I am trying to access model name using multiple view as a parent model. The problem now i want to access them one by one as TextBoxFor(model=>model.having its name not property object name)

What I have tried:

// Parent Model Name

public List<Incident_NameDropDown> NameList { get; set; }

// Model Name called

public class Incident_NameDropDown
  {
      public string Title { get; set; }


      public string Description { get; set; }
  }

// View to access model name

<fieldset>
    @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
    {
    <div class="editor-label">

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.NameList)// This prints name like Title now it prints NameList and this is wrong and confusing

    </div>


    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model=>model.NameList)
    </div>
    }
</fieldset>

Solution 1

Iterate through the list and display a field for each item.

Razor

@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
    for (int index = 0; index < NameList.Count; index++)
    {
        <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(m => m.NameList[index].Description, Model.NameList[index].Title)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(m => m.NameList[index].Description)
        </div>
    }
}

@Richard thanks, Namelist when i used this code is complaining that it does not exist in current context. Inside the loop itself, do i need to change that it seems its outside the scope.

Complaining that what does not exist?

I think you need to go back to the start, and explain what your @model type is, and precisely what you are trying to do.
