action which is invoked when the form is submitted and renders the Display.cshtml view:
public class HomeController: Controller
{
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Viewdetails()
{
User ur = new User();
ur.Name = "SravanKumar";
return View(ur);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Display(User ur)
{
return View(ur);
}
}
and then inside your Viewdetails.cshtml view you would use the model to render an input field instead of a link:
#model User
#using (Html.BeginForm("Display", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
<div>Name: #Html.EditorFor(x => x.Name)</div>
<div>City: Secunderabad</div>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
}
and inside your Display.cshtml view:
#model User
<div>Thanks for choosing the name: #Model.Name</div>
