Save data in 2 tables mvc - mysql

Question

My project is Room-reservation service .I have View :
#model Client
#using (Html.BeginForm("SaveUserDB", "Booking", FormMethod.Post))
{
<div class="editor-label">
#Html.Label("Surname")
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Surname)
</div>
<div class="editor-label">
#Html.Label("Name")
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
</div>
<div class="editor-label">
#Html.Label("Patronymic")
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Patronymic)
</div>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Reservation" />
And I have controller for this View:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SaveUserDB(Client client)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
using (db)
{
db.Client.Add(client);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Thankyou");
}
}
return View(client);
}
This controller save data client to database table Client. But I need also create record in second table Reservation, which takes parameters: Datetime.Now , and Client.Id. Parameter Client Id in database is autoincrement, but doesn't display in the View.

Answer 1

Well, if this is how you add a record to the Client table:
db.Client.Add(client);
Then why not use that same exact approach to add a record to the Reservation table? Something like this:
var reservation = new Reservation
{
ClientID = client.ID,
SomeOtherColumn = DateTime.Now
};
db.Reservation.Add(reservation);
(Note: This is based on speculation of what your Reservation object/table might look like based on your description. But the concept is the same. Create an instance of a reservation object and add it to the data context.)
