asp.net mvc 3 c＃post变量数组

Question

I need to pass array to POST method. But i'm obviously missing sometging My view look something like this:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Klausimynas.Models.Rezultat>" %>

<input type="text" name="x[1]">
<input type="text" name="x[2]">
<input type="text" name="x[3]">
<input type="text" name="x[4]">
<input type="text" name="x[5]">
<input type="text" name="x[6]">
<input type="text" name="x[7]">

My method declaration looks like this:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult LetsTest(IEnumerable<Rezultat> rez)

and when i'm trying to extract data i'm getting Value can't be null. What i'm missing?

Answer 1

There are a couple of things wrong here:

1. Your view is typed to Rezultat but you're trying to treat the model as an IEnumerable<Rezultat> .
2. You're trying to bind each textbox to x[i] - which would be equivalent to Model.x[i] - when what you really want is to bind it to [i].x (ie Model[i].x ).

So, to correct this, you need to change a couple of things.

First, change your view to inherit System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<IEnumerable<Klausimynas.Models.Rezultat>> . Now your view can pass an IEnumerable<Rezultat> , which is what your controller action expects.

Second, change this:

<input type="text" name="x[0]">

To this:

<input type="text" name="[0].x">

The reason for this is that the first will attempt to bind the value to Model.x[0] , which is (or will be, once you've typed your view properly) equivalent to the first element in property x of an instance of IEnumerable<Rezultat> . This obviously isn't quite right, as an IEnumerable exposes no property x . What you want is to bind Model[0].x , which is the property x of the Rezultat object at index 0 .

Better still, use a helper to generate the name for you:

for(int i=0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m[i].x)
}

Answer 2

if you really wnat to do it this way you have to use I think Form Collection

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult LetsTest(FormCollection collection, IEnumerable<Rezultat> rez)
{

    string[] inputs = new string[6];
    for(int i=1; i<8; i++)
   {
       //get all your array inputs
       inputs[i-1]=collection["x["+i+"]"]
   }

}

Answer 3

Check out model binding to a list here . Items posted needs to be in certain format to be able to retrieve them as list in POST action.

Answer 4

Change your view code as follows:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Klausimynas.Models.Rezultat>" %>

<input type="text" name="x[0]" />
<input type="text" name="x[1]" />
<input type="text" name="x[2]" />
<input type="text" name="x[3]" />
<input type="text" name="x[4]" />
<input type="text" name="x[5]" />
<input type="text" name="x[6]" />

Update : On 2nd thoughts, I think this is your actual problem, you are starting from 1-7, rather than 0-6.

Thanks Ant.
