Action method

[HttpPost]

            var elements = from element in db.USERS
                           where element.UserType == type
                           select element;
            if (elements == null)
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            else
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Place/Index");
            }
        }

Answer 2

Try This

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<h2>Index</h2>
<% Html.BeginForm("Search", "Employee");%>
<table>
   <tr>
    <td>
        Name:
    </td>
    <td>
        <input type="text" id="SearchText" name="SearchText" style="width: 325px" />
    </td>
    <td> 
    </td>
    <td>
        <input type="submit" id="Search" value="Search" />
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
<% Html.EndForm();%>

your action goes like this...

public ActionResult Search(string searchText)
{ 
 }

Hope it helps you

MVC will map your names of inputs to parameters of your method.

However, your current input doesn't specify a name:

<input type="text" id="txtUserName"/>

So add that:

<input type="text" name="type" id="txtUserName"/>

And it will map to the parameter. And take away the anonymous object from the BeginForm since that value will be provided by the input field, so doen't need to be in the form 's action.

I just update your code try this

 @using (Html.BeginForm("checkUserType", "Place"))
    {
        <div id="login">
            <div class="userNameLabel">
                UserName</div>
            <div class="userNameField">
                <input type="text" id="txtUserName" name="UserName" /><span><input type="submit" value="ok" id="ok" /></span></div>
        </div>
    }

and controller

 public ActionResult checkUserType(string UserName)
        {
 string _data = UserName;


        }
