title: ASP.Net MVC How to pass data from view to controller
body: <p>I am completely new to ASP.Net and I am sure this is a very basic question 
  I have a View in which there is a link to generate report but to be able to generate report I must ask the user to provide a suitable text name as well.</p>
  
  <p>So far I have been able to pass data from server to view using Models passed from my controller to view, but I am not sure how to Pass data from view to my controller.</p>
  
  <p>I just need to pass a string from view to controller in this case.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice with example will be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>I understand I have to post the data back to server but how does that realize in the form of razorhtml code and controller?</p>
