Try Web Routing. Use two Action Methods [get] and [post] for Edit, so you go to POST method of Edit when you submit the form OR have another method and redirect to it from your button.

Your edit action can receive the form fields as "FormCollection" and access them as follows:

C#

[HttpPost]
       public ActionResult EditEmployee(FormCollection order)
       {
           string FirstName = Convert.ToString(order["FirstName"]); //access your form items like this
}

The best way is to have strongly typed model such that you have have your code as follows:

C#

[HttpPost]
       public ActionResult EditEmployee(Order order)
       {
           string FirstName = Order.FirstName; //access your form items like this
}

In order to have your strongly typed object you have to change your edit action as follows:

C#

public ActionResult EditEmployee(int id = 0)
{
return View(new List<order>(db.Employees.Where(o => o.EmployeeID == id).ToList()));
}
</order>
