How To Bind Form Collection Back To Custom Model Object That Uses 2 Custom Objects
Mar 23, 2010
What I'm trying to do is rather basic, but I might have my facts mixed up. I have a details page that has a custom class as it's Model. The custom class uses 2 custom objects with yet another custom object a property of one of the 2. The details page outputs a fair amount of information, but allows the user to post a comment. When the user clicks the post button, the page gets posted to a Details action that looks something like this:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Details(VideoDetailModel vidAndComment) { ....}
[Code]....
The only fields on the form that is posted are CommentText and VideoId. Here is what the VideoDetailModel looks like.
public class VideoDetailModel
{
public VideoDetailModel()
{
[Code]....
I suppose if I added more form fields for the properties I need, they would get posted, but I only need 1 form entry field for the CommentText. If I could get the same Model objects value that were sent to the page to post with the page, it looks like the solution is rather simple. I think using the RenderPartial in the middle of a form is problematic somehow to how the form gets written in html. I can't really put my finger on why things went bonkers, but if I do my RenderPartials before my form and then begin my form with the text entry field and the hidden VideoId, the default ModelBinder works just fine. I was beginning the form, writing the hidden VideoId, rendering several partial views, create my CommentText field, and then closed the form out. The CommentText field would get bound just fine. The hidden VideoId would not. Maybe I missed a rule somewhere about using RenderPartial.
For completeness, the partial view I was rendering took a Comment object and just wrote out it's CommentText data. Several of these objects would exist for a single Video object. All of this data was in a custom type and passed into the View (the main view) as it's Model. This partial view did not have a form and did not have any data entry fields.

I am using ASP.net to retrieve data from a Lotus notes DB using OLEDB connection. I use a ADOrecordset to read the values. When I open the ADo connection, I would like to store each record being read in a custom object and thereby create a collection of custom objects as ADO connection times out when kept open for long.
I then need to iterate throught the collection of custom objects to retrieve the values.

i am creating a MVC2 application for pubs and bars. I have a model 'Opening_Time' with the following properties:
int Day,time OpeningTimetime ClosingTimeWhen adding/editing an Opening_Time, I want to validate an Opening_Time, to check the user isn't adding one for an existing Day (ie they can't have two entries for the same day).
How/Where is the best place to do this?
Preferably, I want to do it a Model level, so I can use Model.IsValid and the Html.Form helpers

I'm kinda new to web services and want to make sure I am doing things correctly.
I have a custom object which has sub objects as well. (let's say Company object, sub object is collection of Employee objects)
I want the web service to return a collection of Company objects. Do I make the service return a Dataset and custom generate a dataset with datatables representing the different objects?
What is the best way to do this? I tried to just serialize it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
I tried this dll
[URL]
But the output XML doesn't seem to include the sub object.

If I have the following ASP.NET code (it's not complete - obviously there's a lot missing, but none of it matters):
<asp:GridView>
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
My Label: <asp:Label />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
My Text Box: <asp:TextBox />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
And if I have something like this in the CodeBehind:
Private MyListOfObjects As List(Of MyObject)
...
Public Class MyObject
Public MyTextBoxString as String
Public MyLabelString as String
End Class
How can I bind the GridView so that one row is equivalent to one item in my MyListOfObjects list, and so that the data will populate and persist across page loads or postbacks? I've never done custom databinding like this before. All the tutorials I've come across so far only talk about using GridViews directly with Database query results, and that's not what I need.

I have been trying to design a form, which uses a view model that contains an object array. I want to set up this form so that when the submit button is clicked, all the members of the array are updated. Here is my code:
The class definition of the array element:
[Code]....
The problem is that when I clicked the submit button, none of the luSubject objects in the array Subjects got updated. But if I set up some initial values for the members of the luSubject objects, for instance, set the Name field to be "Maths" in the constructor of luSubject class, then it got displayed on the text box when the form page was loaded. This suggests that this form could display the data in the array, but cannot update it.

I'm creating a custom ASP.Net GridView and I want to be able to alter the __EVENTARGUMENT value but I can't figure out how to capture the returned value on the server side.
I'm creating the ability to have a collapsible representation, so the first level is the standard GridView and I will insert additional rows via JavaScript if they expand the first level row.
My problem is how to create a link on the selecond level rows that posts back with custom data.

