Binding Arrays With Missing Elements In Mvc?

Aug 25, 2010

I am trying to bind a dynamic array of elements to a view model where there might be missing indexes in the html

e.g. with the view model

class FooViewModel
{
public List<BarViewModel> Bars { get; set; }
}
class BarViewModel
{
public string Something { get; set; }
}

and the html

<input type="text" name="Bars[1].Something" value="a" />
<input type="text" name="Bars[3].Something" value="b" />
<input type="text" name="Bars[6].Something" value="c" />

at the moment, bars will just be null. how could I get the model binder to ignore any missing elements? i.e. the above would bind to:

FooViewModel
{
Bars
{
BarViewModel { Something = "a" },
BarViewModel { Something = "b" },
BarViewModel { Something = "c" }
}
}

MVC :: Model Binding To Non-null Arrays Fail. Is This A Bug?

Mar 12, 2010

I have several models that implement a array property using null object pattern in the following manner:

[Code]....

The problem is that any time I attempt to bind to a property of this type the DefaultModelBinder.CollectionHelpers.ReplaceCollectionImpl method wants to call ICollection<T>.Clear() and then ICollection<T>.Add() on the zero length array.

The real issue seems to be in DefaultModelBinder.BindComplexModel() method however. The method contains an explicit check for arrays and special handling to account for the fact that they don't support clear/add functionality. The problem is that the check stipulates that the array model must also be null. If it is non-null, normal ICollection<T> handling ensues which presumes support for clear and add. Can any one explain why the null check is there? It seems to me that either 1) the null check should be removed to permit replacement based binding to non-null arrays or 2) an explicit error stating that non-null arrays are not supported should be thrown.

I vote for the former. I can understand that in general, replacing an existing model with a refrence to a different model would be considered a bad thing. The calling code would not expect this in general and it could lead to hard to find bugs. However, in the case of arrays, if the calling code expects the array property to be modified at all, then I think the normal expectation would be that such modification would occur via replacement of the array.

C# - Gridview Binding To XML - Something Missing?

Jan 1, 2010

I am trying to make a simple grid view that is binded to a simple xml document but I must be missing something since I am keep getting error message:

The data source for GridView with i 'GridView1' did not have any properties or attributes from which to generate columns. Ensure that your data source has content.

Code

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="id" HeaderText="ID" SortExpression="id" />[code]...

Is it perhaps my xpath that is wrong or am I making something fundamentally wrong here?

The Size Limits For Arrays And OrderBy()?

May 23, 2010

I'm very new to the whole thing and am slowly building a little app which takes a series of numbers into an array,orders them,does calculations and outputs the result.To this end I'm using arrays declared like:

string[] and the function OrderBy().

Eventually this little prog is intended to read text files containing perhaps thousands of values so I thought I should find out:

What are the size limits for such arrays?What are the size limits for OrderBy() ?
Is OrderBy() an effective sort routine for large arrays or does it get very slow?
I hope it is okay to ask these questions.I realise I could find out for myself as soon as I've got it to where it can upload and read a text file and process it...... but I'm not there yet.

Storing Large Arrays Of Persistent Data?

Oct 16, 2010

I have developed an asp.net application that I developed using visual studio express 2008.

With this application, I have 20 sales items. I can sell 10 of each item each day. Customers can order the items in advance but once an item has more than 10 orders for the day then I can not sell any more of the items for that given day. If a customer tries to order another item after 10 has already been ordered then I must tell them that no further items of that kind are available. So for each day there can be possible 200 orders total (20 items x 10 sales). Customers can order months in advance...

So, my question is what kind of storage device do I use to keep track of this kind of data? Database or application variable or other?

i need to export in a linear vertical fashion such that column A1 - A500 contains test. Then B1-B500 contains test2.

Something easy like this.

Split Strings From DataReader (Array) To Different Arrays?

Aug 11, 2010

I have a datareader wich return several strings like:

ACTIA -ATSD-PKW-ACTIA-MultiDiag
TEXA -ATS-PKW-Texa-Prime"
MASTER-ATSV-PKW-Master-Master"
The strings are separted by the "-"

The idea is that I split the strings in to several dropdownlist, example:

Dropdownlist 1: (Actia, Texa Master)
Dropdownlist 2: (ATSD, ATS, ATSV)
Dropdownlist 3: (Actia, Texa, Master)
Dropdownlist 4: (MultiDiag, Prime, Master)

The problem is: How should I do this? I've search several hours on the internet but can't find anything about how to split strings from a datareader to several different arrays.

WCF / ASMX :: Consuming SOAP From PHP That Returns Associative Arrays?

May 3, 2010

I've been trying off and on with no success to get VWD-2008 to (deserialize?) a usable object from a PHP SOAP service that returns a serialized associative array (key/value). Client only, BTW I do not have access to change the service itself.

I DO get a response as an XmlNode[] (sample below). I would just shrug and parse the XML manually (shudder) but since all the elements are named "item", "key", or "value", and then they nest in themselves, this will get really hairy. Especially, since there are a bunch of different functions from this same service that I'd like to use, and almost all of them return an associative array.

If I understand this right, the response doesn't deserialize the associative array The HelloWorld test in the WSDL works fine. From what I gather, the SoapFormatter won't deserialize generics. To be truthful, my understanding of processing data at this level in .Net is sketchy and tenuous at best, but I'll do whatever I have to do to get a workable result from this.

In theory, I should be able to use the XmlSerializer to deserialize to an IDictionary Hashtable or the like, but I'm at a loss as to how I would go about doing that. Do I have to intercept the IDE generated SOAP call? Do I have to hack the WSDL? I've even tried writing a custom class to dump the response into just so I can use it, but I've yet to pull it off, and I've got more than one or two of these to do. I've hit forum after forum and have not found where anyone has give a successful answer to this recurring issue.

The really irritating part is that it is only 3 lines of code in PHP to declare, call, and consume the service to get a usable object and I'm giving myself fits to do it in C#. It CAN'T be THIS hard to do it!

Basic format is the Java Hashtable here:
