    <p>I got a MVC Razor View page as a form for people to enter details and submit to a database. It works using dropdownlist but I want to add a autocomplete textbox to the form. This works fine however when posting back to the POST controller it sets the ID of the person to 0 always. Any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Javascript:</p> <pre><code> script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function () { $("#PersonName").autocomplete({ source: '@Url.Action("AutocompleteSuggestions")', minLength: 2, select: function (event, ui) { if (ui.item) { $("#PersonName").val(ui.item.label); $("#PersonId").val(ui.item.value); } } }); }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>Controller:</p> <pre><code> [HttpPost] public ActionResult Create(MappingModel view) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { var entity = new PersonContempancy(); entity.PersonId = view.PersonId; entity.FrameworkId = view.FrameworkId; entity.ContempancyCategoryId = view.ContempancyCategoryId; entity.ContempancyId = view.ContempancyId; entity.ContempancyLevelId = view.ContempancyLevelId; entity.FrameworkLevelId = view.FrameworkLevelId; db.PersonContempancies.Add(entity); db.SaveChanges(); return RedirectToAction("Index"); } ViewBag.Contepancies = db.Contempancies.ToList(); ViewBag.ContempancyCategory = db.ContempancyCategories.ToList(); ViewBag.ContempancyLevel = db.ContempancyLevels.ToList(); ViewBag.FrameworkLevel = db.FrameworkLevels.ToList(); ViewBag.Person = db.People.ToList(); ViewBag.Framework = db.Frameworks.ToList(); return View(); } public ActionResult AutocompleteSuggestions(string term) { var namelist = db.People.Where(c =&gt; c.PersonName.Contains(term)).Select(c =&gt; new { value = c.PersonId, label = c.PersonName}).Distinct().Take(10); return Json(namelist.ToArray(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); } </code></pre>

    1. COHow is the PersonID related to the autocomplete functionality? Does idCat represent the PersonID?

    2. COsorry ignore idcat i removed it it was failed test. PersonId is used to get a list of users from the database for the autocomplete. it sends it to the autocomplete method in the controller. Do you want me to post that method also? I need the ID to be passed to the model in the controller so it can post to the database.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
