if by any means I happen to have
public class DoorsModel
{
public DoorsModel() { }
public HttpPostedFileBase Image { get; set; }
public String DoorLayout { get; set; }
public bool ReplicateSettings { get; set; }
public List<DoorDesignModel> Doors { get; set; }
}
public class DoorDesignModel
{
public DoorDesignModel() { }
public HttpPostedFileBase FrontFile { get; set; }
public HttpPostedFileBase BorderFile { get; set; }
}
and in my View
I have a normal form to populate the Model Properties but the List<DoorDesignModel>
I'm using a User Control and use
<%Html.RenderPartial("DoorDesign", Model.Doors); %>
inside DoorDesign.ascx
I have:
<%@ Control
Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<List<MyProject.Backend.Models.DoorDesignModel>>" %>
to display all form I have a for
clause
MyProject.Backend.Models.DoorDesignModel field;
for (i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++) {
field = Model[i];
...
}
and I'm using the HTML
<input type="file" value="Upload file"
name="Doors.FrontFile[<%: i %>]" id="Doors.FrontFile[<%: i %>]">
but soon I press the submit button, my model returns a null
List :(
and I'm creating and setting a new list when starting the View as
public ActionResult Doors()
{
DoorsModel model = new DoorsModel();
model.Doors = new List<DoorDesignModel>();
for (int i= 1; i<= 24; i++) // Add 24 Doors
model.Doors.Add(new DoorDesignModel());
return View(model);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Doors(DoorsModel model)
{
// model.Doors is always null !!!
if (ModelState.IsValid)
ViewData["General-post"] = "Valid";
else
ViewData["General-post"] = "NOT Valid";
return View(model);
}
What do I need to have in order to return the Doors List from the RenderPartial
part?
