ADO.NET :: Passing A Complex Model To A Create View So It Can Be Populated On The HTTP-Postback?
Oct 25, 2010
I have a somewhat complex model that I need to pass to a MVC 2 Create view so its properties can be filled out. I'm not sure how to actually create this model as it has some relationship data that must also be filled out during the creation process.My main model is a Game. Most of its properties are scalar. It contains a foreign key to Content, for the game reviews, and there's a many-to-many relationship between Games and Platforms - games can be on a variety of platforms (PS3, XBox 360, etc.), and each platform has a library of games.When I pass data to my Edit view, it's as simple as:
[Code]....
I'm unsure what to do in the case of Create as I'm not sure how to link the associated parts - Content and Platforms - to a Game object.

I have an user view model that has the following properties:
public User user;
public List<Language> Languages;
I send the above model to the view and use html helpers to build the form, so I end up with something like:
<form action="/Users/Edit/5" method="post"><input id="user_UserId" name="user.UserId" type="hidden" value="5" />
First Name
Last Name
Email
Language
Now, I try to read the POST in something that initially was something like :
[AcceptVerbs( HttpVerbs.Post )]
public ActionResult Edit( int UserId, FormCollection form ) {
and cannot get the user.UserId variable, user.FirstName variable etc.
what needs to be done to be able to read this kind of POST request. I'm kind of reluctant to modifying my ViewModel as it is very simple and easy to maintain as it is.

I have a question regarding validation of drop-down list values. I have a view that is bound to a view model type called ReservationData.
This object contains a property CustomerVehicles of type List<VehicleData>. VehicleDatahas two int properties VehicleMakeId and VehicleModelId.
On my view I am trying to loop over the number of items in the CustomerVehicles collection and displaying two dropdowns for each, a vehicle make dropdown and a vehicle model dropdown usingDropDownListFor.
When I try to submit and validate I do not see any validation errors displayed on the screen.
Just in case you are wondering I have added a ValidationMessageFor for each dropdown as well. I am not sure if this is an issue with the structure of my view model and its complexity and how the controls need to be named or how the ids need to be set.
Here is the code for the looping over the collection:

[Code]....
What I want to achieve is the ID of the property: item.Item.ID to be bound to the ID from the (route)URL. However I can't get it to work. I tried using [Bind()] attribute.
I fixed it now using a hidden field in the form like so:
<%= Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Item.ID)%>
However this feels a bit icky. I'd like to know if there is a better cleaner way of doing this?

In my controller I UpdateModel(model). That works. I'm getting the model from the view.I save the fields of the model to a business entity and save the entity through a business layer to my database. The business layer returns a unique record id which I store in my model. Then I pass the model to the View.
return View(model);
After the View loads the Model in the View has not been updated. The unique record id has not been changed. I have been at this for four hours and I'm not getting anywhere. I have been trying to convert a windows forms project to MVC2 for six weeks and it just gets more and more frustrating. None of the tutorials on the MS site or the Microsoft book I have answer any of my questions.

I'll give a very simple example:
at the moment I have to write like this:
<% Html.RenderPartial("hello", new HelloInput { Name = "Jimmy" } ); %>
I would like to be able to like this:
<%=Html.Hello("Jimmy") %>
So I would like to know how create this helper:
public static string Hello(this HtmlHelper helper, string name)
{
return the result of rendering partial view "hello" with HelloInput{ Name = name };

I'm trying to build a Create view in which some fields for the model have been set in the controller and are non-editable. Take for example a post in these forums where the subforum in which you post depends on which forum you're in currently.
I tried to do this by passing an id parameter to the Create action like this:
[Code]....
[Code]....
But somehow the subforum property gets "lost" along the way, but the submitted prop. stays there. I should note here that the subforum property is an entity key.
So in other words: how can I set a few properties before returning the view, and keep these read-only until postback??

I have been reading about different model for development
model view control mvc
model view presenter MVP
Model view view model MVVM
i belive MVC has two big Advantage over webform 1) TDD 2) More control on HTML
MVP is bit variation in mvc model. rapid development as well as 1) TDD 2) More control on HTML (correct me if i m wrong) see the below link

I'm playing around with a asp.net page that's using the IScriptControl interface to pass data from the code-behind to the custom javascript object running on the browser.I'm passing a number of properties via IScriptControl.GetScriptDescriptors(), and they're all working fine, except for one.That one is a class derived from System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<>. And even that one has been working for me, so long as the elements in the collection were scalars - ints, doubles, and strings. But when I tried to pass a member of a class, it showed up as a null object in the javascript. The class in question is marked [Serializable]. I changed it to a struct, and got the same behavior.It looks as if the serializer used in IScriptControl does a shallow copy.

