Autocomplete - Model not updated

[Nervia Consultores S.L.]

Hello
Comunity:

It’s the
first time that I use the “AutoCompleteFor” of Kendo MVC Razor.

The
“AutoCompleteFor” works correctly but when I call to Create Function, the Model
not recognized the selected value in the AutoComplete.

Someone can
help me?

AutoComplete:

@(Html.Kendo().AutoCompleteFor(model => model.CountryCode)
                    .Name("acCountry")
                    .DataTextField("ISO")
                    .DataSource(ds =>
                    {
                        ds.Read(read =>
                        {
                            read.Action("GetCountriesForAutoComplete", "Country")
                                .Data("onAdditionalData");
                        })
                        .ServerFiltering(true);
                    })
                )

<script>
        $.validator.unobtrusive.parse("#CreateRegionForm");
        //$('#CreateRegionForm').kendoValidator();
        function onAdditionalData() {
            return {
                text: $("#acCountry").val()
            };
        }

    </script>

Autocomplete Read:

public ActionResult GetCountriesForAutoComplete(string text)
        {
            text = text.ToUpper();
            var result = FwdManager.Country.GetAll()
                .Where(p => p.ISO.Contains(text) || p.NameEsp.Contains(text))
                .Select(s => new DtoCountry()
                                            {
                                                Id = s.Id,
                                                ISO = s.ISO,
                                                NameEsp = s.NameEsp,
                                                NameEng = s.NameEng,
                                                Observations = s.Observations,
                                                PAIS_UNION_EUROPEA = s.PAIS_UNION_EUROPEA,
                                                Active = s.Active
                                            });

            return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }

Create Method:

[HttpPost]
        public JsonResult Create(Region region)
        {//region.CountryCode is null!!!!
            JsonResult jsonOutput = null;
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                try
                {
                    ConvertToUpperCase(region.GetType(), region);
                    CheckKeyFields(region);
                    FwdManager.Region.Insert(region);
                    FwdManager.Commit();
                    jsonOutput = Json(new { success = true });
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    jsonOutput = ErrorJson(ex);
                }

            else
            {
                jsonOutput = ErrorJson(ModelState);
            }
            return jsonOutput;
        }

I do not know if you understand me.My question is how I can run the "AutoComplete" in the POST method and the "CountryCode" the object already filled when the receiver.
I know how to receive it with the action "Request.Params" but I think the most "correct"

Hello Roberto,

Either remove the .Name("acCountry")  (so it will be automatically generated to be the same as the name of the property) that you specified or name it the same way as the name of the property .Name("CountryCode")
