Answer 1

You can do something like the following :

in your first controller :

public ActionResult Index()
        {
           BookAppointment model = new BookAppointment() { TransactionStatus = "Passed" };
        return View(model);
        }

your first view :

@model BookAppointment


@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}


@using (Html.BeginForm("AppointmentStatusPage", "ServiceConsumer", FormMethod.Post))
{
    <input id="btnGo" type="submit" class="btn btn-sm btn-info" value="Go" />
    @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.TransactionStatus);
}

In your second controller :

[HttpPost]
  public ActionResult AppointmentStatusPage(BookAppointment bookAppointment)
{
    try
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Session["UserID"].ToString()) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(bookAppointment.TransactionStatus))
        {
            return View(bookAppointment);
        }
        else
            return RedirectToAction("guestsearch", "Home");
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return null;
    }
}

Answer 2

User decorate the Action result with HttpVerb (i.e POST) as under:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(Object obj)
{
  //Your code goes here...
}
