Sending Data from View to the Controler by using the MVC-Model
I understand it like that: you have a mvc3 page and want to send some custom data to your controller:
Controller:
[http-post]
public ActionResult Create(PostModel p)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
p.date = DateTime.Today;
post post = new Models.DB.post();
post.u_id = User.Identity.Name;
post.date = p.date;
post.title = p.title;
post.type= p.type;
post.viwer=1;
db.posts.AddObject(post);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("LoggedIndex");
}
return View(p);
}
public ActionResult Create()
{
return View(new post());
}
View:
#model post
#using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Controller-Name", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "FORM" }))
{
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.date)
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.name)
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.title)
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.type)
}
