    Hi Can't figure this out - hence the post :) I am using V7.8.1 so models builder is also installed and enabled. I have changed the mode to AppData to allow me to extend the models. This is all good I have a HomeTemp partial class

    {
        public string PetName
        {
            get;            set;
        }
    
        public string CallerName
        {
            get; set;
        }
    
    }
    

    Controller

    public class HomeTempSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        public ActionResult ShowForm(HomeTemp homeTemp)
        {
            homeTemp.PetName = "Fido";
            return PartialView(viewName: "HomeTempPartial", model: homeTemp);
        }
        public ActionResult HandleFormPost(string submitButton, HomeTemp homeTemp)
        {
            Session["CallerName"] = homeTemp.CallerName;
            Session["PetName"] = homeTemp.PetName;
    
            return Redirect(homeTemp.Start.Url);
        }
    }
    

    And a partial view

    @inherits UmbracoViewPage<HomeTemp>
    
    @using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<VFUmbraco.Controllers.HomeTempSurfaceController>("HandleFormPost"))
    {
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="container">
                <label for="CallerName">Caller Name:</label>@Html.EditorFor(x => x.CallerName)
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="container">
                <label for="PetName">Pet Name:</label>@Html.EditorFor(x => x.PetName)
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="container">
                <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
            </div>
        </div>
    }
    

    The page loads correctly with the textbox field PetName prepopulated with 'Fido'. Which can be edited and caller name can be added. The submit is posting the model to the controller but the model has null values for PetName and CallerName.

    Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks Alan

    Hi Alan

    What if you remove "submitButton" param from the action? Like that:

    public ActionResult HandleFormPost(HomeTemp homeTemp)

    Hi Alan,

    I wonder if it's because you're using EditorFor which will generate html for all fields in the model but you're specifying them individually.

    Change these to @Html.TextBoxFor and see if that solves it.

    HTH Steve

    Hi Steve

    Thanks, I'd started with .TextBoxFor and then found a post explaining EditorFor gives more functionality.

    Cheers Alan

    Hi I've got round it by using

    @using (Html.BeginForm("HandleFormPost", "HomeTempSurface"))
    

    and

    public ActionResult HandleFormPost( FormCollection homeTemp)
    

    far from ideal so if any kind person out there sees where I'm going wrong and can post a proper slution it would be appreciated.

    Thanks for reading this far and good luck.

    Wouldn’t mark it as a solution. There most be a way of using passing the edited data within the model. I’m missing something stupid. Cheers Alex Alan

    Hi Alan

    Sorry for marking the topic as solved.

    This code works for me:

    Veiw:

    using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<UmbRegisterController>("HandleRegisterMember"))
        {
            <fieldset>
                <legend>Register Member</legend>
    
                @Html.ValidationSummary("registerModel", true)
    
                @Html.LabelFor(m => registerModel.Name)
                @Html.TextBoxFor(m => registerModel.Name)
    }
    

    Controller:

    [HttpPost]
            public ActionResult HandleRegisterMember([Bind(Prefix = "registerModel")]RegisterModel model)
    {}
    

    /Alex

    Thanks again Alex. Issue appears to be related to the Models Builder which is now rolled into the Umbraco release, or to be more precise my use of models along with the builders generated models. If anyone else having this problem the solution is best explained at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41913529/how-to-post-a-custom-model-to-a-controller-in-umbraco-7-5-8 Thanks to Alex and Steve for replying.
