Losing data in models and collections inside the ViewModel on postback?

It looks like you have a couple of problems here. One probable reason why the orders arg is null in your action method is because it doesn't look like you are rendering any input elements. You just have Html.

Encode(item. LOCNAME) .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
