MVC :: 2 NerdDinner - Data No Longer Saves After Adding ViewModel

I am creating the NerdDinner application via the Professional ASP.NET MVC 2 book, and once I got to the ViewModel part (pages 88-91), I noticed none of my data was saving any longer. I discovered several errors and areas of confusion in these pages of the book, which I will list now.

Page 88: When it says to add the DinnerFormViewModel class, it doesn't say what folder to add it to. On page 89, the Inherits example (NerdDinner.Controllers.DinnerFormViewModel) implies it was added to the Controllers folder, but if that were so, the code on page 88 would need to use Models.Dinner instead of just Dinner. No big deal; just put it in Models and change the Inherit statement on page 89 to use NerdDinner.Models.DinnerFormViewModel.

Page 89: At the bottom of the page is some wrong code. Since the properties of Dinner are now one level deeper, all references to m.Title, m.Country, etc, need to be m.Dinner.Title, m.Dinner.Country, etc. The statements above the code are also incorrect ("Notice... we are not changing the names of the input elements... the form elements will still be named...") -- the form elements will actually change from "Title", "Country", etc to "Dinner_Title", "Dinner_Country", etc.

Page 90 (Code Snippet 1-53): This was the one that broke the data saving. Now that the form elements have prefixes, the TryUpdateModel(dinner) needs to pass a prefix, like TryUpdateModel(dinner, "Dinner"). This will append "Dinner_" to the element names so that they can be found on the form.
