Question about ASP.NET MVC & a form post using HTTP-POST

Question

I've got a standard ASP.NET MVC form post.

eg.

<% using (Html.BeginForm<CommentController>(c => c.Create())) { %>    
..
<% } %>

(and in the controller)

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Create(Comment comment)
{ .. }

Now, how can i make it so that i IGNORE certain values, like the ID or CreatedOn properties, that might exist in the Comment object?

Is there a way i can define an exclusion/black list?

Use the BindAttribute with the Exclude tag

public ActionResult Create( [Bind(Exclude="ID, CreatedOn")]Comment comment )
{
}

Awesome Tvanfosson :) I'm also assuming that an Include property is valid, for whitelisting?

Opps. soz. Tvanfosson - i missed your MSDN link. The members page (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…) lists the 4 properties. sweet. Include is one and of course Prefix which is also very handy. cheers mate!

Whatever inputs you have within your form HTML will be passed in with the submission by default.

Sorry I don't have an answer off the top of my head, but I'd start by looking into some possible jQuery plugins and/or some AJAX filtering mechanisms.
