Hi Venkatesh,
As your HTML is coming from text file. First edit your text file where HTML is stored like below
<form action="/action_page.php">
<label for="fname">First name:label>
<input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="{fname}"><br><br>
<label for="lname">Last name:label>
<input type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="{lname}"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
form>
now read the text file and store the data in string like below.
string HTMLData = File.ReadAllText("Full path to text file").ToString();
now add below code to set the values in HTML.
EmployeeModel emp=new EmployeeModel{
  fname = "csharp",
  lname = "corner"
}

// Assigning text box value

HTMLData = HTMLData.Replace("{fname}",emp.fname);
HTMLData = HTMLData.Replace("{lname}",emp.lname);

ViewBag.htmlContent=HTMLData;

Hope this helps

Hi,
As you are doing with viewBag .Take your data in viewBag firstName and LastName in controller
Like this:
ViewBag.firstName = EmployeeModel.fname;
ViewBag.lastName = EmployeeModel.lname;
Bind it in View like this:
"text" id="fname" name="fname" value="@ViewBag.firstName" >
"text" id="fname" name="fname" value="@ViewBag.lastName" >
