Ok, this is weird. I cannot use BindAttribute's Include and Exclude properties with complex type nested objects on ASP.NET MVC.
Here is what I did:
Model:
public class FooViewModel {
public Enquiry Enquiry { get; set; }
}
public class Enquiry {
public int EnquiryId { get; set; }
public string Latitude { get; set; }
}
HTTP POST action:
[ActionName("Foo"), HttpPost]
public ActionResult Foo_post(
[Bind(Include = "Enquiry.EnquiryId")]
FooViewModel foo) {
return View(foo);
}
View:
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Enquiry.EnquiryId)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Enquiry.Latitude)
<input type="submit" value="push" />
}
Does not work at all. Can I only make this work if I define the BindAttribute for Enquiry class as it is stated here:
How do I use the [Bind(Include="")] attribute on complex nested objects?
