Question

I have some viewModels similar to these:

public class ResturantViewModel
{
   public ResturantViewModel()
   {
       Clients.Add(new ClientViewModel());
   }
   public string MyProperty {get;set;}
   public IList<ClientViewModel> Clients = new List<ClientViewModel>();
}

public class ClientViewModel
{
   public string FirstName {get;set;}
   public string LastName {get;set;}
}

In my View I have something like:

@foreach(var client in Model.Clients)
{
   <tr>
      <td>First Name: @Html.EditorFor(item => client.FirstName)</td>
      <td>Last  Name: @Html.EditorFor(item => client.LastName)</td>
   </tr>
}

I’d like to have a button which can add some new blank ClientViewModels to the ResturantViewModel.Clients list so that it could be rendered in the View and posted to the Resturant/Create action.

Thanks in advance

You may take a look at the following blog post. It uses the WebForms view engine but it could be very easily adapted to Razor.
