MVC :: Html.ValidationSummary Appears On Initial Load Of Page And It's Empty
Jul 23, 2010
I am not sure what I am doing wrong in how I set up validation on my models and viewmodels. For some reason on several of my views that contain a validation summary, it appears empty on initial load of the page. On some other pages it appears correctly when the form's data is posted and it does not appear on initial load, this is the way that I would expect it to work.
On the views where this is occuring, my viewmodels are somewhat more complex in that they contain another complex type that I am passing around that has it's own set of DataAnnotation Validation properties, but I have called the validation summary like this; Html.ValidationSummary(true) so that those properties are not validated.

I've placed Html.ValidationSummary(true) on my page so that an error can be displayed that are not associated with a field.
This renders the following html <div class="validation-summary-errors"><ul><li style="display: none;"></li> when there are some ModelState errors are present, all of which are associated with a field. ie there are no page level errors
I've put some background and border styles on the div which give the look that I want.
The problem is that the div is visible even though the collection is empty.
I understand why this is happening but was wonder if there where any techniches to prevent the html from being rendered or to hide the div using styles if the ModelState errors collection is empty?
If its possible I'd like to avoid using jquery to hide the validation summary as the site should work without javascript.

I'm writing a simple web site using codebehind for each page, however using the "codefile" directive, not "codebehind" as such, because I'm not precompiling. I'm just using a text editor to edit the aspx and codebehind files. Problem is, every time I make a change to the code or the aspx file, and refresh the page in the browser, it takes a 2 or 3 seconds to come up the first time, like it's doing an on-demand initial compile. I assume that's what it's doing, as after the initial load, the page refreshes without any delay at all.
This behaviour is quite frustrating when making small changes to the html or code. I'm coming from classic ASP, where you could edit-refresh-edit-refresh etc. all day without your "stride" being broken by waiting for a "compile", you know? So I'd love to know if there's a setting which prevents this initial delay. When I want to deploy, I can do a compile or something, but while making lots of small edits, I just need the page to run without that initial delay.

I posted a similar question previously, but none of the answers worked and I've been scouring all over the web trying to find a solution. My situation, I have a Edit Window webform with a dropdownlist (Note: to avoid confusion, I'm using Telerik extensions only to decorate the webform):

And in the code behind, I'm setting the datasource for the dropdownlist and using a function to query the DB for the name of the value I want to set as the selected value when the page loads initially: Partial Class EditFormVB Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Public Shared category_Name As String = ""
Dim ddlDataSource As New SqlDataSource
Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
DetailsView1.DefaultMode = DetailsViewMode.Edit
End Sub
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Me.Page.Title = "Editing record"
''Setup DropDownList SqlDataSource
ddlDataSource.ID = "ReqCategoryData"
Page.Controls.Add(ddlDataSource)
ddlDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("TTPRODReportsQuery").ConnectionString
ddlDataSource.SelectCommand = "SELECT TS_NAME AS ReqCategory FROM dbo.TS_SELECTIONS WHERE (TS_FLDID = 5299 AND TS_STATUS = 0) ORDER BY TS_NAME"
Dim args As New DataSourceSelectArguments
ddlDataSource.Select(args)
''Set max length of Title field to 70 characters
Dim dvrTest As DetailsViewRowCollection = DetailsView1.Rows
Dim TitleTB As TextBox = dvrTest.Item(0).Cells(1).Controls(0)
TitleTB.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "isMaxLen(this)")
TitleTB.Attributes.Add("maxlength", "70")
Dim myDDL As DropDownList = DetailsView1.FindControl("reqCategoryDropDown")
''Perform dropdown list population operations
If Page.IsPostBack = False Then
Dim ticket_ID As String = getDataKey(DetailsView1)
''Fetch Category ID
Dim sqlText As String = "SELECT TS_REQCATEGORY FROM USR_ITFAC WHERE (TS_ID = " + ticket_ID + ") "
Dim reqDataReader As SqlDataReader = GetDataReader(sqlText)
reqDataReader.Read()
Dim category_ID As String = reqDataReader(0)
''Fetch Category name using the categoryID and set as selected value in dropdown list
sqlText = "SELECT TS_NAME FROM TS_SELECTIONS WHERE (TS_ID = " + category_ID + ") "
reqDataReader = GetDataReader(sqlText)
reqDataReader.Read()
category_Name = reqDataReader(0)
myDDL.DataBind()
myDDL.Selectedvalue = category_Name //<--this value gets set only when debugging,
End If
End Sub
Private Function GetDataReader(ByVal sqlText As String) As SqlDataReader
Dim dr As SqlDataReader
Dim sqlConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("TTPRODReportsQuery").ConnectionString)
sqlConn.Open()
Dim sqlCmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(sqlText, sqlConn)
dr = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
Return dr
End Function
End Class
The dropdownlist does get populated appropriately, however when I attempt to set the value, it doesn't reflect when the page loads; the dropdownlist just gets populated and no value is set to selected in the markup, so the first value is shown by default. The odd thing is that when I'm debugging, the value appears to get set when I step through the function, it's as if the selectedvalue is getting reset as soon as the function exits and proceeds to load the page.
SOLUTION: Had to add a separate function that is called onLoad from the DropDownList after the after Page_Load is done executing. Still unresolved is why the the DropDownList rebinds after the Page_Load.
IN HTML:
<asp:DropDownList DataSourceID="ReqCategoryData" DataTextField="ReqCategory" DataValueField="ReqCategory"
ID="reqCategoryDropDown" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnLoad="DDL_DataBound">
IN CODE-BEHIND

