How can I retrieve a property value from modelstate in httppost action.

Below is the code, I used to retrive the hidden id field from modelstate. But is it not possible to have strongly typed version to get value. Like, if property name is modified, prompting a compile time error.

Could anyone please explain difference between "AttemptedValue" and "RawValue". 

 ModelState state;      
 if (ModelState.TryGetValue("id", out state))
 {
     string value = state.Value.AttemptedValue.ToString();
 }

Attempted value is used by the framework and it contains concatenated list of values. In my case, since it is id field, I am going ahead with attempted value. Below link has more information on this.

you can iterate the ModelStateDictionary object and through the keys(property name) on the dictionary get the value of the desired property or you can do something like ModelState["PropertyName"].Value
