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).
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.
what is the correct syntax to do that?
I have an EDM, it includes the entities extension and history. My goal is to use history to keep track of all the changes made to extension entity. For example, if extension with ID 223 has its property 'Name_Display' changed - I want the history entity to record this.
I'm using ASP.NET with VB.NET. Where in my code do I put the hook to say, "update the history entity" and what should that hook look like?
I am mapping a stored procedure to an entity by right clicking on the entity (in the .edmx) and selecting "Stored Procedure Mapping." This brings you to a Mapping Details - "Name of Entity" Window that allows you to select the insert, update, and delete stored procedures associated with the Entity. It also maps the stored procedure parameter to the Entity "Property" (Column).
I'm gettin an error "error 2042: Parameter Mapping specified is not valid." The cause of the error is fairly obvious, in the Insert stored procedure that has been selected, a 'CHAR' parameter is being mapped to an Int32 Entity Property. I altered the stored procedure parameter to match the entity, I deleted the stored procedure, readded, and reslected it as the Insert function. I also cleaned, validated, updated model from database. No matter what I do, the parameter list in the mapping details doesn't reflect the change to the stored procedure. It's stuck on a char --> int32 mapping, even though it has been changed, like it's buried deep in meta data some where.
I'm writing a custom .NET MembershipProvider (not the built in one) and trying to update using Entity Framework. But of course i have no access to (Try)UpdateModel. How can i update it?
View 3 RepliesI 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 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 form when I post back TryUpdateModel is True But it is not updating the database.
MVC 2
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 using EF4 with POCO entities and having problems to update an existing item. In a webbapp I have an ajax function fetching an entity object from the database through EF4. Then i make some changes to it and when I try to update the record in the database I call the Attach-method but it is not saved. I guess this has something do with that I am not in the same context anymore...so my question is how to make an update of a previously fetched record if the context which was used to fetch record is disposed?
View 3 RepliesI have been updating my Entity Framework by simply right clicking and clicking on "update model from database". I usually go under the "Add" tab and then click the tables and click finish. I also use "refresh" sometimes as well. What are the differences between these? and also when I do refresh or add sometimes the entity comes out wrong or keeps some of the old information in cache, how can I just get the entity to match my database and clean out any of the old cached things.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
I want to update database using entity framework by passing class object in one go with setting without setting object values again.
I have added data using following code
[code]....
here obj is class object which i have passed to the AddTotblTables() method
similary i want to update table in same manner by passing class object.
I have an entity generated from my database that contains one table. When i make changes in the DB i obviously would like these changes to reflected in my model.
My current approach is to delete the item from the designer and then right-click - update model from database. This works for me at the moment. Is there a different approach to refreshing these entity tables ?
How can I update an existing LINQ entity? This code gives me: "Cannot insert an entity that already exists."
Any better practises on updating/inserting with linq?
foreach (ListViewItem lvi in lvStudents.Items)
{
HiddenField hfStudentID = lvi.FindControl("hfID") as HiddenField;
CheckBox cbPresent = lvi.FindControl("mycb") as CheckBox;
int sInt = Int32.Parse(hfStudentID.Value);
dc = new DataClassesSODataContext();//I renewed the dc to make sure that wasn't the problem?
var currStudent = dc.students.Single(x => x.studentID == sInt);
grade g = dc.grades.Single(x => x.subjectID == subjID || x.studentID == sInt);
if (g == null)
{
g = new grade();
g.subject = dc.subjects.Single(x => x.subjectID == subjID);
g.student = currStudent;
g.present = cbPresent.Checked;
dc.grades.InsertOnSubmit(g);
} else
{
g.present = cbPresent.Checked;
dc.grades.Attach(g, true);//I tried both attaching and inserting
}
}
dc.SubmitChanges();
I have a few entities I'd like to update at the same time. However I'd like to write individual update methods in each classes partial class file, for each entity and call them all at the same time. For example:
public sub UpdateEntity1()
...
end sub
public sub UpdateEntity2()
...
end sub
public sub UpdateEntity3()
...
end sub
public sub UpdateAll()
UpdateEntity1()
UpdateEntity2()
UpdateEntity3()
end sub
My question is how do I manage the object context? do I create one object context in the class I'm calling UpdateAll(), then pass it as a parameter to each individual update method? Or do I create a new context for each Update? I'd like to use the same context because the object are related, and this would decrease the db calls to update all the records.
tried the following:
public void UpdatePlayer(int id)
{
Player player = new Player() {ID = id};
player.Password = "12";
Entities.Players.Attach(player);
Entities.SaveChanges();
}
No change at the db.
Since 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:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at System.Web.Mvc.JsonValueProviderFactory.GetValueProvider(ControllerContext controllerContext) at System.Web.Mvc.ValueProviderFactoryCollection.<>c_DisplayClassc.b_7(ValueProviderFactory

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?
Quite a common use case, it seems, is when re-populating an object from a form is to go
myobj.Name = "textbox value";
myobj.Content = "textbox content";
But, name may not have changed, it may only be a change to the content textbox.
The problem is that entity framework treats Name as changed just because I've set it's value, regardless of whether I've set exactly the same value or not.
Ideally, I would like EF to only mark things as changed if they genuinely have changed.
I'm pulling all the objects from an entity in my database
Dim dbConfig as New housingEntities
Dim update_query = (From p in dbConfig.Configs _
Select p)
Then, I want to individually access the rows and perform updates to them...For example, if I just needed the first row I could go like this:
update_query.First.timeValue = txtFRRSD.Text
dbConfig.SubmitChanges()
Now, I don't know how to code this, but here is pseudo what I'd like to do:
update_query.Item("FRRSD").timeValue = txtFRRSD.Text
update_query.Item("FRRCD").timeValue = txtFRRCD.Text
update_query.Item("SORSD").timeValue = txtSORSD.Text
update_query.Item("SORCD").timeValue = txtSORCD.Text
dbConfig.SubmitChanges()
Does anyone know a way to do this or something like this?
I recently encountered an annoying problem, and was wondering how to get around it:
I had three tables in my .edmx designer. Two of the tables, A and B, had a 1:many relationship (A:B). The third table, C, had no relationship defined, because I forgot. I added a new many:many relationship from B:C at the database level. I then right clicked and updated my Entity model, and attempted to compile, encountering a 3034 exception:
Problem in Mapping Fragments starting at lines 177, 192:

How do I use a stored procedure to change one or more (but not all) fields of a entity in EF4? I have a stored procedure "ChangePassword" taking a username and and a password as parameters and a User entity containing properties for Username and Password as well as other properties. I want to be able to use this stored procedure from a function to update the password from a function in one of my repositories. How to do this?
