Now I see that this renders both the checkbox input tag and a hidden input tag. The problem that I am having is when I try retrieve the value from the checkbox using the FormCollection:
FormValues["ReceiveRSVPNotifications"]
I get the value "true,false". When looking at the rendered out HTML I can see the following:
Similar to the "add more experience" functionality in [URL], I want to provide a "Add another location" link which should display an additional row of a set of 4 dropdowns (country, state, city, region). I'm actually using the CascadingDropDown jQuery Plugin for ASP.NET MVC [URL] for my location dropdown functionality, but I need to give the user the ability to add multiple locations. What would be the easiest way to handle this in ASP.NET MVC and jQuery?
I have a page that renders a hidden value from the model:
<%=Html.Hidden("myName", model.myValue) %>
Since I am passing a value in the value parameter, you would think it would output that value, but it doesn't.The code for rendering input fields has the following:
Basically, if the ModelState (which contains posted values) contains a value for the "name" passed, it will use that value instead of your passed value to the helper method. In my case, I updated the model and my updated value wasn't outputted.If I pass a value to a method, I expect that value to be rendered.
I want to know that how to render partial view based on where the user navigates. I mean to say if user navigates to Home/index it will load different partial view and if user navigates to Home/contact it will load different partial view on the _layout page.
There are 3 checkboxfor html helper controls, on making Ist one checked , 2nd sholuld look disabled, 3rd remain enabled and is optional to check.I am not getting to know how to disable 2nd one on getting ist one checked.
I love MVC, coming from WebForms development, but there are things that don't make any sense to me. The "Error executing child handler" occurs anytime a vast number of things happen, for instance. It's very close to a useless message. In order to get the actual cause, I click on Debug/Exceptions and check the "Common Language Runtime Exceptions", and then reload the View. Presto! It shows the cause of the error.
Another thing I'm wondering about today is the FormCollection value of the Html.CheckBoxFor control. Checkboxes in general seem badly designed in html, and MVC didn't improve on it much. When processing a POST, if a regular checkbox isn't checked, it simply won't show up in the list of posted elements. Great. Instead of just grabbing it by name in the FormCollection and testing its value, instead I have to test whether or not it exists in the FormCollection. Not very intuitive. The Html.CheckBoxFor is a variant on the same theme. It always shows up in the FormCollection, but with a similarly non-intuitive return. If it's not checked, it yields a value of 'false', which can simply be converted to boolean and processed as normal. But if it is checked, it returns 'true,false'. Super. Now, instead of converting its value to a boolean directly, I have to test the string returned for the index of 'true' and return that instead.
I find this close to as aggravating as the Linq To Sql Sum() method bug. If I run a Select() method on a given numeric property and run Sum() to add them all together, if an empty result set is returned by the query it throws an exception. Now, if I was looking at a bunch of totals to add together, and none of them had anything entered, what would I write in the sum box? Error? Exception? Nope, it would be zero. I fully understand that if no results were returned then nulls cannot be added, but according to the intitial documentation this method was supposed to return zero in such an instance regardless, because that's just common sense. Enough of that rant. Does anyone know why this return value was chosen for Html.CheckBoxFor?
i'm tryig to make checkbox control as mandatory on submit button click and i'm using the following peice of code to bind the checkbox control in view from model.
<tr> <td><label>Confirm values are correct</label></td> <td><%= Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.ConfirmRefund, new { @class = "checkbox"})%> <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ConfirmRefund,"*")%> </td> </tr>
I've been watching a video on Scott Hanselmnn teaching MVC 2 tricks/tips. He mentions how MVC 2 by default uses ASP.NET Web Forms view engine to render the output of the views; he mentions that the web forms view engine is a little slower than it could be for MVC 2 since it generates a control tree and then outputs the HTML to the page (I hope I said that right).
I was wondering what he meant by web forms generating a code tree before outputting the HTML to the page. Does anyone have insight on the view engine of Web forms and the steps of the rendering process works for ASP.NET and MVC2?
Ive got a scenario where a form is filled in and the action picks it up as a FormCollection. It then carries out validation on it and if it fails sends it back to the form again, however i cant seem to get it to re-populate the form.
If i do something like:
[Code]....
So it just looks for name in whatever is passed over... ideally i dont want to involve a model unless it has all validated fine, but if there is no other way around it can populate a model and do the validation on the model instead...
FYI I am using .NET 4.0 / MVC 3. In my controller, the following is my code:
[HttpPost] [ValidateInput(false)] public ViewResult Edit(ContentTemplateView contentTemplateView, FormCollection collection)
Everything works fine when I don't enter HTML, so I know the proper controller is being fired. Also, I have following set properly in my web.config files:
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0"/>
I only get this problem when I include the FormCollection (which is needed for this particular Controller). So what exactly am I doing wrong? [I have done what was proposed on the following questions, and they work as long as there is no FormCollection. None of them offer a solution with an included FormCollection] Why is ValidateInput(False) not working? Asp.Net MVC Input Validation still firing after being disabled ValidateInput Attribute Doesn't Seem To Work in ASP.NET MVC
My application writes custom attributes to input controls using Helper classes. And also we are loading the UserControl dynamically so we need to use FormCollection to get the posted values. Is there a way that we can access attribute values from FormCollection object.
I'm overriding the OnActionExecuting method in a base Controller. When a form gets posted - anywhere, I want to check for a certain form element in this method. In any Controller method I can just include the FormCollection as one of the params in its signature, but if I try that with the OnActionExecuting method I get an error saying that there's no suitable method to override. How can I get past this?
I want to know which fields were edited in a form in the Edit Action. I have a Log field in a table named "someTable" which I wish to add the change to, along with the Username of the current user. This is a simple implementation:
[Code]....
Can someone tell me where I am going wrong, because the getChangedAttributes function always returns an empty list (assuming because "backupTable" and "form" contain the same values? But shouldn't they be different?
I'm using jQueryGrid and an Action method to populate search results based on some filter criteria, how to pass this form collection values to Action method from Javascript function.
I have a strongly typed view for my User edit action. When I press edit all the fields in Users model is filled with values from the DB. If I enter an invalid data for a particular field say email, then the view throws an error, but after that the email field contains data pulled from the DB and not the one which i entered previously.
I will explain to you in steps if my explanation is confusing.
1.Click the edit action. 2.A page displays with all fields in my User model. 3.Email field contains : johnson@company.com (pulled from the database) 4.I try to change the email to "johnson@company1" (This is an invalid email id) 5.The form does a post back and return an error saying that email id is invalid. 6.Email field contains : johnson@company.com (pulled from the database) and not "johnson@company1"
Is there a way to convert the FormCollection to an User model and send it back to the view?
I am currently developing an application with the new ASP.NET MVC2 framework. Originally I started writing this application in the ASP.NET MVC1 and I'm basically just updating it to MVC2.My problem here is, that I don't really get the concept of the FormCollection object vs. the old Typed object. This is my current code:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult Create(FormCollection collection) {[code]....
What are the benefits of switching to FormCollection in MVC2 and more importantly - how is it used properly?
I have a basic form that renders data out to a form like so (from Northwind):
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %> <h2>Region Selection</h2> [code]....
In addition, I have a controller that is called when the form is posted back:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult Index(FormCollection collection) { [code]...
The problem is that none of the data in the table is being captured in the FormCollection in the Post. The TextBoxes pass data as expected so I know the wireup is working.I read from some other posts that you need a value for the name property - but that did not work. Also, I read that you need to put the data inside a TextBox inside the TD. Instead of grasping at straws, does anyone know the best pattern to pass the data from a Table back into the FormCollection?
btw: I tried to copy/paste formatted test in from Word. No dice. Ugh.
