My team is building ViewModels with model validation inside the MetadataType. My question is that I'm using a non-MVC project, can I use it to validate the model?
[MetadataType(typeof(PersonMetadata))]
public class Person
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
[Code]....
How can i make this work like i have 5 fields in my database table . 2) i created a model for validation with datannotation and created the compare password field as well with comparepassword attribute. (now my model has 6 fields including one external field compare password and 5 database fields)3) i created a view with that model.(User)4) now i created a controller as well but the problem arise here that when calling that actionmethod the compiler complains about the external field and tells it cannot find any extension method . how can i create the extension method or solve this error?

Basically I have RegisterModel2 that has a Person class. My requirement is that Phone Number and Address are not required for registration. But if they try to enter a Phone number of Address then it should validate it. Problem is that it is always stating that the child fields of Phone (area code, number) and child fields of Address (street1,city,etc) are required. Is there a way to annotate in the RegisterModel that a parent class is not Required but if any data in a child element is given then and only
then should the child elements be validated?
My Person EDM class has a nullable 0.1 -> 0.1 navigation property to Phone and Address.Here is the person class
[MetadataType(typeof(Person_Validation))]
public partial class Person
{
}
public class Person_Validation [code]....
The Person EntityObject has an optional/nullable Navigation Property to the Phone Object.
The Phone object has these annotations,[Code]....
I have RegisterModel defined as follows:
[Code]....
My View looks like this:
[Code]....
And here is my Controller Action it is posting to:
[Code]....
I am using Data Annotations in ASP.NET MVC2 for data validation.There are cases where Model is invalid in Control Action method, by the time I received it. So I add defaults [where data is not present in cetain scenarios, for valid reasons. Other times it is error].All I want to do at this point is, because I updated the model, I want to re-validate model - so that it re-applies all validation again as per data annotations.
If I call Controller.ValidateModel method, I am getting exception saying, it cannot take the model object or type is not correct.If I don't re-validate, my Model.IsValid is false -even though I set up defaults.I am wondering if there a way I can call to re-validate model, from in-side a controller action?
I am using ADO.NET Entity Framework.
i have a table Employee which have the following fields.
ID int (primary key) Name varchar(10) not null Email varchar(30) Null
here is the code
[Code]....
i want to make automatic Length and Required Field validation in the Entity Framework.
There are some tutorials explaining how to create a Model based on Linq to Sql or The Ms Entity Framework. Can I use my custom code for a model? If we have the controller with the code :
[Code]....
This returns a List<Movie> to the view that knows what to do with it. Is it possible that I create a method called MovieSet that returns a List<Movie> using a sql qry or a stored procedure call without the creation of an Object for this purpose ? Or do I need a Movie object? Lets say that I just to do my query, loading data into a dataTable and load that data to a list of movie objects. Because the code created by the Entity Framerwork is too big for a quick reading.
I want to assign a stylesheet-class to a <div> element. The cssclass I want to use depends on the property 'Level' which is defined in de ViewModel.
I want to have something like this:
<div class="dashboardlevel" + <%= Model.Level %>>
But this doen't work.
I pass two parameters to my repository to return one record
I am strugling to wite the code to return one record.
Here is my repository-
public Classifieds_Ads GetUserClassifiedDetailsToModify(int classifiedid, Guid UserGuid)
{
return context.Classifieds_Ads.Where(c => c.User.Id == UserGuid && c => c.CatID == classifiedid);
}
Firstly I have many controls, mainly radio buttons, that have required validators and a validation summary.
I have some radio buttons which contain property types, e.g. house, flat, maisonette etc. Then I have another set of radio buttons with floor level (Top, Middle, Ground). How can I make floor level mandatory only when flat or maisonette is selected and still be shown in the validation summary?
it is possible to customize the typed view generation process to generate the proper controls based on the fields annotations of a model. For Example I have a Person Model that contains Foreign Keys like CityID,DepartmentID etc. So When i generate a view againt the Person Model it creates textbox's for all the Person fields but i want dropdownlists against FK fields. It Should be smart enough to at least geereate the peroper controls based on the Person's field annotations. How can i acheive that? Has anybody worked on that?
View 2 RepliesI've got a multi level dependency chain in my object model: An organization has the following children relationships:
Organization
.CompetitionGroups
.CompetitionGroups.Venues
.CompetitionGroups.Competitions
.Divisions.Games
.Divisions.Games.Participants
.Divisions.Games.Participants.GameSegments
.Divisions.SubDivisions...
