I have a razor view that I added a delete button to inside of an 'if' statement and when the view is rendered in the browser it is displaying "System.Web.Mvc.Html.MvcForm" next to the delete button.
How do I get rid of it?
Here is the code:
<div id="deletestatusupdate">
@if (update.User.UserName.Equals(User.Identity.Name, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
@Html.BeginForm("deleteupdate", "home")
@Html.Hidden("returnUrl", Request.Url.ToString())
<button name="id" value="@update.StatusUpdateId">Delete</button>
}
</div>
Here is how it shows up in the rendered Razor View:
System.Web.Mvc.Html.MvcForm [Delete Button]
pretend that [delete button] is a an actual button, didn't feel like taking a screen shot.
Thank you for your help.
Please use @using instead of using the issue will resolved I am using MVC 4
The recommended way to generate a form is the following:
Alternatively you could do this:
The reason why your original approach did not work is because
BeginForm()
writes directly to the output.Get right for this we can use them
