I have a Company model and an Employee model and I want to create a Company and then create multiple employees for the company in one view.
How should I do this in the view?
And what should I do in the Create POST method to support this multi-entry view?
I am wondering how to handle and setup a means to submit multiple data entries via ASP.NET MVC.
Suppose I have a product database table such as: ProductId, ProductTitle, Price.
From the view, I was thinking to code the HTML form as:
<form ... >
<table>
<tr>
<th>ProductId</th>
<th>ProductTitle</th>.......
Suppose the form is to be submitted to Controller: Product, Action: Add. What sort of coding techniques can I use to handle this dynamic form, such that I follow good or best practice, and if possible also be elegant.
The solution I see so far is to test the Request.Form (or Formcollection) indexer/dictionary for existence for the dynamic input fields. E.g.
public ActionResult Add(Formcollection form)
{
int productEntry = 1;
string productPrefix = "Product";
while(true)
{........
how am I be able to validate multiple entries (textbox control). It seems that using custom validate is not possible because each validator has one control to validate. In my case, I have to determine if at least one entry was filled with data.
View 4 RepliesI'm creating a shopping basket in ASP.NET using session variables to pass the data from a shopping.aspx page to basket.aspx, currently I have the pages passing the primary key of the product with a gridview on the basket.aspx used to display the data from the database.However this only works for one item at a time, how can I extended the session variable so multiple products can be added, as well as quantities etc?

Here I am using ASP.NET using C# and my backend in active directory.
I want to show just a 8 entries pro time, and above the table make some kind of navigation (like 1 2 3 4 5 ..) and if i need to see next 8 entries I#m clicking on the number 2, i see them. I dont know how can i do all this.
i working with mvc, and i want too that this solution is dynamic, that by more entries automaticly will have longer navigation 56 enties = (1 2 3 4 5 6 7).
I am using the built in database with the tables (i.e. membership, users, etc...). I created my own table (relationships), but when I try to create a row that uses the same email address it says "cannot create duplicate entries". I am not allowing duplicate email addresses in the membership table. That did not work because I couldn't convert System.Guid to long. So, I decided to do it by email address. I changed idRequester to requesteremail and the same for receiver. However, when I try another record with the same email address in either field, it does not accept it.

View 4 RepliesI have some data displayed in GridView and there are multiple (repeat) entires.
There are about 20 rows of the same data, but I only want to display 1 row.
I know can amend PageSize="1" but then it shows multiple pages which I also don't want.
The multiple rows - are all of the exact same data - but it should only appear once!
I am creating a web service that returns the list of states. How do I create an object in C# in the web service that will return multiple values (of properties of an object). Currently, the way I am doing it, it only returns the last value pulled from the database. Do I need store an array of properties?

I am working on an update to one of our sites. This version will have unique behaviors based on the host name in the request. In order to test this behavior, I modified my computers host file by adding entries that point back to my computer.
127.0.0.1 newhostname.sample.com
127.0.0.1 oldhostname.sample.com
Everything seemed to be working fine, until I started working with the Session object. I discovered that after each request all my session variables were lost. Further investigation revealed that each response from the server contained a new SessionID.Why is that?I was able to hard code some flags to complete my testing using 'localhost' for requests without any problems.
I am currently working on a project where I am trying pull a list of entries from an Oracle database depending on a selection that is made by the user via a Drop Down list. Then I want provide a user with a list of options that they can select that is related to the drop down option that they have selected. For Example:
First Drop Down from database: Honda, BMW, Ford
If user selects:
Honda -- options that are available in the separte table in the database for this entry are -- Type, Engine Size, Colour
BMW -- options that are available in the separte table in the database for this entry are -- Colour, Wheel Trims, Extra's
Ford -- options that are available in the separte table in the database for this entry are -- Extra's
What I wanted to do is have a form displayed to the user where thy can say select a car eg. "BMW" and then on the change of that drop downs index the site will do a call back and retrieve the entries for the BMW options in the seperate tabel, these being Colour, Wheel Trims, Extra's. Then it will put these details in a DataSet and then i wanted to create a new text box or input field for the users to enter details in. I have tried the below code with no success as I get an error on my for loop of looking through the options DataSet.

