MVC :: TryUpdateModel Is True But No Save?
Feb 25, 2011I have a form when I post back TryUpdateModel is True But it is not updating the database.
MVC 2
I have a form when I post back TryUpdateModel is True But it is not updating the database.
MVC 2
I have a strongly typed Edit view that expects a viewmodel class. On its post action, I want it to use TryUpdateModel to update the database with the new info. When debugging, TryUpdateModel returns true, but when I look in the database, nothing happened.
This is the controller Action
[Code]....
why this doesn't persist the changes back to the database?
I have a view that displays a list of entities; I need to provide user a way to bulk-edit some properties of these entities. To do that I generate a form like the following:[Code]....
Next, I use javascript to submit user-entered values:[Code]....
Submitted data is processed by the following action:
[Code]....
Quantity and Price properties of the entities in the collection are updated as desired. However, all other properties are reset to null. AFAI, specifying the properties in "excludeProperties" list should
prevent them from being changed by TryUpdateModel, right? What am I missing here?
I have following problem: in the Controller I call TryUpdateModel to send the changes made in the form back to the database. Then I save the entity, but no changes to database are made.
Here is the code from Controller:
[Code]....
Then the changes made to database. (ChangingSet have then also pending changes).
I am following though the examples in Professional ASP.Net MVC 2 and one of the examples doesn't work for me.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit (int id, FormCollection collection)
{
Dinner dinner = dinnerRepository.GetDinner(id);
if (TryUpdateModel(dinner))
{
dinnerRepository.Save();
return RedirectToAction("Details", new { id = dinner.DinnerID });
}
return View(new DinnerFormViewModel(dinner));
}
I understand that it's suppose to take the values from the FormCollection, and then update the dinner object with it, bit I don't see the collection get referenced anywhere.
I am trying to bind the dynamic object using TryUpdateModel(); but it works for first class member but it is not updating the properties of object which are referenced to model.
View 4 RepliesThe latest MVCSaffolding package uses "if (ModelState.IsValid)" prior to saving changes. In the past I have seen TryUpdateModel... used.
Is there a best practice?
i have an entity called User with 2 properties called UserName and Role (which is a reference to another entity called Role). I'm trying to update the UserName and RoleID from a form which is posted back. Within my postback action i have the following code:
var user = new User();
TryUpdateModel(user, "User", new string[] { "UserName, Role.RoleID" });
TryUpdateModel(user, new string[] { "User.UserName, User.Role.RoleID" });
However none of these updates the Role.RoleID property. If i try the following:
TryUpdateModel(user, "User", new string[] { "UserName, Role" });
TryUpdateModel(user);
The RoleID is updated but the RoleName property is validated aswell. That's why i'm trying to be more specific on which properties to update but i can't get any of the first examples to work.
It took me a little while to figure this out, but the AllowPaging="true" on the FormView seems to be the culprit. I don't have much experience paging from a FormView, but for this requirement the customers wants this kind of UI.I have a FormView with DefaultMode="Edit", which is bound to an EntityDataSource. One of the entity's properties, "ExternalID", determines whether some of the other properties in the entity are read-only. For example, if IsExternal==null, the FirstName, LastName, and Email fields should be rendered as TextBoxes. If IsExternal!=null, the 3 properties should be rendered in Label controls.
View 2 RepliesSince I upgraded from MVC 2 to MVC 3 RC, using TryUpdateModel causes a NullReferenceException. This problem only occurs when running my action method as part of a unit test. Running it on the actual server works as expected. Here's a stack trace of the exception:

My guess is that this has to do with the new way DI works in MVC3, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps there is something in terms of DI setup that is required in MVC 3, but wasn't required in MVC 2?
when trying to update the db from the edit page, i would likt to take one field from the formcollection change things in it and update the model with the changed field.

View 1 RepliesMy page (which basically contains a pair of Repeaters) renders and is displayed to the user.I'd like to have a "Download" button on the page which, when clicked, will propmt the user to save the page locally as an html file without losing any of the CSS formatting.
My CSS files are linked to via a Master Page.Currently, I have the button linked to some javascript that open will the Save As dialog, but all of the CSS formatting is lost, and it saves the page .I'm assuming that the button will need to open a new page which will re-create the data for the Repeaters and then save using StreamWriter, but I'm not exactly sure if that's right or how best to do it.

My Asp.Net calls a SQL sproc and returns a XML file as a string. This is what I need to do:
- save that string into memory (as a file);
- pop up a dialog box asking the user which path he would like to save the file;
Any samples out there...how do I achieve this task in Asp.Net C#?
I am using the following code to write the contents of a string (converted to a byte array) to the client in ASP.NET/C#
byte[] data = StrToByteArray(strData);
Response.ClearContent();
Response.AppendHeader("content-length", data.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
Response.AppendHeader("content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + fileName);
Response.BinaryWrite(data);
Response.Flush();
fileName is the name of the file ending with the file extension (.pgn). However, the file is saved as a .txt file, ignoring the extension that I am giving it. Would this have to do with the Response.Contenttype = "text/plain"? How can I get the Open/Save dialog to display and save the correct (.pgn) filename?
Also, if filename is a string separated by dashes or spaces, when the Open/Save dialog comes up, the filename is not displayed in its entirety but it is truncated where the first dash (-) or space (or comma) is encountered. How can this be remedied?
