choosing between 2 actions in one controller with single view by checkbox - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

I got 2 actions in my controller, I want to choose which action to execute by checkbox in my razor view.
here is my controller:
public ActionResult Person(string searchString)
{
var person = from p in db.Persons
select p;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(searchString))
{
person = person.Where(oo => oo.Name.ToUpper() == searchString);
}
return View(person);
}
public ActionResult Job(string jobString)
{
var jobs = from j in db.Jobs
select j;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(jobString))
{
jobs = jobs.Where(oo => oo.Name.ToUpper() == jobString);
}
return View(jobs);
}
when I check a case I would like to execute the query search for this specific case
here is my view:
<div>
<form method="POST">
<div>
<input type="checkbox" name="Person" value="Person" style="margin-left: 54px"/>Person
</div>
<div class="Job">
<input type="checkbox" name="Job" value="Job" />Job
</div>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<p>
<input type="text" name="SearchString" style="margin-left: 90px;" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</p>
}
</form>

Answer 1

Post to a single action method, then call one of your existing methods depending on the value of the checkbox.
public ActionResult Search(bool isJobSearch, string searchString)
{
if (isJobSearch)
{
return Job(searchString);
}
else
{
return Person(searchString);
}
}
private ActionResult Person(string searchString)
{
// As your example
}
private ActionResult Job(string jobString)
{
// As your example
}

I am just correcting your html
Your html contains two form tags. I am not sure about the usage of form with in form tags. html.beginform will create internally another form tag when gets executed.So better one form tag will contain all elements to make a post.
#using (Html.BeginForm("Search","Home"))
{
<div>
<input type="checkbox" name="Person" value="Person" style="margin-left: 54px"/>Person
</div>
<div class="Job">
<input type="checkbox" name="Job" value="Job" />Job
</div>
<p>
<input type="text" name="SearchString" style="margin-left: 90px;" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</p>
}
}
in controller
public ActionResult Search(FormCollection form)
{
//do some condition based on your needs
if(form["SearchString"]=="Job")
return RedirectToAction("Job");
else
return RedirectToAction("Person");
}
public ActionResult Person()
{
}
public ActionResult Job()
{
}
