How can I access html elements in MVC

Blumonde

Hello,

Below is an example that was done through Asp.net code-behind. Does anyone know how we can accomplish the same task using MVC controller? Here is the link in case you are interested: https://www.mikesdotnetting.com/article/101/persisting-the-position-of-jquery-draggables-in-asp-net

public partial class PersistDraggable : Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Coordinates coords = new Coordinates();
DataTable dt = coords.GetSavedCoords(1);
foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
HtmlControl ctl = (HtmlControl)this.FindControl(row["element"].ToString());
if (ctl != null)
{
ctl.Style.Add("left", row["xPos"].ToString() + "px");
ctl.Style.Add("top", row["yPos"].ToString() + "px");
}
}
}
}

Thank you for reading this post.

Harish, thank you for the advice but that wasn't my goal. If you read the link I provided in my original post, I am trying to do the same thing the Author of the tutorial by retrieving the coordinates of a persistent panel from the database which is below:
foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
HtmlControl ctl = (HtmlControl)this.FindControl(row["element"].ToString());
if (ctl != null)
{
ctl.Style.Add("left", row["xPos"].ToString() + "px");   ctl.Style.Add("top", row["yPos"].ToString() + "px");
}
}
The problem is that the code above was written for web form and I don't know how to convert it so that it would work in Mvc controller action.

Hope that explains it.

In asp.net (MVC), code is devided into 3 different parts i.e. model, views and controller. here forget about model. we will focus on view and controller. your query is how to catch data comming from view in controller action methods. If I catch you correctly then pls go through below code

1. view page code (Login)
@using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Welcome", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.Label("Username")
@Html.TextBox("txtUserName") : user
