MVC :: Using A Partial View To Render A Section Of A Form Twice
Aug 23, 2010
I'm trying to figure out if there's a good way to remove the duplication in this scenario. Here's the model ... a Person that contains two Addresses:
[Code]....
And here's the view:
[Code]....
The entire Address block is duplicated ... one for the Home address, one for the Work address. To remove duplication, I tried factoring out the Address block into a partial view, and doing this in place of the two divs above:
[Code]....
And the page renders fine, but when it gets posted back on form submit, the model binding doesn't work. (Of course it doesn't work ... the <input> tags for the address blocks both have name="Street", so there's no way for the model binder to know whether to shove that into HomeAddress or WorkAddress.)
I read this post:
[URL] but that answer seems most unsatisfactory. Is there a better solution?
I am totally a new bee in asp.net mvc. Let me now explain my issue. I have a strongly typed view which inherits from a view model Document. I want to have a partial view in that view itself. My code for this purpose is :
I am trying to implement something like Ruby on Rail's ActionDispatch::Flash to pass messages to the next page request. The approach that I want to take is to store a pair of (partial view name, model object) in the session context and render it in the master page when rendering the request to display the flash message.
Inside my HttpApplication subclass I now have:
[Code]....
to render the partial view that was specified by name when Global#Flash was called.
I want to use a view for the flash message instead of saving the message as a string in the session context because I want to include the URL in the message:
<%-- BookmarkAddedFlash.ascx --%> <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<MyApp.Web.Models.Bookmark_AddModel>" %> <%: Html.DisplayTextFor(m => m.Url) %> was successfully bookmarked.
And I only want to render the view when the subsequent request is made; i.e. one request sets the flash message and the subsequent request renders it.
<% Html.RenderPartial("hello", new HelloInput { Name = "Jimmy" } ); %>
I would like to be able to like this:
<%=Html.Hello("Jimmy") %>
So I would like to know how create this helper:
public static string Hello(this HtmlHelper helper, string name) { return the result of rendering partial view "hello" with HelloInput{ Name = name }; }
I want to know that how to render partial view based on where the user navigates. I mean to say if user navigates to Home/index it will load different partial view and if user navigates to Home/contact it will load different partial view on the _layout page.Â
I have an Index view that shows a list of employees and a Create partial view with a form and submit button to create employees. In the Index view, I have:
@{Html.RenderAction("Create");}
A user sees a blank form to create employees and a list of employees. After the user has typed data in the form and clicked the submit button, the form should become blank and the list of employees should be refreshed, showing employees plus the new employee.
The problem is I don't know what to return from the Create action:
public ActionResult Create(Employee employee) { return ??? }
I am trying to implement an ajax form inside of a jquery ui dialog.
I have a view with a button that opens the modal dialog form, makes an ajax call to an action that loads a partial view into the dialog. The partial view consists of a form created via Ajax.begin form. When I post the form I close the modal and update a div on my main page. This all works fine.
The problem is, the next time I open the modal and submit the form the http POST for the form is called twice. The third time I open/submit the form is submitted 3 times and so on...
It seems as if the submit button/form is bound multiple times and I cant figure out how to fix this.
Here is my code...
first the jquery call to load the ajax form partial view and create the modal...
I've been watching a video on Scott Hanselmnn teaching MVC 2 tricks/tips. He mentions how MVC 2 by default uses ASP.NET Web Forms view engine to render the output of the views; he mentions that the web forms view engine is a little slower than it could be for MVC 2 since it generates a control tree and then outputs the HTML to the page (I hope I said that right).
I was wondering what he meant by web forms generating a code tree before outputting the HTML to the page. Does anyone have insight on the view engine of Web forms and the steps of the rendering process works for ASP.NET and MVC2?
I have a web form where I define an array of type struct and I redirected it in the <script runat="server"> section of the second web form. But when I use that array below, in the <script type="text/javascript"> section in the html code of the same web form an error occured in the for cycle saying that the array (Array1) is undefined, and also the counter which I also defined in <script runat="server"> section.
