AntiForgeryToken gets lost in editing custom editor

[Heiko]

Hi!

I'm new to MVC4 and thus built some little demo including a Kendo UI Grid and a partial view which serves as a custom editor. Everything works perfect except that the AntiForgeryToken gets lost on the way.

This is my definition of the grid:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
    .Name("grdProducts")
    .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(p => p.Name);
            columns.Bound(p => p.ProductType);
            columns.Bound(p => p.SellStartDate);
            columns.Bound(p => p.SellEndDate);
            columns.Command(command => command.Edit()).Width(160);
        })
    .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())
    .Editable(editable => editable
        .Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp)
        .DisplayDeleteConfirmation(true)
        .TemplateName("ProductEditor")
        .Window(w => w
            .Width(700)
            .Title("Edit Product")))
    .Pageable(pa => pa.Numeric(false).PageSizes(new [] {5,10,20}))
    .Scrollable(scr => scr.Height(430).Virtual(false))
    .Selectable(selectable => selectable.Mode(GridSelectionMode.Single))
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .AutoSync(false)
        .Batch(false)
        .PageSize(20)
        .ServerOperation(false)
        .Model(model =>
            {
                model.Id(p => p.Id);
                model.Field(p => p.Id).Editable(false);
                model.Field(p => p.CategoryName).Editable(false);
                model.Field(p => p.ProductType).DefaultValue((int)ProductTypeEnum.Cameras);
            })
        .Create(create => create.Action("EditingCreate", "Product"))
        .Read(read => read.Action("EditingRead", "Product"))
        .Update(update => update.Action("EditingUpdate", "Product"))
    )
)

And this is the start of my partial view named "ProductEditor.cshtml" saved in subdir "EditorTemplates":

@model _ProductStore.Infrastructure.Models.Products.Product

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
}

@using (Html.BeginForm())

{

    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

 

    <fieldset>

... all labels and fields...

    </fieldset>

}

The popup opens as it should and everything works fine except that the hidden input for AntiForgeryToken looks like this:

<input name="__RequestVerificationToken" type="hidden" data-bind="value:__RequestVerificationToken" value=""/>

In other words: the value is empty. Placing the AntiForgeryToken helper somewhere else in my views it is working perfectly.

What am I doing wrong?
