Question

I got a list of:

public class Items
{
    public String Nro_Item { get; set; }
    public Sucursal Sucursal { get; set; }
    public Areas Area { get; set; }
    public Sectores Sector { get; set; }
    public bool ID_Estado { get; set; }
}

I’m passing it to this view:

@using ClientDependency.Core.Mvc
@model IEnumerable<TrackingOperaciones.Controllers.Items>

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Ver Items";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<br/>
@using (Html.BeginForm("CargarRecibidos", "Recepcion", FormMethod.Post))
{    
<table class="table table-striped table-bordered table-condensed">
    <tr>
        <th>
            Numero
        </th>
        <th>
            Sucursal
        </th>
        <th>
            Area
        </th>
        <th>
            Sector
        </th>
    </tr>
  @foreach (var item in Model)
  {
    <tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Nro_Item)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Sucursal.descripcion)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Area.descripcion)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Sector.Descripcion)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.CheckBoxFor(modelItem => item.ID_Estado)
        </td>
    </tr>
  }
</table>
<p>
    <input class="btn" name="Guardar" type="submit" value="Guardar"/> |
    @Html.ActionLink("Volver al listado de Recepción", "Index")
</p>
}

Until there everything is fine: Now the problem is getting back the entire model with the checked values in a controller for processing it like this one:

[HttpPost]
 public ActionResult CargarRecibidos(IEnumerable<Items> items)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                //do something here
            }
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }
    }

But i’m falling miserably because “items” came back empty in the postback

i’m guess something is wrong with the form

@using (Html.BeginForm("CargarRecibidos", "Recepcion"))
{  
    <input class="btn" name="Guardar" type="submit" value="Guardar"/>
}

please help me!

Answer 1

Use IEnumerable

Then the controller input parameter will be List

Perhaps also consider using AJAX POST with JSON objects in place of a form submit (more modern/elegant) but submits are fine too.