I have this code in the <script runat="server"> section of the second web form:
public struct Point1 { public float lat; public float long1; } protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Retreive from session Point1[] Array1 = Session["s1"] as Point1[]; //Run a Foreach loop int nCnt = 0; foreach (Point1 p1 in Array1) { float x1 = p1.lat; float y1 = p1.long1; nCnt++; } } and in the <script type="text/javascript"> section I have: var for (var i = 0; i < nCnt; i++) { lineString.getCoordinates().pushLatLngAlt(Array1[i][0], Array1[i][1],0); } lineString = ge.createLineString(''); lineStringPlacemark.setGeometry(lineString);
Now after dropping MVC 2.0 .dll's, I am getting the error:
CS1061: 'object' does not contain a definition for 'Categories' and no extension method 'Categories' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Do I have to update my solution or anything going from mvc 1 to 2?
to update a part of form before the request completes?for example, I have placed following code in button1_click
lbl1.text = "1"
system.threading.thread.sleep(2000)
lbl1.text = "2"[code]...
so what i want is, lbl1's value should be changed to 1 then to 2 after 2 second and then to 3 after another 2 seconds, rather than waiting for whole procedue completion.i had also tried to write this value to session and try to update these values from timer controlled updatepanel but it turned out that session are sent/set only when whole request is complete.
I am using tabs and I want some user input on each one.hen I click submit I return the partial view. However it is only the partial view that gets rendered.What I am trying to do is keep the overall view and render the partial view. In fact what I am trying to do is known as hijaxing, but I am not familiar enough with Ajax that I know how to do it.So this is my view;
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Employee.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<SHP.WebUI.Models.HolidayRequestViewModel>" %><asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server"> HolidayRequest</asp:Content><asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="EmployeeContent" runat="server"> <% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%> <%: Html.AntiForgeryToken() %> <h2>Holiday Request</h2> <p>You have <%: Html.DisplayFor(model => model.DaysAvailableThisYear) %> days left annual leave for this year and <%: Html.DisplayFor(model => model.DaysAvailableNextYear) %> days left for next year.</p> <p>If your request is approved and exceeds the number of days left, then those extra days will not be paid.</p> <%: Html.HiddenFor(x => x.EmployeeId) %><%: Html.HiddenFor(x => x.ApproverId) %> <% } %> <div id="tabs"> <ul> <li><a href="#tabs-1">Approver</a></li> <li><a href="#tabs-2">Single Date</a></li> <li><a href="#tabs-3">Date Range</a></li> </ul> <div id="tabs-1"> <% Html.RenderPartial("GetApproverTab", Model); %> </div> <div id="tabs-2"> <% Html.RenderPartial("GetSingleDateTab", Model); %> </div> <div id="tabs-3"> <% Html.RenderPartial("GetDateRangeTab", Model); %> </div> </div></asp:Content> This is my partial view; <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<SHP.WebUI.Models.HolidayRequestViewModel>" %><% using (Html.BeginForm("GetSingleDateTab", "Employee", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "frmSingleDate" })) { %><p>Enter your day or part day of Annual Leave here.</p><table> <tr> <td align="right">Date:</td> <td><%: Html.EditorFor(x => x.SingleDate) %></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">Morning Only:</td> <td><%: Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.MorningOnlyFlag) %></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">Afternoon Only:</td> <td><%: Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.MorningOnlyFlag) %></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Save" /></td> </tr></table><%: Html.HiddenFor(x => x.EmployeeId) %><%: Html.HiddenFor(x => x.ApproverId) %> <% } %>
Members view (index) that lists members that users can select to show a partial view in the same view with details for the selected memberUses jquery (Ajax.ActionLink) to call a partial view method in the members controller to then load the members detail sectionWorks fine up to here....but I'd like to load the partial view with "member" details for a default or random member on initial load -- ie not through the Actionlink selectionHow do I invoke the partial view method on the initial load?
Let's say there is a textbox and a dropdownlist in mainview page, these two values are used by three partial views as well. when I use Html.RenderAction to post action to those three partial views, how to pass these two values to those partial views and in those views how to get these two values as a part of a object to send to database.
've created a Search partial view and it works, except for my view model. What i mean is, the partial view sends a string to my ActionResult Method, but only a string, that is not related to the view model that the partial view is built in. If i tell my ActionResult method to receive the view model in which the partial view is built in, it always tells me that i have null values. Here's my code This is my partial view:
[Code]....
Now here is my Model in my MoviesSearch view model:
I have added a jquery datepicker on my MVC view. This view has a partial view. I need to filter my partial view based on the datepicker's selected date. I need to show buttons on partial view based on the date.
I have added partial view like this:
div id="dvGames" class="cornerdate1"> % Html.RenderPartial("Partial3"); %> /div>
I have a partial view that is rendered on a view. That partial view has textboxes in it. The user can enter values into them.
I need to put all the values from the textboxes in my partial view into an array, and then give the view (the parent page rendering that partial view) access to that array.
Can i create a partial view and a controller that will feed data to the view, and if i render that partial in a Master page, the Data will show on whatever URL i am?
Or is there another way of showing content from database on every page(view)?
