I am trying to submit a form that incorporates an #Html.EditorFor element. If I remove the EditorFor element, my POST controller argument passes data correctly, but once implemented, my entire model argument shows as null in the POST controller.
Here's the model I'm trying to pass:
public class Checkout
{
public int CheckoutID { get; set; }
public string Requestor { get; set; }
public DateTime? DateRequested { get; set; }
public List<CheckoutReceiver> Receivers { get; set; }
}
The form element on page:
#model PRI.Models.Checkout
#using (Html.BeginForm("CreateCheckout", "API/CheckoutRequest", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "pri-form" }))
{
<div id="checkout-request">
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
<div id="checkout-info" class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CheckoutID)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Receivers)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<input id="create-checkout-submit" type="submit" value="Confirm transfer" class="btn btn-danger right" style="margin: 10px;" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
If I remove the #Html.EditorFor(m => m.Receivers), and add data to the #Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CheckoutID) then that passes correctly to my Post Controller, so obviously my EditorFor is messing things up:
Here's the POST controller (i put a breakpoint right after it enters this so I can check the checkout argument):
[System.Web.Http.HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
[System.Web.Http.ActionName("CreateCheckout")]
public Checkout Create(Checkout checkout)
{
var request = new Checkout();
return request;
}
Here's my CheckoutReceiver Editor template (removed some input elements for brevity):
#model PRI.Models.CheckoutReceiver
#using (Html.BeginCollectionItem("Receivers"))
{
<div class="form-horizontal">
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.ID)
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.CheckoutID)
<h4 class="contact-header">#Model.ContactType</h4>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-5">
<span class="form-header">Last Name</span>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.LastName, new { #class = "box-customer form-control ignore", placeholder = "Last name" })
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<span class="form-header">First Name</span>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.FirstName, new { #class = "form-control ignore", placeholder = "First name" })
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<span class="form-header">Middle Initial</span>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.MiddleInitial, new { #class = "form-control ignore", placeholder = "M.I." })
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
Where am I going wrong, and why is my EditorFor causing my Checkout POST argument to be null on submit?
Thanks!
Maybe you should check this question. You should add an editor for an
IEnumerable<CheckoutReceiver> instead of an editor for CheckoutReceiver.

I'm trying to add a survey feature to my ASP.NET MVC 5 web application so that users can create surveys with custom questions to send out to other users. The problem is, I'm having trouble allowing users to add questions to the survey on the Create Survey view.
I've seen ways to do this on the "Edit" View, when an instance of the model has already been created, but I want the user to be able to create questions on the survey before adding the survey to the database.
This is my Survey Model:
public class Survey
{
public int SurveyId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Author { get; set; }
public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }
public List<Question> Questions { get; set; }
public List<Response> Responses { get; set; }
}
and this is my Question model:
public class Question
{
public int QuestionId { get; set; }
public int SurveyId { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Body { get; set; }
public QuestionType QuestionType { get; set; }
public DateTime CreatedOn { get; set; }
public DateTime LastModified { get; set; }
public List<Answer> Answers { get; set; }
}
Honestly, the code I have right now in Create.cshtml is garbage because I don't really know where to start but here it is anyways:
<h2>Create</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">

What I want is for the user to be able to click the "Add Question" button, have the modal with the question fields pop up, and then for the user to be able to click "save" and have the modal exit and the new question appear in the table. Right now, I'm getting the error that the object reference is not set to an instance of the object, which makes perfect sense because the Survey object hasn't been created yet, but I'm unsure of how to do this differently. (Without the table, the modal view pops up and everything but no questions are added).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
You could update the table, when saving the modal popup by combining AJAX and Partial Views (called partials from here on).
The table that holds your question data could sit in a partial with its own view model that takes in the questions you want to render. You can keep the markup as is.
On your page, where the table is now, replace that with a containing div that has the partial inside.
When you save the modal that adds a new question, you could use an AJAX call (trigger on click) to hit your Controller, save the new question record (with whatever validation you need) and return the table partial with a new view model, populated with the questions in your DB (which would include the new you just saved).
In the success callback of the AJAX call, populate the container div with the new partial and view model, then close the popup. The page will show a new question in the table without having go through a whole page cycle.
i am using viewModel in text fields but the name of the model fields is not actual in browser viewsource. in browser viewsource it is showing model field name with viewmodel name like name="ResetPasswordModel.NewPassword" and also field id is showing like name so how i can fix this . i have added browser viewsource code and actual code Please review it. i hope you understand my question thanks.
ViewModel
public class ProductViewModel
{
public User UserDetails { get; set; }
public ResetPasswordModel ResetPasswordModel { get; set; }
}
public class ResetPasswordModel
{
public string CurrentPassword{ get; set; }
public string NewPassword { get; set; }
}