I am using ASP.Net MVC2 and LINQ to SQL. I am using DataAnnotations and model binding in conjunction with a Form/View and its working beautifully well. Loving that.. My view is an "Add new Employee" form that's adding a new "Employee" complex object. Every Employee also has a child complex object called an "Address".
I am using the bound Html helpers in the view, such as Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.NewEmployee.FirstName) for example. Working beautifully well, validating beautifully well both client and server and coming into the controller fully populated and ready to be saved! Exciting.. ModelState.IsValid returns true and I go to save the new Employee.
The Employee is created fine but the system also creates a blank/new Address record in my Addresses table even when the Address fields are blank! How can I prevent any Address from being created, in situations where I ONLY want to create a new Employee with no Address. An example is when the user supplies an existing Address, then I wish to simply set the new Employee's AddressID to that of an existing physical address (I hope that makes sense). But it could apply to any situation where you need to create a new complex object, but you don't wish for LINQ to create any of its child complex objects. I have tried setting NewEmployee.Address = null after it is received in the controller, but even after that, a blank/new Address is still created. Even if I try NewEmployee.Address = SomeExistingAddress, it does correctly link the Employee to the existing Address, but it STILL goes off and creates another redundant new/blank address record! Which is really weird..

I have a "Create New Employee" ASP.Net MVC form. My complex object is an Employee and an Employee has an Address, which is another Complex object. On my View/Form I collect all required values for both the Employee and the Address. I'm using the bound HTML helpers such as: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.EmployeeAddress.StreetName)
AND
Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.NewEmployee.FirstName)
This is all working beautifully well. Model binding is working like a dream, both server side and client side validation using DataAnnotations is working beautifully well and I am nicely receiving my populated complex objects as expected in the Controller.. Now I'm trying to save.. The Employee should always be newly created, because its an "Add New Employee" form. But sometimes the Address is an existing Address and I don't want to insert another one. Rather, I just want to link the Employee to the existing AddressID of the one that already exists in the database.
So I wrote a nifty GetExistingOrCreateNewAddress(Address PostedAddress) method which works great so I end up with the correct Address to use and link to the about to be saved Employee object. This is all happening in the same DataContext, so no problems there..
BUT even when I link the about to be saved Employee object to an existing Address, on save a new/empty Address row is created in my Addresses table. Even though the newly created Employee does link correctly to the existing Address I told it to! Why is it so??? And how can I save the new Employee without LINQ automatically creating a blank Address for me. Because I'm explicitly specifying an existing Address it should be linked to instead!
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CreateEmployee(EmployeeDetailsViewModel NewEmployeeDetails)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
EmployeeRepository ER = new EmployeeeRepository();
// Fetch or Create the appropriate Address object for what has been entered
Address ActualAddress = ER.GetExistingOrCreateNewAddress(NewEmployeeDetails.EnteredAddress);
// Link this Address to the "about to be saved" Employee
NewEmployeeDetails.Employee.Address = ActualAddress;
// Lock it in..
ER.SaveNewEmployee(NewEmployeeDetails.Employee);

Basically I have a page where a user can select up to 3 vehicles by make and model. I have 3 divs on the page that is generated with a basic foreach loop. When the user selects a make and model from respective dropdown lists I am firing a javascript function that returns a JSonResult that loads a dynamic partial view into a seperate div. This partial view displays a div with a grid whereby the user can select one of n-number of services using a checkbox.Next what I would like to do is if the user selects a servce for the one of the vehicle selections, I would like to add this selection to a list of "ServiceSelection" that is part of my viewmodel. Ultimately the user would click a button that would redirect to the next step in the process and pass the entire updated viewmodel to this new page.

In my past I had created the following web page in web forms and I'm learning asp.net mvc right now , I had given it a tought and I run into conclusion I really wont know how to do the same page with asp.net mvc
before explaining you the actuall problem I would explain you the Model The model is a pretty simple , it for few columns which are bool , and a lot of them which are varchar(MAX) The View is built the following way
the bool parts of curse got a check box but the varchar parts are the complicated ones In my web form page i got the following code for each varchar property in my database
[Code]....
my server script gets the following page apon submit and checks if radio button 1 or 2 is selected if 1. it inserts the link as it is into colmn property while if it is 2. it saves the file on the server and saves the file location into the colmn property.