.Divisions
.Teams
.Teams.Players
.Teams.Participants
.Teams.Participants.GameSegments
.VenueDates
This is just a glimpse at the object model, but it's focused on the complexity of the relationships and lists. What I can't really get is what's the best way to factor my repository interfaces, given the requirements to do a unit of work. For example, to create a game, you'll need a venuedate and two participants. Does that mean the GamesController should require an IGameRepository, an IVenueDateRepository, and an IParticipant repository? Should they be rolled into one repository?
Also, what about in the consumption cases? For example, to display a signle team's schedule, you'll need all of the Participants for that Team, all of the Games for that participant, and all of the GameSegments for the participant. If those are factored into individual repositories I can't see how you can do efficient queries. Does that mean you have Repositories specifically focused on different cases? for example:
public interface IScheduleRepository {
public ICollection<Game> GetScheduleForTeam(Team team);
// More consumption methods
}
public class ScheduleRepositry : IScheduleRepository {
public ScheduleRepository (ModelContext context) {
// Do stuff with context
}
public ICollection<Game> GetScheduleForTeam(Team team) {
return (
from p in context.Participants
where ((p.Game.VenueDate != null) &&
(p.TeamId == team.Id))
orderby p.Game.VenueDate.StartTime
select p.Game).ToList();
}
// more consumption methods
}
public interface IGameRepository {
public void AddGame(Game game);
// More crud methods
}
// Not showing games repository
public class GamesController : Controller {
public GamesController (IGameRepository gamesRepo,
IVenueDateRepository venueDateRepo,
IParticipantRepository participantRepo) {
// do stuff with repos here
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AddGame(Game game) {
// Skipping validation logic
// this?
VenueDate = venueDateRepo.Add(game.VenueDate);
foreach (Participant p in Game.Participants)
{
participantRepo.Add(p);
}
Game = gamesRepo.AddGame(game);
// or this?
// how would the game repo know to persist
// the children elements? is that tight coupling?
Game = gamesRepo.AddGame(game);
}
// more consumption methods
}
My question is I don't yet understand to what degree factoring your repositories make sense based on a connected object model. I'd love to get some advice here.
I'm building an MVC 2 RTM app, and I want to be able to share my model across applications. I'd *like* to be able to implement it like:ASP.NET MVC2 app (holds Views and Controllers)Class library to hold Model(s)WCF app to handle the data transactions with the models via different data stores across apps I had the MVC app working fine, but I wanted to abstract the data stuff and be able to work with the model across apps through the WCF site, so I created a class library project and moved all of the Models classes into that and set-up a WCF app, then added project references to the MVC and WCF apps that point at the class library. The idea was I can create services that take and return objects from the model via method calls across apps. It appears that everything's wired up correctly in the MVC project, so I'm passing the objects stored in the Models class library between controllers and views and everythig is compiling just fine, but for some reason the data is not being passed back from the views to the controller on POST -- all of the properties in the classes are null or empty.
When I debug the app, I can see that the values are stored in the model data dictionary but not the model object itself. What am I doing wrong? Am I on the wrong path, or missing something obvious (to some)?
Is it possible, inside a Custom Model Binder, to fire "something" that "says" the value is invalid so it gets handled by validation part?
Basically, I am getting an exception when the value for the property is invalid.
I made a few changes to the DB in SQL server management studio then right clicked on the .edmx doc to get it to update. That seemed to work fine but when i compiled the app everything that referenced the EF seems to be broken.The Error list now contains the below error for all classes that used it.
The type or namespace name '' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I have an issue of static variable in an asp.net application. Let's say I have a server with 8 CPUs running windows 2008 R2 hosting an asp.net webbsite, nothing fancy here, no funny configuration.
Is the following statement true? at any single time, there's one and only one process is running and accepting requests, even in the recycling stage. The reason I am asking is: I have a static field in my class, and I want to make that's the only static instance in the website. I've heard in some circumstances, IIS is recylcing your application, and it will start a new process, but the old process is still working, thus I will have 2 static instances in memory, which defeat the purpose of static field.
One step further, let's assume there might be 2 instances in memory, can I assume there are at most 2 instances at any single time? And can I assume once the second instance is up, the first instance will NEVER accept new requests?
Another question: Recently I have a problem with an applicationdomain concept. Looks like if an application domain causes a memory leak, unload the domain will not release the memory (Umanaged leak). So to what extent Application Domain is isolated?