#model ProjectName.Models.ProductViewModel
#using (Html.BeginForm("ActionName", "Controller", FormMethod.Post))

#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })

</div>
</div>
}
Browser ViewSource
you can see their it is not showing model fields names right
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Current Password</label>
<input class="form-control" name="ResetPasswordModel.CurrentPassword" placeholder="Current Password" data-val="true" data-val-required="The Current Password field is required." id="ResetPasswordModel_CurrentPassword" type="text" value="" />
<span class="field-validation-valid text-danger" data-valmsg-for="ResetPasswordModel.CurrentPassword" data-valmsg-replace="true"></span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">New Password</label>
<input class="form-control" name="ResetPasswordModel.NewPassword"
placeholder="New Password" id="ResetPasswordModel_NewPassword" type="text" data-val="true" data-val-maxlength="Maxmimum 40 characters allowed" data-val-maxlength-max="40" data-val-minlength="Minimum 8 characters required for password" data-val-minlength-min="8" data-val-required="The Password field is required" value="" />
<span class="field-validation-valid text-danger" data-valmsg-for="ResetPasswordModel.NewPassword" data-valmsg-replace="true"></span>
</div>
</div>
Controller
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult ActionName(ResetPasswordModel ResetPass)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
}
return View();
}
The problem is, in your View your model is: ProductViewModel, but in your controller, you are expecting: ResetPasswordModel.
This is not right, either change the controller to accept: ProductViewModel
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult ActionName(ProductViewModel productViewModel)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
}
return View();
}
In this case, this the input with name=ResetPasswordModel.NewPassword would be correctly bound to your model.
Or change the Model in your view:
#model ResetPasswordModel
#using (Html.BeginForm("ActionName", "Controller", FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.UserDetails.UserID)
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Current Password</label>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.CurrentPassword, new { #class = "form-control", placeholder = "Current Password" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CurrentPassword, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">New Password</label>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.NewPassword, new { #class = "form-control", placeholder = "New Password" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.NewPassword, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
In this case the input name would be: NewPassword
you can set name property like this:
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ResetPasswordModel.NewPassword, new { #class = "form-control", placeholder = "New Password" , Name="NewPassword"})
I am storing a name and address in session in a static session class. When a customer pulls up the payment screen, I prefill the form with the name and address. If customer A pulls up the credit card screen and then customer B pulls up the same screen, customer B has the name and address of customer A.
I'm thinking this is happening due to a 'static' session class? If this is the case, how do I avoid this?
Here is my MySession class:
public static class MySession
{
public static string BranchNumber { set; get; }
public static string AccountNumber { set; get; }
public static string Name { set; get; }
public static string CustomerEmail { get; set; }
public static string Street { get; set; }
public static string Zip { get; set; }
public static string Zip4 { get; set; }
}
And my form:
#model SssMobileIInquiry.Models.HomeModels.CreditCard
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Credit Card Payment";
}
<div class="container">
#using (Html.BeginForm("SubmitCreditCardCharge", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
<h4>Credit Card Payment</h4>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3">

</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 focus">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.NameOnCard, new { #class = "form-control" })

</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3">

<div class="col-sm-9">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Street, new { #class = "form-control" })

