Post Multiple Data from View to Controller MVC - asp.net-mvc

Question

I want to post quantity property to Controller (It's an edit action). I'm editing OrderedProductSet which is connected with ProductSet in my SQL Database (I get the name and price from there). How to pass multiple data from the view to controller? How to write method in controller class to receive the data (I'm asking about method arguments in this specific case).
My view:
#model Shop.Models.ProductViewModel#{
ViewBag.Title = "Edycja zamówienia";
}
<h2>Edycja zamówienie</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>
<b>Nazwa produktu</b>
</th>
<th>
<b>Cena</b>
</th>
<th>
<b>Ilość</b>
</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model.orderedProductSet)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.ProduktSet.name)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.ProduktSet.price)
</td>
<td>
#Html.EditorFor(model => item.quantity, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Potwierdź zmiany" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
}
<div>
#Html.ActionLink("Powrót", "Index")
</div>
#section Scripts {
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
My model (in separated classes of course):
public class ProductViewModel
{
public OrderSet orderSet { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<OrderedProductSet> orderedProduktSet { get; set; }
}
public partial class OrderedProduktSet
{
public int orderNumber{ get; set; }
public int productNumber { get; set; }
public int ilosc { get; set; }
public virtual ProduktSet ProduktSet { get; set; }
public virtual OrderSet OrderSet { get; set; }
}

You need to construct controls for you collection in a for loop or use a custum EditorTemplate for OrderedProduktSet so that the controls are correctly named with indexers and can be bound on post back. Note the for loop approach required that the collection be IList.
#model Shop.Models.ProductViewModel
#using(Html.BeginForm())
{
....
for(int i = 0; i < Model.orderedProductSet.Count; i++)
{
#Html.DisplayFor(m => m.orderedProductSet[i].ProduktSet.name)
....
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.orderedProductSet[i].quantity, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
}
<input type="submit" />
}
Controller (the model will be bound, including the collection of OrderedProductSet)
public ActionResult Edit(ProductViewModel model)
{
....
}
Alternatively, you can create an EditorTemplate
/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/OrderedProduktSet.cshtml
#model OrderedProduktSet
#Html.DisplayFor(m => m.ProduktSet.name)
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.quantity, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
and in the main view
#model Shop.Models.ProductViewModel
#using(Html.BeginForm())
{
....
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.orderedProductSet)
<input type="submit" />
}

Viewbag is your friend here. You normally pass data from View to Controller in MVC. You can access data set in a Viewbag in the controller in your View.
The simplest way to let your controller handle your view is to create an actionresult method in your controller with the same name as your view.
For example, your view is called Index, thus you would have the following method in your controller to handle the view data:
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
Accessing a list:
Use a Viewbag.
Controller
Viewbag.MyList = myList
View
#foreach (var item in Viewbag.MyList)
