In razor view I have a form:
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Person</h4>
<hr />
@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Id)
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.FirstName, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FirstName, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
etc. for long time,but I want to pass values from these below to controller:
<div class="form-group">
<input class="form-control text-box single-line valid" id="FetchDate" name="FetchDate" type="date">
<input class="form-control text-box single-line valid" id="FetchTime" name="FetchTime" type="time">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-0 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" style="width: 200px; font-weight: bold;" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
Submit(type="submit)
button invokes POST
edit action in Person
controller:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Include = "Id,FirstName")] Person person) {
if (ModelState.IsValid) {
db.Entry(person).State = EntityState.Modified;
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(person);
}
We can see that the only parameter is Person person
, but inside the form I added two fields which have nothing in common with a Person but I also would like to pass values from them to POST Edit
by submit button:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-md-2" >If you want this client to be fetched to you later, fullfil the data.</label>
<input class="form-control text-box single-line valid" id="FetchDate" name="FetchDate" type="date">
<input class="form-control text-box single-line valid" id="FetchTime" name="FetchTime" type="time">
</div>
Question: How to pass values to controller's POST Edit
action which are not part of any model from my Razor view(above)?
I tried this and time is null or empty string(didn't check yet):
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Include = "Id,FirstName")] Person person, [Bind(Include="FetchTime")] String time) {
Debug.WriteLine("Time " + time);
if (ModelState.IsValid) {
db.Entry(person).State = EntityState.Modified;
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(person);
}
