MVC :: Handle Nulls In Views?
May 21, 2010
I have an Edit View with a bunch of fields, some non-required. If the user decides not to fill them in, thats fine and it gets saved to the database as nulls (nullable fields).
The problem is when the controller redirects to the Details page and tries to render these null objects in labels using LabelFor(Model.SomeNonRequiredField)
Where/How should i be handling "acceptable" nulls?
Right now in my service layer im manually setting these nulls to String.empty before committing to the db, but now its saving it as an empty character instead of null - something like "SetDefaultValuesForNonRequiredFields(myObject)"

<p>Hi</p> <p>I'm a newbie in MVC but a veteran web forms developer. I really like the idea of strongly typed views but what if I have multiple objects to pass to my razor view. Would I then NOT use strongly typed views and just use the ViewBag?</p>

Caller to Draw.cshtml
if (errors == false)
{
PageData["Range"] = zoom;
PageData["StartReal"] = startRe;
PageData["StartImaginary"] = startIm;
PageData["StartColor"] = startColor;
PageData["N"] = N;
PageData["SizePic"] = sizePic;
@:<img src="@Href("Draw.cshtml")" />;
}
Here all variables have a value, however when arriving in Draw.cshtml the PageData all pass as null.
Draw.cshtml
@{
var zoom = PageData["Range"];
var startRe = PageData["StartReal"];
var startIm = PageData["StartImaginary"];
var startColor = PageData["StartColor"];
var N = PageData["N"];
var sizePic = PageData["SizePic"];
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(sizePic, sizePic);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap);
Pen myPen = new Pen(Color.Red);
juliaset(zoom, startRe, startIm, startColor, N, sizePic, g, myPen);
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=test.jpg");
bitmap.Save(Response.OutputStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
g.Dispose();
bitmap.Dispose();

I am using a cursor to iterate through a small set of record (28), perform some maths on each record and then update the record / row.
The problem is the cursor pulls in all nulls for every field in every row
It also gives me 28 rows, 28 times (see below)

environment: VS2008, MySQL 5.1.45, .net Connector 6.2.2
Error msg:
NoNullAllowedException: Column 'idNames' does not allow nulls.
The MySQL DB has on "idNames" (Primary Key) a tick-mark for: primary Key, Not Null, Auto-Increment Also: I can add/retrieve records via the 'MySQL Query Browser'; I see the data via VS2008 'Preview Data'!
As said in the comment below; when the 'idNames' is explicitely given the rows.add works fine. So it seems that I miss something around the 'auto-increment' business!

I have a situation where a query returns ~20 columns, but at any given execution only 5 of the 20 will have non-NULL values. The remaining 15 will contain null for every row in those columns.
I need to figure out which of the 5 columns have values. I am using a SqlCommand. How would I best approach figuring out these 5 columns?

I am working on a legacy application. It uses custom MVC framework and Windows Communication Framework service to bridge the Presentation layer with the rest of the application (i'll call this AppServer).
Every Entity in the AppServer inherits from BaseEntity which contains the method:
[Code]....
As you can see:
if the personObject was not null, but the ContactAddress was, [which is exactly what happens in the construction of a PersonObject in the event that no contact details are provided (hence they are not present in the HashTable and dont get created)] then the code will fail with a null reference exception.
SO:
Is there a fundamental flaw in the way that objects are getting created? It would be easy to point the finger in this direction, however, im sure there must have been some reason for the original architect to choose not to instantiate an empty ContactAddress object every time a Person object is referenced - EG if in a particular Presention->AppServer Request/Response cycle we only want a person's login details - we wouldn't care about the ContactDetails.
FINALLY MY QUESTION:
Is there a clean way to check for null objects within an aggregation, without doing something like:
if(Parent!=null)
if(Parent.child!= null)
if(Parent.child.child != null)
It just looks messy and it seems such a common problem, im sure there would be a better way of doing things.

I'm converting my application from using System.Data.OracleClient to Oracle.DataAccess.Client and I've noticed some weird behavior.
I am calling a stored procedure that sets an output parameter value. Under some circumstances, a null value gets assigned to this value and I need to detect it.
Here's how I'm declaring it using ODP.net:
cmd.Parameters.Add("p_status", OracleDbType.VarChar2, 200, DBNull.Value, ParameterDirection.Output)
The old Microsoft driver for Oracle would read the value as an empty string. However, ODP is returning a value {null} (per Visual Studio's debugger), which is not equivalent to null, DBNull.Value, nor an empty string. As a result, the code doesn't branch correctly now.

I have an MVC view that contains a number of partial views. These partial views are populated using partial requests so the controller for the view itself doesn't pass any data to them. Is it possible to reload the data in one of those partial views if an action was triggered in another? For example, one partial view has a jqGrid and I want to refresh the data in another partial view when a user selects a new row in this grid. Is there a code example for this scenario (in C#) that I can look at to see what am I doing wrong? I am using ajax calls to trigger a new request but non of the partial views are refreshed so I am not sure if the issue is with the routing, the controller,

how to sort a datatable (dataview) so that the second column is ascending but nulls are last.
I'm trying to do the following Date1 ASC, DATE2 ASC (but if DATE2 is null it is last in this Date1 group)
Note: Date1 can never be null so a Date2 that is null should still be grouped in with its Date1.

I have a Listview with a LinqDataSource. I am allocating a resoure called Bladder Scanners to clinicians on the day selected. The field in the database, 'Allocated_Bladder_Scanner_Id', allows nulls. The 'nullable' property of the field in the dbml is set to allow nulls.In the edit template, I have an unbound dropdownlist (drpBladderScannerDropdown) with an 'empty string' item added to cater for nulls, and
AppendDataBoundItems="true".In order to show only bladder scanners which have not yet been allocated on the selected day, I am databinding the dropdownlist to a dictionary of unallocated bladder scanners in the ItemDataBound event. I then add the currently selected bladder scanner as a listitem and set it as the selected item. So far, so good, all works well. However, if the clinician has a bladder scanner currently allocated, and then the user elects to not allocate the clinician a bladder scanner on that day by selecting 'Nothing' from the dropdownlist, the LinqDataSource fails to update the field. It does not throw an exception, it just doesn't set the field to nulls. In ItemUpdating I have the following code:

I have been struggling with an issue with the Detailsview that I'm using only sending null values to my sqldatasource update. I have seen people on the forums with this problem before but none with my specifics. Essentially, I'm creating a master/details scenario but using ajax updatepanels. A Gridview holds the master records and upon selection of that record the Detailsview is populated and brought up in a modal box. This works fine to display the data in the Detailsview. But upon update all nulls are sent back. I've evaluated the NewValues collection in the Detailsview OnItemUpdating event, and see all nulls. I read a posthere that talks about the KB article KB941155; which states a problem with .NET not being able to find a bound control in template situations:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941155I wasn't sure if this applied to me since I am using Master pages. A couple of other notes. I am using BoundFields in my Detailsview, as well as a sqldatasource with a stored procedure updatecommandtype. The DataKeyNames are being set correctly as well.

My filter Expression was working fine with filtering by Control Parameters.When I added the Phone Parameter it went nuts - with the Phone Parameter the GridView just Comes out blank upon loading the page (without it would show Select * from Individuals)Is it because the phone field is populated with numbers? Don't get it.... In the SQL server the 'phone' field is set to 'varchar(30)' and nulls are allowed.here is my code:

How do you change the URL of views for example if I have the following:
/Views/Home/Details.aspx will produce the following URL: /Home/Details/1
I would like to rename it to say News. I remember it being something along the lines of ActionResult but can't remember exactly.
