Submit Data from partial view to a controller MVC

Question

I have a list of employment records, you can also add an employment record from the same page using a partial view. Heres employment.cshtml that has a partial view for the records list and a partial view to add a new record which appears in a modal pop up. ```

Employment Records

@{Html.RenderPartial("_employmentlist", Model);}

Add New Record

``` Heres the partial view _AddEmployment.cshtml ``` @using (Html.BeginForm("AddEmployment, Application")) { @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.employerName)

etc....etc....

} ``` and heres my Application controller: ```…

Accepted Answer

Answer 1: First try this and let me know if that hits your controller.

```
 @using (Html.BeginForm("AddEmployment", "Application", FormMethod.Post))
```

Answer 2: To update the employment list, I would assume you would want to save the model to your database then have your employment list displayed on the same page or a different page calling the data from the DB into the the list or table to be displayed.

Edit: It looks as though your form attributes are not being applied. For your employment.cshtml, I personally don't use { } around my @Html statements. You must not be doing what I stated above because your error occurs only when I write it as

```
 @using (Html.BeginForm("AddEmployment, Application", FormMethod.Post))
```

missing those closing quotes is what is causing your problem.
