Never mind. I figured it out.

I can’t find the database in the sample code. I see the NHibernate configuration below, but no MDF file or code to generate the database.
server=.sqlexpress;database=HeadspringExample;Integrated Security=true;

FYI: I also posted this question to StackOverflow, I think, this could interest quite some people:

Thanks!
Let me get this right: The States property of the Model is null (or an empty List or just contains the id for the selected State) and then the StateBuilder gets the States from the repository and builds the list? Or if I’m wrong with my assumptions, how come the States into the edit model?

Are you using FluentHtml here? Or Input Builders? It’s the next thing I want to take a look at

@Dave @Larry

This one’s actually a pretty tough question. It really depends on what information is needed to build the list. We often try to build this list in the view, with something like:

InputFor(x => x.States).SelectListBuilder();

Just watched your presentation – absolutely great! I just went to implement some of your ideas into my current project.

Just one question: How would you handle/create EditModels that needs some other information like data for a select list or the actual User? The AutoMapViewResult is a great idea and I’d like to take this approach. But there are many EditModels I have that use additional data. You got an example?

By the way: thanks for writing on this blog, your articles are very inspiring

Question: How do you handle models that need a select list? Do you make an extra call from the view?

Agreed, great examples as always. I’ve learned a lot since I stumbled across the blog. Thanks for taking the time to write these.

I agree completely with Troy, your presentation was very good and insightful. I will be reading the provided code very diligently to steal all your ideas.
