error while posting pagedlist from view to the controller - asp.net-mvc

Question

I've an indexed page in MVC with data that displays in a table format from the database and using paging. I want to edit only one column of the table. Can I post the paging list to the controller for editing. If so how?
I'm able to edit with normal list getting error while passing PagedList
--- this is my index page----
#model PagedList.IPagedList<emp_prac.Models.Employee>
#using PagedList.Mvc;
#*#model List<emp_prac.Models.Employee>*#
#using (Html.BeginForm("UpdateOrder", "Employee", FormMethod.Post))
{
Html.AntiForgeryToken();
Html.EditorForModel();
ViewBag.Title = "Employee Details";
<h2>Employee Details</h2>
<p>
#Html.ActionLink("Create New", "InsertEmployee")
</p>
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Edit</th>
<th>Delete</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Phone No</th>
<th>Salary</th>
<th>Joining Date</th>
<th>PDF</th>
<th>Status</th>
<th>Order</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
<tr>
<td>#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "EditEmployee", new { id = Model[i].emp_id }) </td>
<td>#Html.ActionLink("Delete", "DeleteEmployee", new { id = Model[i].emp_id }, new { onclick = "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?');", #class = "btn-btn-default" }) </td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(model => model[i].emp_name)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(model => model[i].emp_email)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(model => model[i].emp_phone_no)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(model => model[i].emp_salary)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(model => model[i].emp_joining_date)</td>
<td>#Html.ActionLink("PDF", "UploadPdf", new { id = Model[i].emp_id }) </td>
<td>#(Html.DisplayFor(model => model[i].emp_status).ToString() == "1" ? "Active" : "Inactive")</td>
<td>#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model[i].emp_order, new { style = "width: 35px" })</td>
<td>#Html.HiddenFor(model => model[i].emp_id)</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
<button type="submit" value="Order" onclick="location.href='#Url.Action("UpdateOrder","Employee")'">Order</button>
}
<br />
Page #(Model.PageCount < Model.PageNumber ? 0 : Model.PageNumber) of #Model.PageCount
#Html.PagedListPager(Model, page => Url.Action("Index", new { page }))`
---This is my controller action method---
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UpdateOrder(PagedList<Employee> obj_view)
{
foreach (var abc in obj_view)
{
Employee obj = new Employee();
obj.emp_order = abc.emp_order;
obj.emp_id = abc.emp_id;
obj.Mode = "O";
Employee.InsertUpdateEmployee(obj);
}
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

I looked deeply into your code , as per my point of view, below line may cause the error.
**<button type="submit" value="Order" onclick="location.href='#Url.Action("UpdateOrder","Employee")'">Order</button>
}**
Reason:
When you post the data through the form post, you no need to specify the onclick in the submit button
Solution:
Just replace the above line with simple submit button like this
**<input type="submit" value="Order" class="btn btn-default" />**
And see in the button click event whether you get the data or not using breakpoint.
Hope you will surely get the data now , kindly let me know your thoughts or feedbacks
