    text
    copied!<p>Given a Model</p> <pre><code>public class Task { public int TaskId { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public ICollection&lt;SomeData&gt; Information { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>where</p> <pre><code>public class SomeData { public int SomeDataId { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>I have a view</p> <pre><code>@model myProject.Models.Task &lt;div&gt; @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.Title) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;table&gt; @Html.Partial("_InformationEdit", Model.Information.ToList(), new ViewDataDictionary(Html.ViewDataContainer.ViewData) { TemplateInfo = new System.Web.Mvc.TemplateInfo { HtmlFieldPrefix = "Information" }}) &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>and my partial is</p> <pre><code>@model IList&lt;myProject.Models.SomeData&gt; @for (int i = 0; i &lt; Model.Count(); i++) { &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.EditorFor(modelItem =&gt; Model[i].Description) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; } </code></pre> <p><strong>However</strong></p> <p>My Html fields are being rendered like</p> <pre><code>&lt;input class="text-box single-line" id="Information__0__Description" name="Information.[0].Description" type="text"&gt; </code></pre> <p>Where the names should be <code>Information[0].Description</code>. It's got an additional dot in there, so is not being bound back to the model correctly when posted. How can I fix this?</p> <p>As per <strong><a href="http://haacked.com/archive/2008/10/23/model-binding-to-a-list.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Model binding to a list</a></strong> I can see what my Id's are supposed to be, but I just can't figure out the correct syntax.</p> <p>Also, is there a more elegant way to achieve this with an <code>IEnumerable</code> using a <code>@foreach</code> ?</p> <p><em>Related:</em> </p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12974957/asp-net-mvc4-bind-a-create-view-to-a-model-that-contains-list">ASP.Net MVC4 bind a &quot;create view&quot; to a model that contains List</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/653514/asp-net-mvc-model-binding-an-ilist-parameter">ASP.NET MVC model binding an IList&lt;&gt; parameter</a></p>
