model-binding

I was under the impression that model binding in the ASP.Net Web API was supposed to support binding with the same minimum level of functionality supported by MVC. Take the following controller: public class WordsController : ApiController { private string[] _words = new [] { "apple", "ball", "cat", "dog" }; public IEnumerable<string> Get(SearchModel searchSearchModel) { return _words .Where(w => w.Contains(searchSearchModel.Search)) .Take(searchSearchModel.Max); } } public class SearchModel { public string Search { get; set; } public int Max { get; set; } } I'm requesting it with: http:/

I'm a huge fan of asp.net 4.5 webforms model binding using data annotations. ascx: <asp:FormView ItemType="Contact" runat="server" DefaultMode="Edit" SelectMethod="GetContact" UpdateMethod="SaveContact"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:ValidationSummary runat="server" ID="valSum" /> Firstname: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtFirstname" Text='<%#: BindItem.Firstname %>' /> Lastname: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtLastname" Text='<%#: BindItem.Lastname %>' /> Email: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtEmail" Text='<%#: BindItem.Email %>' /> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Save"

In my Jquery script I post two doubles using the browser's CultureInfo (en-UK) that uses the . as a fraction separator. My MVC app is running on a server with locale nl-BE using the , as a fraction separator. [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public JsonResult GetGridCell(double longitude, double latitude) { var cell = new GridCellViewModel { X = (int)Math.Round(longitude, 0), Y = (int)Math.Round(latitude, 0) }; return Json(cell); } The modelbinding fails because of the parsing issue. I think it would be best to have my javascript set to en-UK and the same for the modelbinding in my MVC app. But I

I have the following Action to display a form with 3 items : [HttpGet] public ActionResult ReferAFriend() { List<ReferAFriendModel> friends = new List<ReferAFriendModel>(); ReferAFriendModel f1 = new ReferAFriendModel(); ReferAFriendModel f2 = new ReferAFriendModel(); ReferAFriendModel f3 = new ReferAFriendModel(); friends.Add(f1); friends.Add(f2); friends.Add(f3); return View(friends); } and then a Post action [HttpPost] public ActionResult ReferAFriend(IEnumerable<ReferAFriendModel> friends) { if(ModelState.IsValid){ EDIT My View looks like this: @model IEnumerable<Models.ReferAFriendModel>

So I have a Collection of User objects, which should be mass-editable (edit many users at the same time). I'm saving the user input to the database using Entity Framework. The collection the controller method gets from the form is null. Why? Also, is the BindAttribute possible to use with collections like in my code? View: @model IEnumerable<Domain.User> @using (Html.BeginForm("UpdateUsers", "Users")) { @Html.AntiForgeryToken() @Html.ValidationSummary(true) foreach (var item in Model) { @Html.HiddenFor(modelItem => item.Id) @Html.EditorFor(modelItem => item.FirstName) @Html

I’m trying to build this: When I edit field on the left it should update the one on the right and vice-versa. Editing a value in an input field causes the text cursor to jump at the end of it. Typing "2" in the fahrenheit field gets replaced with 1.999999999999, as you can see on the screenshot. This happens because of the double conversion: view’s Fº → model’s Cº → view’s Fº. How can I avoid that? Update: I want to know the elegant way of dealing with two-way bindings in MVC frameworks such as Backbone.js. MVC var Temperature = Backbone.Model.extend({ defaults: { celsius: 0 }, fahrenheit:
