View 5 RepliesIs it possible to bind two separated datasources to one dropdown list such that they are both alphabetically sorted and seprated by some sort of line. I know there is a way to insert elemets manually, but I'm not sure of the 2 separate datasources.

MVCThe generated ADO.NET Entity Data Model loses ordinal positions of columns and reorders Entity Set column names alphabetically. This causes the columns in a new MVC VIEW to appear alphabetically and needs to be reordered by hand. I am using MySQL Database.
How can I retain the ordinal positions of columns?

that i have here is ID-column which contains a linqdatasource taking a where parameter from a dropdownlist and they are both in the same edit-template field.
and i have in another column (CourseTypeID-column ... edit-item template) a dropdownlist ..... now this dropdownlist i want to bind it to the linqdatasource exists in the ID-column (edit-item template)..... is that possible in the designer (or from) not code behind ..... and how ????
I'm trying to build a link to an external website using some properties of my model class in my view page, e.g. I want it to render as something like -[URL]where post-id would be pulled from the model (I'm using a strongly typed view model here - I can't use ViewData as there's a list of items being pulled back all of which need seperate links).I tried doing < a href="<% model.PermaLink(); %>">, where PermaLink is just some string, however the value doesn't get picked up.If I try < a href="<%= model.PermaLink %>">, I get an error - CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'System.IO.TextWriter.Write(char)' has some invalid argumentsIs there any way to do this? I tried adding the runat="server" attribute, however this just linked to my local site and controller/model actions.
View 2 RepliesHow to open a model popup on click the link.
View 2 RepliesI can't to understand clearly how to create strong and quickly application using EF. For example, I have class ForumPost (table ForumPost) for select one of record I write method like:
public ForumPost ForumPost(int ForumPostID)
{
return
(from i in _dataContext.ForumPostSet
where i.ForumPostID == ForumPostID select i).First();
}
all works. But on page (I use ASP.NET MVC) I should display info from another linked tables, ForumName (each post have ForumID) etc. So, I modify this method to:
public ForumPost ForumPost(int ForumPostID)
{
return
(from i in _dataContext.ForumPostSet
.Include("ChildPosts").Include("ParentPost").Include("Users").Include("Forums").Include("Tags").Include("ForumPostPolls")
where i.ForumPostID == ForumPostID select i).First();
}
ok, all works. Then I want to make some actions in model with ForumPost, i.e.
public void RootPost(int PostID, ref Models.ForumPost Root)
{
ForumPost post = ForumPost(PostID);
if (post.RootPost != null)
{
Root = ForumPost(post.RootPost.ForumPostID);
}
else
Root = post;
}
it works too. But problem is in speed. I not need in RootPost all those includes. So, I should to create one more method like:
private ForumPost ForumPostIncludes1(int ForumPostID)
{
return
(from i in _dataContext.ForumPostSet
.Include("ChildPosts")
where i.ForumPostID == ForumPostID
select i).First();
}
then ForumPostIncludes2, ForumPostIncludes3 etc... second way - redesign RootPost with LINQ expr, not with call another method. But in this way difficulties to change DB. third way? How to do it correctly?

I'm trying to link 2 objectdatasource together using the Control Parameter Source.However, I'm stuck at the screenshot below. The Next button is disabled.
View 1 RepliesI have a database table column consisting of text URLs [URL] In my LINQ-to-SQL-driven gridview, I want to make this a clickable link programmatically, with differing link text (e.g. "Link text"). I'm getting close but am missing some key concept. Here's the core of the .vb codebehind:
Dim dctx As New ResourceMod.ResourceModDALDataContext
Dim eleResObj = From eleRes In dctx.Resources Where eleRes.Type = "url" Select siteurl = eleRes.Website
GridView1.DataSource = eleResObj
GridView1.DataBind()
This displays the raw URL in the gridview (i.e. non-clickable). I've experimented with adding an explicit hyperlink column a la [URL](setting AutoGenerateColumns false etc.), but haven't yet figured out how to assign the asp:hyperlink Text and NavigateUrl fields with the anonymous-type object eleResObj. Using a field construct such as Text='<%# Eval("siteurl") %>' isn't working, presumably a scope issue. Is a LinqDataSource needed in this case, and if so, how would that affect the original LINQ query?
problem: bad design but this is what they want.I have a datasource which binds to a dropdownlist. This is fine. this displays companies (with companyID as the DataValueField)they then, underneath, want a seperator and then after that, a list of "groups".of course, DDL cannot have multiple Datasources. So how can I bind from 2 sources into 1 DDL? I cannot seem to think of a way. Even adding the items at the end of the databinding will not help as the GroupID maybe the same as a CompanyID for the DataValue.
View 4 RepliesI'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.

I have an ObjectDataSource (but perhaps this question is the same for all kinds of DataSources which support parameter collections):
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="MyObjectDataSource" runat="server"
TypeName="MyData"
OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}"
SelectMethod="GetMyData" >
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="MyTextBox" Name="MyParameter" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>
As you can see there is a ControlParameter bound to a TextBox on the aspx page. So the content of this TextBox is a parameter for my SelectMethod. But there is a special button on the page: When this button is clicked and a postback occurs I don't want that the DataSource extracts the content of the TextBox to control the selection, instead I want to set a specific hard value "x" as the selection parameter.
How can I do that? Can I "disable" in some way the ControlParameter when this specific button is clicked and set my special value instead? Or is there any other way?
How do you control database server access when you use datasources in VB 2010?How do you access multiple tables from a store procedure using datasources?
Explanation:My experience is with VB.NET for the most part. I've written a lot of apps drawing data through dataadapters into datasets and processing them to provide reports in aspx.
I'm starting to work in VB 2010 and those elements are no longer available. What appears to be the weapon of choice is the datasource.What I'm not seeing: 2 important things that I can't work without:
1. Control over when the database server is hit with a connection request; daMyQuery.Fill (MyDataSet) was an explicit command that I could use to collect my data on demand. From that point on, I could use the dataset as I wished to populate whatever controls or structures I wished - the database server was no longer needed and wasn't hit by my apps until another pageload.
2. Multiple Tables in a query result; This must be there, I just can't find the method by which to reference different tables in my SQL output. Previous, I would have a dataadapter which would use a stored procedure to deliver a dataset of multiple - sometimes many - tables for use in the application. I can't find the equivalent on a datasource.
So my two big-ticket needs - requests for assistance, really - are listed above: How do you get at multiple tables returned from a stored procedure;and;How do you keep datasources for hitting the dbserver whenever you use it if there is no equivalent to a 'fill' method?
I guess another - how would you walk through the rows of a dataset?
