The controller does not receive data from json

I'm developing an administration page and I'm having trouble receiving my data from json.
I have a Create view and inside it I created a script to show my partial views when selecting a certain type. But when I select the Hotel type, my controller is not receiving the data. When I select the other types, it works well.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
My Code:

Problem:

Your ajax request specifies type, url, dataType and a callback success function but it never actually sends any of the form data with it (not sure why these fields are in a form any way if youre not using the form to submit the data to the server- but that's a different problem than your posting about.
To fix your issue, you should change your ajax request to a POST instead of GET and include your model data with it as follows:
var model = { Id = $("#Id").val(),
Preco = $("#Preco").val(),
//populate the rest of your fields here just like Id
};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(model),
url: '/Outros/Create_Percurso',
contentType: "application/json",
success: function (html) {
$('#partialDiv').html(html);
}
})

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List'

I'm new to asp.net and this is my first application.
I'm developing an application that manages insurance requests. The model Request contains a file upload. the addDemand (adds a request)requires a member(adherent) to be logged in. Every time I try to run the addDemande I get the error:
The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Mutuelle.Domain.Entities.Demande]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'Mutuelle.Domain.Entities.Demande'.
Here's the controller:
public ActionResult AddDemande()
{
Demande demande = new Demande();
return View(demande);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AddDemande([Bind(Exclude = "fichier")]Demande demande, HttpPostedFileBase fichier)
{
try
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View();
}
else
{
BinaryReader fichierReader = new BinaryReader(fichier.InputStream);
byte[] fichiers = fichierReader.ReadBytes(fichier.ContentLength);
demande.fichier = fichiers;
AdherentDService adherentService = new AdherentDService();
Adherent adherent = (Adherent)Session["logedAd"];
demande.nomBeneficiaire = adherent.nom;
demande.eMailBeneficiaire = adherent.eMail;
demande.beneficiare = adherent;
adherent.listDemandes.Add(demande);
adherentService.Updateadherent(adherent);
demande.beneficiare = adherent;
adherentService.CreateaDemande(demande);
Session.Remove("logedAd");
Session.Add("logedAd", adherent);
return RedirectToAction("Demandes");
}
}
catch
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
}
And here's the View:
model Mutuelle.Domain.Entities.Demande
#{
ViewBag.Title = "AddDemande";
}
<h2>AddDemande</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm("AddDemande", "Adherent", FormMethod.Post, new { #enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))

Multiple posts on a single page asp.net MVC with partial views

We've got a page which currently contains a four or five partial views, but is something that could grow. At the moment, there's two POST actions, for two entirely different database functions.
If we try doing the create function on another, the redirect then results in an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error, which is then relating to the other POST partial view.
Is there a way to stop this? Essentially, it seems to me that the post for one partial view is trying to interact with the other. Any ideas?
Thanks

Just figured out that I need to tell the form which action and controller to use, despite the fact two different controllers are running the views. But anyway, an example is:
#using (Html.BeginForm("CreateMain", "Bulletins", FormMethod.Post, new { }))

Adding a image to database in ASP.NET MVC 5

I'm trying to add an image to a database table using ASP.NET MVC with Entity Framework.
I've made a migration of existing ASP.NET MVC table named 'AspNetUsers' and added some new columns in it.
One of the columns is ProfilePicture, and it is byte[] type.
When I'm trying to register new user I'm expecting that user provide it's profile picture among other data.
Here is ApplicationUser class with newly added properties:
public class ApplicationUsers : IdentityUser
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string DateOfBirth { get; set; }
public byte[] ProfilePicture { get; set; }
public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<ApplicationUsers> manager)
{
// Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
// Add custom user claims here
return userIdentity;
}
}
To get the image into table I'm using class wrapper named ExtendedIdentityModels. This class inherits from RegisterViewModel class and it has only one property UserProfilePicture, type of HttpPostedFileBase, for getting the image from user's page.
public class ExtendedIdentityModels : RegisterViewModel
{
public HttpPostedFileBase UserProfilePicture { get; set; }
}
I've changed Register method in the controller to add this new properties to database:
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(ExtendedIdentityModels model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (model.UserProfilePicture != null)
{
if (model.UserProfilePicture.ContentLength > (4 * 1024 * 1024))
{
ModelState.AddModelError("CustomError", "Image can not be lager than 4MB.");
return View();
}
if (!(model.UserProfilePicture.ContentType == "image/jpeg" || model.UserProfilePicture.ContentType == "image/gif"))
{
ModelState.AddModelError("CustomError", "Image must be in jpeg or gif format.");
}
}
byte[] data = new byte[model.UserProfilePicture.ContentLength];
model.UserProfilePicture.InputStream.Read(data, 0, model.UserProfilePicture.ContentLength);
var user = new ApplicationUsers() { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email, Name = model.Name, LastName = model.LastName, City = model.City, DateOfBirth = model.DateOfBirth.ToString(), ProfilePicture = data };
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
await SignInManager.SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false, rememberBrowser: false);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
AddErrors(result);
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
For interacting with user I use following View, on the bottom of this code is a part for adding ProfilePicture.
#model StudentBookApp.Models.ExtendedIdentityModels
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Register";
}
#*<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">

#using (Html.BeginForm("Register", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { #class = "form-horizontal", role = "form" }))

</div>
}
<script type="text/javascript">

$('.datepicker').datepicker();
})
</script>
Almost everything goes well, but for model.UserProfilePicture I get null value. For some reason it doesn't get pass from View. What I'm doing wrong? I've been stuck for hours trying to find possible mistake, but no success. This kind of 'mechanism' for inserting image into table use to work well in MVC 4... Does someone sees what I'm missing and what's wrong in this kind of approach?

Nothing to do with MVC or c#, it's HTML ;) /edit Would also like to thank you for all the detail in the question since it was very thorough.
Your form needs enctype="multipart/form-data"
#using (Html.BeginForm("Register", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { #class = "form-horizontal", role = "form", enctype="multipart/form-data" }))

public ActionResult AddImage(Brand model,HttpPostedFileBase image1)
{
var db = new H_Cloths_SaloonEntities();
if (image1!=null)
{
model.Brandimage = new byte[image1.ContentLength];
image1.InputStream.Read(model.Brandimage,0,image1.ContentLength);
}
db.Brands.Add(model);
db.SaveChanges();
ViewBag.Path = "image uploaded Successfully...!";
return View(model);
}

HttpPostedFileBase is always empty

I am trying to upload image files from my form along with other fields in my model. My HttpPostedFileBase collection is always empty and the count is 0.
I have referred many other questions relating to this in SO but somehow I am unable to find the solution.

Model:
public partial class HomepageSetting

//other model properties
public string Image1 { get; set; }
public string Image2 { get; set; }
public string Image3 { get; set; }

public virtual Profile Profile { get; set; }
public List<HttpPostedFileBase> Files { get; set; }
public HomepageSetting()
{
Files = new List<HttpPostedFileBase>();
}
}
Can any one point me to what I am doing wrong here?

Instead of foreach loop do it this way, it happens with foreach as i also faced this issue:
for (int i = 0; i < Request.Files.Count; i++)
{
HttpPostedFileBase myFile = Request.Files[i];
}

In MVC you always have to proper name of html element in order to work its default binding. In your case
fileupload control has name like fileuploadImage1 , fileuploadImage2 and that not present in your model so it is not binding.
I suggest that you should name all your file upload element name.

Your action you have to do .
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult View1([Bind(Include = "Id,ProfileId,fileuploadImage1,fileuploadImage2,fileuploadImage3,fileuploadImage4,fileuploadImage5,Files")] HomepageSetting homepagesetting)
{
for (int i = 0; i < homepagesetting.Files.Count; i++)
{
if (homepagesetting.Files[i] != null)
{
}
}
return View();
}
