<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>I have a requirement to display data from two different model classes in a single view. Infact there are collection of data for this two models, i.e. the view is displaying multiple row data for the model classes. To show this, I have a viewmodel class which contains two list of models, and in my action method I am passing this viewmodel to the view. For displaying the data there is no issue. However, now the requirement is to edit both the table rows, on which I am having problems. Can you let me know how can I do this?</blockquote>

Quote:
here are my code samples -

Model 1 :

public class VendorDetails
{
[Key]
public int LEADSOURCEID { get; set; }
public string VENDORNAME { get; set; }
public string LEADSOURCEDESCRIPTION { get; set; }
public string LEADSOURCESUBFOLDER { get; set; }
public string LEADSOURCEIDENTIFYINGPHRASE { get; set; }
}

Model 2:

public class PhraseInformation
{
[Key,Column(Order =0)]
public int LEADSOURCEID { get; set; }
[Key, Column(Order = 1)]
public string LEADPHRASE { get; set; }
[Key, Column(Order = 2)]
public string LEADPHRASESEARCHAFTERPHRASE { get; set; }
public string LEADFIELD { get; set; }
public int LEADFIELDLENGTH { get; set; }
public Boolean LEADSTOPATEOL { get; set; }
}

ViewModel:

public class DetailsAndPhraseInformationViewModel
{
public List<vendordetails> DetailInformationList { get; set; }
public List<phraseinformation> PhraseInformationList { get; set; }
}

Action Method to display the lists-

public ActionResult Details(int? leadSourceId)
{
DetailsAndPhraseInformationViewModel _viewModel = new DetailsAndPhraseInformationViewModel();
VendorDetailsContext _VendorDetailsContext = new VendorDetailsContext();
_viewModel.DetailInformationList = _VendorDetailsContext.Vendors.Where(VendorDetails => VendorDetails.LEADSOURCEID.ToString().Equals(leadSourceId.ToString())).ToList();
_viewModel.PhraseInformationList = _VendorDetailsContext.Phrases.Where(p => p.LEADSOURCEID.ToString().Equals(leadSourceId.ToString())).ToList();
return View(_viewModel);
}

Details View -

@model AimcoWebPortal.Areas.VendorSetup.Models.DetailsAndPhraseInformationViewModel
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Details";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";

}
<!DOCTYPE html>

Details of Vendor Source and Phrases for - @Model.DetailInformationList.Single().VENDORNAME

@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { leadSourceId = Model.DetailInformationList.Single().LEADSOURCEID }) |
@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { leadSourceId = Model.DetailInformationList.Single().LEADSOURCEID }) |
@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "VendorDetails", new { vendorName = "" })

V E N D O R - S O U R C E

@foreach (var details in Model.DetailInformationList)
{

}

SOURCE DESCRIPTION
SOURCE SUB FOLDER
SOURCE IDENTIFYING PHRASE

@details.LEADSOURCEDESCRIPTION
@details.LEADSOURCESUBFOLDER
@details.LEADSOURCEIDENTIFYINGPHRASE

@{
if (Model.PhraseInformationList.Count() == 0)
{
No phrase information found for the vendor !!
}
else
{

L E A D - P H R A S E S

@foreach (var phrase in Model.PhraseInformationList)
{

}

LEAD PHRASE
LEAD PHRASE SEARCH AFTER PHRASE

@phrase.LEADPHRASE
@phrase.LEADPHRASESEARCHAFTERPHRASE

}
}

On Edit Click the page needs to redirect to a similar view with editable fields.

What I have tried:

<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Below is the action on edit button click - 

public ActionResult Edit(int? leadSourceId)
        {
            DetailsAndPhraseInformationViewModel _viewModel = new DetailsAndPhraseInformationViewModel();
            VendorDetailsContext _VendorDetailsContext = new VendorDetailsContext();
            _viewModel.DetailInformationList = _VendorDetailsContext.Vendors.Where(VendorDetails => VendorDetails.LEADSOURCEID.ToString().Equals(leadSourceId.ToString())).ToList();
            _viewModel.PhraseInformationList = _VendorDetailsContext.Phrases.Where(p => p.LEADSOURCEID.ToString().Equals(leadSourceId.ToString())).ToList();
            return View(_viewModel);
        }

Edit View -

@model AimcoWebPortal.Areas.VendorSetup.Models.DetailsAndPhraseInformationViewModel
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <link href="~/Content/Custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    @using (Html.BeginForm("Submit", "VendorSetup", FormMethod.Post))

            </h2>
            <section>

                @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "VendorDetails", new { vendorName = "" })

                    </table>

                }
            }

        </div>
                }
</body>
</html>

Action for Submit - 

public ActionResult Submit(DetailsAndPhraseInformationViewModel model)
        {
            VendorDetailsContext _VendorDetailsContext = new VendorDetailsContext();
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
	.........
                return Content("UPDATED");
            }
            else
            {
                return Content("UPDATE FAILED");
            }
        }

Now when the controller comes to this Submit method, I found the model is containing the two list DetailInformationList and PhraseInformationList as NULL.

I need help to solve this, I am not sure why these two lists are returning as NULL and what is the way to solve this. </blockquote>
