I am trying to build a employee attendance sheet.
Here is my AttendanceModel

public class AttendanceModel 
{
    //Primary Key and auto-generated field for this model
    public int AttendanceID { get; set; }

    public DateTime AttendanceDate { get; set; }

    //Present/Absent status
    public bool Status { get; set;}

    //Primary key of Employee Model
    public int EmployeeID { get; set; }

    //Reference to Employee Model
    public Employee Employee { get; set; }

}

Now I want this model to make a View containing employeeId(Hidden field) , Name of Employee and a checkbox for attendance.
My problem is (Edited on 3rd day)

1. Should i have to use a different ViewModel for this view
2. How to insert the information from view to the entity and ultimately to databse as it require more than one row to be inserted in the database (i.e Batch Processing)
3. I am also not getting how to retrieve the information from the view to do processing

Any suggestion is appreciable. :)
Thanks in Advance !!!
*EDIT (What i have tried) * 1. I have created another class AttendanceViewModel containing all the field of AttendanceModel except the reference to Employee model class. then in view I render it. In the controller the argument is IEnumerable<AttendanceViewModel> and from it populate the Attendance Model. Here is the code.

public ActionResult Index()
    {            
        var EmployeeAttendance = from s in new EmployeeDBContext().Employees
                                select new AttendanceViewModel
                                {
                                    EmployeeID = s.EmployeeID
                                };
        return View(EmployeeAttendance.ToList());
    }

主计长为节省记录而采取的行动

 [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult SaveAttendance(IEnumerable<AttendanceViewModel> attendancess)    // argument of SaveAttendance is always `null`
    {

            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                var _context = new EmployeeDBContext();

                foreach (var a in attendancess)
                {
                    var newAttendance = new AttendanceModel
                    {
                        EmployeeID = a.EmployeeID,
                        AttendanceStatus = a.Status
                    };

                    _context.Attendance.Add(newAttendance);

                }
                _context.SaveChanges();
            }
           //Rest of code

但是,其并非工作理由总是null:
