asp.net request.form

Question

public ActionResult DisplayCustomer()
{
    Customer objCustomer = new Customer();

    objCustomer.Id = Convert.ToInt16(Request.Form["Customerid"]);
    objCustomer.CustomerCode = Request.Form["code"];
    objCustomer.Amount = Convert.ToDouble(Request.Form["amount"]);
    return View(objCustomer);
}

This is my action in controller(MVC 2 aspx):

<form action="DisplayCustomer" method="post">
    Customer id:-
    <input type="text" id="Customerid" /><br />
    Customer Code:-
    <input type="text" id="code" /><br />
    Customer amount:-
    <input type="text" id="amount" /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="click here" />
</form>

This is the view. When someone hit the submit button it is directed to a new page:

<div>
   <b> ID</b> <%= Model.Id %><br />
   <b> Code </b><%=Model.CustomerCode %><br />
   <b> Amount</b> <%=Model.Amount %><br />
</div>

I always get 0 in Id and Amount while blank in CustomerCode.

Any clue? Why this is happening? What is wrong?

Solution

Your issue here is that you set the id, and not the name. Set the name to get the post back value. Eg:

<input type="text" name="Customerid" />

@shaleen You are welcome. I do not know if you have made a design error here as Slaks say, because I am not work with mvc. I only know that this is the reason that you not get the form values as I see your code.
