How do I model the following using Castle ActiveRecord?
I have two classes, Customer and Task.
I would like to reuse a third class, Note, stored in a Collection in each of the Customer and Task classes.
[Code]....
I would then like to be able to pass the Notes collection to a Gridview, Listview or Repeater in the relevant ASP.Net page for the Customer or Task classes.
So I'm coding up a simple blogging/content application in MVC2. In my EF domain model I have an abstract entity named "Resource" which serves as a base class for any content that can be published. I have entities named "Picture", "BlogEntry" and "Event" which all inherit from "Resource".
My problem is, it seems it doesn't make collections for Pictures, BlogEntries and Events. I only have a collection of Resources. How can I get collections of the inherited classes? Is it something I'll have to create myself? If so, how?
I'm curious as to what people consider better practice, between duplicating model structure in the view model and using a mapping tool to move data between the two, or aggregate the model inside the view model, i.e. have a property on the view model class that is a reference to the actual model. Which is considered a better approach in general?
View 1 RepliesI am following the Nerd Dinner tutorial as I'm learning ASP.NET MVC, and I am currently on Step 3: Building the Model. One part of this section discusses how to integrate validation and business rule logic with the model classes. All this makes perfect sense. However, in the case of this source code, the author only validates one class: Dinner.
What I am wondering is, say I have multiple classes that need validation (Dinner, Guest, etc). It doesn't seem smart to me to repeatedly write these two methods in the partial class:
[code]....
This doesn't "feel" right, but I wanted to check with SO to get opinions of individuals smarter than me on this. I also tested it out, and it seems that the partial keyword on the OnValidate method is causing problems (understandably so). This doesn't seem possible to fix (but I could very well be wrong).
I'm completely new to AutoMapper, and I have a View that looks like this:
@using (Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<fieldset>
<legend>Consultant</legend> [code]...
This is pretty much the same error I got when trying to use the entity object directly as model, rather than having AutoMapper create a ViewModel. So what am I doing wrong? This is driving me crazy...
UPDATE 3:Well, neverending story... I found some info on using UseDestinationValue on the CreateMap method in AutoMapper. So I tried that, and well, that actually got me a bit further. But...now I get a new exception on SaveChanges() (in the EF model). The exception now is: "The operation failed: The relationship could not be changed because one or more of the foreign-key properties is non-nullable." This appears to be an exception that also occurs when trying to delete child objects in a one-to-many relationship if you don't have cascade delete set, but that's not what I'm trying to do here...
Here's the updated CreateMap methods:Mapper.CreateMap<ConsultantViewModel, Consultant>().ForMember("Id", opts => opts.Ignore()).ForMember(
x => x.Programs, opts => opts.UseDestinationValue());
Mapper.CreateMap<Consultant, ConsultantViewModel>();
Calling Index view is giving me this very very annoying error . Can anybody tell me what to do about it

View 3 RepliesI'm building an MVC 2 RTM app, and I want to be able to share my model across applications. I'd *like* to be able to implement it like:ASP.NET MVC2 app (holds Views and Controllers)Class library to hold Model(s)WCF app to handle the data transactions with the models via different data stores across apps I had the MVC app working fine, but I wanted to abstract the data stuff and be able to work with the model across apps through the WCF site, so I created a class library project and moved all of the Models classes into that and set-up a WCF app, then added project references to the MVC and WCF apps that point at the class library. The idea was I can create services that take and return objects from the model via method calls across apps. It appears that everything's wired up correctly in the MVC project, so I'm passing the objects stored in the Models class library between controllers and views and everythig is compiling just fine, but for some reason the data is not being passed back from the views to the controller on POST -- all of the properties in the classes are null or empty.
When I debug the app, I can see that the values are stored in the model data dictionary but not the model object itself. What am I doing wrong? Am I on the wrong path, or missing something obvious (to some)?
This is my first post in this forum and I want to congratulate all the ASP.Net MVC team for this great framework.Somedays ago, I saw the new ASP.Net MVC 2 Model Validation, following the instructions from Scott Gu blog...I found something interesting that I don't know if it's an expected behavior or a bug.My Model class is inherited, so I have something like this:
[Code]....
I have an descendent of this class with some more properties, and the validators for ASP.Net MVC:

