This code:
<%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.DonationMessage) %>
Renders an input type=text tag, but I want a textarea. I tried this in my entity but it didn't make a difference:
[DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]
public string DonationMessage { get; set; }
I'm using MVC, and i'm building my own basic blogging engine. I need to be able to allow HTML input to be submitted to the server so it can be added to a database. I only want HTML input allowed in that textarea alone, but I still want my other validation like StringLength etc. How could I do this?
View 4 RepliesI'm working with an MVC1.0 web app and I've found a bit of an odd anomaly.
I have a search box on the first page (normal text box) and the input from this is passed through to the ViewData and on to the second page.
On the second page, I render a TextArea with this search input text from the ViewData.
Eg:
[Code]....
The problem is, there is an extra line break in the TextArea, just above the original text.
Stranger still is that if I now submit this page and the view is reloaded (after validation fails) - the original string of text has been trimmed and has no line breaks, but the TextArea now has 2 line breaks above the original text.
This can be repeated - every time the page reloads it has another line break.
It's driving me insane - does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
FYI, you can check it out yourself - on your mobile phone, browse to [URL], punch something in the search box and hit search. You'll notice one line break added the first time the page loads. Then just hit "Find Best Offer" without entering a budget or selecting a category, and you'll see what I mean about the additional line breaks.
how can i passing a value form ActionResult to html.textbox or Html.TextBoxFor in View
View 2 RepliesI have a comment form inside the blog posts. in the form, if the user is authenticated, I will assign the values of the user into textboxes. that part is as follows;
[Code]....
But when I add HTML.TextBox instead of HTML.TextBoxFor, I am not getting validation if the user erase the fileds. Also, this form is inside the indext page and it is related to another action as follows;

so I cannot assign ModelState.AddModelError from controller.
What should I do here.

The model has a required attribute for the first name property:but I would like to make this happen automatically if the property has the CustomRequiredAttribute. Is there a way to override the Html.TextBoxFor() and check for the attribute on the given property? Or is there another way to accomplish this behaviour?
I am new to Asp.net MVC 2. I am unable to get value for Html.TextBoxFor(m = > m.name) in view. I can get this value in Controller.

How can I format it so that the datetime is displayed as "23-04-2010" without the time portion?
I need a text box which should be exactly of 7 charecters,for which I have written
Html.TextboxFor(x=>x.Number, new {maxLength = "7"};
this case takes me only 7 characters , but if I want to take less than 7, it is taking? Is there any property like maxlength which takes 7 charecters only.
not sure if this is by design or i'm missing a setting. I'm passing a ViewModel to a view. It has a customer record. on the edit section i have Html.TextBoxFor(m=> m.Customer.Name)
not all the fields are in the form. When i post, the model only retains the fields i have boxes for? how can i retain the state of the model?
I want to build my own querystring to go to another page. I do not want to submit the form.How can i get the value from a Html.Textbox in the view to use in my querystring?I want to do something like this:
<a href="mypage.aspx?id=<%= valueTextbox %>">Goto</a>
Html.EditorFor(model=>model.Name)
Html.TextBoxFor(model=>model.Name)
tell the two diff,
do the previous one belong MVC 1.0 and the latter belong MVC 2.0 ? right?
Does any one know how to disable a Html.TextBoxFor HtmlHelper from showing an error via class="input-validation-error", I would like the handle error only via Html.ValidateFor not from the TextBoxFor.

Using Entity Framework with MVC2, I have a series of date textboxes, that I want to display data from the model in a short date format, but I have to use Html.TextBoxFor in order for the update code to work (Having tried using HTML.Textbox the data never gets saved to the model).
<%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Item.Date, String.Format("{0:d}", Model.Item.Date))%>
I've tried manipulating the string format expression, and have added metadata to a partial class mapped to the Entity Framework model class, however still I get the following populating my textboxes at form render:
'01/01/2011 00:00:00' rather than '01/01/2011'
I have a test app with a form view.I cannot get the view to display correctly instead of displaying a series to text boxes it displays quoted html.I suspect that my problem is related to my VB syntax for my Linq The C# equivilant works but my shop uses VB so I must convert the code.Here is the code from the view:

I have a strange problem in my application.whenever i select a suggestion from the autocomplete(jquery) textbox, it first fires a blur event of a textbox first.(When i click the suggestion using mouse). But i want to fire blur event later.What should i do?
View 9 Repliesi have a little problem... I've even googled it but i came to no result
for every page, the first textbox control via
<%: Html.TextboxFor(m => m.XXX) %>
has a different size, the rest ist everytime the same... only the first one is -huge-
I have a page that renders a hidden value from the model:
<%=Html.Hidden("myName", model.myValue) %>
Since I am passing a value in the value parameter, you would think it would output that value, but it doesn't.The code for rendering input fields has the following:
string attemptedValue = (string)htmlHelper.GetModelStateValue(name, typeof(string));
tagBuilder.MergeAttribute("value", attemptedValue ?? ((useViewData) ? htmlHelper.EvalString(name) : valueParameter), isExplicitValue);
Basically, if the ModelState (which contains posted values) contains a value for the "name" passed, it will use that value instead of your passed value to the helper method. In my case, I updated the model and my updated value wasn't outputted.If I pass a value to a method, I expect that value to be rendered.

I have a form with several textarea elements. User enters data and submits the form. On the next page it shows submitted text as static text - in p tags. Obviously New Line and multiple paces get ignored and everything just shows in one line. I can do some preprocessing like replacing New line characters with "br/" and spaces with . but I was wondering if there is a standard solution to that either on server side (C#) or client side (javascript)
