Just as an addition to the other answers, here is the razor engine syntax:

<input type="button" value="Some text" onclick="@("window.location.href='" + @Url.Action("actionName", "controllerName") + "'");" />

or

window.location.href = '@Url.Action("actionName", "controllerName")';

It has been my experience that ASP MVC really does not like traditional use of button so much   Instead I use       lt input type  button  class  addYourCSSClassHere  value  WordsOnButton  onclick  window location    Url Action   ActionInControllerHere    ControllerNameHere       gt

You can easily wrap your button tag with  tag Using Url Action   HTML Helper this will get to navigate to one page to another    lt a href   Url Action  YourAction    YourController    gt       lt input type  button  value  Dummy Button    gt   lt  a gt    If you want to navigate with javascript onclick   function then use   lt input type  button  value  Dummy Button  onclick  window location     Url Action  YourAction    YourController        gt

If  like me  you don t like to rely on JavaScript for links on buttons  You can also use a anchor and style it like your buttons using CSS    lt a href   Controller View  class  Button  gt Text lt  a gt

RIGHT ANSWER HERE  Answers above are correct  for some of them  but let s make this simple -- with one tag   I prefer to use input tags  but you can use a button tag  Here s what your solution should look like using HTML    lt  input type  button  class  btn btn-info  onclick  window location href     Url Action  Index    ReviewPendingApprovals   routeValues  null     gt     can omit or modify routeValues to your liking

It depends on what you mean by button  If it is a link    lt    Html ActionLink  some text    actionName    controllerName     gt    For posting you could use a form    lt   using Html BeginForm  actionName    controllerName        gt       lt input type  submit  value  Some text    gt   lt       gt    And finally if you have a button    lt input type  button  value  Some text  onclick  window location href   lt    Url Action  actionName    controllerName     gt       gt
