Below, on initial load (Edit), everything displays fine. However, when I POST (Action below), it looks like it goes and tries to grab the ProductAttribute models separately, with the Product's id, which promptly fails. How to keep my Binder implementation from trying to re-bind Collections as separate entities? Thanks! Model public ...
Hi all, I am using the MS shipped client side validation in asp.net mvc 2. The model in question has one property called "FirstName". Our client side developer really like to have camel-case in the elements id, so instead of using the normal html helper Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.FirstName), we wrote out the html input view instead like: ...
For number of years I did ASP.NET web forms development I was spoiled by a proprietary library, which allowed me to do things like: UpdateToObject(ControlsCollection, obj) UpdateFromObject(ControlsCollection, obj) Conceptually code did something very similar to what MVC Model Binder does, i.e. given form's posted values as inp...
Consider this view model that uses two custom validators. It posts back to the controller in an enumerable collection. public class FormFieldViewModel { public Guid FormFieldKey { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } // Utilize a string[] array since multiple-selection items will require this (we can assume array[0]...

What I want is for it to capture the value even if it's written as hhmm or hh.mm or hh.mm.ss or ... I want many different formats to be parsed correctly. Is this possible? Thank...
Hi, I'm trying to unit test a custom model binder - specifically, I want to see how it responds to various (possibly conflicting) values being submitted in the Request.Form and Request.QueryString collections - i.e. if I submit one value in the form and another in the querystring (yeah, yeah, I know, this is evil, but I want test covera...
I am attempting to bind a list that is part of a larger view model without resorting to a custom model binder. When I use an editor template to build the list of inputs, the generated names are not in the correct format for the default binder to work. Instead of Items[3].Id like I would expect it is Items.[3].Id. If I build the list wi...
