Question
I'll try to keep this short and concise.
I got my controller here...
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Edit(CustomObject myCustomObject)
{
...
}
Where myCustomObject looks great. But, if I want to save this using the entity framework, I need to do something like this...
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Edit(CustomObject myCustomObject)
{
CustomObject existingObject = repository.GetCustomObject(myCustomObject.ID);
// Set all the attributes of myCustomObject to existingObject
existingObject.SomeMapperFunction(myCustomObject)
repository.Save();
}
Is there a way I can keep from doing this mapping excersise?
Solution
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
CustomObject existingObject = repository.GetCustomObject(id);
TryUpdateModel(existingObject);
// You additionaly can check the ModelState.IsValid here
repository.Save();
}
