Question

I have get and post controller.
But by httpPost comtroller passing model parameter values are null.
Why my httpPost model parameter values always null ??

[HttpGet]
        public ActionResult HireItem()
        {

            var HireItemListModel = new HireItemModel();

            HireItemListModel = new HireItemModel()
            {
                first_name = Session["first_name"].ToString(),
                middle_name = Session["middle_name"].ToString(),
                last_name = Session["last_name"].ToString(),
                ceremony_date = Session["ceremony_date"].ToString(),
            };         


            var product = _productService.GetAllHireProducts();

            if (product.Count != 0)
            {

                foreach (var proValue in product)
                {
                    var productVarSeparateList = _productService.GetHireProductVariantsByProductIds(proValue.Id, false);

                    foreach (var HireProSep in productVarSeparateList)
                    {
                        var productVarSeparateModel = new HireItemModel.HireItemSeparatetModel()
                        {
                            pname = HireProSep.Name,
                            price =HireProSep.Price,
                            pId=HireProSep.Id,

                        };
                        HireItemListModel.HireItemSeparatetlist.Add(productVarSeparateModel);
                    }
                    var productVarSetList = _productService.GetHireProductVariantsByProductIds(proValue.Id, true);

                    foreach (var HireProset in productVarSetList)
                    {
                        var productVarListset = new HireItemModel.HireItemSetModel()
                        {
                            pname = HireProset.Name,
                            price = HireProset.Price,
                            pId = HireProset.Id,
                        };
                        HireItemListModel.HireItemSetList.Add(productVarListset);
                    }
                }
            }

            return View(HireItemListModel);

        }

This controller HireItemModel model parameter values are null. WHY??

[HttpPost,ActionName("HireItem")]
    public ActionResult HireItem(string submitB, FormCollection formCollection, HireItemModel HireItemListModel)
    {
        var graduandList = _graduandService.GetGraduandBynameCeremony(HireItemListModel.ceremony_id, HireItemListModel.first_name, HireItemListModel.middle_name, HireItemListModel.last_name);
        foreach (var graduand in graduandList)
        {
            graduand.height = HireItemListModel.height;
            graduand.head_circumference = HireItemListModel.head_circumferenc;
            _graduandService.Updategraduand(graduand);
        }

this is my view.

@model HireItemModel
    @using (Html.BeginForm())
     { 

         <table  >

     <tr>
        <td >

        Height (in cm):
        </td>
        <td>

                </td>
            </tr>
            </table>

         <div>
        <input class="productlistaddtocartbutton" type="submit"  value="Add to cart" name="submitB"  id="btnaddtocart"/>
         </div>

     }

Make sure inside your view you have input fields for all values that you intend to use in your POST action. For example if you want to use the ceremony_id, first_name, middle_name, and last_name properties you need to include them:

@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.ceremony_id)
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.first_name)
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.middle_name)
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.last_name)

You could use hidden fields if the user is not supposed to modify their values but you could also have used text fields depending on your requirements.
