Can I reach the value of hidden fields in controller action ? And how ? Do I put it in the model somehow ?
EDIT: some code example how to store something in hidden field and retrieve it on postback.
I'm working on a mvc project that builts a table of items and each row has a button to submit that row to the controller. Now each button has an id and I use hidden input to store the data in that column. How do I post the id to the controller? I use Html.beginform() at the beginning and a submit button. I want the ID to appear in the URL so I can extract the data based on that.
Also I can see that my values are posted but they don't show up in the query string. How do I get these values in the controller? The code is like this. [Code]....
I am having two hidden fields which are server controls and i set the values in the javascript function. But i want to clear them as soon as one of my code behind method gets updated. As my page is not refreshing the hidden fields are not getting cleared. But i dont want page refresh.
So how do i clear the hidden field values without refreshing the page.
I have scenario, where there are html hidden fields, the page can be redirected to itself, with parameters, I have sessions too. Now depending on session value I want to set some hidden values, so that it can be picked up from javascript and can do certain operation. But, the problem is I have no idea about how to get/ set values into html controls using asp.net, and also do not know whether this is possible or not. it is imperative that I need some way to hold some data that can be set using asp.net and can be picked up by javascript. Since session can not be used for this purpose, so I need some other way.
View 2 RepliesI've been using .NET for a little while now. And, I now want to learn to use it the RIGHT way. And, by that, I mean I shouldn't be using hiddenfields on my .aspx page and setting values for those hidden fields in my codebehind. Problem is, I don't know how to ask the question.. so bare with me.. getting a value from a gridview, detailsview, or in this case a DataList when it's bound on a .aspx page, and passing it into my stored procedure? Here's my code of how I do it now..
here's the label for the Department from my datalist, which is on my .aspx page
<asp:Label ID="lblFullDept" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("FullDept") %>' />
here's the hidden field from my .aspx page
<asp:HiddenField ID="hdnFullDept" runat="server" />
And now for my code behind - where I find the value during the databound of the datalist, and then set the value equal to the hidden field.
Protected Sub dlInfo_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs) Handles dlMnfo.ItemDataBound
Dim lblFullDeptCompare As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("lblFullDept"), Label)
hdnFullDept.Value = lblFullDeptCompare.Text
End Sub
And finally, the sql portion, where the value is passed as a parameter...
Protected Sub doInsertActivation()
Dim conn As SqlConnection
Dim comm As SqlCommand
Dim reader As SqlDataReader
Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("xyz").ConnectionString
conn = New SqlConnection(connectionString)
comm = New SqlCommand()
comm.Connection = conn
comm.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure
comm.CommandText = "abc123"
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("Department", hdnFullDept.Value)
conn.Open()
reader = comm.ExecuteReader()
reader.Close()
conn.Close()
End Sub
Yes, this works, but I just feel like I need to learn a more efficient way of doing this, as I'm constantly grabbing data and inserting it into sql.
I'm trying to realise how to make a div on the page hidden, from the controller.
the situation is this:
i have 2 radioboxes, which need to fill a hidden label with thier value, dependant on the one selected.
the second case is gettin the value in the ID part of the link, and hiding the radioboxes altogether.
been googling it for hours and could not find a solution for this?
I have a filter on my MVC web site. I display some records in a few different controller actions but when moving from one action to another I want to apply those filter values.
How can I persist values from controller to controller?
Should I use Session? TempData?
I am using Structure Map for IOC.
Maybe I could have a class that contains a Property for each Session Value that I use in my application and inject it on the controllers that need session?
I am getting unlikely html tags for hidden fields in my website when redirecting to the page. I do not get it all the time but I am getting it frequently. e.g.: I was support to get
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET"
id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
but I am getting something like
tyinput type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET"
id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
and this error is displayed in top of the page.

View 1 RepliesAccording to MSDN hidden fields section,
In order for hidden-field values to be available during page processing, you must submit the page using an HTTP POST command. If you use hidden fields and a page is processed in response to a link or an HTTP GET command, the hidden fields will not be available.
If I add a HiddenField control at design time and set a value in it at design time or in the Init event in ASP.NET, why would I not be able to read/process the value when a page is first requested?

I have a Grid view which is being populated from a database. Now I want to add a button that has its own html with some Hidden fields.

I would love to use hidden field value but I think I am missing something to do.
Since every page refresh or staying a little bir longer on the page, the value is missing.

How can i do the this cookiles suff above...?
I use hidden value to keep the url to redirect to next page. May be i sould not keen on using hidden value, session variables are better?
According to MSDN and the MCTS self-paced training, asp.net can use Hidden fields for client-side state management. The book material goes on to say view-state is more secure than hidden fields because the data is encrypted. I must be missing something here. I setup a Label and made it hidden. I can store data in this hidden label and it won't even be sent to the client browser. This not only works like server side state (note the runat=server), but this seems more secure than view-state because there's no need for encryption as the client can't even see the field.
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Visible="false" runat="server">secret info</asp:Label>
<input id="Text2" type="text" style="visibility:hidden;" value="secret 99" />
I have a form as

I am using hidden fields to save some preset data, but upon postback they appear to disappear.
Here's what my controller actions look like:

The view is coded like this:

But when the POST action receives the object back, some of the fields have become null. The FormCollection, however, contains all values. I realize I could just take everything from the formcollection but it's probably better practice to use the object, right?
I'm using V.S. 2008 and asp.net MVC. I have a form in this page that user selects various items from Select controls. I then construct a string varible that contains each selected element's id a hidden input control that holds this information. How can I pass this variable (and it value of course) to a Controller Action? I am using regular Html Form and the Submit button.
In the following code you see the "ResearchInterests" is the one that holds the string but I can't even reference it in my Controller action, Search. How can I correct this?

I have a user control which has a gridview with hidden fields in some of the template columns. The grid columns are created and bound by code dynamically in each postback and not in design mode. The gridview is placed in an update panel. In my aspx page where i use the user control , there is a dropdown which fires postback and based on the selected value of the dropdown the grid data gets filtered. The dropdown in aspx is not part of any update panel.
After the postback of dropdown, the grid data gets filtered and the grid is rebound with fresh values. The values in the controls like label, button or link button are bound correctly. But the values in the hidden fields are not refreshed and always points to the values of the rows that was generated before the postback of the page (initial page load).
I used the script where the image array has static images.I want to convert it dynamically by finding my images names from index.aspx.cs files which are stored in hidden fields.

["images/2.jpg", "", "", ""],
["images/3.jpg"],
["images/4.jpg", "", "", ""] //<--no trailing comma after very last image element!

I was told to use a Repeater control in what I am doing which is a "Data Entry" screen with ASP.NET controls -a standard "address" like form. In cases, the fields on the form will repeated twice, once for the original values, one for the changed values. I have not used this control before but it seems like I have to bind to a database. Instead, I have an Entity object that has been obtained via a Repository. Can I bind to an object like this?
[DataContract()]
public class RON

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
