Asp.net MVC does not display the template editing

Question

I have the classes:

public class PersonDetailsModel
{
    public string FistName
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public string LastName
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public string Email
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}

public class RegisterCoupleModel
{
    public PersonDetailsModel Groom
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public PersonDetailsModel Bride
    {
        get;
        set;
    }


    public string UrlKeyword
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public string ReCaptcha
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}

folder Shared > EditorTemplates

PersonDetailsModel.cshtml

@model BindSolution.AndMarried.ViewModel.PersonDetailsModel

<div class="editor-label">
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.FistName)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">     
    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.FistName)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.FistName)
</div>

<div class="editor-label">
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.LastName)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">     
    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.LastName)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.LastName)
</div>

<div class="editor-label">
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">     
    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.Email)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Email)
</div>

In my View:

@Html.EditorForModel()

Only the UrlKeyword and ReCapcha fields are displayed!

Why Asp.net MVC not use templantes in shared folder to display my nested type PersonDetailsModel ?

Answer 1

You know, you could have just edited your other question. :)

Anyway, i don't think that will work. You either need to control the entire template yourself, or let MVC do it all itself. (i could be wrong)

Create an editor template for RegisterCoupleModel:

@model BindSolution.AndMarried.ViewModel.RegisterCoupleModel

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Groom)
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Bride)
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UrlKeyword)
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.ReCapcha)

Or you could use a [UIHint("PersonDetailsModel"] attribute on your Groom and Bride properties in your ViewModel.

Read up on the remarks section in EditorForModel for how this all works.