I am trying to make a post that should use the Default Model Binder functionality in ASP.NET MVC 2 but unfortunately I can't get through. When I click on the checkout button I populate a form dinamically using jQuery code and then submit this form to the server. This is the form that get submitted
<form action="/x/Order/Checkout" id="cartForm" method="post">
<input name="__RequestVerificationToken" type="hidden" value="UDjN9RdWheKyWK5Q71MvXAbbDNel6buJd5Pamp/jx39InuyYIQVptcEubIA2W8DMUzWwnZjSGkLspkmDPbsIxy8EVuLvfCSZJJnl/NrooreouptwM/PaBEz2v6ZjO3I26IKRGZPqLxGGfITYqlf8Ow==">
<input id="CustomerID" name="CustomerID" type="hidden" value="1">
<input id="FirmID" name="FirmID" type="hidden" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="CartItems[0].ServiceTypeID" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="CartItems[0].Quantity" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="CartItems[1].ServiceTypeID" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="CartItems[1].Quantity" value="1">
</form>
This is the jQuery code that handle the submit event for the form
$("#cartForm").submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault(); var form = $("#cartForm");
var panel = form.parent(); panel.parent().block();
$.ajax({ type: "post", dataType: "html",
url: '<%: Url.Content("~/Order/Checkout") %>',
async: false, data: form.serialize(),
success: function (response, status, xml) { panel.parent().unblock(); },
error: function (response) { panel.parent().unblock(); } }); });
This is the controller action that should be get called
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public virtual ActionResult Checkout( CartModel cart ) {
} And finally this is the CartModel class involved
public class CartModel : BaseModel{
public int CustomerID { get; set; }
public int FirmID { get; set; }
public List<CartItemModel> CartItems { get; set; }
public CartModel() { CartItems = new List<CartItemModel>();
} } public class CartItemModel : BaseModel
{ public int ServiceTypeID { get; set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; } }
But the default Model Binder does not bind the web form data to a CartModel class. Using Fiddler I have been able to see that the data sent to the server is correct as you can see from the following snapshot.
when I use Html.HiddenFor( model => model.OwnerId ) to create a hidden field, the value assigned to that field is zero. When I use <input type="hidden" value="<%: Model.OwnerId %>" /> to add the hidden field to the form, the value is assigned correctly.
Why would Html.HiddenFor( model => model.OwnerId ) not get the correct value from the Model object? Am I supposed to load model state somehow separate from returning the model object from the action method? Here is the view:
[Code]....
The Create action method is relatively straight forward.
public ActionResult Create( ... )
{
ViewStockItem item = new ViewStockItem();
item.ActionCode = ActionCode.Add;
if (item.OwnerId == 0)
item.OwnerId = 7;
BookOwner owner = db.BookOwners.Single(c => c.OwnerId == item.OwnerId);
item.OwnerName = owner.OwnerName;
return View(item);
}
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.
[code]....
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 recently started working on ASP.NET with MVC 2 framework, and I am facing following difficulty in validating my data,
Scenario:
In my application the view (ASPX) is divided into tabs (jQuery) and each tab's content is ViewUserControl (ASCX). The main model for the view has collection of sub models for individual tabs. I use RenderPartial method to render view user control.
[Code]....
And the user control (Tab1.ascx) refers the specific model for it,
[Code]....
Now if in my Tab1Model if I put following validation
[Code]....
In the controller ModelState.IsValid is always indicates TRUE. How do I override the validation behavior such that it as well looks the items in the collection member (which holds sub models) as well.
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("FirstName") %>
I am a newbie in mvc3 and i'm wondering how to use attribute like [Display(Name="")] for model that comes from an entity data model that I provide im my "Model" folder in my mvc3 project.
I didn't provide a .cs class for each of my database tables .
other words, I want the controller class render a edit form for me like :
First Name:--- instead of : fName:---
I'm following along with Nerddinner making a few changes, and can't figure out why my Create form is not validating. I'm using Linq to SQL and trying to use Modelbinding to map my form data automatically. Using the code below, I do not receive any validation errors on the page, but can't make it past my try{} block. When unhandled, the error I receive tells me I'm unable to insert a Null value for "basetype". This is correct based on Database constraints, but why am I receiving exceptions, and not the nice red error messages and validation?
Controller:
[Code]....
[Code]....
I'm using a DataGrid with edit functionalities in my project. It's handy, compared to having to edit its source data manually, but sadly, that means that I'll have to deal with validating user input a bit more.
And my problem is basically just that. When I set my DataGrid to EDIT mode, modify the values and then set it to UPDATE, what is the best way to check if a value that I've entered is, in fact, compatible with the corresponding column's data type?
i.e. (simple example)
// assuming
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("aa",typeof(System.Int32));
DataGrid dg = new DataGrid();
[Code]....
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 have a textbox that the user is suppose to enter a valid user name , the valid user names are stored in database. for example the valid user names might be U100, U101, U102 ,U103,U104,U105,U106,U107. so if the user types anything other than that he should get a error message and I dont want to implement a drop down list for that , how to do this in asp or should i explore javascript for this.
