In my view I have this:
[Code]....
The SiteId is of the type System.Guid. When this is posted to the action of my controller, then ModelState.IsValid returns false, which is actually normal because I have this in the generated HTML:
[Code]....
How can I make sure that the first option is <option value="0"></option>?
I'm new in ASP.NET MVC 2 and I'd like to write a very simple dropdown list which gives static options. For example I'd like to provide choices between "Red", "Blue", and "Green".
View 2 RepliesI have small design question about
html.DropDownListFor()
How can i change width of html.DropDownListFor() ??
For example by css.
I have the following code:
[Code]....
However, the wrong option is selected, and when I view page source, it renders like this:
[Code]....
Why is this occurring?
I am looking at ASP.NET MVC2 and trying to post a complex object using the new EditorFor syntax.I have a FraudDto object that has a FraudCategory child object and I want to set this object from the values that are posted from the form.Posting a simple object is not a problem but I am struggling with how to handle complex objects with child objects.I have the following parent FraudDto object whcih I am binding to on the form:
public class FraudDto
{
public FraudCategoryDto FraudCategory { get; set; }

Learning about dropdown lists, Im trying to add a RSVP create page for nerddinner as in Scott Gu's blog with a Html.DropDownListFor listing available dinners. I can get the dropdown list populated but I cannot get the dropdown to pre select the value ("Sample Dinner 2") I want. Im using an initilizer to seed a few dinner objects in the db. The database is sql ce 4 using a EF 'code first approach'. Sorry I know this is a v common problem and hate to ask, but honestly have spent quite some time on this but cant get it to work:
ViewModel
public class RSVPViewModel
{
public SelectList DinnersList { get; set; }
public RSVP Rsvp { get; set; }
public string SelectedItem { get; set; }
}
[code]...
So is not preselecting the dropdownlist with the value "Sample Dinner 2" when the page loads. The list displays ok and sets the correct DinnerID when I make a selection and click Submit.Tries this also:
@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.SelectedItem, Model.DinnersList)
but doesnt set or bind to Rsvp.DinnerID.This preselects from the list but doesnt bind (or set Rsvp.DinnerID)
@Html.DropDownList("DinnersList")
I want to keep it mvc3 so want to implement with strong type using ViewModel approach (no ViewData) and preferably using Html.DropDownListFor (not Html.DropDownList).Viewbag seems unnecessary for this case.Thinking I should be using a selectList of selectListItems I tried this verbose approach :
RSVP rsvp = new RSVP();
string selected = "2";
List<SelectListItem> dinners = new List<SelectListItem>();
foreach (Dinner dinner in dbc.Dinners.ToList())
{
SelectListItem slDinner = new SelectListItem();
slDinner.Value = dinner.DinnerID.ToString();
slDinner.Text = dinner.Title;
slDinner.Selected = (slDinner.Value == selected);
dinners.Add(slDinner);
}
var dinnersList = new SelectList(dinners, "Value", "Text", selected);
var viewModel = new RSVPViewModel { DinnersList = dinnersList, Rsvp = rsvp, SelectedItem = selected };
However still no work. Should I be making use of the ViewModel SelectedItem property in: @Html.DropDownListFor.. somehow? Something like :@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.SelectedItem, Model.DinnersList)but how to I get a selected value to set Rsvp.DinnerID. I think thats called binding.
Why is it that client validation is getting triggered saying that my Default Theme field is required even if I didn't specify a [Required] attribute in my model?
public class Site
{
public int SiteId { get; set; }
Required(ErrorMessage = "*")]
[LocalizedDisplayName("Title")]
public string Title { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "*")]
[LocalizedDisplayName("RootDirectory")]

I have a table, and each row has a column where its data is actually a select list. I want the user to be able to select a drop down item, and when they POST, it saves the Id of the selected item. Is this possible?
I'm trying to model a "Room" each room has a number of Jacks, there are 2 types of Jacks (Data/Voice) - this is the select list.

Something like this does not work. I created a stub in my view model

I don't know how to retrieve a DropDownListFor value on form post and how to validate it.
This is my scenario:
HTML markup:
[Code]....
Model:
[Code]....
I'm not able to validate this dorpdown and when I test if the Model is valid I have to re-fill the Location property
[Code]....
otherwise I get an "object reference not set" error on post-back.
I use the Entity Framework and Linq to Entities with MVC 2.0. When use the DropDownListFor from Html helpers to populate a dropdown that contains an ID from a foreign object, I post the form data but I canīt set the correct relation. Using the debug, I can see the ID retrieved from dropdown at my returned foreign object ID, but I think that I not use the association correctly.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to populate a drop down list from my controller for a create action. I can display the dropdown as I want but when I cannot get the value to be stored in the database. My models:
[Code]....
Controller: [Code]....
View: [Code]....
This above snippet will show me the message "The value '50117dae-a7d7-4371-926f-7b1f7aaec133' is invalid."
if I change the line to @Html.DropDownListFor(ct => ct.CollectionType.CollectionTypeId, new SelectList(ViewBag.CollectionTypes as System.Collections.IEnumerable, "CollectionTypeId", "Title"))
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CollectionType)
the page will not do anything - I believe this could be because the controller is trying to add a new CollectionType.
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...

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:

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.

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.
