I have a really wierd issue with MVC. My models keeps getting submitted empty. And it's probably really simple, but I just can't find the issue.
My model looks like this:
public class LoginModel
{
public string Username;
public string Password;
}
My controller like this:
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Login()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Login(LoginModel loginTest)
{
if (loginTest.Username != "x" && loginTest.Password != "y")
{
ModelState.AddModelError("a", "Login failed.");
return View(loginTest);
}
else
{
return RedirectToAction("Home", "Welcome");
}
}
And the view is also very simple, like this.
@model LoginSolution.Models.LoginModel
@{
Layout = null;
}
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
@using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Home"))
{
<div> <span>Username : </span>
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Username)
<br />
<span>Password : </span>
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Password)
<br />
@Html.ValidationSummary()
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Login" name="Login" />
</div>
}
</body>
</html>
This is not a question about security or best practice. This is just a question regarding why the model keeps returning itself as empty upon submitting.
Your model contains fields, not properties (no getter/setter) so the model binder cannot set the values. Change your model to
