EditorFor binding not working on form submit

[Karl]

The control manages to bind and show the value from my model, but when I submit the form, the model in my controller does not show the updated value from the editor.

 

I have tried using a normal @Html.EditorFor() and this works as expected. (ie I see the updated value)

 

 @model GeneralDisclosureEntity

@using (Html.BeginForm("GeneralDisclosureTextUpdate", "DataManagement", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{    

    <div hidden="hidden">
        @Html.EditorForModel()
    </div>
    
            
    @(Html.Kendo().EditorFor(m => m.HTML)
          .Name("Content")
          .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:100%;height:440px" })
          .Encode(false)
          .Tools(t => t.Clear()
              .Bold()
              .Italic()
              .Underline()
              .Strikethrough()
              .JustifyLeft()
              .JustifyCenter()
              .JustifyRight()
              .JustifyFull()
              .InsertUnorderedList()
              .InsertOrderedList()
              .Indent()
              .Outdent())
    )

    <br />

  <button id="btnSubmit3" type="submit" style="float:right")>Save Text</button>
    
}

Hello Karl,

I've noticed that the name of the widget is explicitly specified as "Content". This might cause issues with the model binding on the server-side, as the Controller method probably expects a field named "HTML". Generally speaking, all For helpers (e.g EditorFor, ComboBoxFor and etc) automatically assign a name to the widget, so manually doing that is not necessary. Removing the Name method from the widget's configuration should solve the issue.
