MVC :: Many-To-Many Automatic Field Binding?

Jun 4, 2010

The short version of this question is "is there a way to gracefully accommodate automatic field binding & database insertion for an object that has a many-to-many field that has been set up in a partial class?" Apologies if it's been asked before.

Example Suppose I have a typical MVC setup with the tables:

Posts {PostID, ...}
Categories {CategoryID, ...}
PostCategories {PostID, CategoryID, ...}

As far as I know, there's no way to do many-to-many relationships in Linq-to-SQL right now so I have to shoehorn it in by adding a partial Post class to the project to add that functionality. Something like:

public partial class Post{ public IEnumerable<Category> Categories{ get { ... } set { ... } }}

So I can now create a "Create" view that automatically populates a "Categories" UI item. It even handles like any other field- fun!

So here's my problem:

How does all of this get exposed to views like "Create" and "Index" and still get to use automatic object model binding? The goal is to a) have the view and automatic model binder treat this as if it were native functionality of the object and b) have the Post object gracefully handle creating PostCategory table entries on submission into the database.

Forms Data Controls :: Field Binding Not Available?

Nov 11, 2010

I have a DetailsViews that I have added a dropdownlist. When I am in the EditBindings area of the EditItemTemplate, click on SelectedValue the "Field Binding" radio button under "Binding for SelectedValue" is grayed out and not available. I have a tutorial that is very clear on how to add a dropdownlist to a GridView or DetailsView and I feel everything is setup correctly. The dropdown box is working with the available choices but is obviously not binding the selected data.

Forms Data Controls :: Escape Apostrophe When Binding To Hidden Field In Gridview?

Apr 15, 2010

I've got a gridview with a hidden field, i'm trying to set a value as follows:

value='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name")%>'

which works in most cases except when the name has an apostrophe like O'Neil. I need to escape the ' if possible.

so i tried: value='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name").ToString().Replace("'", " /' ")%>' and

value='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name").ToString().Replace("'", " //' ")%>'

which doesn't work because of the final apostrophe in the notation i.e. %>' It truncates after the word e.g O'Neil Someone becomes O' which is incorrect.

This works like a charm: value='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name").ToString().Replace("'", "'")%>' which isn't good practice as I don't want to hardcode '

Binding GridView To Array Of Strings - Error / A Field Or Property With The Name '!' Was Not Found On The Selected Data Source

Aug 19, 2010

I know that you can use exclamation sign to bind array of simple types (like string) to GridView like this

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Array Field" DataField="!" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

But this doesn't seem to be the case with DataNavigateUrlFields

<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="!" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="RoleInformation.aspx?role={0}" Text="Manage users" />

and I get following error:A field or property with the name '!' was not found on the selected data source.

Forms Data Controls :: Binding To A Field In Another Data Source?

Apr 9, 2010

I have a DetailsView with some templates. I would like to bind a textbox in one of the templates to a field of a datasource which is not the datesource of the DetailsView. What is the syntax of the Bind() or Eval() code expression to do this, assuming it's possible?

Also where can I find some material on syntax of these "code expressions" and what can be in them?

I realize I'm missing something pretty basic here...

Web Forms :: Binding Password To Password Field?

Oct 18, 2010

I have a form that is used to add and edit data. Based on a dropdown selection, the form is either prepopulated or left blank so you can add new data.

I have a password field that is set to TextMode="Password" and works fine when adding new data, it displays ***** as you type..

Now if you select from the dropdown and there is already a record on file, it populates the form to allow you to edit the information.. Now i DONT want to display the password in plain text, but i want to populate the field so if they make any changes all field data is kept and table is updated with all of it.

I already debugged the page and my variable is being set with the password, but the textbox doesnt even show the ***** for the password value.

C# - Proper Way To Handle Several Automatic Redirects?

Dec 14, 2010

I have a website that basically allows customers to build a cart with an item that can be configured. A user will pick an item, and they'll be prompted to pick the first option they want, they get sent to the second step where they pick their second option, etc. The number of steps and the number of options are variable, as they are defined by the client. Usually the item only has 2-3 steps with 5-10 options. However, in order to make it faster for the customer, if there is only one option available for the given step, it will automatically be chosen and the user will be sent to the next step.

A client decided to set up an item with 10+ steps with only one option for each step. This results in the entire process automatically choosing everything. FireFox doesn't like this, as it gives the error Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. I haven't checked IE or Chrome, although it probably gives similar errors).

What's the best way to fix this? Right now the process is basically User picks item user picks option if there is more than one option available. Otherwise the website does step 3 itself. POST to add the option to the cart Redirect to Page.aspx?step=# repeat step 2-4 as many times as necessary

Is there any change I can make to the code or page so that FireFox doesn't think I'm in an endless loop?

C# - How To Perform Automatic Code Execution

Mar 8, 2011

My task is to create an ASP.NET application with a piece of code which will automatically run every half an hour. This code must append a record to the file every half an hour. It should not depend on users requests(whether they happen or not).

1) I'm writing my code in Application.Start method of Global.asax file. Am I right?

2) Do I have anything to do with the hosting (IIS) settings (e.g. change permissions to write the file, etc)?

I have already tried just putting the code to write to file into a loop in Application.Start method and then just copied the project directory to the server. However, it didn't work.

Automatic Initialization Of IIS-hosted WCF Service?

Dec 28, 2010

I have an ASP.NET web-site and a WCF service which is called from ASP. The problem is, that during the first client request the site loads aufully slow, cause some time-consuming static objects are being created inside the WCF service. Is it possible to call any service method (by doing this the wcf object will be created), when the site gets loaded in IIS? (I know there is a solution for this problem in ASP 4 and IIS 7.5, but i'd like to know what's about IIS6-7). It is something like "user emulation") Maybe i can add some event handlers in global.asax?
