Can i have more than one Post method in asp.net mvc controller?

I have two views, one is CustomerDetail.cshtml and another is PAymentDetail.cshtml and i have one controller QuoteController.cs.

Both the Views has Submit buttons and HTTPPOST method for both the views are in QuoteController.cs. 

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CustomerDetail(FormCollection form)
{
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult PAymentDetail(FormCollection form)
{
}

Now, when i click on Submit button of Payment details, it is calling/routing to HttpPost method of CustomerDetail rather than PAymentDetail.

Could anyone help me on this?? What i'm doing wrong? Both The form method is POST.

For the PaymentDetail, you use this in the view:

@using(Html.BeginForm("PAymentDetail","Quote",FormMethod.Post)) 
{
  //Form element here 
}

The result html will be

<form action="/Quote/PAymentDetail" method="post"></form>

The same for customer Detail

@using(Html.BeginForm("CustomerDetail","Quote",FormMethod.Post)) 
{
  //Form element here
}

Hope that help. Having two post methods in the same controller is not a problems, as long as these methods have different names.

For a better way other than FormCollection, I recommend this. First, you create a model.

public class LoginModel
{
    public string UserName { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
    public bool RememberMe { get; set; }
    public string ReturnUrl { get; set; }

}

Then, in the view:

@model LoginModel
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {

<fieldset>
    <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserName)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserName)
        //Insted of razor tag, you can create your own input, it must have the same name as the model property like below.
        <input type="text" name="Username" id="Username"/>
    </div>
    <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Password)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Password)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.RememberMe)    
    </div>
</fieldset>
  }

These user input will be mapped into the controller.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model)
{
   String username = model.Username;
   //Other thing
}

Good luck with that.

If you want to have only one url, here is another approach: http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=724

The idea is to use a form element (the button or a hidden element) to decide, which form has been submitted. Then you write a custom action selector (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.actionmethodselectorattribute.aspx) which decides which action will be invoked.

Absolutely! Just ensure you are posting to the right action method, check your rendered HTML's form tags.

Also, the FormCollection isn't a good design for MVC.
