Hi there, I'm struggling myself trying to get the contents of a form which is a complex model and then update the model with that complex model.

My account model has many individuals

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult OpenAnAccount(string area,[Bind(Exclude = "Id")]Account account, [Bind(Prefix="Account.Individuals")] EntitySet<Individual> individuals){

    var db = new DB();
    account.individuals = invdividuals;
    db.Accounts.InsertOnSubmit(account);
    db.SubmitChanges();
}

So it works nicely for adding new Records, but not for update them like:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult OpenAnAccount(string area,[Bind(Exclude = "Id")]Account account, [Bind(Prefix="Account.Individuals")] EntitySet<Individual> individuals){

    var db = new DB();
    var record = db.Accounts.Single(a => a.Reference == area); 
    account.individuals = invdividuals;

    try{
        UpdateModel(record, account); // I can't convert account ToValueProvider()
        db.SubmitChanges();
    }
    catch{
        return ... //Error Message
    }
}

My problem is being how to use UpdateModel with the account model since it's not a FormCollection. How can I convert it? How can I use ToValueProvider with a complex model?

I hope I was clear enough

Thanks a lot :)
