I watched the intro video atleast 20 times trying to figure out how Phil used EditorForModel instead of the generated Edited fields when using Add View > View content(Edit).
How do you use a class (entity) instead of the generated fields?
I tried view and model below in MVCMusicStore sample in .NET 3.5 MVC2 .
If submit button is pressed, empty first name field is accepted witohut any error message. How to force validation so that
only valid data is accepted ?[Code]....

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.
Somebody knows the answer? I'm using L2S with field ntext in my db
View 1 Repliesi 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.
View 5 RepliesMy test shows it doesn't work. It ignores the nested data in model.
View 1 RepliesHow can i use editorfromodel and dropdownlists that are to be populated by tables in my model? Seems i can use custom templates to format the major datatypes like datetime, string etc but i how can i manage select lists or dropdowns since i cant pass classes into editorformodel..
Is there a way to force a particular field to be formatted as a dropdownlist in editorformodel?
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]
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?
do you think it would be difficult to write a framework where mvc compares last html it output to the current html we want to output, and instead of sending the entire html, figure out what has changed and generate js code that will do the updating as compared to previous html? (presuming nothing was manually changed on the client using js).
View 2 RepliesThe following seems reasonable, but it returns an error:
<asp:Repeater ID="RepeaterF" runat="server" DataSourceID="DSF" >
<ItemTemplate>
<%
If Eval("Item_Batch") = 0 Then
%><tr><td></td><td colspan="2"></td><td></td></tr><%
Else %>........
Error: "Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control."
I am finding it difficult to accept that the whole Repeater approach has any benefits over just creating a loop in code, iterating through a recordset, and building a html table into a variable, then dumping it to the page. This repeater is spawning pages of code and objects, and surely this is all using up server resources.

View 2 RepliesI have to break a HTML content string in to multiple lines. And each line should have some fixed characters, 50 or 60 Also I don't want to break the word..or html tags...
ex : <p>Email: <a href="mailto:someone@gmail.com">someone@gmail.com</a></p>
<p><em>"Text goes <font color=red>Hello world</font> Text goes here and Text goes here Text goes here 1976."</em> </p>

I am working on an ASP.NET MVC 2 project with VS 2010 and out of nothing I get the following errors on my views:
The name 'Html' does not exist in the current context
The name 'Model' does not exist in the current context
It is like it is not recongnizing the MVC Html and Model classes.
I have System.Web.Mvc on my references and on Web.Config I have:
[Code]....
I want to catch the html button click event on a class file including html text box value..
[code]....
I think I need to drop in some escape characters, but I'm not quite sure where. Here is the javascript function I'm attempting to call:
function setData(associateValue, reviewDateValue) {
var associate = document.getElementById("Associate");
var reviewDate = document.getElementById("ReviewDate");
associate.value = associateValue;
reviewDate.value = reviewDateValue;
}
Here is the asp .net mvc line where I'm attempting to create a Radio button with a click event that calls the above function and passes data from the model as javascript parameter values.
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('<%=item.Associate%>','<%=item.ReviewDate%>' )" } )%>
The above throws a bunch of compile issues and doesn't work. A call such as the following does call the javascript, but doesn't get the data from the model.
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('item.Associate','item.ReviewDate' )" } )%>
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('item.Associate','item.ReviewDate' )" } )%>
<% String functionCall = String.Format("setData('{0}','{1}')", Html.Encode(item.Associate), Html.Encode(item.ReviewDate )) ; %>
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick=functionCall } )%>

So, Is there any ways that I can show this in Text box as what I need. While debugging the code, when I did HTML Visulaliser, it showed me correct format. How can I achive this in my Textbox control.
I have a Microsoft MVC project with an action "Foo" whose view ("Foo.aspx") contains the lines:
<%= Html.ActionLink("mylinktext1", "bar") %>
<%= Html.ActionLink<MyController>(x => x.Bar(), "mylinktext2") %>
When I hit this from a web browser or load it from an AJAX call, it properly returns:
<a href="/bar">mylinktext1</a>
<a href="/Bar">mylinktext2</a>
But when I call the action from another view like this:
<% Html.RenderAction<MyController>(x => x.Foo()); %>
Then the links are rendered without targets.
<a href="">mylinktext1</a>
<a href="">mylinktext2</a>
Why would this be happening, and how do I work around it?

View 3 RepliesI am attempting to replace this god awful collection of regular expressions that is currently used to clean up blocks of poorly formed HTML and stumbled upon the HTML Agility Pack for C#. It looks very powerful but yet, I couldn't find an example of how I want to use the pack which, in my mind, would be a desired functionality included in it. I am sure I am an idiot and cannot find a suitable method in the documentation. I had the following html:

View 1 Repliesanyone knows how to replace a html tag in a string with specific characters:
e.g.
string s1 = "<span style="italic">inluding <span style="bold">other</span> tags </span>";
string s2 = "<span style="italic">inluding </span><span style="bold">other tags </span>";
i want to replace "span" with "bold" to "bOpen" and "bClose" and to replace "span" with "italic" to "iOpen" and "iClose" in both c# and javascript.
i did use regular expression to do that: res = Regex.Replace(res, ".*?", replaceHtmlBold); but it cant match the nested tag and none-nested tag at the same time.
