    <p>After trying around the whole day with model bindings, without results, i decided to ask here.</p> <p>I have got an asp.net razor view where a user (aka Seller) can edit his user details. Furthermore the user should be able to change his password.</p> <p>I made a ViewModel:</p> <pre><code>public class EditSellerViewModel { public Seller Seller { get; set; } public ChangePasswordModel ChangePasswordModel { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>My view has two forms which result in two "Submit" buttons. In my action i check which button was clicked. If the "Passwords" form has been submitted, i want to set the new Password in the Seller entity (that actually works) and SaveChanges() which does not change anything in the database (and does not throw any exception). It simply does nothing.</p> <p>Furthermore if the "Seller Detail" form was submitted, i want to save the sellers data. But TryUpdateModel is always false, even if i use the second parameter which enables the prefix for ViewModels.</p> <pre><code> [HttpPost] public ActionResult EditUser(string btnSubmit, FormCollection formValues, EditSellerViewModel editSellerViewModel) { int uid = baseFunc.GetIdForUsername(User.Identity.Name); var seller = bmDBCont.SellerSet.Single(s =&gt; s.Id == uid); if (btnSubmit == "saveSellerPassword") { seller.Password = editSellerViewModel.ChangePasswordModel.NewPassword; bmDBCont.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(seller, System.Data.EntityState.Modified); bmDBCont.SaveChanges(); //&lt;-- does nothing } if (TryUpdateModel(seller, "Seller")) //&lt;-- never true { bmDBCont.SaveChanges(); return RedirectToAction("Index"); } ViewBag.Titles = CommonListsProvider.GetTitles(); ViewBag.Countries = CommonListsProvider.GetCountries(); return View(editSellerViewModel); } </code></pre> <p>Here some debug info screenshots:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/oKINW.jpg" rel="nofollow">formcollection with seller form submitted</a></li> <li><a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/W59AR.jpg" rel="nofollow">formcollection with password form submitted</a></li> </ul> <p>Please can anyone help me?</p>

    2. COA good hint - if i send the SellerData form, `ModelState` contains one field that has an error - "password". Of course, the password field was removed from the SellerData form because its in the Password form. I thought if a field is not set in the request, the binding would not try to update it?

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
