Saving data in database using View Model

Question

Hi,

 

Consider a scenario wherein I have 2 domain models say Customers and Orders and then there is a View Model CustomerOrderViewModel.

 

Now, I have a CreateOrder() method that accepts CustomerOrderViewModel as input parameter.

 

 

eg:-

 

   [HttpPost]

   public ActionResult CreateOrder(CustomerOrderViewModel input) 

{

      //code to save 

};

 Question:-  How do I save the data to these 2 domain entities from the view model? ie. the input parameter above will have the data of customers as well as orders however, I want to save the data related to Customers in the customers table where as the data related to Orders in orders table. How can I achieve this?

 

Thanks!
