ASP.NET MVC Scaffolding View - Missing Model Prope

Question

This is my first time with MVC so please excuse me if I am getting the terminology wrong. I am working on a PluralSight course.

My understanding is scaffolding goes to the model and creates a view when selecting Add View.

Here's my model

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web;

    namespace OdeToFood.Models
    {
        public class RestaurantReview
        {
            public int Id { get; set; }        
            public int Rating { get; set; }
            public string Body { get; set; }
            public string ReviewerName { get; internal set; }
            public int RestaurantId { get; set; }

        }
  }

I go to my controller action and click Add View. My view is missing ReviewerName when it is built. I add ReviewerName manually to my Create view. The ReviewerName appears to not be recognized by the Model Binder when data is added to the database.

I am unsure where to go from here. Thanks for you help!

When you mark the property setter as internal, the scaffolding ignores it. Simply remove that from the property and you should be set (pun intended):

public string ReviewerName { get; set; }
