MVC :: Complex View And Data Binding?
Mar 15, 2010
In my past I had created the following web page in web forms and I'm learning asp.net mvc right now , I had given it a tought and I run into conclusion I really wont know how to do the same page with asp.net mvc
before explaining you the actuall problem I would explain you the Model The model is a pretty simple , it for few columns which are bool , and a lot of them which are varchar(MAX) The View is built the following way
the bool parts of curse got a check box but the varchar parts are the complicated ones In my web form page i got the following code for each varchar property in my database
[Code]....
my server script gets the following page apon submit and checks if radio button 1 or 2 is selected if 1. it inserts the link as it is into colmn property while if it is 2. it saves the file on the server and saves the file location into the colmn property.

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?

I'm trying to implement a recipe search page that allows users to specify search criteria by selecting checkboxes that match desired recipe attributes. All the data is stored in a database uing tables with 1 - many relationships. Each recipe can have multiple attributes from any of 5 attribute tables. I want to find all the recipes that match the user-selected criteria and display them in a grid. For example, the user may want a breakfast (attribute 1) recipe that is made with fruit and milk (attributes 2 and 3), is low-fat and high fiber (attributes 4 and 5), and takes less than 15 minutes to prepare (attribute 6). The query for this example might look something like:
SELECT distinct recipes.name, recipes.difficulty, recipes.preptime, recipes.cooktime
FROM recipes, recipeMeals, recipeDishes, recipeFoodGrps, recipeNutrients, recipeFixTimes
WHERE recipes.id = recipeMeals.recipeId and recipes.id = recipeDishes.recipeId and recipes.id = recipeFoodGrps.recipeId and recipes.id = recipeNutrients.recipeId and recipes.id = recipeFixTimes.recipeId and recipeMeals.mealId in (1) and
recipeDishes.dishId in (5) and recipeFoodGrps.fdGrpId in (1, 6) and recipeNutrients.nutrAttsId in (2, 3) and recipeFixTimes.fixTimeId in (1)
I' can generate the SQL but can't figure out how to bind it to a grid control. No could I see how to get any of the data controls to build the query for me. Is there a way to say "execute this query and display the results in a GridView"?

We know that using something like Bind("CustomerName") can be used in the Text property of a label control inside a gridview, where CustomerName is a property of the object whose collection is bound to the gridview. If that property is of a complex type (object of another class), how do we use a property of that inline object as a binding for the gridview column?

I'm having trouble finding a good tutorial on binding complex lists to an object. Essentially we have currencies that are user defined, we need to generate a form for each currency to allow the user to input exchange rates. I think I'm doing my list properly according to this post, however I'm not getting any data bound. here is my ASPX snippit.

consider classic example: Product and Category editing Product in dropdown Id of Category is selected - Category mapped as object with all fields empty except Id when submitting Product edit form - validation gives an error: "Category name is required" (I have Required attribute on Category Name property)
How deal with such errors if I want to use built-in validation (
[Code]....
Writing custom data binder which would fill all such id-only-objects with values from database comes to mind.
upd: I did small research of mvc code and found out that validation happens before binding - so this solution would't work.

I am using ASP.Net MVC2 and LINQ to SQL. I am using DataAnnotations and model binding in conjunction with a Form/View and its working beautifully well. Loving that.. My view is an "Add new Employee" form that's adding a new "Employee" complex object. Every Employee also has a child complex object called an "Address".
I am using the bound Html helpers in the view, such as Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.NewEmployee.FirstName) for example. Working beautifully well, validating beautifully well both client and server and coming into the controller fully populated and ready to be saved! Exciting.. ModelState.IsValid returns true and I go to save the new Employee.
The Employee is created fine but the system also creates a blank/new Address record in my Addresses table even when the Address fields are blank! How can I prevent any Address from being created, in situations where I ONLY want to create a new Employee with no Address. An example is when the user supplies an existing Address, then I wish to simply set the new Employee's AddressID to that of an existing physical address (I hope that makes sense). But it could apply to any situation where you need to create a new complex object, but you don't wish for LINQ to create any of its child complex objects. I have tried setting NewEmployee.Address = null after it is received in the controller, but even after that, a blank/new Address is still created. Even if I try NewEmployee.Address = SomeExistingAddress, it does correctly link the Employee to the existing Address, but it STILL goes off and creates another redundant new/blank address record! Which is really weird..

