Namespace:  System.Web.Mvc
Assembly:  System.Web.Mvc (in System.Web.Mvc.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Friend Sub UpdateModel(Of TModel As Class) ( _
    model As TModel, _
    prefix As String, _
    includeProperties As String(), _
    excludeProperties As String() _
)
protected internal void UpdateModel<TModel>(
    TModel model,
    string prefix,
    string[] includeProperties,
    string[] excludeProperties
)
where TModel : class
protected public:
generic<typename TModel>
where TModel : ref class
void UpdateModel(
    TModel model, 
    String^ prefix, 
    array<String^>^ includeProperties, 
    array<String^>^ excludeProperties
)

Type Parameters

  • TModel
    The type of the model object.

Parameters

  • model
    Type: TModel
    The model instance to update.
  • prefix
    Type: System.String
    A prefix to use when looking up values in the value provider.
  • includeProperties
    Type: System.String[]
    A list of properties of the model to update.
  • excludeProperties
    Type: System.String[]
    A list of properties to explicitly exclude from the update. These are excluded even if they are listed in the includeProperties list.

Remarks

You do not have to explicitly specify the generic parameter TModel. Instead, you can let the C# or Visual Basic type inference engine determine the generic parameter TModel by omitting it.

The TryUpdateModel method is like the UpdateModel method except that the TryUpdateModel method does not throw an InvalidOperationException exception if the updated model state is not valid.
