 [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
     public ActionResult Edit(int Id, FormCollection collection)

The form tag is prepopulated as but I want to set it to /Product/Edit/1

I am using this

<%using (Html.BeginForm()){ %>

but know its not right.Can someone help me how to set the form action using the htmlhelper class extension method to the Url in the browser

Answer 1

If you look at the intellisense for creating a Form with the HtmlHelper you will see there are parameters for specifying routeValues (of type object). Here you can specify the ID.

Your Edit View will be strongly typed with your Product object so you can specify Model.ID.

<% using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", "Product", new { Id = Model.ID } %>
