当没有将模型类的实例传递给视图时，如何避免Create.cshtml中的EditorFor（x = x.Prop）生成的null异常？

Question

约束：

1. 我不想使用Nullable类型。
2. 我不想在HttpGet Create操作方法中实例化一个模型类。

型号类：

namespace MvcTest.Models
{
    public enum Gender { Male, Female }
    public class Person
    {
        public Gender Gender { get; set; }
    }
}

模板编辑助手（Gender.cshtml）：

@using MvcTest.Models
@model Gender
@{
    var genders = from Gender g in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Gender))
                  select new { Value = g, Text = g.ToString() };

    var sl = new SelectList(genders, "Value", "Text", Model);
}
@Html.DropDownList(string.Empty, sl, "--Select--")

控制器：

using System.Web.Mvc;
using MvcTest.Models;

namespace MvcTest.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Create()
        {
            //Person p = new Person();
            //return View(p);

            return View();
        }

    }
}

视图：

@model MvcTest.Models.Person
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{

    @Html.EditorFor(x => x.Gender)
    <p>
        <input type="submit" value="Create" />
    </p>
}

错误：

Server Error in '/' Application.

The model item passed into the dictionary is null, but this dictionary requires a non-null model item of type 'MvcTest.Models.Gender'.

问题：如果没有将模型类的实例传递给视图，如何避免Create.cshtml中的EditorFor（x = x.Prop）生成的null异常？

Answer 1

AFAIK你需要使用可空的枚举来实现这一目标。 它也有意义，因为当未选择值（ --SELECT-- ）时，枚举必须为空。 这是一篇关于有用扩展方法的好文章 。
