FormCollection has a default binder associated with it which always initializes the collection and you should never get null. It is more likely that you have an empty collection when using Ajax.ActionLink in contrast to when using a form submit button. This is because the ActionLink method doesn't POST any form values when it performs the AJAX request. This post is the unswer to you question
