How To Return Two Types Of Objects In MVC View
Mar 2, 2011
I have say class/ojbect one which I am returning as details. But then there is a second class that is related to the first that I want to list (and have an option to look at the details). How do I get return both of those?
Example is like in an item as the main piece but there may be details or other items that are related to the main item. I will select them with a linq query but then how do I return them to the same view?
Do I need to have some sort of partial or other form to display the second object type? I don't see where returning the view I can return both.
My thought for right now is to create a new class that contains both of the object types but I know there has to be a better way.

I want to know why we must set the serializable attribute to save an object in view state.
Also, which type of objects can we store in view state?

I have two methods that do the similar thing. There are small differences here and there, which I can control by passing arguments to them when I call them, so I can effectively merge them. However one returns a string, and the other one an ArrayList. On the top of my head, I could merge them and return an Object, and then get the information I need. Is there a way though to return multiple types in the method's signature? What's the proper way to implement this?

Reporting system has list of available reports on a web page. When user clicks on a report new browser window opens, server starts to prepare report (winword document) and then sends it back after 2-10 seconds.
Code in the handler looks like the following:
context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename=report.doc");
context.Response.BinaryWrite(reportDocument);
Is it possible to prepare html content immediately send it back and then continue with time-consuming report preparation not closing connection?

I have the following statement, I want to turn it into a Public Shared Function :
If isEmployee Then
Dim employeeInstance As New Employee
employeeInstance = GetEmployeeInstanceByUserId(userId)
Return employeeInstance
Else
Dim studentInstance As New Student
studentInstance = GetStudentInstanceByUserId(userId)
Return studentInstance
End If
Public Shared Function GetWorkerInstance(Byval isEmployee as Boolean) As ...(not sure what to write here)...
There two possible return Type. I'm not sure what I should declare for the function return type.

If I'm returning an object, then it's pretty straight-forward. However, if I'm just trying to return whether or not the method was successful or not, what's the best option? Sure ... bool seems obvious - but what if you need to debug or get some additional details out of the method than just "yes/no"? Well that's where a string becomes more obvious, right? You can leave it empty to say that the method was successful or chock it full of details in the case of an error. But this can make it less intuitive to others who may have to run your functions and it also jumbles up everything you wanted to pass back into one large string.

I have .aspx page methods with return type of string, which work great. I am using some jQuery ajax, and some .NET Ajax "PageMethods.methodName" syntax from the client side to successfully call these page methods. I need to return xml from a page method.... I would LOVE to be able to return system.Xml.Linq.XElement type from page method. I get a serialization circular reference error when I attempt to return XElement or XDocument. I don't really want to return XML.ToString() to client, and then convert string to xml in javascript. What return page method return type(s) would allow me to retrieve xml with jQuery ajax call? I know json is the alternative, but will not give me what I need this time.

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?

Here's my problem: I have an IPerson which is implemented by Employee and Student. What I really want is what you see below. One LINQ statement to get each type of IPerson. This works great until I call the method ;). It makes sense as to why I'd get the error, but I am really struggling as to find a decent way to pull all IPerson objects from the DB and avoid putting switch statements all over my application.
[code]....
Above, there is a commented out return statement - that essentially does a .ToList() and forgoes the whole deferred execution thing, creating 2 SQL statements - not ideal.

What I want to achieve is the ID of the property: item.Item.ID to be bound to the ID from the (route)URL. However I can't get it to work. I tried using [Bind()] attribute.
I fixed it now using a hidden field in the form like so:
<%= Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Item.ID)%>
However this feels a bit icky. I'd like to know if there is a better cleaner way of doing this?

How can I use use an actionResult to return both a view and a partial view. Actually in case of an ajax request it should send a partial view else it should send a view.
public ActionResult Test(string Name ="", DateTime? Date= null, string sex="" )
{
myModel model = new myModel(Name, Date, Sex);
if(IsAjaxRequest)
return PartialView("partialView", model)
else
return View(model);
}

