MVC :: Bug In EditorForModel W/ EditorFor Rendering?
Jan 18, 2010
I am learning MVC using the v2 release with Entity Framework v4. Let's say I have 3 objects Game, Points and Players. They are related in the following manner:Game has points and the Points can have a player associated with them ( 1 Game to many Points and a Point object can have one Player).
I am attempting to use the EditTemplates feature in MVC2 to render my views. In my Game Edit view I want to have the basic Game object information editable, and also the related Points objects. Currently I am utilizing "`<%= Html.EditorForModel() %>`"(Which seems pretty slow) to render the Edit View and then I have a specific Game and Point EditTemplates.
The data renders correctly and is editable for both the Game and Point information. When I go to perform the update and submit the form I receive the "Game" object in my Update ActionResult. The basic properties are populated for the Game object but any deep properties such as Points are not; they appear as null. If I look at the Request.Form variables in debug I can see the Points fields are being passed to the server but do not place themselves back into the Game object.
In my Game EditTemplate I am using the following to render the Points objects:
<%= Html.EditorFor(c => c.Points) %>
My Points EditTemplate looks like: [code]...
why this is rendering as "Points.Points[index] instead of Points[index]? I tried messing with the parameters in the EditFor:
<%= Html.EditorFor(c => c.Points,null,"Points") %>
but then the inputs render as Points.Points[index]

In my LogOnViewModel.cs :[Code]....I have this code, and on the view control, i call <%: Html.EditorForModel()%>
Then I have something like this look:
UserName:|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| <- TextBox
Password:||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| <- TextBox
ㅁ <- Checkbox
||Login|| <- submit button
how do i change the layout of this template? I want to change the text and change the position of the textboxes.I know that I can customize it by calling individual fields and write hard-coding, but I am curious if there is a way to use EditorForModel() in easier.

How can I use DisplayForModel in a loop with a View for which I've passed a collection of objects? That is, within the loop I want to call DisplayForModel each time for the specific object (not the collection). Or does MVC not currently support this?
So I'll like to be able to do something like in the below, but this itself doesn't work.

I've been tinkering with the Nerddinner tutorial (upgraded to the new MVC 2.0 version actually) and I am trying to figure out how to dynamically hide/show fields in the EditorForModel template.I have added a new field to the model and a dropdown list for it in the editor, and I would like to be able to toggle the visibility on a couple of textboxes if a user selects a particular value from the dropdown list.
I did manage to access/manipulate the values of the textboxes using javascript (by altering the "onblur" example in the tutorial app), but couldn't figure out how to access the properties of them.

I have written an Enum extension method that allows me to create a view model and allows me to easily bind a generic Enum to a SelctList like:this.ProductStatusList = new ProductStatusTypes().BindToSelectList<ProductStatusTypes>
(product.Status.ToString());
In my View I can then have:
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
<fieldset> [code]...
Notice I am using EditorForModel and then a seperate DropDownList. My question is: Is there a way to get the EditorForModel to be clever enough to pick up that I want to use a SelectList instead of a TextBox for status?

i am working an asp.net mvc 2 web app using model metadata and some of the model metadata don't seem to work when using the default Html.EditorForModel().For example, when applying the DefaultValue(1) and the ReadOnly(true) attributes on a model field, the field displayed on edit view has zero for its default value and it is not read only.

So I have two nested view models, CreditCard -> BillAddress. I have a view, "EditBilling", that has EditorFor(CreditCard). The CreditCard EditorTemplate has EditorFor(BillAddress), and the BillAddress EditorTemplate has EditorFor(BillState).
The end result is a select list with id "CreditCard_BillAddress_BillState".
I need to reference this in javascript, thus need to know the ID. In other situations, with non-nested ViewModels, I have used the following code:
$('#<%= ViewData.ModelMetadata.PropertyName %>_BillState')
The problem here is that the ModelMetadata.PropertyName property is only aware of the current property, not the parent(s). So I end up with the following:
$('#BillAddress_BillState')
How does one go about getting the client ID of nested strongly typed helpers?

The lack of an EditorFor file in asp.net mvc 3 seems like such a glaring omission I wonder: Is there some way that mvc handles file uploads that is just not publicized that well? As near as I can tell there is no built in way to handle file uploads.I'm just curious if the file upload capability is in fact there and I'm just missing it, or if it does not exist at all.

