I'm working on the following form
@using (Html.BeginForm("BusinessMedia", "SmallBusiness", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" })){
@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Business.BusinessID)
<div style="padding-right:850px">
@Html.Label(" ", "First Picture:")
<input type="file" name="BusinessPictures" id="FirstPicture" />
@Html.Label(" ", "Second Picture:")
<input type="file" name="BusinessPictures" id="SecondPicture" />
@Html.Label(" ", "Third Picture:")
<input type="file" name="BusinessPictures" id="ThirdPicture" />
@Html.Label(" ", "Fourth Picture:")
<input type="file" name="BusinessPictures" id="FourthPicture" />
@Html.Label(" ", "Fifth Picture:")
<input type="file" name="BusinessPictures" id="FifthPicture" />
@Html.Label(" ", "Video:")
<input type="file" name="BusinessVideo" id="Video" />
<div style="padding-left:40%; padding-bottom:63px;">
<p>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-info" value="Upload Media" />
</p>
</div>
</div>
}
and I cannot seem to understand why the BusinessID that is hidden in the form does not come through to the model in the controller. The files come through fine. This is the controller action.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult BusinessMedia(BusinessModel model, IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> BusinessPictures, HttpPostedFileBase BusinessVideo)
{
string VideoServerPath = Server.MapPath("~/videos/");
string ImageServerPath = Server.MapPath("~/images/");
if (model.SaveBusinessMedia(model, BusinessPictures, BusinessVideo, VideoServerPath, ImageServerPath))
return PartialView("PostRentalSuccess", model);
return PartialView("PostNewRental");
}
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
