    copied!<p>In an mvc 3 .Net FW 4.0 project I have a data that relates in a parent child relationship, I've built up my model to contain a list of "children" with each parent record, and displaying it as in the following example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/ViewMasterPage.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage&lt;MvcTest.Models.ModelList&gt;" %&gt; &lt;asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server"&gt; ShowPropReturn &lt;/asp:Content&gt; &lt;asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;ShowPropReturn&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;script src="&lt;%: Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js") %&gt;" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="&lt;%: Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js") %&gt;" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %&gt; &lt;%: Html.ValidationSummary(true) %&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;ModelList&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt; &lt;%: Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.MyProperty1) %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; &lt;%: Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.MyProperty1) %&gt; &lt;%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.MyProperty1) %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt; &lt;%: Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.MyProperty2) %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; &lt;%: Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.MyProperty2) %&gt; &lt;%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.MyProperty2) %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;% foreach (var item in Model.MyProperty3) { %&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;%: Html.TextBoxFor(i =&gt; item.string1) %&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;%: Html.TextBoxFor(i =&gt; item.string2) %&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;% } %&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Save" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;% } %&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;%: Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index") %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/asp:Content&gt; </code></pre> <p>I figured out that if a displayfor is used to only display a field value, it does not get posted back which makes sense. But I'm getting a null for the child list object in the model on httppost and I need to have these items edited on the same view, it is also null in the formcollection object, can anyone help me on this please?</p>
