MVC :: UpdateModel Calls A Property Get On The Model?
May 4, 2010
as the behaviour of the UpdateModel<T> changed in MVC 2 (RTM)? Since then I have the following problem when UpdateModel is called:UpdateModel<T1>(record, properties);record is typeof(Jumbo.Juist.Models.Bezorging) and properties is a string[] containing "Winkelnummer" and "OudRoutenummer".This now fails, because a get-property is being accessed: BerekendeAankomstTijd. In the past, it didn't fail. IMHO, this validation should be skipped, because it's only a getter (and thus/also not included in the string[] of properties to update)
The following action in my controller does not update the Model property which is bound by a radio buttons group (all are named "ListType") when the form is submitted. On the Edit.ASPX form, I used JQuery to reset the radio buttons group. When setting other type of input elements on the form to blank or checked=false, those Model properties are set accordingly upon submission. Does anyone know how to set radio buttons to unched state?
Also I am trying to get the SqlException to show up in my form where I have Html.ValidationSummary helper. My ModelState helper captures the know business rules violations, but I am unable to pass any SqlException and its Message property to this helper class due to unexected exception.
Is there a way to retrieve the client side ID for a model property similar to how the helpers like LabelFor etc generate the ID? For example, I have a model with a DateOfBirth property. I want to hook up that field to a jQuery DatePicker. Normally, I would hook up the date picker like this:
[Code]....
This works fine but hard codes the DateOfBirth property name. Ideally, I would like to use this:
[Code]....
Is this already available out of the box somewhere? I just created an extension method on the HtmlHelper class that does exactly this, but I wondered if there was already something built-in so I don't have to reinvent and test the wheel.
So, if we have in route defined parameter with same name as property at model and then we call it from strongly typed HTML helper (for example Html.TexBoxFor(x => x.PropertyName)), we get value from route parameter instead of property of model.
For example.
We have defined follow route:
[Code]....
Very simple model:
[Code]....
Next action in controller:
[Code]....
And very simple view:
[Code]....
Result you can see at follow picture:
I think what this dirty example described the essence of the problem. Let me know if I'm wrong.
I have a viewmodel with a property of a model class type. I set some properties in the model class to be able to show it to the user but then when I make a post, the model gets validated. How to overcome this? I don't want to enforce the DataAnnotations contraint in this case....
public class TheViewModel { TheModel TheModel { get; set;} } [code]...
The page in which this Page_Load resides is called by a parent page. Each time this Page_Load gets called the value of "file" in the query string will be different. So each time I will be receiving the XML contents from a different file which are inserted into the XmlDataSource and then bound against by the Repeater. Getting the XML data from the file works great but when I bind against the repeater that only works the first time through Page_Load. Each time after that when this code is executed the same results from the first XML file are displayed in the repeater.
What am I missing here. How can I get the XML data to be bound against the repeater on each page load instead of just the first one?
I have a webservice (ASP.NET) deployed on a webfarm. A client application consumes it on daily basis. The problem is that some of its calls are duplicated (with difference of milliseconds). For example I have a function Foo(string a,string b). The client app calls this webmethod as Foo('test1','test2') once but my log shows that it is being called twice or sometimes 3 or 4 times randomly. Is this anything wrong with the webfarm or the code? Note that the webmethod has simple straighfarward insert and update statements.
I would like to exclude one of model's property from the Html.EditorFor. I tried [HiddenInput(DisplayValue=false)] but it renders the property as an hidden input. This could potentially be a security problem. How can we completely exclude a field from Html.EditorFor?
The model passed has a property called "Transport" of type String. In the action, if I set the property as 'Train', then the view should set the radio-button 'Train' checked. ie.
Action: model.Transport = "Train";
How do I do that in the view to make the radio-button Train checked?
public class BandProfileModel { public BandModel Band { get; set; } public IEnumerable<Relationship> Requests { get; set; } } and the following form: <% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %> <%: Html.EditorFor(m => m.Band) %> <input type="submit" value="Save Band" /> <% } %> which posts to the following action: public ActionResult EditPost(BandProfileModel m, string band) { // stuff is done here, but m is null? return View(m); }
Basically, I only have one property on my model that is used in the form. The other property in BandProfleModel is just used in the UI for other data. I'm trying to update just the Band property, but for each post, the argument "m" is always null (specifically, the .Band property is null). It's posting just fine to the action, so it isn't a problem with my route. Just the data is null.
The ID and name attributes of the fields are BAND_whatever and Band.whatever (whatever being a property of Band), so it seems like it would work. What am I doing wrong? How can I use just one property as part of a form, post back, and have values populated via the model binder for my BandProfileModel property in the action?