I've been trying to something with the templating system in MVC2, but what I thought should be simple has not been successful. So now I question if it's possible or if I'm missing anything obvious. The scenario:
I have a base template as a strongly typed view that is set up in the ViewsSharedEditorTemplates folder...call it CommonItem.ascx. It wants a model item of type MyItemType.
I have a template that is a wrapper around the previous template, is also strongly typed of type MyItemType, residing in the same folder. Call this one CommonItemWrapper.ascx.The contents of CommonItemWrapper.ascx includes divs before/after a declaration Html.EditorForModel("CommonItem").
My expectation would be that the inner template (CommonItem) would be displayed within the outer template. Unfortunately the inner template never gets evaluated.
Am I missing something? Am I mistaken in thinking that templates can be nested in this manner? If so, is there another means to accomplish this?

I am looking on Music store example:
In Model we have:
[Required(ErrorMessage = "An Album Title is required")]
public string Title { get; set; }
In a View we have a Razor code:
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Title)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Title)
</div>
My questions: Where I can find definition of EditorFor and ValidationMessageFor helpers?
What is the meaning of "=>" in the above command?

I would like to exclude one of model's property from the Html.EditorFor. I tried [HiddenInput(DisplayValue=false)] but it renders the property as an hidden input. This could potentially be a security problem. How can we completely exclude a field from Html.EditorFor?

I'm trying to do this: Editing a variable length list, ASP.NET MVC 2-style
In the post he mentions that it could be done with less code using Html.EditorFor(), but that it would be more difficult because of the indexes. Well, that's exactly what I want to do, and I don't know where to begin.
Update 1: Instead of generating a GUID for each item in the collection, I'd like to generate incremental indexes starting with 0. Right now the field names look like "gifts[GUID].value"; I would like them to be "gifts[0].value","gifts1.value" etc. but I don't understand how the collection keeps track and generates these indices.

I'm trying to add a `Class` to the `EditorFor` Helper inside an `EditorTemplate`.
The problem is that because I'm using Unobtrusive Validation, the input element already has classes assigned to it.
Here is my EditorTemplate
[Code]....
And here is the output <input class="text-box single-line" id="BirthDate" name="BirthDate" type="text" value="08/08/1980" />
You can see here that the `datepicker` class has not been added, yet the "value" has been properly formatted.
Basically I can see that the `EditorTemplate` is working, but the `Class` is not being appended to the rest of the classes on the `<input>` element. Do any of you know how to fix this?

I am using EditorFor to display values.
The code for the values to be generated are as follows:
<tr>
<td>@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.ID)@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.Authorized)</td>
<td>@Html.DisplayFor(m => m.ID)</td>
<td>@Html.DisplayFor(m=>m.UserName) </td>
</tr>
My aim here is upon the Checkbox is being checked, I need to post the ID value as follows:
[Code]....
However, var ID = $(this).parent().parent().find('#ID').val(); is undefined. How can I he read the ID value from the following generated HTML:
<td><input id="Employee_0__ID" name="Employee[0].ID" type="hidden" value="1100" /><input id="Employee_0__Authorized" name="Employee[0].Authorized" type="checkbox" value="true" /><input name="Employee[0].Authorized" type="hidden" value="false" /></td>
<td>user </td>

Generally speaking we create a custom view for each page. So for an edit view of a car the model might be:
Car CarToEdit{ get; set;}
List<SelectListItem> CarManufacturers{ get; set;}
This has the advantage of giving a strongly typed view. It doesn't decouple the data layer well, but that is a separate issue. I'd then need to do something like (very approx syntax) :
<%= Html.DropDownList("ManufacturerId", Model.CarManufacturers)%>
Because of this, I can't use an EditorFor, and just pass in the model, as it would not render out the dropdownlists. So I think why not annotate the manufacturer field with UIHInt... great that works. ... but how do I pass in the data (both the manufacturerId, and the List<SelectListItem> to the hinted field?One solution is to have the UIHint control do a RenderAction. So the main view would include a line like:
[Code]....
Which would in turn go and render a view :
[Code]....
This works, but seems a little long winded. Can anyone suggest better ways of achieving this?Is anyone actually using UIHint?Also it would be good to be able to cache the output from the partial view (the dropdownlist) which is called from the RenderAction method... but output caches are is basically ignored on a render action (unless I've missed the point here).

I'm finding my self with the problem that if I do not show the Template for a "complex" object I have in the main view object I still get the errors in the summary. How do i get around this?
I've got a model with say:
->Persons (has its own editor template)
->Pets(has its own editor template)
In the create view I show each one depending if they are not null. But when I try to validate HouseType and say I have Persons not null and pets is null. I get errors of validation for pets.
How do I get around this?
