ASP.NET Bind to IEnumerable
- by JFoulkes
Hi,
I'm passing a the type IEnumerable to my view, and for each item I output a html.textbox to enter the details into.
When I post this back to my controller, the collection is empty and I can't see why.
public class Item
{
public Order Order { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public double Price { get; set; }
}
My Get method:
public ActionResult AddItems(Order order)
{
Item itemOne = new Item
{
Order = order
};
Item itemTwo = new Item
{
Order = order,
};
IList<Item> items = new List<Item> { itemOne, itemTwo };
return View(items);
}
The View:
<% int i = 0; foreach (var item in Model)
{ %>
<p>
<label for="Title">Item Title:</label>
<%= Html.TextBox("items[" + i + "].Title") %>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("items[" + i + "].Title", "*")%>
</p>
<p>
<label for="Price">Item Price:</label>
<%= Html.TextBox("items[" + i + "].Price") %>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("items[" + i + "].Price", "*")%>
</p>
<% i++;
} %>
The POST method:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult AddItems(IEnumerable<Item> items)
{
try
{
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
At the moment i just have a breakpoint on the post method to check what i'm gettin back.