I think I might have stumbled onto a bug in ASP.NET MVC 3 RC. When I setup my MVC2 project in a new MVC3 project, copy paste classes, code, change name spaces, etc, etc, I ran into an issue in the following, simplified for explanation purpose, scenario:
Model:
public class WineDetails { [SkipRequestValidation] [Required(ErrorMessage = "Beschrijving verplicht")] public string Description { get; set; } }
ViewModel:
public class ViewModelCreateWine { public MasterData MasterData { get; set; } public WineDetails WineDetails { get; set; } }
ActionMethod:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult CreateWine(ViewModelCreateWine viewModelCreateWine) { GetMasterDataRegions(viewModelCreateWine); if (Request.Params.ToString().IndexOf("Save") > 0) { if (TryValidateModel(viewModelCreateWine.WineDetails)) { m_wineService.CreateWine(viewModelCreateWine.WineDetails); return RedirectToAction("index", "Admin"); } } return View(viewModelCreateWine); }
The ActionMethod "CreateWine" needs to call the "CreateWine" method in the WineService so that in the end a new Wine is added to the Database. So far it looks ok. As shown in the above code the [SkipRequestValidation] is set on the "Description" property of the WineDetails model so that the user can add Rich Text to the description and HTML elements are allowed during the Request validation. This works perfectly fine until the Params collection of the Request is accessed in the code to check if the Save button is clicked. When this line of code is trying to execute the following exception is thrown:
Exception Details: System.Web.HttpRequestValidationException: A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (ViewModelCreateWine.WineDetails.Description="<p>HTML Content with...").
The same exception is thrown when I put the [ValidateInput(false)] attribute on the action method. When I comment out the "if" statement and its content there is no issue and the model validation works just fine and skips the Request Validation on the Description property as expected.
In MVC2 the above code worked fine with the [ValidateInput(false)] attribute on the action method.As I said I'm not sure if this is a bug, it very well might be my own stupidity, but I thought it would be worth to mention here. So any feedback is more than welcome.
I am trying to populate a drop down list from my controller for a create action. I can display the dropdown as I want but when I cannot get the value to be stored in the database. My models:
[Code]....
Controller: [Code]....
View: [Code]....
This above snippet will show me the message "The value '50117dae-a7d7-4371-926f-7b1f7aaec133' is invalid."
if I change the line to @Html.DropDownListFor(ct => ct.CollectionType.CollectionTypeId, new SelectList(ViewBag.CollectionTypes as System.Collections.IEnumerable, "CollectionTypeId", "Title")) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CollectionType)
the page will not do anything - I believe this could be because the controller is trying to add a new CollectionType.
Curious what the best practice is for returning errors to a view from a controller where the error isn't really a validation error, but more like "user not found" or "service timeout" type of errors. (in ASP.NET MVC2 framework)
I've been adding them to the ModelState's model errors, but that doesn't seem appropriate. (although easy to implement and maintain)
Example - A user tries to log in, and their credentials do not match a known user.
Basically I have RegisterModel2 that has a Person class. My requirement is that Phone Number and Address are not required for registration. But if they try to enter a Phone number of Address then it should validate it. Problem is that it is always stating that the child fields of Phone (area code, number) and child fields of Address (street1,city,etc) are required. Is there a way to annotate in the RegisterModel that a parent class is not Required but if any data in a child element is given then and only then should the child elements be validated?
My Person EDM class has a nullable 0.1 -> 0.1 navigation property to Phone and Address.Here is the person class
[MetadataType(typeof(Person_Validation))] public partial class Person { }
public class Person_Validation [code]....
The Person EntityObject has an optional/nullable Navigation Property to the Phone Object.
The Phone object has these annotations,[Code]....
I have RegisterModel defined as follows: [Code]....
My View looks like this: [Code]....
And here is my Controller Action it is posting to: [Code]....
I have been trying to develop edit functionality for a table in database using LINQ to SQL classes (.dbml). Thoiugh updatmodel does not fail, it still does not update the database. I have tried several different things with no resort. I have something going live in a day or so, Below is my code for controller class in MVC 1.1
//Homecontroller.cs //Overload edit view for postback [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public object Edit(Guid id, FormCollection form) { //Get the row ID which is being edited var Weballoc = db.WebAllocationImports.Single(w => w.OGReference == id); try { // Weballoc.Side = Request.Form["Side"].ToString(); // Weballoc.Commission = Convert.ToDouble(Request.Form["Commission"]); UpdateModel(Weballoc, new[] { "ClientSubAccount", "Quantity", "TradeDate", "SecurityID", "Side", "Commission", "NetAmount", "TradeID", "Price" }); db.SubmitChanges(); } catch (Exception ex) { } return View("ShowCGMAllocations",allocation); The following is a sample of my edit.aspx view <% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%> <fieldset> <legend>Fields</legend> <p> <label for="ClientSubAccount">ClientSubAccount:</label> <%= Html.TextBox("ClientSubAccount", Model.ClientSubAccount) %> <%= Html.ValidationMessage("ClientSubAccount", "*") %> </p> } <p> <input type="submit" value="Save" /> </p> </fieldset> <% } %>
I've been struggling with this issue for a few days now and I'm still not able to figure it out. I've created a sample project to hopefully help figure this issue out. The main issue is when I load a user from my context and perform an UpdateModel() on this object it seems to delete my entity references and I get null references in child objects. Here is the error: The operation failed: The relationship could not be changed because one or more of the foreign-key properties is non-nullable. When a change is made to a relationship, the related foreign-key property is set to a null value. If the foreign-key does not support null values, a new relationship must be defined, the foreign-key property must be assigned another non-null value, or the unrelated object must be deletedHere is the link to the code: Here (line 42, causes the error to happen)
on the line 2 i set new value to OrderDate.but after this step OrderDate get value of text box in view.the value of text box is shamsi date and on line 2 i convert that date to miladi date.why OrderDate get shamsi date?
