Question

So I have a simple action in my controller. The project is a MVC Mobile Application.

public ActionResult Index()
{
  return View();
}

this gives an form to enter data. I then handle the data in the post back.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(ScanViewModel model)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        Scan ns = new Scan();
        ns.Location = model.Location;
        ns.Quantity = model.Quantity;
        ns.ScanCode = model.ScanCode;
        ns.Scanner = User.Identity.Name;
        ns.ScanTime = DateTime.Now;

        _db.Scans.Add(ns);
        _db.SaveChanges();

    }

    return View(model);
}

I want to clear the fields in the form and allow users to enter data again. However I get the exact same values back into my inputs. How can I clear them in the controller.

Answer 1

Just call this.ModelState.Clear()
