MVC binding to model with list property ignores other properties

Question

I have a basic ViewModel with a property that is a List of complex types. When binding, I seem to be stuck with getting either the list of values, OR the other model propert

Answer 1

Try to change the code for the Data collection to this, and let MVC take care of the naming:

@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Data.Count(); i++)
{
    @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Data[i].Id)
    @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Data[i].ParentId)
    @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Data[i].Name)
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Data[i].Value)
}