about how many are using jQuery to create controls in the DOM after the initial page load.Curious also about any conventions for naming DOM objects in relation to database objects.Seems you could almost render the entire page using jQuery..Does that mean I am only using ASP.Net for the fact that my page methods will run in IIS on the web server?

I've searched around a lot, and honed this problem down to this case: I'm using the PRG pattern, pragmatically I'm using the same DTO for my post/get actions. It looks like when I have the dto with the data annotation attributes in the get action parameter list, the validation is always displaying errors, every time on initial page load. In some cases this could be desired behavior if you put asterisks in the error message, but how do I get rid of it?

I have an application that initially display 4 grid views at page load. This process takes 50-60 seconds and I would like to change the process to display the web page, show message like "Data being loaded, please wait..." and then spin off a thread that fills the various grid view. When this is done I would programatically like to do a post back to show the result. Not sure if this is possible? I tried something like this:

Over the last week I've been investigating an issue for one of our clients whereby the initial page load following a deployment of their website takes around 1 minute, resulting in unacceptable downtime for end users. This was happening not only for code deplyments (bin dll's and .config files) but also if there were large numbers of .aspx pages updated. For code deployments it's not an issue, but for aspx updates it is; in this particular scenario, we are making use of a 3rd party content management system (RedDot from OpenText) in which every page of the site is published out as a distinct .aspx page. This means that for this website there's somewhere in the region of 2,400 separate .aspx pages. I realise this isn't an ideal situation but we're working within the constraints of the CMS, and we managed to correlate the instances where the site was unresponsive with App pool restarts, which also corresponded to publications of of .aspx pages.
I found an article by Tess Ferandez [URL] which describes all the reasons why the app pool may restart, and it does seem that if more than 15 .aspx pages are changed then the app pool will recycle and the pages will be re-compiled. Another msdn article [URL] then gave me a few pointers on how to start addressing this problem, and for the moment I've set a flag on the compilation options to prevent batch compilation:
<compilation batch="false">
This means that the initial page load now takes around 6 seconds instead of 1 minute, which is a great improvement. However, I also used the "Compilations Total" performance counter to investigate the number of pages that have been compiled by ASP.NET for my site and was quite surprised that the total number of pages that get compiled peaks at 44, which is odd given that there are 2,400 aspx pages in the site. If the batch flag is set to false, the counter slowly increments by 1 page at a time as you click around on the site; if batch mode is true, the initial compilation takes the number straight to 44 over the course of ~60 seconds. What I'm really struggling to understand is why all 2,400 pages aren't compiled. Does anyone have any inside info on what might be going on as all the documentation I've read seems to indicate that all of the pages should be compiled and this counter should be much higher.

I have 2 sites, one the main product site the other a secure site featuring the basket and checkout processes.
When a user clicks "add item to basket" I am creating a basket in a database and then adding the items to the basket. The theory was then to store the id from the database for the basket (the basketid) in a cookie, redirect the user to secure site, use the basket id from the cookie and display the contents in the basket.
However I am having trouble getting the secure site to use the same cookie. When I redirect the users to the secure site, the basket appears empty. I need to go back to the main site and then back to secure before the cookie appears.
Here is the code for the cookie
[Code]....
And then on the secure site this is how it gets the basket ID from the cookie
[Code]....
But like I say it's having problems. I've tried replacing the cookies with session variables as well but it didn't work.

