calling action from button onclick

I am new on mvc programming. I have two labels, two textboxes and one button and I have to use devexpress tools. It is like login form. I want to call an actionresult from a controller class when I click the button. How can I do that if it is possible?

That's my button

<dx:ASPxButton ID="ASPxButton1" runat="server" Text="Giriş" OnClick="ASPxButton1_Click"  Theme="Moderno" EnableTheming="True"></dx:ASPxButton>

and that's my button click event

<script runat="server">

protected void ASPxButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
</script>

and these are in Index.aspx page.

I'm not entirely sure what your asking, but I'll attempt to clarify.

// Model View Controller:
<form action="/Home/Validate" method="post">
     <input type="text" name="username" required />
     <input type="text" name="password" required />
     <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

That would be in your code, then you hit the button which will submit your form and point to your Validate Controller. Which would look like:

public ActionResult Validate(string username, string password)
{
     // Do Stuff, then call your next view and pass model.
     return RedirectToAction("Account");
}

Important: In Model View Controller you don't call button clicks, you call Controllers. So you would point your destination to a Controller method (example):

<a href="/Home/Validate">Validate</a>
<input type="button" onclick="/Home/Validate" />
  • Home - will reference the Controller
  • Validate - will reference the method within the Controller.

Your code is from the realm of an Web-Forms, if it is all server side code without custom JavaScript then you may be able to simply do:

<asp:UpdatePanel id="updAccount" runat="server">
     <ContentTemplate>
         // Your button, textbox for Submit (Alleviates Postback).
     </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

That would be the simpler of the two Web-Forms approach. However, you could indeed use jQuery or JavaScript to accomplish this as well.
