    <p>The Problem:</p> <p>When I submit the form I am losing any information entered into the edit templates for the addresses.</p> <p>I have the following model:</p> <pre><code>public class MoveRecord { public Address StartPoint { get; set; } public Address EndPoint { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Where Address is defined as:</p> <pre><code>public class Address { public String City { get; set;} public String State { get; set; } public String Line1{ get; set; } public String PostalCode { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Here is my action method:</p> <pre><code>[HttpPost] public ActionResult Edit(MoveRecord model) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { //Save info } return View(model); } </code></pre> <p>My edit view uses:</p> <pre><code>using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", "Move", FormMethod.Post)) { @Html.EditorFor(m =&gt; m.StartPoint); @Html.EditorFor(m =&gt; m.EndPoint); &lt;input type="submit" value="Save" /&gt; } </code></pre> <p>My edit template is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table class="form address"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th style="width: 200px;"&gt; @Html.LabelFor(m =&gt; m.Line1): &lt;/th&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.TextBoxFor(m =&gt; m.Line1, new { style = "width: 300px;" }) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr id="zip"&gt; &lt;th&gt; @Html.LabelFor(m =&gt; m.PostalCode): &lt;/th&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.TextBoxFor(m =&gt; m.PostalCode, new { style = "width: 150px;" }) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr id="city"&gt; &lt;th&gt; @Html.LabelFor(m =&gt; m.City): &lt;/th&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.TextBoxFor(m =&gt; m.City, new { style = "width: 150px;" }) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr id="state"&gt; &lt;th&gt; @Html.LabelFor(m =&gt; m.StateProvince): &lt;/th&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.TextBoxFor(m =&gt; m.StateProvince, new { style = "width: 150px;" }) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>Everything renders just fine, however when I submit the form the model that I get in the action method does not contain any information entered into the address field. If I move everything into the same view then it works just fine but what I would like is to be able to use the editor templates to keep my views easy to read. <strong>How can I get the data from the editor template correctly bound to the model?</strong></p> <p>Edit: Posted my action method</p>

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.
