MVC display data in view after clicking a row in gridView

Question

I have an Infragistics gridview in one of my views (ViewLeads). I have another view (updateLead) that has a bunch of textboxes. What I want is when I click one of the rows in the gridView (in the ViewLeads View) for it to display all the same data in the corresponding textboxes in the other view (updateLead) for that specific ID of the selected row. Right now when I click the name it just returns the empty view with no data. . . [HttpGet] public ActionResult UpdateLead() { LoginUser user = Session[User] as LoginUser; if (user != null) { return View(); } return RedirectToAction(Login Main); } I'm pretty new to MVC so I'm really stuck right now. Thank you!

try this @{ var grid = new WebGrid(Model canPage: true rowsPerPage:5 selectionFieldName: selectedRowajaxUpdateContainerId: gridContent); grid.Pager(WebGridPagerModes.NextPrevious);} @grid.GetHtml(tableStyle: webGrid headerStyle: header alternatingRowStyle: alt selectedRowStyle: selectedrow columns: grid.Columns( grid.Column(Location Codeformat: @ @item.LOCATION_CODE ) grid.Column(Edit format: @ Edit ) grid.Column(Delete format: @ Delete ) )) the controller should be like this public ActionResult Edit(int id = 0) { LOCATION_MASTER location = db.LOCATION_MASTER.Find(id); LOCATION_MASTER location_master = db.LOCATION_MASTER.Find(id); if (location_master == null) { return HttpNotFound(); } return View(location_master); }

Let me see if I can make it more clear of what im looking for. I have a view 'UpdateLead' on the GET I have.. [HttpGet] public ActionResult UpdateLead() { LoginUser user = Session[User] as LoginUser; if (user != null) { BusinessLead bl = new BusinessLead(); bl.Name = some stuff; return View(bl1); } return RedirectToAction(Login Main); } SO when I see the View the 'name' field has text some stuff.. but what i want is basically to get that name information from a gridview that is on another view called 'ViewLeads'. I'm totally lost right now.

Basically I just want to populate the text fields in my other view with the same data that is being returned in the grid view. So let's say the name column in the gridview is a hyperlink...when you click it I want that users information to be displayed in the other view where is has the empty data. Right now the view looks like @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name new { @class = form-control }) @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email new { @class = form-control })....etc So shouldt I be able to write something like this in my controller [Http Get] return view(name of viewModel) ?
