  1. PONull Values returned to Controller for Edit action
    text
    copied!<p>I have the following actions in my controller. The first (top) <code>Edit</code> works fine and serves the correct values. However, in the second one, i.e. the 'return' <code>Edit</code>, every property of model is at default value, i.e. null for ref types and zero for value types. I have examined the HTTP post data and it has all the properties correctly named and with correct values. What could be wrong?</p> <p><strong>Controller excerpt:</strong></p> <pre><code> [Authorize(Order = 0, Roles = "Requester, Controller")] public ActionResult Edit(int id) { JobCardViewData viewData = ViewDataFactory.CreateBaseViewData&lt;JobCardViewData&gt;("Installation Details"); viewData.JobCard = new JobCardService().GetById(id); return View(viewData); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Edit(JobCard model) { try { new JobCardService().Update(model); var x = RedirectToAction("Index"); return RedirectToAction("Index"); } catch (Exception) { return RedirectToAction("Edit", new {id = model.InstallationNumber}); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>View excerpt:</strong></p> <pre><code> &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt; &lt;%: Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.JobCard.Name) %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; &lt;%: Html.TextBoxFor(model =&gt; model.JobCard.Name) %&gt; &lt;%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.JobCard.Name) %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt; &lt;%: Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.JobCard.Surname) %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; &lt;%: Html.TextBoxFor(model =&gt; model.JobCard.Surname) %&gt; &lt;%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.JobCard.Surname) %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>
