How to insert multiple RadioButtonFor value into database - asp.net

Question

I want to insert 3 value of radio button into Database using MVC.
User need to select one material for each categories(Walls,Roof,Floor)
Currently the user can only select one value (may need to do grouping).But when I do grouping only the structInfo value is inserted into database. I need all the 3 value inserted into database.
This is how the database design look like
the struct inf(walls,roof,floor) the materialinfo is (bricks.concrete,woods, etc)
So can I make all the 3 value choosed by user save into database?
This is my view
#foreach (var structIN in Model.structInfo)
{
if (structIN.structId.Equals(1))
{
#Html.Label(structIN.structNm) #:
foreach (var material in Model.materialInfo)
{
if (material.materialId.Equals(1) || material.materialId.Equals(2) || material.materialId.Equals(3))
{
#Html.RadioButtonFor(model => model.buildInfo.materialId, material.materialId)#Html.Label(material.materialNm)
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.buildInfo.structId, new { Value = structIN.structId })
}
}
}
else if(structIN.structId.Equals(2))
{
<br />
#Html.Label(structIN.structNm) #:
foreach (var material2 in Model.materialInfo)
{
if (material2.materialId.Equals(2) || material2.materialId.Equals(4) || material2.materialId.Equals(5))
{
#Html.RadioButtonFor(model2 => model2.buildInfo.materialId, material2.materialId)#Html.Label(material2.materialNm)
#Html.HiddenFor(model2 => model2.buildInfo.structId, new { Value = structIN.structId })
}
}
}
else if (structIN.structId.Equals(3))
{
<br />
#Html.Label(structIN.structNm) #:
foreach (var material3 in Model.materialInfo)
{
if (material3.materialId.Equals(6) || material3.materialId.Equals(3))
{
#Html.RadioButtonFor(model3 => model3.buildInfo.materialId, material3.materialId) #Html.Label(material3.materialNm)
#Html.HiddenFor(model3 => model3.buildInfo.structId, new { Value = structIN.structId })
}
}
}
}

my GET method
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult RegisterForm()
{
PopulateStructMaterialData();
using (var dataBase = new TMXEntities())
{
var model = new RegisterInfoPA()
{
//OTHER CODES
};
return View(model);
}
}
Populating Data
private void PopulateStructMaterialData()
{
var list = new List<strucMaterial>
{
new strucMaterial{ifOthers = "", materialId = 1, materialNm = "Bricks", structId = 1, structNm = "Walls", insuranceReqId = 0, isSelected = false},
new strucMaterial{ifOthers = "", materialId = 2, materialNm = "Concrete", structId = 1, structNm = "Walls", insuranceReqId = 0, isSelected = false},
new strucMaterial{ifOthers = "", materialId = 3, materialNm = "Woods", structId = 1, structNm = "Walls", insuranceReqId = 0, isSelected = false},
new strucMaterial{ifOthers = "", materialId = 2, materialNm = "Concrete", structId = 2, structNm = "Roof", insuranceReqId = 0, isSelected = false},
new strucMaterial{ifOthers = "", materialId = 4, materialNm = "Tiles", structId = 2, structNm = "Roof", insuranceReqId = 0, isSelected = false},
new strucMaterial{ifOthers = "", materialId = 5, materialNm = "Zinc", structId = 2, structNm = "Roof", insuranceReqId = 0, isSelected = false},
new strucMaterial{ifOthers = "", materialId = 3, materialNm = "Woods", structId = 3, structNm = "Floor", insuranceReqId = 0, isSelected = false},
new strucMaterial{ifOthers = "", materialId = 6, materialNm = "Reinforced Concrete", structId = 3, structNm = "Floor", insuranceReqId = 0, isSelected = false},
};
ViewBag.populatebuilding = list;
}
In View
List<Insurance.ViewModels.strucMaterial> viewModelSM = ViewBag.populatebuilding;
for(int i=0; i<viewModelSM.Count; i++)
{
#Html.DisplayFor(m => viewModelSM[i].structNm)
#Html.HiddenFor(m => viewModelSM[i].structId)
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => viewModelSM[i].isSelected)
#Html.HiddenFor(m => viewModelSM[i].materialId)
#Html.Label(viewModelSM[i].materialNm)
}
My POST method
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult RegisterForm(RegisterInfoPA viewmodel, List<strucMaterial> list)
{
using (var dataBase = new TMXEntities())
{
var model = new RegisterInfoPA()
{
//OTHER CODES
};
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
//OTHER CODES
var register = viewmodel.reg;
var personalinfo = viewmodel.pinfo;
//Save Register
db.registers.Add(register);
db.SaveChanges();
//Retriving required Id's
var getid = register.registrationId;
var getRegTypeID = register.regisTypeId;
//SAVE PERSONAL INFO
personalinfo.registrationId = getid;
db.personalInfoes.Add(personalinfo);
db.SaveChanges();
//---HOW SHOULD I SAVE THE CHECKBOX HERE?-----------
**> tHIS IS MY CODE, BUT IT IS NOT WORKING**
foreach(var item in list) (<< error starts here)
{
buildingInfo.materialId = item.materialId;
buildingInfo.structId = item.structId;
buildingInfo.insuranceReqId = item.insuranceReqId;
db.buildingInfoes.Add(buildingInfo);
}
db.SaveChanges();
}
}
}
I am always getting this error
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
How the proper code should look like? Thank you.
