Null values on model for Edit action.

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have two Edit actions in my controller. The first (top) Edit works fine and serves the correct values. However, in the second one, i.e. the 'return' Edit, every property of the model parameter is at default value, i.e. null for ref types and zero for value types. I have examined the HTTP post data and it has all the properties correctly named and with correct values. What could be wrong?

What is the basic definition on the model, and what are the signatures on the controller actions (with attributes)?

If you are passing a model plus a parameter and the parameter has a name (case insensitive) that is a property this can bunge things up. The whole model won't load because there's a match on one of the params.

This can be a frustrating thing to debug...sometimes I just start with cutting a new view (super easy, right-click, add view).

With the signatures I might be able to help a bit more.

Cheers.
