Accessing fields on DriverResult Editor POST in Orchard CMS 1.7

crosspost: https://orchard.codeplex.com/discussions/473252

When updating Content Items back in 1.6, I was able to get field values on POST from the HttpContext like below:

var lat = HttpContext.Current.Request["Latitude"];

Ever since 1.7, those return null and upon inspecting the request, it doesn't have those properties. I checked some more and couldn't find the fields anymore. I even tried injecting the IHttpContextAccessor but still nothing.

Does anyone know where they are held now?

Any piece of advise or information would be highly appreciated, thanks!

Why aren't you using model binding? – Bertrand Le Roy
These are fields that have been added to the "hidden" part of a Content Item. So I have 3 fields: Latitude, Longitude and MapLink (url of bing maps). I can populate lat and long from the map link provided, so I basically check the POST request if the user did put in lat and long values and if not, I check if the map link is populated and get values from there. – AnimaSola
Right. Why aren't you using model binding? – Bertrand Le Roy
I actually don't remember why we resorted to hijacking the POST request in 1.6. I have rewritten it to access the values from the parts in the Content Item after the model has been updated. problem solved. Thanks! – AnimaSola

Do not access post data directly. Use model binding instead. This can be done either with specifically typed and named parameters on a controller action, or through the TryUpdateModel method that is available from driver post methods.
