i am creating inintalizing a viewmodel with the following code in an create action;
[Code]....
the class applications is a LINQ to SQL Class and it has a property called VacancyID.
I want to default this VacancyID to '3'. From within this Action..
I am trying to build a web user control and set some default values for its properties in the code-behind like this:
[DefaultValue(typeof(int), "50")]
public int Height { get; set; }
[DefaultValue(typeof(string), "string.Empty")]
public string FamilyName { get; set; }
[DefaultValue(typeof(Color), "Orange")]
public System.Drawing.Color ForeColor { get; set; }
When I add the user control to the page and call it without any properties:
<uc1:Usercontrol ID="uc" runat="server" />
the default values are not set and every property is 0 or null.
I have a gridview which I use to add items through the footer and the EmptyDataTemplate. There is a date field. I want to set the default of it to the current system date.
gridview template code is as follows...
[Code]....
Empty data template code is as follows...

Prior to using a ViewModel, I could easily pass the "soon to be edited" object directly to the view without needing to fuss over setting individual properties etc as the View conveniently accepted the Employee type directly..
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult EditEmployee(int? id)
{
EmployeeRepository ER = new EmployeeRepository();
Employee SomeEmployee = ER.GetEmployee(id.Value);
if(SomeEmployee!=null)
return View(SomeEmployee);
But now I'm using a ViewModel with DataAnnotations attributes applied over the top of various properties for validation purposes. Which creates a problem.. After fetching the "soon to be edited" object from the db, setting the ViewModel's values is suddenly a whole lot more complicated. I can't simply pass the retrieved object straight to the view, as the View now expects the VMEmployee type instead. I would like to be able to do something like:
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult EditEmployee(int? id)
{
EmployeeRepository ER = new EmployeeRepository();
Employee SomeEmployee = ER.GetEmployee(id.Value);
if(SomeEmployee!=null)
return View(new VMEmployee(SomeEmployee));
All paths seem to lead to a huge constructor which manually sets the values of each individual property. But I never had to do that before when I wasn't using a ViewModel. Model binding was a blessing! My objects also have complex child objects, which my form is also collecting values for, so this would be a huge/verbose task against DRY principals. I don't even really want to use a ViewModel, but am forced to because I need two different DataAnnotations rule sets for different validation scenarios applied to the same object.
All I want to do is be able to have two different DataAnnotations rule sets for different scenarios. I.e. public-facing www site vs internal-facing admin site. DataAnnotations doesn't seem to be flexible enough to easily cater for this common need. I've tried AutoMapper, but it throws an error saying it can't map my object types, I suspect because Employee was auto-generated by LINQ to SQL. What is the most elegant way to achieve this while sticking to DRY principals?
I am just getting started with MVC after many years of WebForms development.
I have a very simple page with two textbox fields, one called Input where a user will enter something, and one called Output where I want to return some string after they post the form, much like a postback scenario in WebForms. I have the View connected to a ViewModel for strong typing.
The ViewModel:
[Code]....
The View:
[Code]....
The Controller:
[Code]....
The problem I have is that the output text "Here is some response" never gets displayed, even though I modify the value in the HttpPost method and return the viewmodel to the view. Unless (just tried it) I set the textarea to disabled with:
[Code]....
Can someone explain this behavior? It seems as some "magic" assumes that whatever was in the input fields before the HttpPost should also be there after the post, similar to what ViewState does in WebForms.
Is there a way of setting the default unchecked value of a checkbox? Am not using a databound control. This is passing data from a form and would like it to pass false as opposed to null when unchecked.

View 2 RepliesI have a page with user controls getting dynamically added. Inside some of these user controls there are form elements, either simple <input> tags or complex third party controls (Telerik RadDatePicker for example) (technical details at end).
These controls are currently being identified as part of the same form based on a ValidationGroup string setting. My question is how can I get these form elements to submit on Enter together and raise the right postback event?
I cannot use the DefaultButton panel property because I don't have the id of the submit button available within the controls server-side. I think I might be able to use jquery clientside like this:
<input onKeyPress="javascript:if (event.keyCode == 13) {$(this).change(); $('#submitclientid').click();}" ...>
But I don't know how to do that for the third party controls.
Further technical details: Each form element is in a separate DNN module. Inter-module communication can be used to pass around data server side which results in multiple modules working together as part of a single logical form on a page.
I am not trying to achieve anythign fancy but just trying to set default selected value for one of the dropdown that I am using. for that I am doing Items>selected= true for whatever item I want selected when i load the page. In my case, it is a month dropdows and I am selecting date 14 as selected default value out of all 30 values but somehow, out of the blue .NEt decides to show me 29 instead of 14. I am not sure if there is some another setting that is overwritting this value.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set the default button to my master page for logging in.
Basically I've got a master page, with a LoginView in it, with a Login control in it, With a button in it... When you press "Enter" I want it to use that as the default button.
(structure in sudo-code if it helps)
BODY
Form ID=Form1
LoginView ID=MasterLoginView
AnonymousTemplate
Login ID=MainLogin
LayoutTemplate
Button ID=LoginButton
I know I've got to use .FindControl("") but as much as I mess with it I can't seem to get it to hook to the button.
to have back fired on me a bit (See http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=620703). I have some other buttons on the page that I attach javascript to, e.g.:
btnPick12.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return Pick12();")
And in the page Head I have the script
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function Pick12() {
var PopupWindow = null;
[code]....
Basically I use javascript to pop open a window with a datepicker which they use to populate a textbox on the main page with a date. However, if I set a defaultbutton, when i click one of these buttons the popup window flashes to the front of the screen and then the main browser window gets focus over it. Without default button the popup stays on top.
I would like to set a default date, not the current date ( say 31/11/2011) for the calender control. What date format should I be using for the datetime variable so the calender control accepts the date. I have tried using the following date format but I keep getting the error: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
[Code]....
Or is there another way to set a date for the calender control.
I am trying to find a way of setting a default image(e.g. file path) for the FileUpload control so that a default image can be used if a user did NOT choose to upload an image.
