i red some stuff, and what i got is that mvs normally works not directly with MSSQL on pc but witht he one it creates within project.. hm.. like that, and you can not see the database created from the project in normal SQL server databases.
View 2 RepliesCurrently, I am working with ASP.NET MVC1 and am still learning about Model Binding and how values from a View are passed back to the Controller / Model. Specifically, I want take an existing Model, create a Table and populate the Rows of the Table, allow the user to edit some fields and pass it back. In my example, I have a Class called "Ingredient" which has 4 public accessories: Name, Barcode, Amount, and Unit.
[Code]....
Or is this not possible? (Basically, I'm trying to re-create a datagrid where certain fields are editable and certain are not...)
In Visual Web Developer-2010, I have been trying to connect to IBM DB2 Database after installing the DB2 9.7 client (both supports VS2010/.Net4) so that I can use "ADO.NET Entity Data Model", but while clicking "New Connection" I can only see the list of Data Sources and Data Provider only related to MS SQL server. This is totally blocking my work, I am not able to work further since I cannot even establish the connection to my db2 database using this new editor so that I can create the edmx files in the solution for non MSSQL databases. Kindly provide me the solution ASAP, since my further work is blocking due to this.

CREATE VIEW FilteredFoos as SELECT Foo.* FROM Foo join ... WHERE ...(that is a view that implements some involved filtering, but returns all columns from one table) how do I add it to the project so that I can use the entity set, but get the Foo objects, not some new FilteredFoo objects.
var foos = myDB.FilteredFoos.Include("Bar").ToList();

I'm working on a new project where I have the luxury of working from a Model to Database approach using Entity Framework 4.
The project I'm working on is taking an agile approach where different phases will be rolled out over time.
Will the Model First approach work in my case? I noticed when you "Generate Database from Model" it recreates the entire schema from scratch which will obviously wipe all the data that is in the db. I was hoping for a more "Update Database from Model" approach where the db would just be altered to reflect the changes rather than recreated

View 1 Repliesi have vreater a class model for login
public class LogOnModel
{
[Required(ErrorMessage="*")]
public string username { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "*")]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
public string password { get; set; }
public bool rememberme { get; set; }
}
and created a view from controller
public ActionResult LogOn()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult LogOn(string Username, string Password, bool RememberMe)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Username) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Password))
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
else
return View();
}
my view
<% using (Html.BeginForm())
{ %>
<div>
<label>username</label>
<%: Html.TextBoxFor(m=>m.username) %>
</div>
<div>
<label>password</label>

but password textbox type does not include password charecters as(***). and not Html.ValidationMessage for empty textboxes.
i need to implement edit functionality for my model. among other fields my model contains record id in the database. when my controller is called i need to update the database record with the same id as the model using the fields in the model.
here is my controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(MyModel m)
{
var r = my_datacontext.MyTable.SelectSingleOrDefault(x => x.id == m.id);
if (r != null)
{
r = m;
my_datacontext.SubmitChanges();
}
}
this does not work because m does not get added to the datacontext's ChangeSet. why? i fixed this by changing the signature of my controller action to receive FormCollection instead of the model, and by invoking UpdateModel manually. i think this is not the right way to do it.
i am trying to create a temporary table as like an existing table.
create table #tmp AS ( select Table1.* from Table1 where Table1.column name in (select Table2.column name from Table2 where conditions) )
But it is showing Error...
In MVCs with which I have worked, the Controller has the job of co-ordinating a number of views, consequent to some user action against the model.
However in ASP MVC, there never appears to be more than 1 view resulting from an http request (please correct me if I am wrong). Instead the "Controller" in ASP MVC appears to be a URL Routing Target.
Also, in my (admittedly limited) experience, the Model in MVC is intended to be a model of the problem domain of the application. However in ASP MVC, the "Model" appears to be a model of the
data binding of the corresponding view.
Why is a null parameter being passed to the following controller action?
public FileContentResult GetImageForArticle(ArticleSummary article)
{
if (article == null || !article.ContainsValidThumbNail()) return null;
return File(article.ThumbNail, article.ThumbNaiType);
}
from the following partial view:
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<IEnumerable<AkwiMemorial.Models.ArticleSummary>>" %>
<%if (Model.Count() > 0) [code]...
Has anybody figured out a way to separate the dependency of the view/controller from the model. In other words, model is independent of the view/controller in asp.net MVC but has anybody also taken out dependency of the view/controller from model as well?
View 4 RepliesI've been going at this for several hours and I simply cannot find the solution.
I want to get some data from my user. So first, I use a controller to create a view which receives a Model:

The rest of this controller does not matter since no matter what I do, the count attribute of Request.Files (or Request.Files.Keys) remains 0. I simply can't find a way to pass the files from the form (the Model passes just fine).
