model-binding

I have a collection of objects on my Model that I'm rendering in a View by using EditFor function, and I have an EditorTemplate which is responsible for actually rendering each object. @Html.EditorFor(model => model.MyObjects) This has worked well for a while now, and when you check the html, my text boxes are prefixed with the model property, followed by the index of the collection they came from. <input class="text-box single-line" id="MyObjects_2__SomeProperty" name="MyObjects[2].SomeProperty" type="Text" value="" /> However I've recently started using the ShowForEdit and ShowForDisplay

We have some PHP and Javascript apps that call into some ASP.NET MVC endpoints. Let's say we have this endpoint: public ActionResult DoSomething(bool flag) { } I want it to match the value for flag whether I pass in an integer of 1 or 0, or pass in a string of "true" or "false". What part of the framework do I need to implement in order to match that up? The best way to do this is using a custom value provider. While you can do this using a complete custom model binder, that is overkill based on your requirements, and it is much easier simply to implement a custom value provider. For some

I am using Redactor as an HTML editor, which has a component for uploading images and files . Redactor takes care of the client side bit, and I need to provide the server side upload functionality. I have no problem getting the uploads to work if I use Request.Files in the controller. But I would like to bind the posted files to a Model, and I seem unable to do this, because the parameter they are sent with is files[] - with square brackets in the name. My question: Is it possible to bind the posted "file[]" to an MVC model? It's an invalid property name, and using file alone doesn't work.

I have the following problem: On a Button-Click I POST some data to the server. My controller Action looks like this: public ActionResult Accept(List<MyViewModel> entries) { //here entries HAS 2 MyViewModel-Instances in it. //The entries are not null, but the values of the instances are! //entries[0].ParamA is null } Where the MyViewModel looks like this: public class MyViewModel { public string ParamA { get; set; } public string ParamB { get; set; } } And the AJAX-Call is the follwing: var myEntries = { entries: [{ ParamA: "A", ParamB: "B" }, { ParamA: "C", ParamB: "D" }] }; $.ajax({ type:

the model: public class UploadFileModel { public int Id { get; set; } public string FileName { get; set; } public HttpPostedFileBase File { get; set; } } the controller: public void Post(UploadFileModel model) { // never arrives... } I am getting an error "No MediaTypeFormatter is available to read an object of type 'UploadFileModel' from content with media type 'multipart/form-data'." Is there anyway around this? It's not easily possible. Model binding in Web API is fundamentally different than in MVC and you would have to write a MediaTypeFormatter that would read the stream of files into

As per this article I am trying to bind a list of non sequential items. View: <%using (Html.BeginForm("Products", "Home", FormMethod.Post)) { %> <input type="hidden" name="products.Index" value="cold" /> <input type="text" name="products[cold].Name" value="Beer" /> <input type="text" name="products[cold].Price" value="7.32" /> <input type="hidden" name="products.Index" value="123" /> <input type="text" name="products[123].Name" value="Chips" /> <input type="text" name="products[123].Price" value="2.23" /> <input type="hidden" name="products.Index" value="caliente" /> <input type="text" name=

I'm coming across the same problem in my MVC 3 applications. I've got a view to create an new product and that product can be assigned to one or more categories. Here are my EF Code First Model Classes: public class Product { public int ProductID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Category> Categories { get; set; } } public class Category { public int CategoryID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Product> Products { get; set; } } So, I create a view model for the create product view and include the product and a list
