Asp mvc 4 model binding with post method
Your code seems fine. If the controller action you are posting to takes a BienModel
as action parameter then binding should work fine:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SomeAction(BienModel model)
{
...
}
You might also take a look at the following article
about the standard convention in ASP.NET MVC for binding to a list.
Also currently you only have an input field for the valor
property. The nombre
property doesn't have a corresponding input field so you will never get its value back. If you want that to happen you could use a hidden field:
@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Atributos.Count;i++ )
{
@Html.LabelFor(x => x.Atributos[i].valor, Model.Atributos[i].nombre)
@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Atributos[i].nombre)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Atributos[i].valor)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Atributos[i].valor)
}

im looking for a way (if there's any) to make the model binding process to work with a List of objects, on a post method. I can easily display the list. But when it comes to the user upload a "Bien" with a post method i cant make the framework bind each list element correctly. You can see the page part where i try to make labels and text boxes is commented, cause i keep getting exceptions, so i guess im doing it wrong and i cant find a way to upload a variable amount of parameters on my model.
This is the Model:
public class BienModel { [Required] [Display(Name = "Nombre del Bien.")] public String Nombre { set; get; } public List<Atributo> Atributos { set; get; } } public class Atributo { [Required] public String nombre { set; get; } [Required] public String valor { set; get; } public Atributo(){} public Atributo(String n, String v){ this.nombre=n; this.valor=v; } }
And this is the page:
@using (Html.BeginForm()) { <fieldset> <legend>Publicar bien form.</legend> <ol> <li> @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Nombre) @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Nombre) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Nombre) </li> @*@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Atributos.Count;i++ ) { @Html.Label(Model.Atributos[i].nombre) @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Atributos[i].valor) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Atributos[i].valor) }*@ </ol> <input type="submit" value="Publicar!" /> </fieldset> }
And this the controller
public ActionResult PublicarBien() { //Pido a la logica los atributos BienModel b = new BienModel(); b.Atributos = new List<Atributo>(); b.Atributos.Add(new Atributo("Atributo1", "")); b.Atributos.Add(new Atributo("Atributo2", "")); b.Atributos.Add(new Atributo("Atributo3", "")); b.Atributos.Add(new Atributo("Atributo4", "")); return View(b); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult PublicarBien(BienModel b) { try { if (ModelState.IsValid) { //se da de alta el bien return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home"); } } catch(Exception ex){ ModelState.AddModelError("",ex.Message); } return View(b); }
