Cannot detect which Submit Button is pressed

Question

I have two input type submit on my view.

1. <input type="submit" name="submitbutton1" value="Save">

2.<input type="submit" name="submitbutton2" value="Process">

My view is Manage.vbhtml and in that view i have a form with the above two submit buttons.

My controller is StaffController and 'Function Manage(item as staff,submitbutton1 as string,submitbutton2 as string) as ActionResult' is associated with the above view. When i click any of the two submit buttons i should be getting the value of that button in the string parameter, but it's giving me nothing. Please help me, i want to detect which submit button was pressed. The mentioned actionresult has <HttpPost> _ in the attribute.

I have followed as per this link but still no result.

You can check it from FormCollection:

in Html:

<input type="submit" name="submitbutton" value="Save">
<input type="submit" name="submitbutton" value="Process">

and in Action:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Manage()
{

   var temp = Request.Form["submitbutton"].ToString();

   if(temp == "Save")
   {
     // save clicked
   }
   if(temp == "Process")
   {
     // Process clicked
   }

    return View();

}

or:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Manage(FormCollection form)
{

   var temp = form["submitbutton"].ToString();

   if(temp == "Save")
   {
     // save clicked
   }
   if(temp == "Process")
   {
     // Process clicked
   }

    return View();

}
