One view can has 0 or 1 Model, which's sending from controller.
public class Person
{
public string Name {get;set;}
public int Age {get;set;}
}
public ViewResult Index()
{
Person p = new Person() { Name = "P1", Age = 100};
return View(p);//
}
if your View's name "Index" then you can use second way for View, which contain 2 parameters:
ViewName and model
return View("Index", model: p);
then in your View you can use the model, if it has been implemented that:
@model Person//and remember about namespace
@
{
...
}
@using(Html.BeginForm("ActionName", "controllerName", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name); // it create input, check in F12 in your browse - then you can exactly understand.
}
if you want create Editor for item you must use:
@Html.TextBox("YourName")
for example:
@using(Html.BeginForm("Action", "controller")
{
@Html.TextBox("YourName")
<input type="submit" value="ok"/>
}
and in your controllerController:
public ViewResult Action(string YourName)
{
//here you got value for string YourName
return View();
}
and helpfully answer's here:
ASP.NET MVC get textbox input value
Edit, answer about exactly problem (which containt in comment below question):
I have a list, and I want to display an input text box for each item in the list, but I want each text box to have text inside when its created, text from each item in the list (coming from the item's property)
@foreach(var item in Model)
@using(Html.BeginForm("MyMethod", "Controller"))
{
@Html.TextBox("item", item)
<input type="submit" value="ok" />
}
and in your controller add MyMethod:
[HttpPost]
public ViewResult MyMethod(string item)
{
...
}
or
[HttpPost]
public ViewResult MyMethod(int item) //if it's an int
{
...
}