I have a view that is based on a view model. This model has a single property called Entity, of type ServiceProvider, which is a Linq2SQL object. This object has relationships to 2 other objects Address and ServiceProviderGroup. In a HTML view I have textboxes that allow the properties of the Entity property to be changed and also the properties of the Address object related to it.
E.g: ViewModel.Entity.Code, ViewModel.Entity.Name, ViewModel.Entity.Address.City, etc, etc.
There is also a selectlist that will allow the Entity.GroupId (int) property to be changed. This defines a relationship to the ServiceProviderGroup class which is also accessible via a Group propery. (standard linq2sql back references)
The Edit[Post] method accepts an instance of this view model and all properties (on the Entity, Entity.Address properties) are set as expected. I then lookup the original object in the database and I also bring back the original address and group data.
E.G: entity => entity.Code == viewModel.Code && entity.Address.Id == viewModel.Address.Id && entity.Group.Id == viewModel.Entity.GroupId (I'm not looking at the code, but it's something similar to this)
Either way the original Entity, Entity.Address, etc, come back from the database. I then apply the changes from the view model to the original object using UpdateModel and everything is updated as expected. But, if I try to change Entity.GroupId, i.e. change the relationship on the entity to another ServiceGroupProvider object, I get an exception in the generated code of the ServiceProvider object.
This happens in the GroupId property of the ServiceProvider class (viewModel.Entity). When it reaches the line if(!this.HasLoadedOrAssignedValue) it enters the "if" statement and throws an exception. When the data is first read from the database it skips this part. But, when UpdateModel attempts to apply the new Entity.GroupId value it throws the exception.

I'm trying to pass a list of items from a LINQ query to a View, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to resolve a type issue. Here's the error:
The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Data.Linq.DataQuery`1[Project.Models.Diagnostic]' but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'Project.Models.Diagnostic'.
The issue seems to originate with this code from my Controller:
[Code]....
I tried changing the IQueryable<Diagnostic> to var and got the same error. Also played around with something like:
[Code]....
But then VS2008 says that diagnostics could never be null, and that's may not the best (or even valid) way to do it.

I would like to pass List<SelectListItem> (not selected item but the whole "List" object) back to controller.
for example in my GET controller i would have this
ViewData["list"] = some select list from repository;
then on post I would like to get the list back from view..pretty much i'm trying to use ViewData["list"] as storage..this way I would use ajax to remove or add items to/from the list.

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 really new to MVC (just started a few weeks ago) and new to Ajax (never looked at it before today). I need some design / technical advice concerning Ajax, MVC, loading partial views, and posting / getting from a view. What I'd like to do it load a partial view that takes in a list of objects that have been queried from my db into an details-type view. The details view already has some other content that has been handeled and loaded from information pulled from my database and setup through some actions. It is strongly types to a model.
Below is the partial view I've created thus far:
[Code]....
And here's a portion of the Details page:
[Code]....
I'm not sure what to do for the Ajax.ActionLink. I'd like for a use to be able to type into the text box on it's left and hit "Add" (the Ajax link) and have the application add the content in the text box to the database. Should it be something else? An <input>? The Controller code piece is below:
[Code]....
So it should be adding the member into the repo / db and then reload the contents of the partialview. Instead, it's reloading the whole page and not just the partial view. (the url is changing from /project/details/5 to /project/membersection/).

I have an application that allows admins to add types such as document types and training types that are in seperate tables with a foreign key in a transaction table.
When structuring my class I decided to go with an abstract-like pattern (without the factory methods though). So I have a Type abstract class that defines my Save, Delete, and GetList methods. I have a training type class that inherits this class. The thing is all types have 3 main properties - defined in the abstract base - but have different source tables and thus different store procedures in my DbCommand object. So basically I repeat setting up the same parameters on all the derived classes. I would like to implement the common stuff in the base but I am getting thrown off by the difference in data sources.

I need to pass a list of Entity Objects from Controller to View but not put it in the Model context. It is the users homepage, but I am putting a list of alerts on the users home page(somewhat like facebook). So I need the User Context as the Model I pass but need to pass the Alert model as well so I can show the list of alerts.. How would I do that? The code below is what I have so far..

I have an Employee model that has a Name and Company
I want to be able to build multiple Employees in one CREATE view. I figured I need to create an IList<Employee> and do something like:
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m[0].Name) %>
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m[0].Company) %>
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m[1].Name) %>
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m[1].Company) %>
If a user clicks on "Add another employee", I want the view to make another form for the new employee:
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m[3].Name) %>
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m[3].Company) %>
And continue to add form items (and increment the array index if they click on it again).
Keep in mind that I need to build the form and the list dynamically in the create view. I don't already have a populated list of Employees.

I have a form that I don't want to post back so I need to get the form values into my controller via jquery's ajax method.Here is my test controller method:
[Code]....
When I debug the controller method and look at the lineItems parameter, it always contains 0 items. I've tried various formats for the javascipt lineItems parameter but still 0 items. I'm also open to some other way of getting these values in like the jquery form serialze method or something else.
