Why is my controller recieving an empty
model in this case?
Using the following,
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<X.Models.ProductModel>" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<h2>Product</h2>
<% using (Html.BeginForm() {%>
<%: Html.ValidationSummary(true) %>
<div class="editor-label">
Product Name
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<%: Html.TextBoxFor(model =>
model.Name) %>
<%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =>
model.Name) %>
</div>
<br />
<div class="editor-label">
Short Description
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<%: Html.TextAreaFor(model =>
model.ShortDesc) %>
<%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =>
model.ShortDesc) %>
</div>
<br />
<div class="editor-label">
Long Description
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<%: Html.TextAreaFor(model =>
model.LongDesc) %>
<%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =>
model.LongDesc) %>
</div>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Create" />
</p>
<% } %>
</asp:Content>
and the following controller
using System.Web.Mvc;
using X.Lib.Services;
using X.Models;
namespace X.Admin.Controllers
{
public class ProductController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult ProductData()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ProductData(ProductModel NewProduct)
{
//Validate and save
if(ModelState.IsValid)
{
//Save And do stuff.
var ProductServ = new ProductService();
ProductServ.AddProduct(NewProduct);
}
return View();
}
}
}
