MVC :: SelectList And Dropdown Value - Get A Null?
Nov 18, 2010
I cannot get my code to work with the usual workarounds. I have a model which exposes a SelectList and a value for the selected item in it. The list is built like: new SelectList(persons, "Id", "Name");
where persons is an array of type Person with a *string* property named Id and a string property named Name. My model has a SelectList property returning a list built as shown, and a SelectedPersonId *string* property which should be updated by the dropdown. Here's my view code:
Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.SelectedPersonId, Model.PersonList)
I can see the persons in the dropdown and select one item, but the model's SelectedPersonId property never gets updated (I get a null). Of the two workarounds I found googling around, one stated to build the SelectList in the model, using the constructor shown above; another recommended to ensure that the selected value is a string. I did both, but still it does not work.

<asp:FormView ID="FormView8" runat="server" DataKeyNames="LoadID,ProductID"
DataSourceID="Pro1SQL">
<EditItemTemplate>
LoadID:
<asp:Label ID="LoadIDLabel1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("LoadID") %>' />

For insertion, I have dropdown inside a form.
The dropdown is linked with sqldatasource which is retreiving distinct records from table.
In table there is no NULL value.
What I want to do that when user will access Insert page to insert record then like all textboxes, dropdown should also load with NULL value.

I have drop dowm menu as follow.
<asp:ListItem Value="">none</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="STO">Stock</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="ORD">Order</asp:ListItem>
If I chose none, it stores data as "Null" If I Query the data as below, I don't get the data has value of "Null" SELECT tabale From type Where type <> STO or type <> ORD I get data that has empty string but not Null.
1, How do I write dropdown menu value in oder to get empty string instead of Null?
I did <asp:ListItem Value="">none</asp:ListItem> but this stores Null.
2, Why this Query won't pick up Null?
SELECT mytabale FROM type WHERE type <> STO or type <> ORD

I followed MVC 2 source to create a CheckBoxList helper.
I was able to identify the problem I am having but not able to solve it.
On my view I have the following:
[Code]....
The problem is in the bold part ...
The newSelectList is equal to selectList but all items were deselected.
What am I missing?

I'm working on a MVC3 web application. I want a list of categories shown when editing a blo from whe applications managements system. In my viewmodel i've got the following property defined for a list of selectlistitems for categories.
/// <summary>
/// The List of categories
/// </summary>
[Display(Name = "Categorie")]
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Categories { get; set; }
The next step, my controller contains the following edit action where the list of selectlistitems is filled from the database.
public ActionResult Edit(Guid id)
{
var blogToEdit = _blogService.First(x => x.Id.Equals(id));
var listOfCategories = _categorieService.GetAll();
var selectList = listOfCategories.Select(x =>new SelectListItem{Text = x.Name, Value = x.Id.ToString(), Selected = x.Id.Equals(blogToEdit.Category.Id)}).ToList();
selectList.Insert(0, new SelectListItem{Text = Messages.SelectAnItem, Value = Messages.SelectAnItem});
var viewModel = new BlogModel
{
BlogId = blogToEdit.Id,
Active = blogToEdit.Actief,
Content = blogToEdit.Text,
Title = blogToEdit.Titel,
Categories = selectList //at this point i see the expected item being selected
//Categories = new IEnumerable<SelectListItem>(listOfCategories, "Id", "Naam", blogToEdit.CategorieId)
};
return View(viewModel);
}
When i set a breakpoint just before the view is being returned, i see that the selectlist is filled as i expected. So at this point everything seems to be okay. The viewmodel is filled entirely correct.
Then in my view (i'm using Razor) i've got the following two rules which are supposed to render the selectlist for me.
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Categories) @Html.DropDownListFor(model=>model.Categories, Model.Categories, Model.CategoryId)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Categories)
When I run the code and open the view to edit my blog, I can see all the correct data. Also the selectlist is rendered correctly, but the item i want to be selected lost it's selection. How can this be? Until the point the viewmodel is being returned with the view everything is okay. But when i view the webpage in the browser, the selectlist is there only with out the correct selection. What am I missing here? Or doing wrong?

I had been building my SelectLists in the View, but I found examples doing it in code that I liked better. Now I'm creating one of my SelectLists like this:
[Code]....
And all is good, but I'm not sure how to do two things. First, I'd like to add an initial SelectListItem that prompts the user to select a value. When instantiating the SelectList in a loop this is easy, but I was hoping to keep this approach. The second problem is setting the default selected item. In the constructor it shows the 4th parameter to be used for this purpose, but I'm not certain how to do it. There's a property of this object named "DefaultView". It's a boolean, and I'd like that to determine the selected state. Is this possible?

I have written an Enum extension method that allows me to create a view model and allows me to easily bind a generic Enum to a SelctList like:this.ProductStatusList = new ProductStatusTypes().BindToSelectList<ProductStatusTypes>
(product.Status.ToString());
In my View I can then have:
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
<fieldset> [code]...
Notice I am using EditorForModel and then a seperate DropDownList. My question is: Is there a way to get the EditorForModel to be clever enough to pick up that I want to use a SelectList instead of a TextBox for status?