We do have a search page for customers which returns a list of data from a table.
Once we select on an item it should redirect to another page with customerId as a querystring parameter..
Now the problem is we have to save all the customerIds and need to send them to display page..and need to select next one once they done with previous one without going to the search page again..
Example:
if they got 10 customers in the search page then we need to send all 10 ids to display page by starting display of firstone and once they select next button on display page they have to move on to the next cutomer from that list..if they reached the end of list they have to start again from the first...we need to avoid the user going to the search page for each customer every time...

I've been used to decorating data model classes with data annotation attributes, but the purist in me baulks slightly at including purely presentational attributes such as display format here. I am, however, quite happy to keep validation centric attributes here. One good reason I have to continue keeping all annotations etc. in the data model is that my view model aggregates data model classes, e.g.
my ViewModelBase.DetailItem<TEntity> property in the view model is just a reference to an entity class in my data model. If I wanted to move presentational annotations to the view model, I would have to quite radically revise my design to one where I duplicate data model properties in my view model and use an object mapping tool to populate view model objects based on data model objects.

Say I got a domain model as follows: (and my repository expect an instance of this object)
[Code]....
And a view model (which my views are based on)
[Code]....
At the moment I got it like this and have my controller action manually create a new Person object from the PersonModel object before passing it on to the repository, which does not feel right.
So I tried to have PersonModel inherit from Person and pass that to the repository (also tried casting the PersonModel to a Person object first), but that don't work out.
What's the right way to have PersonModel automatically cast to Person? I want to keep this logic as my current structure allow me to keep things really loosely coupled, with the repository layer not having a clue how it's being used.

I have a form with 2 sections. The first one contains some radio buttons. The second one contains a checkboxlist. When we change the selected radio button then it modifies the elements in the checkboxlist. For this I setted the radio buttons with autopostback, and in the code behind (in OnLoad) I populate the CheckBoxList depending on the selected radio button.
This work fine.
The problem is that I also have a button at the end of my form which post the data of my form in another page (with PostBackUrl). Then in that page I would like to retrieve the values of the checked checkbox. But I can't find how to do that. In the Request.Form I don't see anything.
I searched on the web but I didn't found really a solution.

I have a page with an panel on it that can contain a number of editable controls (textboxes, date pickers etc). This panel (and the controls) are populated dynamicaly by loading up an XSLT tranformation and applying it to an XML document (which represents the entity being edited) in the Pages Load event if !isPostBack.
Once the user has made changes they click a button and the form posts back. At that point I want to be able to go through the various controls in the panel, get the updated values and persist them back to a database. When I try to access the controls in the underlying buttons even theyre not there the panel is empty.
What I think is happening is that the page is being recreated at the start of the post back. When its recreated the XSLT transformation doesnt run because its a postback so the edit panel never gets repopulated. The controls therefore dont exist as far as my Button handler is concerned and it cant access their values.
My stopgap solution to this is that Im not checking isPostBack before repopulating the panel, so now the panel gets repopulated in the post back, the controls are there and Im able to query their values. The problem is that this involves another round trip to the database server to pick up the xslt and thats undesirable.So, first of all, have I understood the problem correctly?
I could save the trip to the db by storing the xslt (probably in the view state) but the whole idea of having to load up the control before checking its values feels sort of wrong and Im concerned that Im doing the wrong thing without realising. When I repopulate the control I am, of course, applying the XSLT to the XML document as it stood before the user made any edits. I would have expected querying the value of a control to return me the value before the user changes, but it actually seems to return me the value of the control as it was in the page when the user clicked the button. How can that be?

I have an entity object as model input in my view. Not sure if it's the best approach, but I use the object references to get values from a related object.Let's say I've got a car entity and a manufacturer entity.Here's how it would look in my view

I've get a nullreferenceexception where the car entitity does not have a reference towards manufacturer. I'd like to output a " " if no manufacturer exists.

I have two model classes:
public class UserModel
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string EmailAddress { get; set; }
public string LoginName { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
}
public class GroupModel
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public List<UserModel> Users { get; set; }
}
I created a View (Create.Aspx) by inheriting GroupModel class.

</html>
It is generating only two fields (Id, Name) in my aspx view. Also I am able to get the form data in the Model class object in ё[HttpPost]ё request which contains the data for ID and NAME field in controller.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(GroupModel groupModel)
{
try
{
// TODO: Add insert logic here
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
How can I get the data in List<UserModel> object? I am thinking to Put a List control with checkboxes containing Users. Then catch them using FormCollection object in controller.
