    <p>These are the classes of my model:</p> <pre><code>/// &lt;summary&gt; /// States the base implementation for all document lines in a purchasing module. /// &lt;/summary&gt; public class DocumentLine : Keyed { /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Document number of the document line. /// &lt;/summary&gt; [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Resources.ApplicationResources), Name = "DocumentNumber")] public string DocumentNumber { get; set; } ... } </code></pre> <p>And:</p> <pre><code>/// &lt;summary&gt; /// Defines a line of a Delivery Note document. /// &lt;/summary&gt; [MetadataType(typeof(DeliveryNoteLineMetadata))] public class DeliveryNoteLine : DocumentLine { ... /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Internal class for metadata. /// &lt;/summary&gt; internal class DeliveryNoteLineMetadata { /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Adds the RequiredAttribute to the inherited DocumentNumber property. /// &lt;/summary&gt; [Required] public string DocumentNumber { get; set; } } } </code></pre> <p>Here part of the Edit.cshtml's View code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="display-label"&gt; @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.DocumentNumber) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; @Html.TextBoxFor(model =&gt; model.DocumentNumber, new { @placeholder = @ApplicationResources.DocumentNumber }) &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is my controller's method</p> <pre><code>/// &lt;summary&gt; /// Handles the POST event for the Edit action, updating an existing TEntity object. /// &lt;/summary&gt; /// &lt;param name="id"&gt;Id of the TEntity object to update.&lt;/param&gt; /// &lt;param name="model"&gt;TEntity object with properties updated.&lt;/param&gt; /// &lt;returns&gt;Redirection to the Index action if succeeded, the Edit View otherwise.&lt;/returns&gt; [HttpPost] public virtual ActionResult Edit(string id, TEntity model) { var request = new RestSharp.RestRequest(Resource + "?id={id}", RestSharp.Method.PUT) { RequestFormat = RestSharp.DataFormat.Json } .AddParameter("id", id, RestSharp.ParameterType.UrlSegment) .AddBody(model); var response = Client.Execute(request); // Handle response errors HandleResponseErrors(response); if (Errors.Length == 0) return RedirectToAction("Index"); else { ViewBag.Errors = Errors; return View(model); } } </code></pre> <p>This is not working. The value for the property DocumentNumber of the DocumentLine object doesn't change and It's being hard to me to understand how the MVC4 controller work inside.</p> <p>Any advice? </p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>

    1. COAre you posting the changed values back to your controller method? If so what does your controller method look like?

    2. COCan you please check in your output HTML what is the ID and Name properties of that textbox? MVC maps the Entity passed on to the controller through these names. If the name is wrong it might be that you need to set it up manually in the CSHTML.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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