How to get a form value in another form value submission - asp.net-mvc

Question

I had username and password in first form and retrieve password in another form , in which i want userame entered in first form in submission of second form.
#model Network.Models.LoginDetail
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<p>
Please enter your user name and password. #Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register") if you don't have an account.
</p>
#using (Html.BeginForm("Index","Student",FormMethod.Post)) {
<div>
<fieldset>
<legend>Account Information</legend>
<div class="editor-label">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Username)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Username)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Username)
</div>
<div class="editor-label">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Password)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Password)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Password)
</div>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Log in" style="width: 200px"/>
</p>
#ViewBag.Message
</fieldset>
</div>
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("RetrievePassword","Student",FormMethod.Post)) {
<p>
Forgot password? <input type="submit" onclick="updateUsername();"value="Click Here" style="width: 150px"/> Entering your username to retrieve your password.
</p>
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Username)
}
How can we acheive this, i tried in javascript capturing of username in hiddenfield but not working.
Or can form within form be used to acheive this.
Please provide a solution.
Thanks,

Answer 1

At the post method of "Index" action in "Stundent" controller you will be able to get the value either in formcollection or in LoginDetail object form.
Example:
public ActionRestult Index(FormCollection FC)
{
string UserName = FC["Username"];
string Password = FC["Password"];
}
Or Alternatively
public ActionRestult Index(LoginDetail obj)
{
string UserName = obj.Username;
string Password = obj.Password;
}
This will fix your concern.
