View 5 RepliesIs it possible to render partial view as a model form in asp.net MVC?
View 5 RepliesI am totally a new bee in asp.net mvc. Let me now explain my issue. I have a strongly typed view which inherits from a view model Document. I want to have a partial view in that view itself. My code for this purpose is :
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<HexsolveMVC.Models.Document>" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
DetailsDocumentTemplate
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<div>
<div>
<div>
2.4</div>
<div>
Published</div>
<h1>
Document Title: <span>
<%=Model.DocTitle %></span><span><a href="#">[ Edit ]</a></span></h1>
<ul>
<li>
<label>
<span>*</span>Created Date:</label>
<span>
<%= Model.DocCreatedDate%></span></li>
<li>
<label>
Status:</label>
<span>.................................
I'll give a very simple example:
at the moment I have to write like this:
<% Html.RenderPartial("hello", new HelloInput { Name = "Jimmy" } ); %>
I would like to be able to like this:
<%=Html.Hello("Jimmy") %>
So I would like to know how create this helper:
public static string Hello(this HtmlHelper helper, string name)
{
return the result of rendering partial view "hello" with HelloInput{ Name = name };
}
i need to do something like this :
i have a partial view and i can go to it like this :
/home/GetMovies?partial=true
this return a STRING with a movie inside
some times i want to return this string inside other view
(lets say i want to put the string movie thing inside full html view and not just the movie string )
so im doing it like this:
/home/GetMovies?partial=false
how the seriver side should look like ?
I'm trying to figure out if there's a good way to remove the duplication in this scenario. Here's the model ... a Person that contains two Addresses:
[Code]....
And here's the view:
[Code]....
The entire Address block is duplicated ... one for the Home address, one for the Work address. To remove duplication, I tried factoring out the Address block into a partial view, and doing this in place of the two divs above:
[Code]....
And the page renders fine, but when it gets posted back on form submit, the model binding doesn't work. (Of course it doesn't work ... the <input> tags for the address blocks both have name="Street", so there's no way for the model binder to know whether to shove that into HomeAddress or WorkAddress.)
I read this post:
[URL] but that answer seems most unsatisfactory. Is there a better solution?
I am trying to implement something like Ruby on Rail's ActionDispatch::Flash to pass messages to the next page request. The approach that I want to take is to store a pair of (partial view name, model object) in the session context and render it in the master page when rendering the request to display the flash message.
Inside my HttpApplication subclass I now have:
[Code]....
to render the partial view that was specified by name when Global#Flash was called.
I want to use a view for the flash message instead of saving the message as a string in the session context because I want to include the URL in the message:
<%-- BookmarkAddedFlash.ascx --%>
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<MyApp.Web.Models.Bookmark_AddModel>" %>
<%: Html.DisplayTextFor(m => m.Url) %> was successfully bookmarked.
And I only want to render the view when the subsequent request is made; i.e. one request sets the flash message and the subsequent request renders it.
've created a Search partial view and it works, except for my view model. What i mean is, the partial view sends a string to my ActionResult Method, but only a string, that is not related to the view model that the partial view is built in. If i tell my ActionResult method to receive the view model in which the partial view is built in, it always tells me that i have null values. Here's my code This is my partial view:
[Code]....
Now here is my Model in my MoviesSearch view model:

