Title
Body
I am trying to work out if there is built-in support for binding complex types to form elements. To use a common hypothetical situation: I have a Product entity that belongs to a Category - the models look something like this: public class Product { public int ID { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public Category Category { get; set; } } public class Category { public int ID { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } } Creating a form to hydrate a new entity that only contains simple value types is nice and simple using the ASP.Net MVC framework, e.g.: public ActionResult Create(Product product); But what about the above scenario where your entities contain other complex types? Are there built-in mechanisms for binding an IEnumerable< T > to a drop down list and then automatically hydrating the correct T when the form is submitted? It would be fairly trivial to do it manually - I'm just trying to ascertain what I can have for free out of the box.