I'm trying to display a dropdown on my view page that has a custom text value.
I'm trying to display a list a Contacts. A Contact contains a ContactID, FirstName, and LastName.
<%= Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.ContactId, new SelectList(Model.Contacts, "ContactID", "LastName"), "- Select a Contact -") %>
Right now I'm just displaying the last name, but I'd like to display the first name and last name in the dropdown.

I'm having problems retrieving the values of a selectlist in my form collection. I've tried making a viewmodel with an attribute with the same name as the select list.
I'm honestly just realizing I REALLY don't understand how model binding works with selectlists. I've just been assuming that the following conventions apply:
Name the select list the same thing as the attribute on the model you want it to bind to. Apart from that, I really don't get it. I've looked at several books on it and they're useless frankly. How does a select list work with a) form collection and b) a particular model?

What do I use to set the dataValueField of the Select List when I'm using a list of strings. I want to be able to set the value of the option in the select. If i have:
List<string> list = new List<string>();
list.Add("apple");
list.Add("orange");
and I want my html to be:
<select>
<option value="apple">apple</option>
<option value="orange">orange</option>
</select>

I can currently populate and display a Drop Down using the following model annotations, viewmodel, and custom Editor template - but am having problems persisting the submission (more on that below):
//Domain
Public class Person
{
public string FirstName {get;set;}
public string LastName {get;set;}
public string ClassName {get;set;}
public int ClassId {get;set;}
...
}
//ViewModel
Public class PersonViewModel
{
public Person Person {get;set;}
Like I mentioned, the above works fine - as in the drop down is displayed properly, but obviously in its current state it's not saving the classID (or name) to the Person entity, I understand the problem but not sure how to fix it.
My questions:
How can I save the selected value from the drop down to the Person entity
How can I save both the ID and the Name into the Person entity - I'm guessing only way is a hidden field that gets populated with an onchange event (this sounds weird, I'm sure, but it's being stored in a document DB, so it's not normalized - I may just store Name in the end)

I have my class RoomType:
Int32 Id
String Name
String ColorCode
My viewmodel gets a List<Roomtype> RoomTypes which should be displayed in a dropdown.
Each dropdown option item should have: 1) as title the Name, 2) as value the Id, and 3) the style background-color #ColorCode.
My problems are how to convert this list correctly into a List<SelectListItem> as required by ASP.NET MVC's DropDownFor helper, and then to have the correct values inserted for each option.
I've tried to have a new readonly property in my viewmodel, which has a getter RoomtypeSelectList which returns new SelectList(RoomTypeList) but I can't get the correct properties to show (Name, Id, Background color).

I have setup my business object to have a create_date and edit_date members both datetime datatypes. My company want to display the create_date and edit_date fields in a gridview for each transaction. The problem i have is that after insterting a record it will have a valid create_date but no edit_date and when displayed in the gridview it defaults to datetime.minvalue (My default). How on earth do i show an empty field in my gridview for a null datetime field in the database?
I am using similar architecture to the Imar Spaanjaars example of a tiered solution. With a few small tweeks it has worked well for me for ages. I am passing a List<Database> to my object datasource which connects to my gridview.

I have 2 table Table A, Table B.
Table A - Parent Table
ID - Uniqueidentifier not null(PK)
Table B -Child Table
ID - uniqueidentifier null(FK, TableA)
I have a stored procedure to insert data into Table B, but when I tried to insert a null value into column ID of table B, this error came up:
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_tableB_tableA". The conflict occurred in database "database name", table "table A", column 'ID'.
The statement has been terminated.
The insert statement in asp.net is like so:
sqlcommand.parameter.add(New Sqlparameter("ID", Nothing))
I am guessing adding nothing to the null value column is the problem, but i don't know how to fix it... The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_tableB_tableA". The conflict occurred in database "database name", table "table A", column 'ID'.

I have a problem with a SessionVariable. I will explain what is happening:
1. From the default.aspx I send Session["LoginByAdmin"] = "Dummy"; and then redirect to this page where I have the code below. So the Page_Load sees that this Session["LoginByAdmin"] != null and enter this page. This works fine !
2. In the Page_Load, I later fill a ListBox1 with foldernames.
3. With Button1_Click1, I will now delete the choosen Folder in the ListBox1 wich works fine the first time and the ListBox updates the new existing folders in the ListBox. (I have wrapped this inside an updatepanel)
The problems comes now when I try to delete a choosen folder in the ListBox1 the second time in a row. When I select a Folder in the ListBox1 and now Press Button1, I will be redirected to "Default.aspx". This meens that this code is running: (That meens that Session["LoginByAdmin"] == null and I have not set this to null anywhere. This is my big question how this variable can be = null here?
if (Session["LoginByAdmin"] == null)
Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
break;
