“The Id field is required” validation message on Create; Id not set to [Required]

Question

This is happening when I try to create the entity using a Create style action in Asp.Net MVC 2.

The POCO has the following properties:

public int Id

Great question and answers, saved my ... behind. I need to add something, though:

Instead of

[Bind(Exclude = "Id")]

I think it's better to use

[Bind(Include = "Prop1, Prop2, Prop3, etc")]

.. where Prop1, Prop2 and Prop3 are THE ONLY properties that you want to be bound at the action level.

Since this is white-listing as opposed to black-listing. White-listing is better, safer. This way you also solve the risk of over posting and under posting too. See Brad Wilson's post.
