Answer 1

Travis's answer will address the issue. Here is another approach using EditorTemplates

You can use an Editor template to display the Products and it will work fine.

1) Create a Folder called "EditorTemplates" under your Views/Home folder

2 ) Add a view called "Products" inside that. Add this code to that view

@model SO_MVC.Models.Product
@{
   Layout = null;
}

  @Html.LabelFor(x=>x.ID)
  @Html.EditorFor(x=>x.ID) 


  @Html.LabelFor(x=>x.Name)
  @Html.EditorFor(x=>x.Name)


  @Html.LabelFor(x=>x.Price)
  @Html.EditorFor(x=>x.Price)
 
@Html.HiddenFor(x=>x.Id)

and in your Main View, you can call this Editor template like this

  @Html.EditorFor(m=>m.Products)
