MVC :: Is There A Way To Handle Dynamic Forms Using ViewModel

Sep 15, 2010

I need to create a dynamic form using the already existing DB entries, from 3 different tables. I am trying to do this by inheriting ViewModel class, which is comprised of all the model instances (or List of instances of unknown count) within it.

When I inherit the ViewModel in the View Template, the dynamic form gets generated without any issues, and looks fine. The dynamic form is generated based on iterating over the calls for each required model instance in the ViewModel passed to the View.Each call uses a partial view of the instance to generate the form, and hence multiple iterations create multiple instances of the form.

[Code]....

However, when I try to submit the form, the postback does not include the ViewModel object, but rather only the first model instance used in the form.

MVC :: How To Handle Dynamic HTML Controls In The Controller

Feb 28, 2011

I am working on a project in ASP.Net MVC3 and this model of development is quite new to me, but I think I am starting to get the hang of it.

In my project, I am creating a dynamic array of <input type="check"... Checkboxes. From my understanding, when sending form data it should be processed in the Controller using <form method="post"....

So my question is: what is the best way to go about consuming a dynamic amount of HTML objects sent in the post data? What I am doing right now is looping through all the controls sent VIA: post and parsing the dynamic ones by the ID name. This method seems highly suspect in terms of coding practice. It does work, but I am wondering what the "norm" is for this sort of proceedure?

How To Handle Concurrency Control In Dynamic Data

Jun 1, 2010

I've been quite impressed with dynamic data and how easy and quick it is to get a simple site up and running. I'm planning on using it for a simple internal HR admin site for registering people's skills/degrees/etc.

I've been watching the intro videos at www.asp.net/dynamicdata and one thing they never mention is how to handle concurrency control.

It seems that DD does not handle it right out of the box (unless there is some setting I haven't seen) as I manually generated a change conflict exception and the app failed without any user friendly message.

Anybody know if DD handles it out of the box? Or do you have to somehow build it into the site?

Does 1 ViewModel Really Have 1 View

Feb 16, 2010

its said that 1 ViewModel has 1 View. 1 View is for me a UserControl. What if my UserControl has different areas filled with data from different entities, do I have then several Views and need to build several ViewModels? e.g: I display in a UserControl 3 entities: customer(listbox),order(datagrid),product(datagrid). Each of those "data areas" has add+remove buttons and textboxes to enter data.

Actually each of those "data areas" are put in its own GRID having so the posibility to set a individual datacontext.

1.) Should I now create 3 ViewModels CustomerVM,OrderVM and ProductVM?
2.) Are those 3 "data areas" seen as an own sort of separated View, although I have not put them in 3 UserControls.xaml files ???
3.) When this one UserControl is inside a TabControl`s tabpage where do I load the 3 entities related data? Inside the MainViewModel? I want to show/load that data only when the user clicks the tabheader.

Update A ViewModel In MVC2?

Mar 2, 2010

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(int id, FormCollection fc)
{
Movie movie =
(
from m in _ctx.Movie.Include("MovieActors")
where m.MovieID == id select m
).First();
MovieActorViewModel movieActor = new MovieActorViewModel(movie);
if (TryUpdateModel(movieActor))
{
_ctx.ApplyPropertyChanges(movieActor.Movie.EntityKey.EntitySetName,
movieActor.Movie);
_ctx.SaveChanges();
}
return View(movieActor);
}

However, I am not sure how to test this, and in general would much rather have the method take a typed model like:[HttpPost] public ActionResult Edit(MovieActorViewModel movieActor) Is this possible? What changes to my MovieActorViewModel class do I need to make in order to enable this? That class looks like this:

public class MovieActorViewModel
{
public Movie Movie { get; set; }
public Actor Actor { get; set; }
public PublisherDealViewModel(Movie movie)
{
this.Movie = movie;
this.Actor =
(
from a in this.Movie.Actors
where a.ActorID == 1 select a
).First();
}
}

The view is typed (inherits ViewPage) simple:

<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
Movie Title: <%= Html.TextBoxFor(model=>model.Movie.Title) %><br/>
Actor Name: <%= Html.TextBoxFor(model=>model.Actor.Name) %>
<% } %>

Mvc IDataErrorInfo Validation When Using ViewModel?

