按下按钮即可调用ActionResult方法

Question

I'm trying to call an ActionResult method from a web page form but I can't seem get the two items to connect.

The desired result is for the page to refresh and filter the model to display the required results.

Method in serversController.cs

The internal code works as intended when placed in ActionResult Index

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult activeServers()
{
    // load the servers into local variable
    var servers = from s in db.Servers
                  select s;

    // filter out the archived servers
    servers = servers.Where(s => s.archive.Equals(0));

    return View(servers.ToList());
}

Button making the call

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{ 
    <button name="activeServers" type="submit" value="activeServers" class="btn btn-default">Active</button>
}

Thanks is advance

Try to specify the action method, controller name ( without the controller suffix ) and the http method (it defaults to GET) in the BeginForm :

@using (Html.BeginForm("activeServers", "Servers", FormMethod.POST))
{ 
    <button name="activeServers" type="submit" value="activeServers" class="btn btn-default">Active</button>
}
