I need to add a small form with a textfield for email and login button, in the site header in the _Root.cshtml.

I tried to post from it to an action defined in the StartPageController, but it doesn't work, I get 404. What the best way to implement this?

using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "StartPageController", FormMethod.Post))
{
    <input required="required" type="text" id="loginHint" name="loginHint" value="" placeholder="Enter email">
    <button id="loginBtn" class="btn" type="submit">Login</button>
}

I think "StartPage" instead of "StartPageController"...?

using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "StartPage", FormMethod.Post))

Hi,

Add Route using the initialization module and give it a try

[InitializableModule]
    [ModuleDependency(typeof(EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule))]
    public class MVCRoutesInitializationModule : IInitializableModule
    {
        public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {
            MapRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }

        private void MapRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.MapRoute(null, "login", new { controller = "StartPage", action = "Login" });
        }

        public void Uninitialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {
            //Add uninitialization logic
        }
    }
