In MVC we use different controls for different scenarios. For the link button we need to use the control @Html.ActionLink.

This is mainly used to navigate from one section to another section and it is also used to transfer model values from view to the action.

 [HttpGet]
        public ActionResult _Edit(int id = 0)
        {

            EmpMod = new EmployeeModel();
            EmpMod.EmpId = id;
            EmpRep = new EmployeeRepository();
            EmpMod = EmpRep.EditDetails(EmpMod);
            return PartialView("_Edit", EmpMod);

        }

This will get the values into the model and display it while creating its view we will submit the data after editing into the database.

        @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
