MVC 3 Razor Form Post w/ Multiple Strongly Typed Partial Views Not Binding

Question

I\'m curious about whether the approach of using multiple strongly typed partials within a form that posts back to the partial containing View is the right MVC approach to doing

Answer 1

This is because your Partial views are strongly typed. Remove the @model declaration in your Partials and access the Model properties like this

@Html.Partial("_LoginAccount")

and then in your partial

<div>
     @Html.TextBoxFor(mod => mod.UserLogin.LoginId)
     @Html.PasswordFor(mod => mod.UserLogin.Password)
</div>

Answer 2

All partials views should be strongly typed with the same view model (AccountSetup in your case) :

@model Models.Account.AccountSetup

@Html.TextBoxFor(mod => mod.UserLogin.LoginId)
@Html.PasswordFor(mod => mod.UserLogin.Password)

Then:

@Html.Partial("_LoginAccount", Model)
