Question

I have a model witch is holding different values in my website and i am currently trying to retrieve the value token.

I call my model in the following way:

HoldToken t = new HoldToken();
string token = t.Token;

This is how the model looks

namespace MvcResComm.Models
{

    public class HoldToken
    {
        public string Token { get; set; }
    }
}

I am always receiving null as my returned token. I think this is because i am using the new keyword.

How can i instantiate the model HoldToken with out newing it?

Most likely, you’re using a constructor-less class and an automatic property.

I’d guess that you’re not setting the HoldToken automatic property, which is why you’re getting the null.

Add a new parameterless constructor and make sure the Token member is initialised in some way.

public HoldToken() 
{
   // Set value of token here
   // Guessing at how you'd instantiate it.
   Token = new Token();
}
