Using Html.BeginForm to post to the current controller

Question

I have a partial that is used in several views. The partial contains forms. The action when a form is submited is allways the same, but the controller thats contains the act

Answer 1

ViewContext's RouteData property contains names of current controller and action. You could use them like this:

Html.BeginForm("ActOnChoosenPerson", ViewContext.RouteData.
    GetRequiredString("controller"))

Answer 2

The easiest way to do this would be to simply call BeginForm() with no parameters.

Answer 3

This code will always give your current controller

<%=( Url.RequestContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("Controller")) %>

Obviously you can use it without the <%= like this

Html.BeginForm(
  Url.RequestContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("Controller")) , 
  "ActOnChoosenPerson") 

It looks more clunky but your model should not need to know what controller is calling it.
