Call a C# function using HTML onclick button

I am working with asp.net(C#). I created a razor page and want to call a function in C# using the html button click. The function performs a matching algorithm similar to the stable marriage problem. For example, when the Admin clicks on button "Button1", the function matching() in C# has to be called, which should execute the statements within the function and return the matched list in the end. I have seen some generic answers in the form but I need something more specific. Thanks in advance

As mentioned, this is a matching algorithm- to perform a two-sided matching with one sided preference. I have already tried the html "Button1_Click" solution. this is very generic and doesn't go with my code.

this is what I have done so far:

html code:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <button type="submit" id="cmdAction" text="Button1" runat="server">
        Button1
    </button>
</form>

C# code:

public ActionResult OnGet()
{
if (NTUser.Role != Role.Admin)
{return RedirectToPage("/Denied");}
matching();
return RedirectToPage();
}    
public void matching()
{//body}

The button I am using on the html side is "Match and Show the result"

I expect the output to be a list like an excel sheet that can be edited/deleted if need be.

Edit: I would also appreciate if someone has an idea how to do it with an enum and/or bool

You can call one method where you check role and redirect on another action or just call a private method.

public ActionResult OnGet()
{
     if (NTUser.Role != Role.Admin)
     {
        return RedirectToPage("/Denied");
     }
     else
     {
        return RedirectToAction(Matching);
     }
      ...other if with return
}

public ActionResult Matching()
{
   //dosomething
}

view

if you need post then use it

@using (Html.BeginForm("OnGet", "YourControllerName", FormMethod.Post))
{
    <button type="submit" id="cmdAction" runat="server">
        Match and Show the result
    </button>
}

if you need just get

@Html.ActionLink("Match and Show the result", "OnGet", "YourControllerName") //without params

dont forget add attribute [HttpPost] or [HttpGet](get just for better readability code)

There are a lot of ways to do this, since you'ver mentioned razor pages so i'll recommend go through this guide

Simply use razor syntax like this

@using (Html.BeginForm("ActionName", "ControllerName", FormMethod.Post)) { 
   <input type="submit" value="Match" />
}

Try this:

<a href="@Url.Action("OnGet", "ControllerName"> Display Text</a>