</div>
<div class="col-sm-9">

</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3">

</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 datefieldsmall">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.ExpirationDateMonth, new { #class = "form-control", #maxlength = "2", #placeholder = "MM" })
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 datefieldsmall">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.ExpirationDateYear, new { #class = "form-control", #maxlength = "2", #placeholder = "YY" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3">
CVV Number
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.PinNumber, new { #class = "form-control", #maxlength = "4" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3">
Amount
</div>
<div class="col-sm-9">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.PaymentAmount, new { #class = "form-control", #maxlength = "7" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="warning">
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.PaymentAmount)
</div>
<div class="row">
<input id="submitpayment" class="btn btn-primary btn-block buttonx accountinfobutton" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</div>
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("AccountInfo", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
<div class="row">
<input id="submitpayment" class="btn btn-primary btn-block buttonx accountinfobutton" type="submit" value="Account" />
</div>
}
</div>
And my ActionResults:
public ActionResult CreditCard()
{
if (MySession.CorporationId == Guid.Empty || string.IsNullOrEmpty(MySession.AccountNumber))
{
return View("Index");
}
var model = new Models.HomeModels.CreditCard();
model.NameOnCard = MySession.Name;
model.Street = MySession.Street;
model.ZipCode = MySession.Zip;
model.PaymentAmount = MySession.TotalBalance.Contains("-") ? "" : MySession.TotalBalance;
if (MySession.BudgetBalance.GetNumericValue() > 0 && MySession.BudgetRate.GetNumericValue() > 0)
{
model.PaymentAmount = MySession.BudgetBalance;
}
return View("CreditCard", model);
}
I am populating my model with MySession:
model.NameOnCard = MySession.Name;
model.Street = MySession.Street;
model.ZipCode = MySession.Zip;
I'm not sure why the customer information is being displayed for another account logged in. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help!
You're using static. Static means there is only 1 copy of the class and is shared throughout the application. You need to change it so it isn't static and you must instantiate this for each user.
The issue is that, model binding doesn't bind one of the properties of ViewModel.
I have a ViewMode, HomeIndexViewModel.
One of the properties, ExcludeClientsWithoutAddress doesn't get bound in controller.
Fiddler shows GET request as such (without ExcludeClientsWithoutAddress)
GET /Home/searchByClient?db=dev&fileNumber=&firstName=xxx&includeContacts=true HTTP/1.1
For some reason, Other properties (FileNumber, FirstName, LastName, IncludeContacts, and File) get bound correctly.
What am I missing here?
namespace CertifiedMail.Web.Mvc4.OneOffs.Models
{
public class HomeIndexViewModel
{
[DisplayName("File #")]
public string FileNumber { get; set; }
[DisplayName("First Name")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Last Name")]
public string LastName { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Include Contact")]
public bool IncludeContacts { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Exclude Clients Without Address")]
public bool ExcludeClientsWithoutAddress { get; set; }
public HttpPostedFileBase File { get; set; }
}
}
Within Controller,
[System.Web.Mvc.HttpGet]
public string SearchByClient([FromUri]HomeIndexViewModel model)
{
IEnumerable<SearchResult> searchResults = new List<SearchResult>();
SearchByArgs args = BuildSearchByArg(model);
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(model.FileNumber))
{
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(model.FirstName) || !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(model.LastName))
searchResults = ClientSearchDataAccess.SearchByClientName(args);
}
else
searchResults = ClientSearchDataAccess.SearchByClientNumber(args);
return JsonConverter.SerializeSearchResults(searchResults);
}
Here is the View.

Your Fiddler request shows what is emitted from the browser. It isn't sending your ExcludeClientsWithoutAddress property.
Since this property is not marked nullable bool? it is being assigned a default value in binding.
You have these inputs as ng_model which suggests your Angular code is not sending this field.
So, I have an issue with a controller/view/viewmodel. It's similar to this issue I think. Basically, I have a viewmodel that I send to a view from my controller. There are items that display and then some additional fields for the user to manipulate before the whole mess is sent back over to a controller post action. When I get the data back in my post, all of the viewmodel is empty.
So, without further ado, here's some code to look at:
ViewModel:
public class ASideReceivingViewModel
{
public PurchaseOrderLine poLine;
public ReceivingItem receivingItem;
public Dictionary<string, string> TankerOrRailcarOptions { get; set; }
public ASideReceivingViewModel()
{
TankerOrRailcarOptions = new Dictionary<string, string>();
TankerOrRailcarOptions.Add("R", "Railcar");
TankerOrRailcarOptions.Add("T", "Tanker");
}
}
Controller Actions:
public ActionResult Receive(string strOrdNo, short? shtLineNo)
{
//if there isn't a selected po line, then shoot them back to the first page
if (strOrdNo == null || !shtLineNo.HasValue) return RedirectToAction("Index");
PurchaseOrderService poService = new PurchaseOrderService();
ReceivingItemService s = new ReceivingItemService(p);
ASideReceivingViewModel vm = new ASideReceivingViewModel();
vm.poLine = poService.GetOpenPurchaseOrderLines().Where(po => po.Ord_no == strOrdNo &&
po.Line_no == shtLineNo).FirstOrDefault();
if (vm.poLine == null) return RedirectToAction("Index");
vm.receivingItem = s.CreateNewReceivingItem(vm.poLine);
return View(vm);
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Receive(ASideReceivingViewModel mytestvm)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid && mytestvm.receivingItem != null)
{
ReceivingItemService s = new ReceivingItemService(p);
s.Update(mytestvm.receivingItem);
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(mytestvm);
}
View:
#model FSIApps.Presentation.Models.ASideReceivingViewModel

I don't necessarily care about the data I send to the partial view, but when I post back the regular form I get nothing set in the ViewModel. In the other post they talk about how that's an issue with naming the parameter sent back to the controller, but no combination of setting the value in my #Html.BeginForm() seems to do the trick.
Anyone have any advice for me here?
Edited:
To use the automatic model binding, you should use properties instead of fields in the view model. Hopefully this does the trick:
public class ASideReceivingViewModel
{
public PurchaseOrderLine poLine { get; set; };
public ReceivingItem receivingItem { get; set; };
...
}