I have used IDataErrorInfo Validation for my Model.

But when I use these model classes inside a view model, the validation does not happen.

Now, if Category or Subcategory classes are directly used as models for view, the validation works fine. But, if CategoryViewModel is used, no validation occurs.

MVC :: Bind Radiobuttons With Viewmodel?

Jan 27, 2011

I have a table called "question" which consists of various columns, including 3 columns of type: bit.

these columns are: yes, no, maybe.

The corresponding viewmodel has 3 properties of type boolean. The controller returns the views, which are based on the viewmodels.

By default MVC create checkboxes for boolean types, the thing is that the properties have to be related, only 1 should be checked at a time. That is why I want to change the checkboxes to radiobuttons.

After some search on the web I tried various things, in the end I got the create working by putting three radiobuttons, tied to the same boolean field, adjusing the values.

But how to edit a question? The view is filled with data from the database, putting 1 of the 3 booleans to true.

What should my view be like, to display 3 radiobuttons, mapped to the 3 boolean types?

techniques used:
MVC 3 RC 2 with razor
Entity Framework 4 (CTP 5)

C# - ViewModel Validation For A List?

Feb 28, 2011

I have the following viewmodel definition

public class AccessRequestViewModel
{
public Request Request { get; private set; }
public SelectList Buildings { get; private set; }
public List<Person> Persons { get; private set; }
}

So in my application there must be at least 1 person for an access request. What approach might you use to validate? I don't want this validation to happen in my controller which would be simple to do. Is the only choice a custom validation attribute?

Edit: Currently performing this validation with FluentValidation (nice library!)

RuleFor(vm => vm.Persons)
.Must((vm, person) => person.Count > 0)
.WithMessage("At least one person is required");

Map Model Classes To ViewModel Classes Or Aggregate Model Classes In ViewModel Classes

Dec 15, 2010

I'm curious as to what people consider better practice, between duplicating model structure in the view model and using a mapping tool to move data between the two, or aggregate the model inside the view model, i.e. have a property on the view model class that is a reference to the actual model. Which is considered a better approach in general?

C# - MVC2 - ViewModel For A Polymorphic Class

Jan 7, 2011

I'm making an MVC2 app to manage billing schemes. These billing schemes can be of various types, e.g. daily, weekly, monthly, etc. and all types have their specific properties. My class structure looks like this:

public abstract class BillingScheme { /* basic billing scheme properties */ }
public class BillingSchemeMonthly : BillingScheme
{
public string SpecificMonths;
}
//etc. for other scheme types

I retrieve a billing scheme through the base class using the billing scheme ID, and it gives me an object of the correct type. The property SpecificMonths maps to a database varchar field that contains a ;-separated string of month numbers. I want to split this to an array so I can create a list of checkboxes and I'd preferably do this with a facade property in a viewmodel. I could do it right inside the view but that seems to go against the MVC pattern.

The problem is I can only create this viewmodel specifically for a BillingSchemeMonthly, and I can't cast a BillingSchemeMonthly to a BillingSchemeMonthlyViewModel. I'd rather not implement a clone method in the viewmodel since the entire billing scheme is quite large and the number of properties may grow.

MVC :: Updating ViewModel Values On HttpPost?

Sep 3, 2010

I am just getting started with MVC after many years of WebForms development.

I have a very simple page with two textbox fields, one called Input where a user will enter something, and one called Output where I want to return some string after they post the form, much like a postback scenario in WebForms. I have the View connected to a ViewModel for strong typing.

The ViewModel:

[Code]....

The View:

[Code]....

The Controller:

[Code]....

The problem I have is that the output text "Here is some response" never gets displayed, even though I modify the value in the HttpPost method and return the viewmodel to the view. Unless (just tried it) I set the textarea to disabled with:

[Code]....

Can someone explain this behavior? It seems as some "magic" assumes that whatever was in the input fields before the HttpPost should also be there after the post, similar to what ViewState does in WebForms.
