I am very new at MVC and what I am trying to do it seems simple but I can not figure it out. I have 4 buttons and what I want to do is when the user clicks one of the buttons it takes you to another view. I tried using RedirectAction but nothing happens.
VIEW
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>
Index</h2>
<p>
<button name="button" value="button1">
One</button>
<button name="button" value="button2">
Two</button>
<button name="button" value="button3">
Three</button>
<button name="button" value="button4">
Four</button>
CONTROLLER
public class HomeController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /Home/
public ActionResult Index(string button)
{
if (button == "button1")
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "About");
}
else if (button == "button2")
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Contact");
}
return View();
}
}

In order for the button to actually submit to the server you need type="submit"
on the button declaration. You also need a <form>
element in your HTML to tell it where to submit.
@using( Html.BeginForm() )
{
<button name="button" value="button1" type="submit">One</button>
<button name="button" value="button2" type="submit">Two</button>
<button name="button" value="button3" type="submit">Three</button>
<button name="button" value="button4" type="submit">Four</button>
}
