ASP.NET MVC Post Collection CamelCase Serialization - asp.net-mvc-4

Question

XOn an ASP.NET MVC Website I´m posting a List of models, wrapped in a classe's property, by submitting a form.
When the "List propertys" name contains a
capital letter beside the first one, deserialization seems to fail when posting back, hence the List property of the wrapping class received as parameter in the controller method is null. If the propertie`s name doesn't contain any further capital letters all going fine.
For better comprehension I created an example with two wrapping classes Department & DepartmentX:
namespace CollectionPropertyCamelCase.Models
{
public class Employee
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
public class Department
{
public IList<Employee> Employees { get; set; }
}
public class DepartmentX
{
public IList<Employee> EmployeesX { get; set; }
}
}
namespace CollectionPropertyCamelCase.Controllers
{
public class DepartmentController : Controller
{
// ---> Works fine
public ActionResult Index()
{
var d = new Department()
{
Employees = new List<Employee>()
{
new Employee(){ Name = "Paul", Age = 35},
new Employee(){ Name = "Laura", Age = 27},
new Employee(){ Name = "John", Age = 99}
}
};
return View(d);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(Department d)
{
// All fine: Parameter d`s poperty Employees is an instance of
// List<Employee> conatining three instances of Employee
// providing the values as defined in Index().
return View(d);
}
// <--- Works fine
// ---> Doesn't work
public ActionResult IndexX()
{
var d = new DepartmentX()
{
// this is the troublemaker: Usage of 'X' in the propertyname
EmployeesX = new List<Employee>()
{
new Employee(){ Name = "Paul", Age = 35},
new Employee(){ Name = "Laura", Age = 27},
new Employee(){ Name = "John", Age = 99}
}
};
return View(d);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult IndexX(DepartmentX d)
{
// Not so fine: Parameter d`s poperty EmployeesX is null
return View(d);
}
// <--- Doesn't work
}
}
#* Index.cshtml *#
#model CollectionPropertyCamelCase.Models.Department
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<table>
#for (int i = 0; i < Model.Employees.Count; i ++)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.TextBoxFor(modelItem => Model.Employees[i].Name)
</td>
<td>
#Html.TextBoxFor(modelItem => Model.Employees[i].Age)
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
<input type="submit" />
}
#* IndexX.cshtml *#
#model CollectionPropertyCamelCase.Models.DepartmentX
#{
ViewBag.Title = "IndexX";
}
<h2>IndexX</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<table>
#for (int i = 0; i < Model.EmployeesX.Count; i++)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.TextBoxFor(modelItem => Model.EmployeesX[i].Name)
</td>
<td>
#Html.TextBoxFor(modelItem => Model.EmployeesX[i].Age)
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
<input type="submit" />
}
Does anyone have a clue how to influence deserialization, so camelcased propery names can be used at that place? Thanks in advance!
