If I wanted to create a custom HTML helper and take advantage of the new in-built templating feature, how would I do that? It appears the templating features are internal?
View 3 RepliesI am having a trouble while trying to create an entity with a custom view modeled create form. Below is my custom view model for Category Creation form.
[code]....
When i click on save button, it doesnt bind the category for me because of i am using custom view model and strongly typed html helpers like that
<%=Html.TextBoxFor(model => Model.Category.OrderNo) %>
My html source looks like this
[code]....
How can i fix this?
I currently trying to convert a ASP.NET MVC2 application to ASP.NET MVC3 razor. I have a lot custom Html helper methods, which render html output, like the one below, which renders a button with some markup :
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("<input type='submit' id='") .Append(buttonId) .Append("' name='" ) .Append(buttonId) .Append("' value='") .Append(buttonValue) .AppendLine("' class='myclass1 myclass2' />");return MvcHtmlString.Create(sb.ToString());
Can i create html helpers in Webforms project like in asp.net mvc?
View 2 RepliesWith the release of mvc 3 rc, I've started playing around with the Razor engine. Has anybody gotten razor templated helpers to work? If so, how? I have a single helper in View/Helpers folder and a single layout page. If I move the code to the view page, it works. The error is ' not in context' for the method name. How and where do I correct this?
View 3 RepliesI'm finding my self with the problem that if I do not show the Template for a "complex" object I have in the main view object I still get the errors in the summary. How do i get around this?
I've got a model with say:
->Persons (has its own editor template)
->Pets(has its own editor template)
In the create view I show each one depending if they are not null. But when I try to validate HouseType and say I have Persons not null and pets is null. I get errors of validation for pets.
How do I get around this?

View 2 RepliesI want to create HTML templates to send my subscribers e-mail message. I put HTML tags into a text file and changed the required format items every time I want to send an e-mail with values from my database using string.format():

I think the application will be slower as string.format() searches for more format items.
is this right? i am trying to display value in input box dynamically?
can anyone advice me is this corect approach? but still I am getting here only + + in input box?
So, I am having a hard time getting this to work. I am trying to add some typographic HTML codes to some labels I have strongly typed to my model.
<%: Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name) %>
I am using data annotations to customize the DisplayName of the property:
[DisplayName("Your friend’s name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
However the actual code is being displayed for the label:
Your friend’s name
I have also tried just using the old write method:
<%= Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name) %>
As concluded in this thread http://forums.asp.net/t/1583508.aspx MVC 2 converts some disallowed characters in the 'id' property of tag to the HtmlHelper.IdAttributeDotReplacement but the code to do that is internal to mvc and not exposed as i can see. Will I need to copy the code into my project so my custom herlps can do the same?
View 4 RepliesI have been using web forms and I have been let down by them. I hate the way it mangles my element id's and names. I want to have full control over my html and have the ability to have multiple forms on one page.
I do not use view state or post backs. All my server communication is done using JQuery ajax and sometimes page methods.
My pages do not make use of any runat=server controls other than occasionally using the repeater.
For now I have been using inline code like the following but I like the mvc html helpers.
EXAMPLE:
[Code]....
At the moment, using the asp.net mvc framework is not an option but I would like to use the HTML helpers in my asp.net application.
Is this possible to use the mvc html helpers or do I have to create my ow helpers?
I just upgraded my mvc 1.0 project to 2.0 using the wizard. My project builds fine however, my html helpers that I have used, does not render the input's ID tag. For some reason, only some controls render and some do not. For example:
[code]....
I thought it had to do with the fact that the value is empty, but from the two examples, they are nearly identical. Is this a bug? All was working before I upgraded.
i am working on an asp.net mvc 2 web app and inside my model i would like to include a field named "" that has the values "Male" and "Female". I would like to use custom templates and Data Annotations in order to take advantage of model metadata. Specifically, i would like to create one DisplayTemplate (displaying the value) and one EditorTemplate (displaying a dropdown list) for the "Sex" type field.
View 2 RepliesI´m learning mvc and I found a problem. I have a product table that stores currencies in integers. On the other hand I have a table name currency that stores each int id with the currency name.
On html.dropdownlist I followed the pattern:
The name of the form field (ArtistId) The list of values for the dropdown, passed as a SelectList The Data Value field which should be posted back with the form The Data Text field which should be displayed in the dropdown list The Selected Value which is used to set the dropdown list value when the form is displayed
This was great for Forms in order to display selections. Right know I´m finishing my details views and I need to use the int id on product table but display the name on currency table associated to that int id.
Does anyone knows if it exist an html helper that renders the Data Text Field that should be dsiplayed on the View taking into consideration the int number?
Something like @html.display("Name", model.product.currencyid) where name is pulled from db.currency?.
So, most of the MVC examples I find are C#, so I seem to have trouble finding samples ....(bear with me, I'm a newbie) with that said, if anyone can point me in the right direction,
I simply want to be able to apply htmlattributes / styles to my select box

i wrote mvc 2 application with target framework asp.net 4.0 but my hosting provider supports asp.net 3.5. then i set my project's target framework to 3.5 and i compiled successfully on localhost but when i run the application it says me:
Server Error in '/' application
Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<MvcApplication1.Models.xxx>'.
Source Error:
Line 1: <%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master"

and visual studio can't see Model and html helpers on view pages.
I'm trying to write a simple declarative html helper: [Code]....
The helper works fine if I embed it into the page I want to use it on. But if I move it to a separate .cshtml file and place that file in the ~/Views/Helpers directory, my view can't be compiled anymore because the helper is not found.According to Scott Gu's blog article on Razor it should work.
The only workaround I have found so far is placing the Html helper in App_Code and Referencing it as @[MYHTMLHELPERFILENAME].Echo(...) . This works but is a bit messy since I don't want to repeat the name of my extension method (Echo.Echo("inputstring"), nor do I want to put all of my html helpers into one single file (something like MyHtmlHelpers.cshtml).It certainly isn't what Scott announced either, so I guess I must be doing something wrong.
namespace MvcLogin_Validation.Helpers
{
public static class LabelExtensions

Was RouteValueDictionary intended for use with htmlAttributes? Is there an alternative? The only 'feature' RouteValueDictionary looks like its got is it has a constructor which accepts an object.
What should I be using in custom helpers?
