Is it possible to instantiate an HtmlHelper object in a controller action in order to call HtmlHelper.EditorFor?
I would like to call HtmlHelper.EditorFor to return some partial html generated by an editor template in response to an ajax call. If I can do so I would not need to create an ascx file that otherwise would do the call to EditorFor.
My skills are failing me, and I know I've seen the code around for this but I can't find it. What's the quickest way to take any arbitrary URL, run it through your asp.net mvc routing system, and come out with a reference to a controller instance on the other end?For example, code execution is inside some arbitrary controller method. I want to do something like this:
...
string myURL = "[URL]";
RouteData fakeRouteData = new RouteData(Route???, IRouteHandler???)
RequestContext ctxt = new RequestContext(this.ControllerContext.HttpContext,
fakeRouteData);
ControllerFactory factory = ControllerBuilder.Current.GetControllerFactory();
Controller result = factory.CreateController(ctxt, controllername???)
I'm trying to get an instance of a controller just like the routing system does, regardless of where the code is executing. I'm unclear as to how to fit the pieces together at this point.
I am creating one Json array object and trying to pass it in MVC controller action method but i am getting null paramerter; as per my knowledge json only maps .net primitive datatypes.... so it assign null value.
Note: when i have look at request object i found that there are three parameter of created array. But how to get that value as parameter of function?
Lets say I have a simple controller for ASP.NET MVC I want to test. I want to test that a controller action (Foo, in this case) simply returns a link to another action (Bar, in this case).How would you test TestController.Foo? (either the first or second link)
My implementation has the same link twice. One passes the url throw ViewData[]. This seems more testable to me, as I can check the ViewData collection returned from Foo(). Even this way though, I don't know how to validate the url itself without making dependencies on routing.The controller:
public class TestController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Foo()[code].....
I'm trying to add file upload functionality to a page. I've got a form that posts the selected file to a controller with a 'savefile' method. But if I don't add a get version of 'savefile' I'll get a 404 error. Here is the form code which is presented on the Index page:
[Code]....
And here is the controller code:
[Code]....
Intuitively I don't think I should need a GET version of SaveFile but if omit it I get a 404 error when the form posts. Why should I need a GET version of SaveFile when all I want is to post a form and save the file?
UML and Patterns: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development, that follows the UP(Unified Process). It uses a Grasp Controller pattern to interact with domain classes by some methods like NewSale(), AddNewItemToSale() and CloseSale. In windows form, I can instantiate a object of this class in the UI and then use its methods to perform the actions. This works well in Client apps, but when I use asp.net mvc, I cannot find a way to instantiate an object (one for each user) that was always visible for a Controller (MVC). I cannot insert as an attribute inside Controller because it always create a new one.
View 1 Repliesif I use a Html.Hidden field in my view, when the value click to submit the form I would like to pass this data to the controller. This variable would contain int as key and string as value,
Dictionary<int, string> interestTable = new Dictionary<int, string>();
How can I specify the htmlAttribute fo this variable in my Html.Hidden code?
<% using(Html.BeginForm("Search", "SearchMembers")) { %>
<input type="hidden" name="ResearchInterests" id="researchInterests" value=""/>
<%= Html.Hidden("fullInterestsPath") %>,

I have a User entity and a department entity. I have a UserViewModel and DepartmentListModel which has List of departments.
UserViewModel has a property of type DepartmentListModel .
Now on user/create action I need to populate DepartmentListModel by calling DepartmentController's list action. List action returns populated DepartmentListViewModel.
From UserController how do I set DepartmentListModel ?
I tried doing so

But RedirectToAction returns RediretToRouteResult
I use <%= Html.Action("ReadXML") %> and have this error:

I have an edit application view, and it can be found at the following URL:
http://localhost:17262/Application/EditApplication/1
1 equals the application ID.
Also on the page I have a link that goes to another view to add an assistant for the application. I want to pass it the application ID so that the new assistant can be "linked" to this application. How would I get the value of 1 and add it to my action link? This is what I have in my HTML so far:
<%: Html.ActionLink("Add New Assistant", "Create", "Assistant", new { applicationID = "id" }, null) %>
If I have a controller with more than one action on, e.g. UserController, then I end up having that class require every dependency of every action. Is there a way I can have one controller per action and yet have the URLs appear the same way they currently do? e.g.MySite.com/User/Edit/1 would remap to User_EditController.Edit
View 1 RepliesI am not sure what is going on but even though I am invoking a different controller with action a particular FooController's Index action is being invoked all the time. The Global.asax file has setup the FooController to be the default controller.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters

I have an aspx page Test.aspx. It handles requests like
Test.aspx?First=value1&Second=value2&third=value3
How can I use routing to redirect this url to
TestController/MyAction?First=value1&Second=value2&third=value3
I know I can create an aspx and perform redirect in it`s page load. But seems ugly and I think it can be done with some custom route.What I`ve tried was: this solution.but it didnt work for me. I remember, that Test.aspx should not be on a disk. I don`t have it, and routing is still not working.
In ASP.NET MVC 2, to secure controller action, i have created a class RequirePermission inherited from ActionFilterAttribute class. The controller action looks like
[Code]....
Now instead of making different attributes , I want to use RequirePermission attribute like
[RequirePermission(permissions=Permissions.CanView+","+Permissions.CanEdit)] so that i can use it for different scenerious. but the compiler throw the following error. An attribute argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or array creation expression of an attribute parameter type
I know I can use Html.ActionLink(...) from my view to render an anchor tag with a link to an action. I know I can call RedirectToAction(...) from the controller to immediately call another action. But what I'd like to do (and don't know how), is get an action link from within the controller. I am building up a breadcrumb and want the link to an action. So I don't want to immediately jump to the action (as with RedirectToAction), but just get what the link would be.
View 3 RepliesI am calling a Controller Action from a view, within that controller I need to invoke another Action which I will invoke to save the view to a network location as either HTML or Image.
How do I retrieve the URL to an Action from within a Controller. I need the actual URL, this means RedirectionToAction or View() wont work.
Why? I need to pass in a URL which will contain a call to a View. This view will be used to generate an image or HTML document using the System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser.

I could do something like this, but its dirty ... well it leaves me with that dirty feeling.

A well-known benefit of MVC is its suitablility for Test Driven Development (TDD) because you can directly call your controller actions from your test methods.
How can you test the combination of a controller action with a ActionFilter attribute (using OnActionExecuted to modify the ActionResult returned by the Action)? If I just call the Action, it returns the ActionResult from the action, but the filter attribute is never invoked. I think maybe you can get it by Controller.ActionInvoker.InvokeAction(controllerContext, "ActionName"), but you have to accurately mock so much of the controllerContext to make it work that it's a real pain.

I'm writting an application where I want to execute some code before a controller is invoked, even before the controller is created. I would like to somehow hook into the request processing as early as possible after the request is parsed and the RouteData is available. I've tried to hook in by handling the BeginRequest event but at this point there is no RouteData. Is there another place I can look for the area when BeginRequest delivered or is there another place in the request processing pipe that I can hook in to find the area before my controller is invoked.
