MVC Model View for Complex Object

Question

I am very new to MVC and I have a Model like this

User :

FirstName : TextBox
LastName : TexBox
User Commitee : [CheckBox Textbox] [CheckBox Textbox] [CheckBox Textbox]

I store if user is in committee in a separate table.I need to insert selected check box value and related text box to database.How can I achieve this ? Can this be possible with using EditorTemplate ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Have a look at this answer here. It is the same as what you're looking for with the check boxes being bound to a child collection.

Answer 2

Thanks a lot Steve. So in this case will my model be something like this ?

public class Commitee {

public bool IsInCommitee { get; set; }
public int CommiteeId { get; set; }
public string CommiteeName { get; set; }

}

public class User{

public int Id {get;set;}
public string FirstName {get;set;}
public string LastName {get;set;}
public IEnumerable<Commitee> BelongsToCommitee {get;}

}

I am still not sure how would I populate BelongsToCommitee .
