MVC 6 Can't Save New Row to Database

[Cody S]

I'm having issues using MVC6, Entity Framework 7, and the latest SyncFusion files. When I insert a new row, I hit the breakpoint in my insert method in the controller. In the web, the new row data is getting passed as JSON, but when it hits my insert method, the parameter is empty instead of containing the new row info JSON. Any ideas?

View:
        @{Html.EJ().Grid<ToDo>("ToDoItemGrid")
                .AllowPaging()
                .EditSettings(edit => { edit.AllowAdding().AllowDeleting().AllowEditing().EditMode(EditMode.Dialog).ShowDeleteConfirmDialog(); })
                .ShowColumnChooser()
                .EnableAltRow()
                .ToolbarSettings(toolbar =>
                {
                    toolbar.ShowToolbar().ToolbarItems(items =>
                    {
                        items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Add);
                        items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Edit);
                        items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Delete);
                        items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Update);
                        items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Cancel);
                        items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Search);
                        items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.PrintGrid);
                    });

                })
                .Columns(col =>
                {
                    col.Field("ToDoItem").HeaderText("To Do").TextAlign(TextAlign.Left).Width(100).Add();
                    col.Field("DueDate").HeaderText("Due Date").Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").TextAlign(TextAlign.Left).Width(25).EditType(EditingType.Datepicker).Add();
                    col.Field("IsImportant").HeaderText("Important").TextAlign(TextAlign.Left).Width(25).EditType(EditingType.Boolean).Add();

                })
                .Datasource(ds => ds.Json(ViewBag.Model).InsertURL(@insertUrl).RemoveURL(@removeUrl).Adaptor(AdaptorType.RemoteSaveAdaptor))
                .Render();
            }

Controller:
        public ActionResult Insert(ToDo value)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                _repository.AddTodo(value);
            }

            var toDoItems = _repository.GetAllItems();

            return Json(toDoItems);
        }

Thanks!

Any ideas what I might be missing?

Hi Cody,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

To get the row information in the parameter, we suggest you to mention the

[FromBody]

 attribute in your controller action.

Please find the code example:

public IActionResult NormalUpdate([FromBody]Orders value)

{

}

Unfortunately with [FromBody], the parameter is still null. The only way so far I've been able to get some sort of result is to use  public ActionResult Insert([FromBody]dynamic value), but I don't think using "dynamic" instead of my model is ideal. Any other suggestions?

I'm stuck as to why the json is getting posted in the web, but null in the controller when passed in as a parameter.

Thanks!
Cody
