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

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Friend Function TryUpdateModel(Of TModel As Class) ( _
    model As TModel, _
    includeProperties As String() _
) As Boolean
protected internal bool TryUpdateModel<TModel>(
    TModel model,
    string[] includeProperties
)
where TModel : class
protected public:
generic<typename TModel>
where TModel : ref class
bool TryUpdateModel(
    TModel model, 
    array<String^>^ includeProperties
)

Type Parameters

  • TModel
    The type of the model object.

Parameters

  • model
    Type: TModel
    The model instance to update.
  • includeProperties
    Type: System.String[]
    A list of properties of the model to update.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the update is successful; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

The model parameter or the ValueProvider property is null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

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 TMode 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.
