I'm trying to avoid using a foreach inside an mvc view, as I've seen in quite a few answers it's a good practice. But I'm not exactly getting how to achieve it.
I would like to use a list of banks, to create a bunch of radio buttons in order to post one of them (it's id, actually)
Being the viewmodel:
public class CashbackOfferViewModel
{
...
public string DepositBank { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<CompanyBank> DepositBanks { get; set; }
}
I would like to use something like:
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.DepositBanks)
and that would create the appropriate radio buttons. But when creating the editor template if I use the model
@model CompanyBank
@Html.RadioButtonFor(??????)
@Html.LabelFor(????)
How do I bind it to the DepositBank property in the model??
UPDATE:
I've been trying to make this work but with the current situation
Viewmodel:
public class CashbackOfferViewModel
{
....
public string DepositBankCode { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<CompanyBank> DepositBanks { get; set; }
}
EditorTemplate;
@model CompanyBank
<tr>
<td>
@Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.CompanyBankCode, Model.CompanyBankCode)
<span>@Html.LabelFor(m => m.CompanyBankName, Model.CompanyBankName)</span>
</td>
</tr>
But I'm getting all the radio buttons checked on load, actually the html generated is this one (changing the id for each of them)
<input checked="checked" id="DepositBanks_0__CompanyBankCode" name="DepositBanks[0].CompanyBankCode" type="radio" value="HBOS">
Basically I would like to use this in the view:
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.DepositBanks)
instead of this
@foreach (var depositBank in Model.DepositBanks)
{
@Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.DepositBankCode , depositBank.CompanyBankCode)
}
you just need to reference the property names you want to bind
make sure that you name your view CompanyBank.cshtml because in IEnumerable you cannot define the editor view name.
