How do you bind on an edit form?

[Myles]

I have an edit view for a particular model.  The view contains the following Kendo autocomplete control code:

 @(Html.Kendo().AutoCompleteFor(model => model.Location).Placeholder("Please select a value")
               .Name("locationAutoComplete").BindTo((IEnumerable<LocationData>)ViewData["locationList"])
               .DataTextField("Name")) //Specifies which property of the Product to be used by the autocomplete.
               ;

The drop down auto complete is working.  However, existing values on the model (Location property) are not bound to the control.  When I open up an existing record in edit mode the autocomplete control is empty, even if the underlying Location property on the model has a value.  How does this control handle binding?

Hello,

The name is overridden with the Name method so the value will not be bound to a field named Location but locationAutoComplete. Removing the name should resolve the problem.

Kind regards,
