MVC :: Accessing Search String Value In The Controller?
Apr 8, 2010
Using MVC2 and C#:
I have textbox that is going to be used for searching. I would like to access the data entered in this textbox in the Controller, so I can filter results in my list. I've found a couple ways to accomplich this, but haven't been successful with any. The way that I like the most is using action method parameters. Here's what I have setup; can someone tell me where I am going wrong or supply a simple example:
I have a SearchDetails view that is basically a textbox:
[Code]....
Here's the search details method from the controller:
[Code]....
Here's the search results method from the controller (where I'm trying to access the data from the textbox):
[Code]....
I added a break on the line with 'test' string and 'txtInvestigator' is null. I've also tried to make these methods GET requests and try to access the textbox value directly with Request.QueryString. It seems like I'm close, but must be missing something fairly obvious. As an aside, I already have a List() method in the controller that lists all the items from a table in my DB so I am making a little progress!

I'm overriding the OnActionExecuting method in a base Controller. When a form gets posted - anywhere, I want to check for a certain form element in this method. In any Controller method I can just include the FormCollection as one of the params in its signature, but if I try that with the OnActionExecuting method I get an error saying that there's no suitable method to override. How can I get past this?

In a webforms application, it's possible to add a server control to the markup and then access that control from the corresponding code behind file, but I'm not sure of the MVC equivalent of this functionality.
I've been looking at some tutorials, and it appears that in MVC applications, instead of using server controls, the examples are using HTML helpers, such as Html.TextBox, etc.
However, while I can find examples html helpers in views, I can't find any examples of how these helpers are accessed in the controllers, so I've declared an Html.TextBox in my view but don't know how to access its value in the controller when I hit enter.

I've got an .aspx page with this in it:
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Mvc" %>
<%= AssetController.ScriptTag("/js/Community/CommunityWizard.js")%>
And I have an AssetController class:
Imports System.Web.Mvc
Public Class AssetController
Inherits Controller
Public Shared Function ScriptTag(ByVal src As String) As String
Return String.Format(
"<script type='text/javascript' src='/js.mvc?src={0}&{1}'></script>",
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode(src),
New BuildVersion().ToString()
)
End Function
End Class
The project has a reference added to the 3.0.0.0 version of System.Web.Mvc assembly. When I try to view the page in a browser, I get a HTTP 500 with this message:
BC30007: Reference required to
assembly 'System.Web.Mvc,
Version=3.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'
containing the base class
'System.Web.Mvc.Controller'. Add one to your project.
What gives? I don't understand why I can use this controller everywhere in our ASP.NET Forms/MVC hybrid application, but not in a view. EDIT: In fact, when I type <% System.Web. into the .aspx view, Mvc doesn't even appear in Intellisense!

To get all the bar jokes ..etc
The way I have my route right now is:
{controller}/{action}/{id}
which means I have to type:
www.mysite.com/category/index/bar
the problem is that even with that, the string parameter "bar" isn't being acknowledged ! ( I know from debugging). Here is my Index action in the Category controller:

In an ASP.NET MVC 2 application, how would I obtain the Type of the controller that would be used, given the information about the route: string action, string controller, object routeValues?
(The routeValues object might look like this new {area="admin"} and route to a controller for a different site area.)

UML and Patterns: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development, that follows the UP(Unified Process). It uses a Grasp Controller pattern to interact with domain classes by some methods like NewSale(), AddNewItemToSale() and CloseSale. In windows form, I can instantiate a object of this class in the UI and then use its methods to perform the actions. This works well in Client apps, but when I use asp.net mvc, I cannot find a way to instantiate an object (one for each user) that was always visible for a Controller (MVC). I cannot insert as an attribute inside Controller because it always create a new one.

I have just upgraded a large project to MVC 2 (50+ controllers) and whilst the project builds fine I am having issues in several places because it looks like the way the Controller.UpdateModel method handles emtpy strings has changed.
In MVC 1 it set the associated property to an empty string but in MVC2 it's setting it to null.

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?

To give some background details, I have created a website for a friend that has a few pages that require a database in the background. I've used Visual Studio templates for most of it, so there's the standard ASPNETDB.MDF file that's created for users and groups, a login page and a page to view and manage those users etc etc. The login page uses the standard controls for logging in, retrieving lost passwords and so on. Being standard controls, by default they get the connection string from the web.config file. Upon attempting to upload the site to my host (1and1.co.uk in case anyone else has any dealings with them) I discovered that storing the connectionstring doesn't work. 1and1 support say that the sql databases can only be accessed using scripts like this (this is an example of theirs):
<html>
<title>Queries from the MS-SQL database with ASP</title>
<body bgcolor="FFFFFF">
<h2>Query from table <b>products</b> with ASP</h2>
<%
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA SOURCE=mssqxxx.1and1.com;UID=dboxxxxxxxxx;PWD=xxxxxxxx;DATABASE=dbxxxxxxxxx"
'This code block will create a recordset
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
SQL = "select * from products"
rs.open SQL, conn
'will iterate to display the records got from the database
While Not rs.EOF
response.write(rs("id") & " " & rs("price"))
rs.MoveNext
Wend
'closes the connection
rs.close
conn.close
Set rs = Nothing
Set conn = Nothing
%>
</body>
</html>
So my question, is it possible to get the standard asp.net controls to access a database through a script like this?

I want to create an Select SQL string by some search fields. Since I can't check the blank ones, otherwize it would look for blank, I have to do this on steps, adding them if they where not in blank, so, for that I am using something like this:
String SearchString = "SELECT * FROM Sala ";
String SelectWhere = "WHERE "; //This where is because I may receive all empty, so, the WHERE would make problems in the string.
If (TextClassroom.Text != "") {
SelectWhere += "(Classroom = " + Classroom.Text + ")";
}
But here is the issue. I may search for more than one at once, and that, would make me have to put an "AND" clause between them. How do I check that in the less number of lines as possible? I made a count variable, so I can count when it has been entered. But, getting to the third time it gets in, I have to check if the number is 1, or the number is 2, to see if I need to put an AND, right? And that would start making hard when we have, like, 10 fields. Is there an easier way to check when to put the AND without that many checks inside checks of empty texts?

I'm working on a job seeking website where the job seeker can search for a job , the search box is located in the master page, that's why i passed the keywords as a query string, and then the matching jobs will be displayed in a listview.
the keywords will be taken from two controls: a drop down list which the user can choose the location of the job, and a text box where he can type a keyword.
the select command of the sqlDataSource of the data list is as the following:

I have a simple model where a Person has Gifts. I have a view which is a list of Gifts belonging to one Person.
My problem is with the Create action for a new Gift. I want it to default to the PersonID that we are already viewing the list of Gifts for. I tried simply passing the last PersonID (they are all the same)
Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create", new { id = Model.Last().PersonID }) which works fine if there is already at least one Gift for that person but if this is the first Gift I don't have a value.
My Gift List controller knows the PersonID I want to pass but the view doesn't.
How do I pass this PersonID from my Gift List controller to my Gift Create controller via the Gift List view? Or is there a better way to do this?