I have a table thats created dynamically, the table gets its contents from a custom class I've created that gets statistical data from a database. As the table is generated dynamically, I've put the contents class (the table data) into a session object and I populate the table initially inside a !IsPostback then on the page init I get the data from the session (its empty on the firts page load). I am now getting this error: Multiple controls with the same ID 'controlnamehere' were found. FindControl requires that controls have unique IDs. How can I avoid this?

I have an application where different users can log in via a single portal login. When they log
in, if they belong to more than 1 company they have to select the company they belong to. The theme will change if there is a custom theme for that company. Each page my application has inherits a "CustomPage" class. Here is the code for the custom page:
public class CustomPage : Page
{
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Globals.Company != null && Directory.Exists(Page.MapPath("~/App_Themes/" + Globals.Company.CompanyName)))
{
Page.Theme = Globals.Company.CompanyName;
}
else
{
Page.Theme = "Default";
}
}
}
When the customer belongs to more than 1 company, and they select the company they belong to, the theme loads just fine. So, the problem I am having is this: If they belong to just 1 company, the company is automatically selected but the theme does not load right away. However, if I refresh the page, the theme loads just fine. Even the default theme will not load. The page has no css at all until I refresh.
I even view source and look for my css names and they are not there. I refresh and do the same thing, and they are there. I am not using forms authentication and the default theme in the web config is "Default"
<pages theme="Default">

I have a hybrid ASP.Net web forms/MVC app. On one of the MVC "pages"/views, I have it render a bunch of dates using the ToShortDateString() and ToLongDateString(). These work correctly most of the time, but the first time I load the view after compiling the app, they are formatted incorrectly.
I traced this down and checked the current thread's culture. For 99% of the time it's en-US, but on the first load of the MVC view after compiling it is set to en-GB. If I reload the page immediately after that, it's back to en-US.
I have tried setting the culture and uiculture in the web.config file to en-US to force it to be correct, but no luck.

I have a simple web application that loads very slow the very first time after i deploy it. I am using ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 / VS 2008 / Linq / Web forms to load the default.aspx home page. It is a very light page with nothing too fancy.Now to debug this load issue, I logged all the events in the global file and got the following log text:
2010-04-10 11:58:38,083 - Application_Start
2010-04-10 11:58:38,111 - Application_BeginRequest
2010-04-10 11:58:38,117 - Application_AuthenticateRequest
2010-04-10 11:58:52,321 - Session_Start
2010-04-10 11:58:52,454 - Page_Load
2010-04-10 11:58:53,951 - End Page_load
2010-04-10 11:58:53,981 - Application_EndRequest
Now my question is, between the Application_AuthenticateRequest and Session_Start functions, there is generally around 10 - 15 seconds - which i believe seems to be the problem.The thing, I am unsure why this is slow between these two functions.I am not using any forms authentication.Also, I am not doing anything fancy in the global file besides setting a session variable.

For some reason my RadComboBox "EmptyMessage" is not showing on the initial load of the page but it does after I focus and blur out of the control. How can I force my "EmptyMessage" to show by default?
My .aspx is as follows:
<telerik:RadComboBox
ID="SomeFilter" runat="server"
EmptyMessage="Choose..."
OnClientSelectedIndexChanging="OnClientSelectedIndexChanging"

My combobox defaults to "Test1" by default instead of "Choose...". Once I open and close the combobox, however, the default changes to "Choose...".

I have searched and Googled for the answer to this question to no avail. I'm using EF4 and ASP.NET MVC2 and I have an EF4 entity "Award" with a non-nullable string field, "RecipientID". I'm using DataAnnotations for server-side validation, so in my "Award" partial class I've set up the RecipientID to have the Required attribute. When I try to submit the form with the RecipientID text box empty, I see my error message "Please enter a recipient" in the Html.ValidationSummary twice.
Would this be because the error is being thrown both by the entity (in that it is a non-nullable field with a null value), as well as the application? Whatever the reason, is there a way to "fix" this and have the error message show up only once? (Fix being in quotations because I'm not sure if this is intended behavior or not.) I didn't think it would be necessary to include relevant code, but I will if it's needed.

I have several divs on an asp page. All of my divs are runat="server". On the initial load of my page I set all the divs visible property to false because I dont want them to appear on the first show. Then, I have a drop down list raising postback events.
On the selected index changed event I am setting the visible property of my divs to true to make them appear on the page. However this does not work.
I discovered that, on the initial load non of my divs are added to the page's html content. So, on a postback event non existing divs can not be made to appear. If all the divs would set to visible = true on the initial load, postback event would work just expected.
Could any one tell me a way to hide divs on the initial load and make them appear on a postback event?
