Official “How to” for MVC Editor/Display Templates?

Question

Answer 1

Official documentation? Don't know any off hand, but I know there are a ton of examples. In particular, I like Phil Haack's discussion on model binding to lists. It includes an example for an editor template in a pretty complicated example. There's source code there, too.

Since he's co-authored every MVC Wrox book, I consider him a pretty definitive source:

Here's another blog post (non-official) in a similar vein:
