Listing 11-17. Explicitly Specifying an Action Method and Controller for a Form in the Edit.cshtml File
@model SportsStore.Domain.Entities.Product
@{
}
ViewBag.Title = "Admin: Edit " + @Model.Name;
Layout = "∼/Views/Shared/_AdminLayout.cshtml";
Edit @Model.Name
@using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", "Admin")) {
@foreach (var property in ViewData.ModelMetadata.Properties) {
if (property.PropertyName != "ProductID") {
@(property.DisplayName ??
property.PropertyName)
@if (property.PropertyName == "Description") {
@Html.TextArea(property.PropertyName, null,
new { @class = "form-control", rows = 5 })
} else {
@Html.TextBox(property.PropertyName, null,
new { @class = "form-control" })
}
@Html.ValidationMessage(property.PropertyName)
}
}
new {
}
@Html.ActionLink("Cancel and return to List", "Index", null,
})
@class = "btn btn-default"
Now the form will always be posted to the Edit action, regardless of which action rendered it. I can now create products by
clicking the Add a new product link and filling in the details, as shown in Figure 11-10.
