Validation for search input when model is a list - asp.net

Question

In the view, the model is:
#model List<ParamsTaskLib.ParamRecord>
I want to create a form with an input field which will be the DeviceID to search for:
public class ParamRecord
{
[Required]
[RegularExpression(#"^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}$", ErrorMessage = "Invalid Device ID (hex)")]
public Int64 DeviceID { get; set; }
other fields in here...
I tried editing the view in the following way:
<form method="get" >
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.First().DeviceID)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.First().DeviceID)
But it doesn't work obviously, it doesn't seem like it SHOULD work:)
I'm confused with how to work with a list as a model, combined with a search box...
The error I get is "Value can't be NULL" on this line:
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.First().DeviceID)
Extra clarification: the purpose of this page is to display a table which contains many lines (ParamRecord) of a specific DeviceID from the database.
The purpose of the form + input field is to supply the web server with the DeviceID of which I want to see data (a collection of ParamRecord)
This is the complete View page:
#model List<ParamsTaskLib.ParamRecord>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "SearchResults";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<script type="text/javascript" >
function UpdateFunc() {
$.get("/home/GetProgress", function(data) {
$("#UpdatePercentage").text(data);
if (data == "100")
location.reload();
else
setTimeout(UpdateFunc, 2000);
});
}
function Update() {
var id = $("#id").val();
$.post("#Url.Content("~/Home/UpdateID/")" + id, function (data) {
UpdateFunc();
});
$("#UpdateAni").attr("src", "#Url.Content("~/Content/Images/ajax-loader.gif")");
$("#UpdatePercentage").show();
}
</script>
<div>
<form method="get" >
#Html.TextBox("id")
#*#Html.EditorFor(model => model.First().DeviceID)*#
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.First().DeviceID)
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
<img id="UpdateAni" src="#Url.Content("~/Content/Images/ajax-loader_static.gif")" onclick="Update()"/>
<span id="UpdatePercentage" style="display:none" >0</span>
</form>
#if (Model != null )
{
<h4>ID 0x<span>#ViewBag.ID</span> , last update was at #ViewBag.LastUpdateTS</h4>
<h3>Total #ViewBag.NumOfParams parameters</h3>
<hr />
<table border="1" >
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Parameter Number</th>
<th>Device Inner ID</th>
<th>Device Type</th>
<th>Value (Int)</th>
<th>Value (Float)</th>
<th>Value (String)</th>
</tr>
</thead>
#for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
<tr>
<td>#Model[i].ParamIndex</td>
<td>#Model[i].DeviceInnerID</td>
<td>#Model[i].DeviceType</td>
<td>#Model[i].ParamValInt</td>
<td>#Model[i].ParamValFloat</td>

}
</table>
}
else if (ViewBag.NoResults == 1)
{
<h3>No results for ID 0x<span>#ViewBag.ID</span></h3>
}
</div>
