This elegant solution works for number of submit buttons:

@Html.Begin()
{
  // Html code here
  <input type="submit" name="command" value="submit1" />
  <input type="submit" name="command" value="submit2" />

}

And in your controllers' action method accept it as a parameter.

public ActionResult Create(Employee model, string command)
{
    if(command.Equals("submit1"))
    {
      // Call action here...
    }
    else
    {
      // Call another action here...
    }
}

You could use normal buttons non submit   Use javascript to rewrite  at an  onclick  event  the form s  action  attribute to something you want and then submit it  Generate the button using a custom helper create a file  Helper cshtml  inside the App Code folder  at the root of your project      helper SubmitButton string text  string controller string action           var uh   new System Web Mvc UrlHelper Context Request RequestContext       string url    uh Action action  controller  null           lt input type button  onclick                                           function e                                                                                                          e  parent   attr  action     url      rewrite action url                                                      create a submit button to be clicked and removed  so that onsubmit is triggered                                                    var form   document getElementById   e  parent   attr  id                                                        var button   form ownerDocument createElement  input                                                       button style display    none                                                      button type    submit                                                      form appendChild button  click                                                        form removeChild button                                                                                                             this   value   text   gt      And then use it as    Helpers SubmitButton  Text for 1st button   ControllerForButton1   ActionForButton1    Helpers SubmitButton  Text for 2nd button   ControllerForButton2   ActionForButton2         Inside your form

You could also try this    lt input type  submit  name  submitbutton1  value  submit1    gt   lt input type  submit  name  submitbutton2  value  submit2    gt    Then in your default function you call the functions you want   if  Request Form  submitbutton1      null           Code for function 1   else if Request Form  submitButton2      null            code for function 2

As well as  Pablo s answer  for newer versions you can also use the asp-page-handler tag helper   In the page    lt button asp-page-handler  Action1  type  submit  gt Action 1 lt  button gt   lt button asp-page-handler  Action2  type  submit  gt Action 2 lt  button gt    then in the controller       public async Task OnPostAction1Async             public async Task OnPostAction2Async

The cleanest solution I ve found is as follows   This example is to perform two very different actions  the basic premise is to use the  value to pass data to the action   In your view    using  Html BeginForm  DliAction    Dli   FormMethod Post  new   id    mainForm            if  isOnDli                 lt button name  removeDli  value   result WeNo  gt Remove From DLI lt  button gt            else                lt button name  performDli  value   result WeNo  gt Perform DLI lt  button gt            Then in your action       public ActionResult DliAction string removeDli  string performDli                if  string IsNullOrEmpty performDli                                               else if  string IsNullOrEmpty removeDli                                                return View            This code should be easy to alter in order to achieve variations along the theme  e g  change the button s name to be the same  then you only need one parameter on the action etc  as can be seen below   In your view    using  Html BeginForm  DliAction    Dli   FormMethod Post  new   id    mainForm                  lt button name  weNo  value   result WeNo  gt Process This WeNo lt  button gt            lt button name  weNo  value   result WeNo  gt Process A Different WeNo This Item lt  button gt      Then in your action       public ActionResult DliAction string weNo                   Process the weNo             return View
