In my controller i`m calling Add() method. in action result it is passing values in the controller but not passing the textbox value. when i try to use
#using (Html.BeginForm("Add", "WebProductController",FormMethod.Post))
Then the form doesnt recognize my method when i use button to sending data in my form.
im stuck in this problem. but no solution:(

Answer 1

Your Controller should look like:
public ActionResult Add(IList<ShoppingItemModel> items){
foreach(ShopingItemModel item in items){
if (item.Id != null){
ShopingItem shopingItem = service.GetById(item.Id);
... Add Item to whatever
}
}
}
Your ShoppingItemModel:
public class ShoppingItemModel{
[Required]
public Id{get;set;}
[Required]
public Amount{get;set;}
...
}
Your View (I Skipped Java Script):
#model IList<ShoppingItemModel>
<h2>Tablets</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm("Add", "WebProductController",FormMethod.Post)) {
#Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<table>
<tr>
<th>
Name
</th>
<th>
Price
</th>
...
<th>Amount</th>
</tr>
#for(int index; index < Model.Count; index++) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model[index].Id)
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model[index].Name)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model[index].Price)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model[index].Batch)
</td>
...
<td>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model[index].Quantity)
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Add" />
}
That is not the complete solution. Just a hint.
