Pablo Romeo was right, i added a default ctor and it worked.

Question
I have some problem posting a form with 'complex type' model:
I have a Model:
public class CircleEditViewModel
{
[Key]
public int CircleId { get; set; }
[Required]
[MaxLength(100)]
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool IsSystem { get; set; }
public class UserInCircle
{
public UserInCircle(User user)
{
this.UserId = user.UserId;
FullName = user.FullName;
}
public int UserId { get; set; }
public byte[] Picture { get; set; }
public string FullName { get; set; }
public bool isInCircle { get; set; }
}
public List<UserInCircle> Users { get; set; }
}
My first problem was that at post event, my Users where null.. so i followed a few posts on here (like MVC- Model Binding on a Complex Type) to use a for instead of a foreach,but since i did so, my form won't post anymore:
View:
@model Wims.Website.ViewModels.CircleEditViewModel
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse('form');
});
</script>
@using (Ajax.BeginForm(Html.ViewContext.RouteData.Values["Action"].ToString(), null, new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", OnSuccess = "SaveDone(data)" }, new { id = "editform" }))
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<fieldset>
<legend>Circle</legend>
@Html.Label(DateTime.Now.ToString());
<div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
</div>
</fieldset>
if (Model.Users != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < Model.Users.Count; i++)
{
<div class="userDetail">
<div>
<div>
@Html.DisplayFor(model => Model.Users[i].isInCircle);
</div>
<div class="iconDiv">
@Html.Image("~/Content/Images/defaultUser.jpg", Model.Users[i].FullName, null);
</div>
<div>
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => Model.Users[i].FullName)
@Html.HiddenFor(model => Model.Users[i].UserId)
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
}
}
@Html.GenerateSecureDataControls(model => model.CircleId)
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
}
My view is rendered as a partial loaded thru ajax (not sure it makes any difference here). Any idea why it won't post? If i remove all the '[]' like 'Users[0].FullName' to Users0.FullName i will post, but of course it won't be bound.
Thanks for your help
Edit just in case needed: Action:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(CircleEditViewModel circleData, FormCollection collection)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
using (var logic = new CircleLogic())
{
Circle circle = logic.GetCircleById(circleData.CircleId, WebMatrix.WebData.WebSecurity.CurrentUserId);
if (circle == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
else
{
circle.Name = circleData.Name;
logic.UpdateCircle(circle, GetSelectedUser(collection));
}
return PartialView("_CircleAndUsers", GetData(logic, circle.CircleId));
}
}
return this.Json(new { success = false, viewdata = RenderRazorViewToString("_CircleAndUsers", circleData) });
}