Now the actual MoviesSearchViewModel

Inside my Search controller i have this

And then i have this:
making my first steps with asp.net mvc and I actually create a (very) small website.I have 1 controller : TasksController1 view : Tasks/Index.aspx1 Partial View : Tasks/AvailableSorting.ascx In my controller I have 2 methods :
[Code]....
In my Tasks/Index.aspx, I add my partial view (<% Html.RenderPartial("AvaliableSorting"); %>)
That sounds simple. But, It just doesn't work : the Index return a list of Task and the parial view (should) return a list of string.The index.aspx works perfectly, but the partial view doesn't get the right model ! he gets the model of the Index page (list of Task).
I would like to add a partial view to my view page
The view page contain a mode name "<IEnumerable<JvTake1.Models.VortN>>
And the partial view contain a model name "<IEnumerable<JvTake1.Models.VideoL>>"
So, theoretically I think they were suppose to work together but no Can any one guide me how to make it happen?
I have a single model type to wrap up various models I want to use in my view:
View 5 RepliesI have a view that is not strongly typed. However I have in this view a partial view that is strongly typed.How do I do I pass the model to this strongly typed view?I tried something like
public ActionResult Test()
{
MyData = new Data();
MyData.One = 1;
return View("Test",MyData)
}
In my TestView
<% Html.RenderPartial("PartialView",Model); %>
This give me a stackoverflow exception. So I am not sure how to pass it on. Of course I don't want to make the test view strongly typed if possible as what happens if I had like 10 strongly typed partial views in that view I would need like some sort of wrapper.
I want to know that how to render partial view based on where the user navigates. I mean to say if user navigates to Home/index it will load different partial view and if user navigates to Home/contact it will load different partial view on the _layout page.
View 1 RepliesI have a partial view called experience that is basic html markup.
I have a page that contains rows of records (experience records) and one of the columns in these rows is an "edit" link column. When I click that link I want to pass the id of that row to a method that will package up the details of that row (linq query to the experience table using the passed in id).
(this is the important part) ...... I want the partial view (experience.ascx) along with its new Model containing the experience details to load in a modal dialog box rather than another page.
have been unable to find any explanation of this anywhere.I have an .ascx partial view that's pulling data from a given model.I want to populate a drop-down list in my partial view using data from a table
outside the model (it is in the same database and entity framework).I don't know the syntax (I'm pretty much just learning MVC2 and jquery), and don't even know where to start. I've gotten about as far as <% foreach step in [???] %>, but don't know what to do with it. What do I put in the "[???]"???
i have a page which is bound to a viewmodel and i also have a partial view on this page which requires a parameter from the viewmodel.how can i pass this parameter to the partial view?
View 3 RepliesI have a partial view (an ascx page (see below)) that is used on every page on my site. Its basically a form, when the user hits submit I need it to call a procedure in one of my controllers and then return the page the user was on.

I need to render a particular partial view multiple times inside a view whenever user perofrm an action like button click event.How we do it in mvc?

This project I'm working on have this custom clientside JavaScript validation framework created for (which I cannot change) that show error messages/summary based on your data annotations and a "Validate" method in your ViewModel.
Like I said I'm not allowed to change this, so wont be able to go with suggestions doing that.
What the person that created this did not foresee, is that one might need put several partials of the same type and having the same view model (each in a form) on a view.
So I went ahead and did things the normal way (using Html.whateverFor<model => model.whatever) and wala!....the custom validation thing throws error messages for the specific form fields, next to each form in the view. I was suggested to create a "prefix" for each instance of the view model, and do something like this:
Change: <%: Html.HiddenFor(model => model.AccountNumber)%>
To: <%: Html.Hidden(Model.ElementPrefix + "AccountNumber", Model.AccountNumber)%>
Not to mention the tons of jquery selectors and all that I have to go change (and all my view inputs)
(I just hate having to find workarounds for this "custom" everything they created for this project)
I have been reading about different model for development
model view control mvc
model view presenter MVP
Model view view model MVVM
i belive MVC has two big Advantage over webform 1) TDD 2) More control on HTML
MVP is bit variation in mvc model. rapid development as well as 1) TDD 2) More control on HTML (correct me if i m wrong) see the below link

I was calling render partial like this in MVC 1.0:
<% Html.RenderPartial("~/views/shared/categories.ascx", ViewData.Model.Categories); %>
Now after dropping MVC 2.0 .dll's, I am getting the error:
CS1061: 'object' does not contain a definition for 'Categories' and no extension method 'Categories' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Do I have to update my solution or anything going from mvc 1 to 2?
to update a part of form before the request completes?for example, I have placed following code in button1_click
lbl1.text = "1"
system.threading.thread.sleep(2000)
lbl1.text = "2"[code]...
so what i want is, lbl1's value should be changed to 1 then to 2 after 2 second and then to 3 after another 2 seconds, rather than waiting for whole procedue completion.i had also tried to write this value to session and try to update these values from timer controlled updatepanel but it turned out that session are sent/set only when whole request is complete.