I have a "Create New Employee" ASP.Net MVC form. My complex object is an Employee and an Employee has an Address, which is another Complex object. On my View/Form I collect all required values for both the Employee and the Address. I'm using the bound HTML helpers such as: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.EmployeeAddress.StreetName)
AND
Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.NewEmployee.FirstName)
This is all working beautifully well. Model binding is working like a dream, both server side and client side validation using DataAnnotations is working beautifully well and I am nicely receiving my populated complex objects as expected in the Controller.. Now I'm trying to save.. The Employee should always be newly created, because its an "Add New Employee" form. But sometimes the Address is an existing Address and I don't want to insert another one. Rather, I just want to link the Employee to the existing AddressID of the one that already exists in the database.
So I wrote a nifty GetExistingOrCreateNewAddress(Address PostedAddress) method which works great so I end up with the correct Address to use and link to the about to be saved Employee object. This is all happening in the same DataContext, so no problems there..
BUT even when I link the about to be saved Employee object to an existing Address, on save a new/empty Address row is created in my Addresses table. Even though the newly created Employee does link correctly to the existing Address I told it to! Why is it so??? And how can I save the new Employee without LINQ automatically creating a blank Address for me. Because I'm explicitly specifying an existing Address it should be linked to instead!
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CreateEmployee(EmployeeDetailsViewModel NewEmployeeDetails)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
EmployeeRepository ER = new EmployeeeRepository();
// Fetch or Create the appropriate Address object for what has been entered
Address ActualAddress = ER.GetExistingOrCreateNewAddress(NewEmployeeDetails.EnteredAddress);
// Link this Address to the "about to be saved" Employee
NewEmployeeDetails.Employee.Address = ActualAddress;
// Lock it in..
ER.SaveNewEmployee(NewEmployeeDetails.Employee);

Basically I have a page where a user can select up to 3 vehicles by make and model. I have 3 divs on the page that is generated with a basic foreach loop. When the user selects a make and model from respective dropdown lists I am firing a javascript function that returns a JSonResult that loads a dynamic partial view into a seperate div. This partial view displays a div with a grid whereby the user can select one of n-number of services using a checkbox.Next what I would like to do is if the user selects a servce for the one of the vehicle selections, I would like to add this selection to a list of "ServiceSelection" that is part of my viewmodel. Ultimately the user would click a button that would redirect to the next step in the process and pass the entire updated viewmodel to this new page.

I have an user view model that has the following properties:
public User user;
public List<Language> Languages;
I send the above model to the view and use html helpers to build the form, so I end up with something like:
<form action="/Users/Edit/5" method="post"><input id="user_UserId" name="user.UserId" type="hidden" value="5" />
First Name
Last Name
Email
Language
Now, I try to read the POST in something that initially was something like :
[AcceptVerbs( HttpVerbs.Post )]
public ActionResult Edit( int UserId, FormCollection form ) {
and cannot get the user.UserId variable, user.FirstName variable etc.
what needs to be done to be able to read this kind of POST request. I'm kind of reluctant to modifying my ViewModel as it is very simple and easy to maintain as it is.

I have a question regarding validation of drop-down list values. I have a view that is bound to a view model type called ReservationData.
This object contains a property CustomerVehicles of type List<VehicleData>. VehicleDatahas two int properties VehicleMakeId and VehicleModelId.
On my view I am trying to loop over the number of items in the CustomerVehicles collection and displaying two dropdowns for each, a vehicle make dropdown and a vehicle model dropdown usingDropDownListFor.
When I try to submit and validate I do not see any validation errors displayed on the screen.
Just in case you are wondering I have added a ValidationMessageFor for each dropdown as well. I am not sure if this is an issue with the structure of my view model and its complexity and how the controls need to be named or how the ids need to be set.
Here is the code for the looping over the collection:

I have a somewhat complex model that I need to pass to a MVC 2 Create view so its properties can be filled out. I'm not sure how to actually create this model as it has some relationship data that must also be filled out during the creation process.My main model is a Game. Most of its properties are scalar. It contains a foreign key to Content, for the game reviews, and there's a many-to-many relationship between Games and Platforms - games can be on a variety of platforms (PS3, XBox 360, etc.), and each platform has a library of games.When I pass data to my Edit view, it's as simple as:
[Code]....
I'm unsure what to do in the case of Create as I'm not sure how to link the associated parts - Content and Platforms - to a Game object.

I have one view page (MyView.aspx) and many data sources to bind on this page. Lets say it has Books, Publishers, Comments, etc. Each one of those has an object which provides a List, List, etc. In my view, what are my optiosn for multilple model biding? I want to check to see if each one is empty, and then enumerate it. But I can't check Model.Count() because wouldn't Model be made of all those objects if I set the page to inheriet from? What are my options? Should I load each content area in a control/partial view? Or can I just dump each object into ViewData and then check the count by casting in the view?

I have a form in which I have a dropdown list and a list box.
This dropdownlist is populated by a column in thetable . This drop down list may have values ranging from 1 to 5.
This values in the dropdownlist are to be made the caption headings of the list view control.
For insance if there are three values in the dropdown there should be three columns in the list box with the heading as the values of the dropdownlist.for 5 it should be 5.
Also there are two additional columns which would be constant.

Also, maybe I should be going about this another way as I wanted to add a drop down to each record and a link to each record.On pointers on how I should do this would be great too.
