Opinion: Best Way To Retrieve/list Data Using .net Mvc
Jul 21, 2010
I'm new with the MVC framework and I was wondering what you think is the ideal way to retrieve data and list it on a page. Specifically, I'm referring to data used in report type pages, not lists of movies, books, or other clear 'objects'.
Most online samples seem to suggest using ADO.net Entity Data Models & LINQ which are automatically built by the wizard using the DB schema - and that seems great for things like movies/books, but doesn't seem so intuitively 'correct' for random data needed for a report.
Update:To be more specific, I basically need to take a set of rows from a Sql server view and display them on a page. Some of it just in a list, and some in graphs (planning to use the .net charting control). I realize what I'm doing is very simple, I'm just not sure what the best way of doing it using the MVC framework is. Hope that clears it up a bit...

I was comparing SharpArch to Spring.NET earlier, and had some thoughts.Both contain Core, Data and Web namespaces (as well as others). While SharpArch maintains them all in one assembly, Spring.NET does so in separate assemblies.Initially, I liked this concept, because one could reference the Core without indirectly referencing something they didn't need, like System.Web.However, it later occurred to me that whether or not things were combined, they still operated within the .NET space and have equal access to the GAC.So why not put things in one assembly, as long as individual elements in their namespaces do not make use of certain things?Of course, I'm talking about a base-line assembly, not an actual business solution.

Here is my page:
[Code]....
It basically is 4 questions with each answer assigned a value.
What I would like to do is when the button is clicked the selected values are retrieved and calculated to give a total.
That total is then compared against some common totals and the next value is shown.
So is the total is 8= Very Good, 6= Very Bad, 4= Terrible etc.
The two labels Result and Truth would sho the numerical result and the truth according to the scale.
I am at a loss on how to retrieve the list button clicked value, how to add them up and referance that to the Truth result.
its complicated (to me its "bang head against wall" difficult.

I have a list which is defined as List<SoftwareTitles> softwareTitlesList = new List<SoftwareTitles>();
and the SoftwareTitles is a class which is defines as follows:
public class SoftwareTitles
{
string softwareTitle;
string invoiceNumber;[code]....
And now I'm adding the values from the sql server database to the list defines as follows:
public List<SoftwareTitles> SoftwareListRetrieve()
{
ConnectionToSql con1 = new ConnectionToSql();
string connectionString = con1.ConnectionStringMethod();[code]....
I want to find out the software title for every occurence of invoice number by looping through List<>. And I don't know how ? I have tried to loop through the List<> by the following code. I wanted to use something like contains i.e., softwareTitlesList[i].contains but seems like there is no such property or method
for(int i=0; i<softwareTitlesList.Count;i++)
{
softwareTitlesList[i].

I have some labels on my Page (e.g. Label1...Label100).
I don't want to loop through all Labels to check if Text property is = "" (or string.Empty, whatever), so this's my question - is it possible to use LINQ or Lambda Expression to get all "empty" labels ?

Some ids are pulled out from the XML field of a certain User Profile . Those ids have their text values stored in a SQL table.
What is the best way to map that xml list to the SQL table in order to populate a dropdown list which contains ids from the XML list and text values from the SQL table?

I have a situation where I want to show the selected records out of total records for a product of an employee
1) There is a checkbox list bind to <List> of objects from object datasource (For total items in list)

3) For this purpose I have another list of <List> selected items returned by data access layer (For selected items for that employee )
4) How do I bind the selected objects with the total items list ?
5) In spaghetti coding model it was all too easy just by binding the checkbox list with a sql data source and running a for each on form load

I have a databound dropdownlist and have a problem with the default value it selects.When I attempt to edit a record the dropdownlist shows the first value in the list rather than the current value. I want the dropdown list to display the current value.
I'm sure this is very simple but I'm very new to ASP.NET.
I'm using .NET version 4.

Second Page
I need to get the whole list and add output the list so I can output (hopefully) the '3' and '4'.

I am stuck at this point "Displaying a dropdown list of Categories with a --None -- Option. I want the gridview control to display 2 dropdown list one in read-only mode and the other in edit mode. When a record is in read-only mode, the dropdownlist's enabled property will be set to false."When it's on a read-only mode, it doesn't display the selected Category. it shows but the "No Category". When i click on edit to edit or change category, it doesn't display the selected category.
The example is given below( I am reading the book Sams Teach yourself ASP.NET 2.0 by Scott Mitchell. page 628)

I am playing about just now trying to teach myself a little bit about the entity framework. I have a Gridview data bound to a Entity Date Source using the Entity Framework. If I select certain items in that list I then wish to redirect another page and populate another gridview with just the items selected (but with more detail, different includes/navigation properties)
This is probably the most simple thing but I have spent 2 hours banging my head on the wall trying to get this to work. Essentially I have a continue button which when clicked should identify all the UIDs (a column in the gridview) of the rows and allow me to subset to just these rows and pass them to another page to be rebound to another datagrid
