    <p>I'm stil new to ASP.net MVC3 and i'm trying to create a selectable list of items that can be added to a user. So the Get method looks like</p> <pre><code> public ViewResult AddFavourite(int id) { ViewBag.UserId = id; var movies = (from m in db.Movies select new SelectableMovie() { Movie = m }); return View(movies.ToList()); } </code></pre> <p>and the view looks like</p> <pre><code>@using MovieManager.Models @model List&lt;SelectableMovie&gt; @using (Html.BeginForm("AddFavourite", "Users", new { userId = ViewBag.UserId, movies = Model }, FormMethod.Post)) { &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt; Add &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; Title &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; Description &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; ReleaseDate &lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; @foreach (var item in Model) { &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.CheckBoxFor(modelItem =&gt; item.Selected) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =&gt; item.Movie.Title) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =&gt; item.Movie.Description) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =&gt; item.Movie.ReleaseDate) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; } &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Add Favourites" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; } </code></pre> <p>This displays the list as intended but when i post back to the controller i get a userId but the movies parameter is an empty list. How do i get the model used in the view back to the controller to be used in the Post Action? The Post action looks like this</p> <pre><code> [HttpPost] public ActionResult AddFavourite(int userId, List&lt;SelectableMovie&gt; movies) { User user = db.Users.Single(u =&gt; u.ID == UserId); //add items here return View("Details", user); } </code></pre>

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.
