TextBoxFor value not updating after post

Question

I have a simple strongly typed view, but I cant seem to update a textbox on my form after a post.

Here is my model:

public class Repair
  {
    public          


        

Answer 1

When you post a model back to an ActionResult and return the same View, the values for the model objects are contained in the ModelState. The ModelState is what contains information about valid/invalid fields as well as the actual POSTed values. If you want to update a model value, you can do one of two things:

ModelState.Clear()

or

ModelState["Number"].Value = new ValueProviderResult("New Value", "New Value", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)
