Postback handling options in ASP.NET MVC

I am currently handling callbacks in ASP.NET MVC - this is to capture input variables using:

string username = "";

if (null != Request["username"])
     username = Request["username"].ToString();

Then I would run a regex on the variable to see if it is valid.

Is there any other way to do this?

ASP.NET MVC automatically maps Request-To-Object through ModelBinders . An older article is here in the "Improving Post Forms and Models" section and a video here .

You can handle form inputs in your action like this:

public ActionResult Create(string username)
{
  // use
}

but you need to set your route:



routes.MapRoute(
                "Default",                                              // Route name
                "Create/{username}",                           // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "YourController", action = "Create", username = "" }  // Parameter defaults
            );

Or you can use ModelBinders
