MVC :: Pass Data Back To The Controller?
Jan 13, 2011
This may seem simple to a seasoned coder, but I'm all wet-eared and new to MVC, and trying to wrap my head around it is driving me nuts. I have completed the Nerd Dinner and MVC Music Store tutorials, and seem to be grasping the basics... Well, sort of... It just seems that every new idea I have requires hours of searching with Google.
As it stands at the moment, I have a static DateTime field that is populated by using DateTime.Now. What I need to implement is a master TextBox (JQueryUI DatePicker) at the top of the View that will enable the user to overwrite said DateTime.Now if required.
Here is a hypothetical situation:
Controller
[Code]....
Site.Master
[Code]....
View
[Code]....
I thought of using a variable to override the default date if the user selects a master date, but can't figure out how to implement it.
I can get it to work if I use a static string, like so:
[Code]....
Is there any way to pass the value of the master datepicker (txtDateTime) from the View back to the Controller? I've heard mention of TempData, but can't seem to find a similar scenario.
I'm sure I'm just missing something really obvious, so if anyone could explain it to me really s-l-o-w-l-y, that would be cool.
I'm praying that this isn't another of those situations where "MVC doesn't work that way" or "It needs more cowbell", 'cause then I'll pack it all in and go play WoW D:

I have a simple model where a Person has Gifts. I have a view which is a list of Gifts belonging to one Person.
My problem is with the Create action for a new Gift. I want it to default to the PersonID that we are already viewing the list of Gifts for. I tried simply passing the last PersonID (they are all the same)
Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create", new { id = Model.Last().PersonID }) which works fine if there is already at least one Gift for that person but if this is the first Gift I don't have a value.
My Gift List controller knows the PersonID I want to pass but the view doesn't.
How do I pass this PersonID from my Gift List controller to my Gift Create controller via the Gift List view? Or is there a better way to do this?

I have following situation - I am pasing user info object from Controller to View. It contains GUID UserID, which i dont want to be seen on page. So I removed every Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserID), Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.UserID) etc... from generated View source. And because of this when Html.BeginForm() returns that object back to Controller all values is there but UserID is lost??
If I leave Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserID), Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.UserID) etc.. in View everything is fine. But I dont want to show UserID? Where is the problem here?
<%= Html.LabelFor(model => model.C__User_Id) %>

Iam trying to pass data from my controller, and put it into the variable in JS script. I have done it before and it worked perfectly, thats why this one puzzles me even more.
Here is my code of the controller:
[Code]....
In chrome I also get an error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL". I am pretty sure it is the same I use for my other project and that one works just great so I really dont know what is wrong.

if I use a Html.Hidden field in my view, when the value click to submit the form I would like to pass this data to the controller. This variable would contain int as key and string as value,
Dictionary<int, string> interestTable = new Dictionary<int, string>();
How can I specify the htmlAttribute fo this variable in my Html.Hidden code?
<% using(Html.BeginForm("Search", "SearchMembers")) { %>
<input type="hidden" name="ResearchInterests" id="researchInterests" value=""/>
<%= Html.Hidden("fullInterestsPath") %>,

Being new to ASP.NET I have run into trouble building my own Whack-a-mole program. I think my problem comes from using Buttons, which by themselves send post backs to the server, making the software unusable. The looks are in place, making new buttons show up in the grid, in different places by random. However, when a button is pushed - the score doesn't change (which I feel is strange).
Not so strange is that the Button doesn't work since it sends post back to the server - reloading the UpdatePanel. I think I should use a different controller like the CheckBox and style it hard using CSS (which isn't a problem). Is this the correct way to go, or should I make use of JavaScript AJAX instead?
Note to self: This technique shouldn't be used in a public application since it put too much unwanted pressure on the web server.

I create a GridView bound to SqlDataSource and use BoundField to bound the field, then in 1 BoundField (let's call it TestField), i set it to Visible = false. Now i add a button to set the value of BoundField TestField. Update the row, the value won't pass back to the server. Then, I try to set Visible = true to BoundField TestField, using the same button and update, the value pass back to the server.This doesn't happen to FormView, even using visible = false. Is this a bug? or ? i am using Visual Studio 2008.

I need to pass the data from GridView1 to a DataTable, and then pass the DataTable to GridView2 and preview it. I have BoundFields and ImageFields in the GridViews. I think I am doing something wrong but I can't figure out how to do it. I know I have to iterate through the GridView.Rows, but I don't know how to pass it to the DataTable.

I have been at this for hours and am pretty stuck. I am using MVC2 with VS2010 Beta 2.
Here is my javascript from the view:
[Code]....
Here is my controller code:
[Code]....
I can set a breakpoint in the GetMember method and it does receive the Member_ID parameter correctly. It also correctly returns a member object from my repository (dpR). The function in $.getJSON call that is supposed to receive this result does nothing however. There are no exceptions or javascript errors. It is just silently dying.

I've been going at this for several hours and I simply cannot find the solution.
I want to get some data from my user. So first, I use a controller to create a view which receives a Model:
[code]...
The rest of this controller does not matter since no matter what I do, the count attribute of Request.Files (or Request.Files.Keys) remains 0. I simply can't find a way to pass the files from the form (the Model passes just fine).

may I ask one seemingly simple question - I have a Javascript function that loops through my checkboxes(they're plain HTML checkboxes, not using the helper methods), and for every checked one it's adding its value to an array. So now, how do I get this array in my controller so that I can assign its values to the fields, i.e. object's properties?
This is my checkbox code:
[Code]....
and the script:
[Code]....
and here's the controller code:
[Code]....
Now, this langID should be assigned every checked checkbox's value, so I guess I'm missing a loop here too, it should go until some border that's gotten from the client script or something, but my bigger problem is how to retrieve the posted values from the javascript, something like PHP's POST["array"]...?
This Request.Form works fine when just one checkbox is checked, but now I need it to work with several checked..

In my ASP MVC app I have an asp: DropDownList control that has a source of a Linq data class. The values in the list are getting set fine, but when I select one, and then click on an Html.ActionLink, and pass control back to my controller, I'm not sure how to fetch the value that was selected from the DropDownList.

Currently, I am working with ASP.NET MVC1 and am still learning about Model Binding and how values from a View are passed back to the Controller / Model. Specifically, I want take an existing Model, create a Table and populate the Rows of the Table, allow the user to edit some fields and pass it back. In my example, I have a Class called "Ingredient" which has 4 public accessories: Name, Barcode, Amount, and Unit.
[Code]....
Or is this not possible? (Basically, I'm trying to re-create a datagrid where certain fields are editable and certain are not...)
