Question

Hi I want to make a create form for ‘Product’ Model, which it-self contains collection of ‘Pictures’, in this manner :

<%:Html.TextBoxFor(x=> x.ProductID)%>
.....
......

<%Htm.EditorFor(x=>x.Pictures)%>

And I made an editor template for Picture :

<input type="file" name="?" id="?">
<%:Html.TextBoxFor(y=>y.PictureName)

As you know the mvc gives a unique name for each of collection controls such :

<input type="text" id="Picture[0].PictureName" ....

But I want it also for upload control, I mean give a different name for each Picture`s uplaod control.

Is there any way?

Answer 1

Yes there is. In your editor template:

<input type="file" 
        name="@ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName("")" 
        id="@ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId("")" />
