I am new to MVC. Now I have an application needs to be built using MVC. I want to show all the information in one view(or form), but the data are coming from different controllers. how the system knows the data in textbox1 goes to controller1 and the data from database in controller2 returns to textbox2 in the same view(or form)?

I have a simple model where a Person has Gifts. I have a view which is a list of Gifts belonging to one Person.
My problem is with the Create action for a new Gift. I want it to default to the PersonID that we are already viewing the list of Gifts for. I tried simply passing the last PersonID (they are all the same)
Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create", new { id = Model.Last().PersonID }) which works fine if there is already at least one Gift for that person but if this is the first Gift I don't have a value.
My Gift List controller knows the PersonID I want to pass but the view doesn't.
How do I pass this PersonID from my Gift List controller to my Gift Create controller via the Gift List view? Or is there a better way to do this?
Can i create a partial view and a controller that will feed data to the view, and if i render that partial in a Master page, the Data will show on whatever URL i am?
Or is there another way of showing content from database on every page(view)?

I have a View:
<div class="editor-field" id = "nick">Nick <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Nick)%><img src="/Content/Images/loading.gif" alt = "loading...."/>
<%: Ajax.ActionLink("Check", "Check", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "check-valid", LoadingElementId = "loading"})%>
</div>
I used: Nick = ViewData.Model.Nick in ActionLink as below, but I cannot get value of Nick from View.
<%: Ajax.ActionLink("Check", "Check", new {Nick = ViewData.Model.Nick}, new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "check-valid", LoadingElementId = "loading"})%>
I came upon this when had problem trying to return a view of a different controller.
In controller1, I have view view1.
In Action1 of controller2, I wanted to do something like:
public ViewResult Action1()
{
return View("/Controller1/View1");
}
but, found out, I couldn't do it. So I searched and found this:[URL]
One guy there responded and said that, for my case, it is possible to do things like below:
return View("~/Views/Controller1/View1.aspx");
this is considered an acceptable MVC practice. Is it OK, good, perfect to do so in the asp.net MVC realm?
I have a view that receives a Model and displays info of that model.
I have a submit button and when it is clicked i want it to send the id to the method to process it and delete a row that has such id.
How can I do this? I want to use a button not an html link like
@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = Model.Id }) |

There's a separate controller for this view. the controller just gets all available categories from database and passes to the view as a list. here's the view's code
[Code]....
and controller for this view

there's other controller which is responsible to retrieve data for content page when one of categories is seletced.

So, i want somehow to get the current category in Menu.ascx.
I'm a newbie and I tried finding a solution of this error message:
"The model item passed into the
dictionary is of type
'NerdDinner.Controllers.DinnerFormViewModel',
but this dictionary requires a model
item of type
'NerdDinner.Models.Dinner'"
There are similiar problem error but not the same context problem. I believe that the problem is located in the edit.aspx and still i can't solve it.
DinnersController:
//
// GET: /Dinners/Create
public ActionResult Create()
{
Dinner dinner = new Dinner()
{
EventDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(7)
};
return View(new DinnerFormViewModel(dinner));
}

i just strated with asp.net mvc. My doubt is in a controller we use
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
so how a relevent view is returned for a particular controller.
I have the following code and wanted to know how to use the ActionLink par to to a page with a seperate controller/view and pass the Mode.ProjectId into this other controller/view.

I'm a php programmer (code igniter) but interested in learning ASP.net MVC, I have a few question regarding this new exciting framework In php codeigniter's controller I can easily catch a post variable using

In comparison in ASP.net MVC we can create an action method that will accept post variable (but the parameter can get very crowded if we're passing a lot)

Or using FormCollection
[Code]....
Is there a way to catch post variable in ASP.net that looks like php's codeigniter? I mean not by adding the parameter, because I wanted a controller method that is flexible in receiving post request A controller that can accept and process any post request like in php (where we don't have to put that parameter to the controller method, we just call them

I have setup an httppost that sends a string into my controller, searches for some results using linq, and then sends the results to a view. In debug stepping through the code I can see the data that I am looking for being passed into the return view statement, but the page just appears to refresh (it doesn't render the view as expected with the result). why my controller fails to redender the view? (note: I didn't include the view because I can send a ToList() to it without an issue. For example, return View(_entities.Persons.ToList());
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult RenderSearch(string usersearchtext)
{
if (usersearchtext != null)
{
var search_results = from s in _entities.Persons
where s.Description.Contains(usersearchtext)
select s;
return View("SearchResult", search_results.ToList());
}
else
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
So I have a dropdown in a form which when at item is selected postback to database and get some values which I am now storing in an object. I need to get the values from this object into textboxes on the form in the view..how can I do this???
View 2 RepliesIn 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.
Hi I have created the following controller i want to add view that should have the data access class UserMagnament.Controller.menuitems but when i add view by right clicking on view folder,it is not showing "UserMagnament.Controller.menuitems" in add data class
No controller is shown such as homecontoller, accounts controller, UMController(My Controller) etc i have converted my solution from mvc 1 to mvc2. i checked the web.config. it seems ok for MVC2
[Code]....
I would like to pass List<SelectListItem> (not selected item but the whole "List" object) back to controller.
for example in my GET controller i would have this
ViewData["list"] = some select list from repository;
then on post I would like to get the list back from view..pretty much i'm trying to use ViewData["list"] as storage..this way I would use ajax to remove or add items to/from the list.
I want to know url of View from another controller. The following is structure
Controller
Home
Account
View
HomeIndex.aspx
AccountLogin.aspx
Now, I want to goto Index view of controller Home from view Login of controller Account
I know I can use method this.RediectToAction("Index", "Home") to do it but I don't want to method. It will fail to redirect when view or controller renamed.
i have created a controller method that just update a record in the database.
and i call this method using the following code
<%
: Html.ActionLink("Perform
Calculation",
"Calculate")%>
but the problem is that when i click on the Perform Link an error will be raised indicating that it can not find the Calculate view.
so how i can enforce my application to call the Calculate controller method to perform the update and to keep the user in the current page .(the index page).
I like ASP.NET MVC, because I like to have direct access to my web site's structure. However there's 1 thing that I don't like.
In Ruby on Rails to send data from Controller to View is really easy:
# Get a user in controller
@user = User.first(:id => 1)
# Display him in a view
<%= @user.id %>
In ASP.NET MVC it's much harder
// Controller
User user = new User(1);
ViewData["user"] = user;
// View
<% User user = (MyNamespace.User)ViewData["user"]; %>
<%= user.Id %>
With this ViewData thing all benefits of static languages go away, and we waste time boxing/unboxing objects.
P.S. Don't tell me to use Model object, because this is also true for other variables like integer.
And another question:
I'm trying to implement a comfrtable access to data. Since I can't use LINQ to SQL as I use Postrgresql, I have to do it on my own. I'm tired of direct SQL queries, so I'm trying to implement something like this:
User user = User.Find("first_name" => "Bob");
