How do you pass post form variables in ASP.NET C#/Razor?
<p>I'm new to C#/Razor and don't know how to pass form data using the post method. Here's what I've tried:</p>

<p>In login.cshtml: </p>

<pre><code>string username = Request.Form["username"];
string password = Request.Form["password"];
</code></pre>

<p>And</p>

<pre><code>string username = Request.Form.Get("username");
string password = Request.Form.Get("password");
</code></pre>

<p>In _AppStart.cshtml, I tried:</p>

<pre><code>AppState["username"] = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["username"];
AppState["password"] = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["password"];
</code></pre>

<p>All return nothing.</p>

<p>Here's the form elements in login.cshtml:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;form action="index.cshtml" method="post" data-ajax="false"&gt;
    &lt;input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username"&gt;
    &lt;input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password"&gt;
    &lt;button type="submit"&gt;Login&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
</code></pre>
