Take the example classes below. I want to display the customer and two addresses (from a LIST) on a form. Does the model binder in MVC beta support this or will I have to write my own custom binder?
public class Customer
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public List<Address> Addresses { get; set; }
public Customer()
{
Addresses = new List<Address>();
}
}
public class Address
{
public int Line1 { get; set; }
public int Line2 { get; set; }
public int City { get; set; }
public int State { get; set; }
public int Zip { get; set; }
}
How would you code the fields? Like this?
<!-- some HTML formatting -->
<%= Html.TextBox("customer.address.line1", ViewData.Customer.Address[0].Line1)%>
<!-- some more HTML formatting -->
<%= Html.TextBox("customer.address.line1", ViewData.Customer.Address[1].Line1)%>
<!-- end of HTML form formatting -->
I've never tried it, but see this post, it's about model binding to a list, maybe it can help you.
