Hi,

Many thanks for the article. You wouldn’t happen to have a sample application using this pattern would you? I’m just starting out, and this would certainly be helpful for me to play around with and learn from.

When I try this it updates the child elements with the data from the form but when I go to save it it thinks it is doing an insert instead of an update. Do you know how to fix that?

This doesnt work right for me.
When i update the model, in the DB it creates new childs with the new valor and the older childs gets its parent ID set to null, but they still exist in the DB.

Fantastic article! And quite timely; I’ve been struggling with this myself and am eager to try this out. One question, however. Is your code sample using the MVC Futures assembly? I wasn’t aware you could pass a lambda expression into the BeginForm helper (very nice). Thanks!
