Answer 1

Use an EditorTemplate and you will be good.

Create a Folder Called "EditorTemplates" and create a view (the editor template) with the name Car.cshtml

Now Add the below code to this new view.

@model Car

   @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Name)

Now in your Main View, Use the Html.EditorFor HTML helper method to call this editor template

@model SO_MVC.Models.CarList
CarList
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    
Quanitty 
    @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.quantity) 
    @Html.EditorFor(x=>x.Cars)
    
}

Now have an HTTPPOst action method to accept the form posting

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CarList(CarList model)
{
   //Check model.Cars property now.
}

You will see the results now
