I have view which displays some data from model. I have submit button which onClick event should change model's value and I pass model's with different values but my values in TextBoxFor stay the same as they were on page load. How can I change them? That's how HTML helpers work and it is by design. They will first look in the POSTed data and after that in the model.

Good day! I use strategy to handle 404 errors like this: Error handling for ASP.NET MVC 2 and IIS 7.0 or this: How can I properly handle 404 in ASP.NET MVC?
