Give submit button a label that's different from value passed to controller

I have this form on my page:

@using (Html.BeginForm("CreateComment", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
       {
           string xid = Model.Id;

           @Html.TextArea("comment", new { @class = "form-control" })

           <input type="submit" value="@xid" name="xid" class="btn btn-primary" />
       }

My problem is that the text of the actual button is the value of Model.Id. My goal is to pass the xid to my controller but I want the text on the button to say something else. How can I do this?

The value attribute of an <input type="submit"> element specifies both its label and its posted value.

If you want the label and posted value to differ, then you can use a <button> element instead. Put the label (which can include formatting too!) between the <button> and </button> tags:

<button value="@xid" name="xid" class="btn btn-primary">Click Me</button>