I have created my custom MembershipProvider. I have used an instance of the class DBConnect within this provider to handle database functions. Please look at the code below:
public class SGIMembershipProvider : MembershipProvider
{
#region "[ Property Variables ]"
private int newPasswordLength = 8;
private string connectionString;
private string applicationName;
private bool enablePasswordReset;
private bool enablePasswordRetrieval;
private bool requiresQuestionAndAnswer;
private bool requiresUniqueEmail;
private int maxInvalidPasswordAttempts;
private int passwordAttemptWindow;
private MembershipPasswordFormat passwordFormat;
private int minRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters;
private int minRequiredPasswordLength;
private string passwordStrengthRegularExpression;
private MachineKeySection machineKey;
**private DBConnect dbConn;**
#endregion
.......
public override bool ChangePassword(string username, string oldPassword, string newPassword)
{
if (!ValidateUser(username, oldPassword))
return false;
ValidatePasswordEventArgs args = new ValidatePasswordEventArgs(username, newPassword, true);
OnValidatingPassword(args);
if (args.Cancel)
{
if (args.FailureInformation != null)
{
throw args.FailureInformation;
}
else
{
throw new Exception("Change password canceled due to new password validation failure.");
}
}
SqlParameter[] p = new SqlParameter[3];
p[0] = new SqlParameter("@applicationName", applicationName);
p[1] = new SqlParameter("@username", username);
p[2] = new SqlParameter("@password", EncodePassword(newPassword));
bool retval = **dbConn.ExecuteSP("User_ChangePassword", p);**
return retval;
} //ChangePassword
public override void Initialize(string name, NameValueCollection config)
{
if (config == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("config");
}
......
ConnectionStringSettings ConnectionStringSettings = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[config["connectionStringName"]];
if ((ConnectionStringSettings == null) || (ConnectionStringSettings.ConnectionString.Trim() == String.Empty))
{
throw new ProviderException("Connection string cannot be blank.");
}
connectionString = ConnectionStringSettings.ConnectionString;
**dbConn = new DBConnect(connectionString);
dbConn.ConnectToDB();**
......
} //Initialize
......
} // SGIMembershipProvider
I have instantiated dbConn object within Initialize() event. My problem is that how could i dispose off this object when object of SGIMembershipProvider is disposed off. I know the GC will do this all for me, but I need to explicitly dispose off that object. Even I tried to override Finalize() but there is no such overridable method. I have also tried to create destructor for SGIMembershipProvider.

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 have a custom control which inherit from the Table class and in the constructor, it takes a an integer as an argument. There is no empty constructor.
Is there a way for the user to set that variable in the properties window after they drag the control onto a form.
I know some .NET controls, you can set the source for the parameter to different things like another control's property, QueryString using just the properties window.
Right now, I have to create the control dynamically. I read the query string and then created the object.

I'm working on a project in which we have a database, data layer (entity framework), business layer and web/UI layer.I want to use ASP.NET Dynamic Data for the web layer, but don't want it to access the data layer or database, as I want it to be purely running off business logic, and not directly accessing the data.However, it appears that Dynamic Data only allows Linq-to-SQL or entity framework data sources to be used.Has anyone used it with business-layer objects instead?

I have an existing web application that uses EF and POCO objects. I want to improve the client experience by exposing some of my objects through WCF(JSON). I have this working fine but where I am unsure is how to handle derived objects(not sure if that is the correct term) or IEnumerable anonymous objects if you will.
Let's say I have 3 tables structured like so:
Templates
ID
Template
Groups
ID
Group
Instances
ID
TemplateID
GroupID
This is obviously a one-to-many type relationship. I have my navigation properties setup correctly and getting strongly typed object properties works great. However, how do I send serialized anonymous type object(s) over the wire. Like an object that sends all instances that are equal to groupid=1 and include the names of the template and the object.Am I missing something or do I have to create another class object for WCF that would look like this:
WCF Object
InstanceID
TemplateID
TemplateName
GroupID
GroupName
I guess I could alter my tables to account for this but that seems wrong too. I know that IEnumerable objects can't be serialized and I know that throw away objects are probably not the way to go either. I want to do this the right way but I am not sure how to go about it.

How can I add custom properties into control objects in ExtJs.
For example :
[code]....
This control comes from server dynamically and I want to write my custom property as well like below :

I tried it but it said undefined. Normally since JavaScript is loose, I can easily modify objects but in this case it wouldn't work the way I expected.

I have a model containing a List with custom objects, let's say Customer objects. Like this:
[Code]....
In the View I print out (for simplicity) the name and id of the customer objects on the model. How to restore these values on postback if the method signature looks like this:
[Code]....
Should I use hidden values? This is not possible if the List contains items of interface type, for example List<ICustomer> where ICustomer is an interface. Is there any other way to "save" the values on each postback? For example I may want to view validation error messages when the user submits the form and then the properties of the customer object must still be there..

I have a MyLinkButton : LinkButton.
In any event I override I don't have any attributes in my "base.Attributes or this.Attributes" collection. How's that possible? The rendered output clearly shows an id and an href attribute.
I'm trying to get rid of the href part and put in my own. Unfortunately Attributes.Remove("href") won't work.. because there's no such attribute. Or any attribute for that matter.

I have a fundamental question to ask about web services. I'm currently writing a service that has custom classes (lots of them). Let's say a car is one example. For some reason I was thinking that the service should expose these objects. However once I created a site to consume the service, it looks as though the classes are not meant to be exposed. It looks like the best practice is to take in a string which may be xml or not and convert that string into the object in the service code.(especially for error handling or input validation)
For example, if I had the web method:
[WebMethod]
public car getCar(int carId)
{
//code here to return car object
}
This will take a car ID and return a car object. It also shows all the elements in the SOAP request and response objects (as well as the WSDL) which can be to external developers. However, when trying to consume the service from a website (or reference it in my code), I then need access to the Car class (which implies i need to expose it through the services as well?).
