How to add multiple objects to a asp.net mvc form

So I am building an application where employees of a company have to be able to make orders for clients.

In my application I have a product class like this

public string Name { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public decimal Price { get; set; } public string Image { get; set; } public int Stock { get; set; } public int ID { get; set; }

    public Product(string name, string description, string image, int stock, decimal price,int id)
    {
        this.Name = name;
        this.Description = description;
        this.Image = image;
        this.Stock = stock;
        this.Price = price;
        this.ID = id; 
    }

the order class looks like this

public class Order { public List<Product> Products { get; set; } public int OrderID { get; } public int Price { get; set; } public Employee Salesman { get; set; } public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; } public int Payback { get; set; }

    public Order(List<Product> products, int orderid, int price,Employee salesman,DateTime orderDate,int payback)
    {
        this.Products = products;
        this.OrderID = orderid;
        this.Price = price;
        this.Salesman = salesman;
        this.OrderDate = orderDate;
        this.Payback = payback;
    }

    public Order()
    {

    }

in the order there is a list of products, however I just can't figure out how select all products in my databse and add the abilty to create a dropdown in my form where the user can just click on a product in the dropdown and it gets added to the product list any help would be much appreciated

Your questions are about database and form, but you didn't include those code portions.

  • How are you connecting to your database? Are you using Entity Framework?
  • Where's the form code?
