ASP .NET MVC RAZOR | Get value of @Html.EditorFor

Question

I'm trying to make a small table, which can set the amount of columns through an "input field". I generated the the input field by following code (+ button):

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Columns.Count, new { @class = "text-center control-form", @id = "countID" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Columns.Count)
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("CreateTable", "Home", new { count = VARIABLEHERE })'">Update</button>

I basically try to set the input of the @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Columns.Count .. as parameter of the function, executed by the button.
I tried using @Model.Columns.Count, but that's not working, because the count doesn't change through the input field.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Razor runs on the server. As soon as you see the page rendered, nothing will be updated anymore. You need JavaScript for what you want — Camilo Terevinto

Try put inside a form (using or not the html razor helper):

@using (Html.BeginForm("CreateTable", "Home", FormMethod.Post, null){ your code... }

Button should be of submit type..