I am trying to get the drop down list to only include table1 entries where table3.int1 is the current selection in another drop down list (table2.id). Example:
Table1: id, string1, int
Table2: id, string1, string2, dec
Table3: id, int1 (ref table2.id), int2 (ref table1.id)
Both drop down lists are inside of a FormView object for a asp.net page. My current select command(s) are having the DropDownList for Table1 display all Table3 entries, instead of just the ones Tied to Table2 id from the other DropDownList.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 with SQL Server Express databases in my .net 3.5 website
I have three tables I'd like to make entries to when the user completes a wizrd i've setup on a web form.
The First Step - The user enters basic information about their "Case". The table looks like so:
db_Cases - CaseId PK auto int, CustomerId, etc fields
The Second Step - The user enters information about the "Debtors" that are related to this "Case". Think of this as being products....The only difference is these records wont be used over and over again like a product would. The user may need to enter data about several "Debtors", just like if you needed to show several different products on an invoice. For example the user may need to enter information about a husband and wife. This means two entries in the "Debtors" table. The table looks like so:
db_Debtors - DebtorId PK auto int, etc fields
The Third Step - Here's my problem. This step needs to make entries into a third table called "CaseDetails". Again, this is just like if you were creating an invoice with several different products on it, where you would want to get a subtotal of each product's cost. The table looks like so:
db_CaseDetails - CaseDeatailId PK auto int, CaseId int, DebtorId, int
* When this table is later viewed, It will reflect all "Debtors" attached to the specific "Case" being viewed.
The first two steps aren't a problem, I pretty well have that handled in the wizard. BUT How do I create the entries in the "CaseDetails" table when the user finishes?
My idea right now is..... Considering the "Debtors" will be re-used but only on rare occations, I'm thinking I should just add the "CaseId" that was created in step one, to the "Debtors" table at the same time the "Debtor" is created. So the table would look like so.
db_Debtors - DebtorId PK auto int, CaseId int, Name, Address, etc
I have a view which takes two objects: booking and list of reasons for canceling that booking.I have two classes: clsBooking, clsBookingCancelationReason I can read both objects in my view - no problems there. After I read the objects, I display the booking details and I generate a list of cancelation reasons in the following way:
[Code]....
The code above generates a list of cancelation reasons.How do I pick up the selected ReasonId from the list?
I need to generate a link that will contain the bookingId and the selected reason for canceling the booking.I can get the bookingId out easily since it's stored in the Model...but how do I go about the selected ReasonId?
one thing that has been puzzling me since learning MVC2 is the following case scenario: I have a view which contains two latest news lists, a login form and a signup form. Every example I found on Views and View Models so far has a one-to-one example such as a simple login form etc. But how do I create a model that provides the properties and validation for a login and signup form and manages the data for the news lists. can I pass multiple models in the strongly typed view? When I created one model the form validation would fail as it expects all fields - login and signup to be filled. I am missing some advanced examples or information.
View 2 RepliesI have an application that needs to render a page that will have multiple Radio Button Groups as well as multiple CheckBoxes. The desired layout is determined by a database table.
table structure:
PackageID uniqueidentifier
PackageName string
ItemName string
RadioGroupName string
ViewControlName string
This table defines a "Package". The "Package" can contain many different "Items" that require different controls used in the View. The "RadioGroupName" field is used to mark which RadioButtons should be grouped together. The "ViewControl" field marks which control should be used on the View to display the field. The query in my repository will return a result set such as
1 / "First Package" / "Item1" / "First Group" / "RadioButton"
2 / "First Package" / "Item2" / "First Group" / "RadioButton"
3 / "First Package" / "Item3" / "First Group" / "RadioButton"
4 / "First Package" / "Item4" / null / "CheckBox"
5 / "First Package" / "Item5" / null / "CheckBox"
6 / "First Package" / "Item6" / "Second Group" / "RadioButton"
7 / "First Package" / "Item7" / "Second Group" / "RadioButton"
8 / "First Package" / "Item8" / "Second Group" / "RadioButton"
Given this result set, I need to render the view as follows:
A RadioButton group with 3 options (Item1, Item2, Item3)
A CheckBox (Item4)
A CheckBox (Item5)
A RadioButton group with 3 options (Item6, Item7, Item8)
I have read that it is possible to use "if" conditions and looping structures inside the View. I have also read that this is a bad practice. Another issue I see is knowing which Item has been selected from each RadioButton group when I hit the Controller POST function. Previously I have built a page that has a single RadioButton group. My ViewModel was as follows:

I would like to create one view for my CRUD actions. The view contains 3 basic DIV updatetargets ("search form", "search result listing" and "action" (would be create,detail,edit,delete). Basic flow would be: "Search" updates the "Search Result Listing", click on CRUD actions in listing would show partial view in "action".
how do I call to refresh the "Listing" after I do any add/update/delete without having user click search again?

I have a form which inserts data in DB on Submit button click but the problem is when client click the button multiple times its sends multiple create requests means multiple button click events for the same time of same data, which must not be.
I tried to disable the button when client click the Submit button first time but after this it does not call server click event handler or not fire the server click event once it got disabled.
How to handle this multiple click problem..

I'm rather liking this MVC3 and Razor way of working and I'm learning the ropes. I was wondering, can I create a partial view and pull it into another view in the following scenario:I have a "Person" model and an "Address" model. The Person contains name, phone number etc and each person has an address. I've created my Person "Create" view and that works fine but I now want to pull in my "Address" partial view to it.
