Binding Entity Framework Collections Simply Using ASP.NET MVC?

Steve Sanderson wrote a nice blog post which should be helpful for your scenario.

I agree, I have read and implemented that post for models within my web project. However, I want to use the entity framework models where possible. – jpcmorton Apr 27 '10 at 1:45.

To begin with: Using Entity Framework v4.0. ASP.NET MVC 2.0. Visual Studio 2010.

I have a model that consists simply of an order & order items. What I want to do is simply bind that model without too much hassle where possible (avoiding type converters, etc). This is as simple as I want to keep it.

This model is coming directly from the code generated by the entity framework generator. I would prefer to use the model directly from the entity framework (I know there are views saying this is a bad thing, but alas). What I want to do is have a situation where I can use dynamic line items (using javascript).

How to go about inserting the initial line item (within the lineItems div). This need to be strongly typed and use the built in validation framework of MVC. Best way to go about inserting line items dynamically so that on the postback there is a complete bind to the model without too much messing around (id = 1,2,3,4, etc).

Any help, examples, tips, etc would be appreciated.

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.
