I think this will give you what you're looking for: Multiple buttons

You basically wrap each input in its own BeginForm/EndForm and assign it to seperate action methods.

Why do you not get them to POST to different controller methods?

If they do different things that would seemt o seperate concern better

You can do a simple test for the button name since only one submit button will get posted at a time.

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult MyForm (FormCollection form)
{
  bool isButton1 = form.AllKeys.Contains ("Button1");
  bool isbutton2 = form.AllKeys.Contains ("Button2");

  ...
}
