I have a blogpost edit page where you can either save your edits or upload an image (multiple submits in a single form). When you upload an image, the image link gets appended to a TinyMCE content area.
The fields for the form are in a viewusercontrol(shared with create page). Both the viewpage and usercontrol inherit from BlogPost so the model's being passed directly using <% Html.RenderPartial("Fields", Model); %>
So here's the weird thing; in my controller, when I append the image link to the textarea, nothing happens to the textarea in the view
On my viewpage I have a label for Model.Title and within the usercontrol I have the textbox for editing Model.Title.
If I update the label in the controller - model.Title = "New Title" - the updated model data changes for the label in the viewpage but not the textbox in the usercontrol.
My Controller is like this:
// /edit/{id}
public ViewResult Edit(int id, BlogPost model, string submit)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
switch (submit)
{
case "Upload":
var files = UploadFiles(Request.Files); // uploading works
model.Content += files[0].Link; // model is updated but not cascaded at runtime
model.Title = "Test"; // Force a title change to reproduce the issue
return View(model);
default:
repository.Update(model);
break;
}
}
return View(model);
}
Any ideas as to what's causing this and how to fix it? Thanks.
- I am using 4.0 and MVC 2
