The [Overload:System.Web.Mvc.Controller.TryUpdateModel``1] method is like the [Overload:System.Web.Mvc.Controller.UpdateModel``1] method except that the [Overload:System.Web.Mvc.Controller.TryUpdateModel``1] method does not throw an InvalidOperationException exception if the updated model state is not valid.

Use one of the [Overload:System.Web.Mvc.Controller.TryUpdateModel``1] methods that takes either a list of properties to include (a whitelist) or a list of properties to exclude (a blacklist). If no explicit whitelist or blacklist is passed, the [Overload:System.Web.Mvc.Controller.TryUpdateModel``1] method tries to update every public property in the model for which there is a corresponding value in the request. A malicious user could exploit this in order to update properties that you do not intend to provide access to. |
