I am new to ASP.Net and I am sure this is a very basic question. I have a employee crud views . In create view i was created viewModel to pass different two model . One Model display emloyee and another model connect to db and retrieve all departments to my view . But I can't retrieve data to my employee create controller area. Vs send this err Abc.Models.MyViewModel.Employee.get returned null. On Debug.Print(employee.Employee.Name) line.
Here my Models ;
Employee.cs
public class Employee
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Surname { get; set; }
[Required]
public string phoneNumber { get; set; }
public string Detail { get; set; }
//Bu kısımda veri tabanı ilişkisi 1 to many olacak
public int DepartmentId { get; set; }
public Department Department { get; set; }
}
Department.cs
public class Department
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string depName { get; set; }
public List<Employee> Employees { get; set; }
}
MyViewModel.cs
public class MyViewModel
{
public Employee Employee { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Department> departments { get; set; }
}
I added dropboxlist on my create.cshtml area with MyViewModel and i can't retrieve all data on my controller .
Here my EmployeeController.cs ;
// GET: Employee/Create
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Create()
{
MyViewModel viewModel = new MyViewModel();
Employee emp = new Employee();
viewModel.Employee = emp;
viewModel.departments = db.Departments;
return View(viewModel);
}
// POST: Employee/Create

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create(/*[Bind(Include = "Id,Name,Surname,phoneNumber,Department,Detail")]*/ MyViewModel employee)
{
//string emName = employee.Employee.Name;
Debug.Print(employee.Employee.Name);
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.Employees.Add(employee.Employee);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(employee);
}
Here Create.cshtml "this html codes are in @using (Html.BeginForm()");
