I am using a partial view to create a parent child view. What I would ideally like is the submit button on the parent view to save the child values.
I have the following model.
public class Course
{
public int CourseId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Par { get; set; }
public string Tee { get; set; }
public decimal Rating { get; set; }
public virtual IEnumerable<CourseHole> Holes { get; set; }
public static Course Create()
{
var course = new Course();
course.Par = 72;
var holes = new List<CourseHole>();
for (int i = 0; i < 18; i++)
{
holes.Add(new CourseHole() { Course = course, Number = i + 1, Par = 4 });
}
course.Holes = holes;
return course;
}
}
public class CourseHole
{
public int CourseHoleId { get; set; }
public int Number { get; set; }
public int Par { get; set; }
public int Length { get; set; }
public int Ranking { get; set; }
public Course Course { get; set; }
}
And the following parent view.
@model Golf_Statz.Models.Course
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}
<h2>Create</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Course</h4>
<hr />
@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-4">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Par, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-4">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Par, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Par, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Tee, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-4">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Tee, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Tee, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Rating, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-4">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Rating, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Rating, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
@foreach (Golf_Statz.Models.CourseHole hole in Model.Holes)
{
@Html.Partial("CreateHole", hole)
}
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
<div>
@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>
@section Scripts {
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
And the following partial view.
@model Golf_Statz.Models.CourseHole
@{
ViewBag.Title = "CreateHole";
}
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal" id="CreateHole-" + model.CourseHoleId>
@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2">
<p>@Model.Number</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Par, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Par, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Length, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Length, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Ranking, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Ranking, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
@section Scripts {
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
My controller methods are.
// GET: Course/Create
public ActionResult Create()
{
return View(Course.Create());
}
// POST: Course/Create
// To protect from overposting attacks, please enable the specific properties you want to bind to, for

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "CourseId,Name,Par,Tee,Rating")] Course course)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.Courses.Add(course);
foreach (var hole in course.Holes)
{
db.CourseHoles.Add(hole);
}
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(course);
}
No matter what I seem to do course.Holes in the HttpPost Create method is always null. I think I want something similar to this but it's for editing and I want it for creating. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my first mvc project.
