    <p>I have a number of child ViewModel classes which inherit from an base ViewModel class.</p> <p>I pass my child ViewModel into my View, which then passes itself into a partial view. The main view takes the child type, but the partial view takes the Parent type.</p> <p>Everything displays correctly when I manually populate the properties. However, when I Submit the form, my controller action only has properties for the Child class - none of the base class properties are completed?</p> <p>e.g.</p> <pre><code>public abstract class BaseDetails { public string Name { get; set; } public BaseDetails() { } public BaseDetails(string name) { Name = name; } } public class LocalDetails:BaseDetails { public int Visits { get; set; } public LocalDetails() { } public LocalDetails(int visits, string name) :base(name) { Visits = visits; } } </code></pre> <p>With the View as simple as:</p> <pre><code>@using (Html.BeginForm()) { @Html.TextBoxFor(m =&gt; m.Visits) &lt;br /&gt; @Html.Partial("Name", Model) &lt;input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit" /&gt; } </code></pre> <p><em>The partial view has a single textbox on it.</em></p> <p>In IE: ViewSource shows the form tag is around both tetxboxes.</p> <p>However, when I submit to the controller method:</p> <pre><code>[HttpPost] public ActionResult EditLocal (LocalDetails model) </code></pre> <p>model.Visits is correctly populated, but model.Name is null?</p> <p>Any ideas? I added parameterless constructors to the classes because I got an exception upon submission if I didn't.</p>

    1. COJust for clarification: these are examples of the problem, my real classes/views are more complicated.

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.
