MVC Capture the selected item id clicked by the user

First time working with MVC. I've made good progress but I need to know how to handle the issue of capturing a specific row item the user clicked. The attached EESelected Item_Problem Pic shows the screen. Obviously there are more items on the screen but for simplicity I showed just one to get the point across. When the user clicks the 'Execute' it fires the action 'Execute', as seen in the attached Code_Debug_Pic. I need this action to contain iether the specific item and id the user clicked. from here I need to look up corosponding records related to the item id. the issue is how do I capture the item info from the screen when the user clicks it?

If you need more info let me know.

Great link, thanks. I've got a few things done, but being green with html and views, I now need to pass the selected item to the action link. here's the code.

WebGrid grid = new WebGrid(Model.Where(d => d.Disc_Name == discName),selectionFieldName: "selectedRow");

<pre>@grid.GetHtml(

fillEmptyRows: false,

alternatingRowStyle: "alternative-row",

headerStyle: "grid-header",

footerStyle: "foot-grid",

mode: WebGridPagerModes.All,

firstText: "<< First",

previousText: "< Previous", nextText: "Next >",

lastText: "Last >>",

columns: new[] {

grid.Column("Disc_Name",header:"",canSort:false),
grid.Column("Software", canSort:false),
grid.Column(

"",

header: "Action",

format: @<text>

@Html.ActionLink("Execute", "Execute")
@Html.ActionLink("Execute", "Execute", grid.selectedrow)

</text>

)

})

You'll notice I've added the grid.selectedrow to the ActionLink above. I have no idea if this is correct or how it should be done.
