I'm and MVC1 programmer, new to the MVC2.
The data will not persist to the database in an edit scenario. Create works fine.
Controller:
//
// POST: /Attendee/Edit/5
[Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Edit(Attendee attendee)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
UpdateModel(attendee, "Attendee");
repository.Save();
return RedirectToAction("Details", attendee);
}
else
{
return View(attendee);
}
}
Model:
[MetadataType(typeof(Attendee_Validation))]
public partial class Attendee
{
}
public class Attendee_Validation
{
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public int attendee_id { get; set; }
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public int attendee_pin { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "* required")]
[StringLength(50, ErrorMessage = "* Must be under 50 characters")]
public string attendee_fname { get; set; }
[StringLength(50, ErrorMessage = "* Must be under 50 characters")]
public string attendee_mname { get; set; }
}
I tried to add [Bind(Exclude="attendee_id")] above the Class declaration, but then the value of the attendee_id attribute is set to '0'.
View (Strongly-Typed):
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
...
<%=Html.Hidden("attendee_id", Model.attendee_id) %>
...
<%=Html.SubmitButton("btnSubmit", "Save") %>
<% } %>
Basically, the repository.Save(); function seems to do nothing. I imagine it has something to do with a primary key constraint violation. But I'm not getting any errors from SQL Server. The application appears to runs fine, but the data is never persisted to the Database.
