model-binding

I've done this in the past, and i may have to do it again, but before i do, i want to throw it out there to see how people handle it. Razor view: <ul> @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Questions) </ul> Which could produce: <ul> <li><input type="text" id="Questions_0__Title" name="Questions[0].Title" value="hi"/></li> <li><input type="text" id="Questions_1__Title" name="Questions[1].Title" value="hi2"/></li> <ul> Pretty dead simple. Now, i need to allow the user to add, edit or remove any of those "Questions". For Edit, it's easy - no work req'd. But for add/delete, if i were to do it with jQuery,

I have an entity called Domain.Models.BlogPost which contains the following properties: PostID Title Author PostedDate Body I also have an entity called Domain.Models.PostComment which contains the following properties: CommentID PostID Author Email Website Body BlogPost contains many PostComments .

Here is my model class: public class MyModel { public Employees[] MyEmpls{get;set;} public int Id{get;set;} public OrgName{get;set;} } Passing the below JSON structure object with MyEmpls as empty array to MVC controller. ["Id":12, "MyEmpls":[], "OrgName":"Kekran Mcran"] Controller [HttpPost] public ActionResult SaveOrg(MyModel model) { //model.MyEmpls is null here } I am expecting mode.MyEmpls to be an empty c# array, not a null.

I'm trying to perform remote validation on a property of an item within a collection. The validation works OK on the first item of the collection. The http request to the validation method looks like: /Validation/IsImeiAvailable?ImeiGadgets[0].ImeiNumber=123456789012345 However on the 2nd item where the url looks like below, the validation doesn't work /Validation/IsImeiAvailable?ImeiGadgets[1].ImeiNumber=123456789012345 Now I'm pretty sure the reason for this, is that binding wont work on a collection that doesn't begin with a zero index. My validation method has a signature as below: public

I have a custom modelbinder, its check the authentication cookie and return the value. public class UserDataModelBinder<T> : IModelBinder { public object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext) { if (controllerContext.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.IsAuthenticated) { var cookie = controllerContext.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName]; if (cookie == null) return null; var decrypted = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(cookie.Value); if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(decrypted.UserData)) return JsonSerializer
