Better assign session value in some variable then bind to textbox. In your case use this var myvalue=session[ "Tel" ]; // can validate for null value as well @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Property, myvalue.name , new { @ class = "form-control" }) However, best way to bind in model as shown: public ActionResult ExampleAction() { // Build an example model var model = new YourModel(); // Ensure your Session exists if (Session[ "Tel" ] != null ) { // Attempt to cast your Session as the appropriate type var yourSessionObject = Session[ "Tel" ] as YourObjectType; // If that worked, then grab your property if (yourSessionObject != null ) { model.Property = yourSessionObject.YourProperty; } } // Pass the model to the View return View(model); } And page @model YourApplication.Models.YourModel @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Property, new { @ class = "form-control" }) Regards Rijwan

I will suggest you to create ViewModel but as per your question your solution is @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Tel, new {@value = Session[ "Tel" ]+Request.Form[ "Tel" ], @ class = "form-control" })
