MVC Model Object losing value

ok... I'm Stumped

    public ActionResult addSite(SiteViewModel aModel)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            siteID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
            aModel.siteId = siteID;

            AddSite2Azure();

            return RedirectToAction("manageProfile", "User");
        }
        else { return View(aModel); }
    }


    private void AddSite2Azure()
    {
        EmPmSiteEntity aSite = aEnty.AssetRegistry.CreateSite(new EmPmSiteEntity()
        {
            UserId = aUserId,
            Id = aModel.siteId,
            Name = aModel.siteName,
            ZipCode = aModel.siteZip,
        });
    }

When Debugging, aModel.siteID has a guid at the end of my actionResult. But when we get to the next method, the value of aModel.siteID is "null"

It appears as though you have two scopes for aModel - one at the class level (not shown in your code), and one at the method level (passed as a parameter to addSite(...)).

You're setting the value of the method-level variable in addSite(). To use this value in AddSite2Azure(), either pass the method-level aModel to AddSite2Azure(), or set the class-level aModel in addSite() by using this.aModel.