Then I found that the Client validation don't work for the inherited property
I am trying to make a post that should use the Default Model Binder functionality in ASP.NET MVC 2 but unfortunately I can't get through. When I click on the checkout button I populate a form dinamically using jQuery code and then submit this form to the server. This is the form that get submitted
<form action="/x/Order/Checkout" id="cartForm" method="post">
<input name="__RequestVerificationToken" type="hidden" value="UDjN9RdWheKyWK5Q71MvXAbbDNel6buJd5Pamp/jx39InuyYIQVptcEubIA2W8DMUzWwnZjSGkLspkmDPbsIxy8EVuLvfCSZJJnl/NrooreouptwM/PaBEz2v6ZjO3I26IKRGZPqLxGGfITYqlf8Ow==">
<input id="CustomerID" name="CustomerID" type="hidden" value="1">
<input id="FirmID" name="FirmID" type="hidden" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="CartItems[0].ServiceTypeID" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="CartItems[0].Quantity" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="CartItems[1].ServiceTypeID" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="CartItems[1].Quantity" value="1">
</form>
This is the jQuery code that handle the submit event for the form
$("#cartForm").submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault(); var form = $("#cartForm");
var panel = form.parent(); panel.parent().block();
$.ajax({ type: "post", dataType: "html",
url: '<%: Url.Content("~/Order/Checkout") %>',
async: false, data: form.serialize(),
success: function (response, status, xml) { panel.parent().unblock(); },
error: function (response) { panel.parent().unblock(); } }); });
This is the controller action that should be get called
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public virtual ActionResult Checkout( CartModel cart ) {
} And finally this is the CartModel class involved
public class CartModel : BaseModel{
public int CustomerID { get; set; }
public int FirmID { get; set; }
public List<CartItemModel> CartItems { get; set; }
public CartModel() { CartItems = new List<CartItemModel>();
} } public class CartItemModel : BaseModel
{ public int ServiceTypeID { get; set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; } }
But the default Model Binder does not bind the web form data to a CartModel class. Using Fiddler I have been able to see that the data sent to the server is correct as you can see from the following snapshot.
I am trying to create a relation between 2 of my model classes. I have separated my Model classes to be in their own project "Domain Model" and the application exists in the "WebUI" project.
I have 2 models.... SupportIssues and Users....
SupportIssues has a column UserID which is also a primary key in the Users table.
I want to create a relationship where one user can have many support issues.
I just can figure out how to do this?
Here is a snippet of my supportIssue.cs class:

How can i link UserID to my User.cs class?
Is it anything to do with the [Associate] tag?
I use Linq to Sql (although this is equally applicable in Entity Framework) for my models, and I'm finding myself creating buddy classes for my models all the time. I find this time consuming and repetitive. Is there an easy way to automatically generate these buddy classes based on the models? Perhaps a visual studio macro?

I make use of validation with data annotations in my model classes. How do I make sure this annotations are not violated when I validate data in my business layer, before sending it to the DAL? I guess I don't want to define the validation rules in two places (model classes and in my BLL-classes)?
View 6 Replies I am setting up my new project..We are using entity frame work 4.0..
Is there any way to generate all classes and interfaces as we create manually for 3-tier architecture...
Or do i need to generate manually...
Ex:
Itest.cs
Public Interface ITest
{
int testproperty {get;set:}
}
Test.cs
Public class Test: ITest
{
public int testproperty {get;set:}
}
I am using a model but as I want to have clean views I use the viewmodel approach which is like a downsized model which I map in my controller actions before sending to the view or getting it back in a HttpPost attributed action.
My question is: where to put the data annotation attributes. On the viewmodel classes or on the model? If I get it clearly the viewmodel annotations are used for the client side generation of validation right?
Do does that mean I have to put data annotations everywhere on both model and viewmodel?
I can't believe I'm having so much trouble finding this information. I'm endeavouring to learn about creating model classes with Linq to SQL. By default VS2010 wants to use SQL Express, but our organisation has several database servers for development so I'd rather use one of those. PLEASE can somebody tell me how I can configure VS2010 to do that, as all I get is 'A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server ... Verify that the instance name is correct'. Yeah, thanks Microsoft. Actually telling me how to verify the instance name would be a really good move here.
View 1 RepliesI am using an Entity Data Model (.edmx) in my project. I am using context.Customers to bind the grid.
Now when the datasource is binded to grid, i made some updates for 2 rows in the database.
Now, how can i capture those 2 updated rows in the context........?
suppose i have Class A with some properties and Attributes, and Class B with the same, how can i merge these 2 class Properties and properties Attributes into 1 class at runtime, or better is how can i add these 2 classes into a a third class as properties of this new class with their Fields, Properties, Methods, etc... at Runtime ?

what i want is to create a dynamic ViewModel for MVC, where other classes are in some other assemblies, and i want them to be part of the model with their Datavalidation attributes. and i don't know how many or what exactly these classes are goanna be, so i want to iterate through assemblies and choose them then add them to the main View Model
I have following two classes:
public class A : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
{
public virtual string X[code]....
As you must be seeing the class A and B have exactly the same code , my question is how can I make a common class for it and use these two classes.
I am used to making separate Business Object and List<> classes for my DB tables. Sometimes I just have a basic task in hand as displaying a list of year for a search box or having some values in a drop down.
Right now I am ending up with a lot of separate classes and List classes<> for these basic operations.
How can I make a single class for some basic tasks as these by using generics? I want to have single class for some methods like get current year, employee names, Department Name/Code, Title etc. I am using .NET 2.0.
Edit
After some searching, I found that I can achieve similar tasks by creating a DTO namespace.
What I don't get right now is how to create multiple classes inside my DTO class. Say 1 class for just returning 'year', One for 'Employee Name/Code' and so on inside the single DTO class.
I'm trying to add a `Class` to the `EditorFor` Helper inside an `EditorTemplate`.
The problem is that because I'm using Unobtrusive Validation, the input element already has classes assigned to it.
Here is my EditorTemplate
[Code]....
And here is the output <input class="text-box single-line" id="BirthDate" name="BirthDate" type="text" value="08/08/1980" />
You can see here that the `datepicker` class has not been added, yet the "value" has been properly formatted.
Basically I can see that the `EditorTemplate` is working, but the `Class` is not being appended to the rest of the classes on the `<input>` element. Do any of you know how to fix this?
I've build a Class Library, in the same project i put a web project. But its impossible to access the classes from the dll generated by the class library. Whats wrong? JumpTide XML uses the namespace like:
namespace JumpTideClassLib
{
public class jumptidexml
{
public class MetaTags
{

I am not able to get classes inside web service in class library.
