MvcContrib - Get Area Into MenuBuilder ActionLink?
Jan 12, 2011
I am using MenuBuilder with code like this:
public static MenuItem MainMenu(UrlHelper url)
{
Menu.DefaultIconDirectory = url.Content("~/Public/Images/");
Menu.DefaultDisabledClass = "disabled";
Menu.DefaultSelectedClass = "current";
return Menu.Begin(
Menu.Items("",
Menu.Action<HomeController>(p => p.Index(), "Home")
),
Menu.Items("",
Menu.Secure<HomeController>(p => p.About(), "About")
),
Menu.Items("",
Menu.Action<RegulationController>(p => p.Index(null), "Compliance")
)/* This is in the Compliance area */
).SetListClass("menu");
}
But I am also using MvcContib Areas and in the code above the final menu item is in an 'Area' called 'Compliance'.
(There are two other areas in the Mvc application and the first in the list of registered areas is called 'Legislation')
What happens is the following:
When a page is rendered (I am using the standard WebFormsViewEngine) the Urls are all rendered using the 'Legislation' area!!?
E.g. http://localhost:1337/Legislation/Home or http://localhost:1337/Legislation/Home/About
and finally http://localhost:1337/Legislation/Regulation
The first two links should not pick up the 'Legislation' area. The last menu item should be in the 'Compliance' area.
How do I prevent the erroneous Area (Legislation) being rendered on the first two links?
How do I get the MenuBuilder markup in the Site.Master to accept an 'area' attribute or get it picked up automatically from the Controller for each link?
I used ModalPopup Control on this link, [URL]How should I write the code that to close pop up by click the area outside the pop up panel?I use AjaxControlToolkit-Framework3.5SP1
Has any one ever downloaded and made use of the mvcContrib template gallery for asp.net mvc. I cant find where to download the templates from and there is no documentation for how to use it?
I am using MVCcontrib grid in my application. Everything works fine on my dev machine. When I publish it to the server and navigate to the page that renders the grid I am getting this error Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. and the source of the error is shown as <%= Html.Grid(Model).Columns(column => {i have added

to the web.config but still get the error
I have been chasing this erorr all day and coming up blank. I created a stored proceudre(fairly complicated logic), added it to the context, and set the return type to a specific entity type.
I call it from my service with the following method:
public ISingleResult<ServiceTemplate> GetByFkId(int FkId) { return Db.usp_ServiceTemplateSelectByFkId(FkId); }
I have tested the stored procedure and it returns the results I want. When I make the service call from the controller, it doesn't error out, however, it should return 4 records in this instance and instead, it returns the same 4 records (repeating the first record 4 times). .........
I'm trying to get my route tests going using MvcContrib.TestHelper and MsUnit. This is what I got: (Pretty much straight out of MVC 2 in Action, Chapter 26, Testing Practices. Just I *have* to use msUnit, while the book use nUnit)
[Code]....
However I get an error saying : MvcContribTestHelperSandbox.Tests.Controllers.RouteTests.Setup has wrong signature. The method should be marked .. [rest is just cut off...not nice!) When I tried runnig it without the setup, I get some error complaining about a wrong version of Rhino Mocks, which I'm not even using! (Intend to add a reference to Moq.dll when I need to do mocking)
In My project i want to use the mvccontrib [URL] to auto generate grid by passing the DataTable to the Grid. Currently Grid does not support this. Grid takes IEnumerable(Of T) and auto generate columns. Is their any way i can achieve this by passing DataTable. Or How do i convert the DataTable to IEnumerable(Of T). My DataTable is completely Dynamic i don't know number of columns or names of the columns at design time. DataTable completely dynamic number of columns are not fixed it just any DataTable. In Short i want to convert Dynamic DataTable to IEnumerable(Of T). Or Is their any better way.
1) One way i tried is using .net 4.0 Dynamic, DynamicObject and ExpandoObject I created a dynamic class as shown here [URL]. I trid passing IEnumerable(Of SampleDynamicObject) but BuildColumns() method is not able to find out the proprieties dynamically added on to it.
2) I think Second way to modify the AutoGenerateColumns() method to work with DataTable, But it looks impossible as Grid Get initialize using IEnumerable(Of T) and all the call on grid for method is using IEnumerable(Of T). So it's come down to converting DataTable to IEnumerable(Of T) and my DataTable are dynamic i don't know their structure at design time So i can't write any specific class to create a object and convert DataTable to IEnumerable(Of T).
I'm attempting to write a unit tests for an ASP.NET MVC 2 post action that takes a view model as its sole parameter. The view model is decorated with validation attributes such as [Required]. I'd like to test two scenarios. The first scenario is when a valid set of data is passed in (ie, all required properties have values) and a redirect to the list page is returned. The second scenario involves passing in invalid data (eg, when one or more of the Required properties are not set). In this case the same view is returned with error messages.The action signature is as follows:
[HttpPost] public virtual ActionResult Create(NewsViewModel model)
The NewsViewModel class is as follows:
public class NewsViewModel { public Guid Id { get; set; }
I have been chasing this erorr all day and coming up blank. I created a stored proceudre(fairly complicated logic), added it to the context, and set the return type to a specific entity type.
It generated this:
[Function(Name="dbo.usp_ServiceTemplateSelectByFkID")] public ISingleResult<ServiceTemplate> usp_ServiceTemplateSelectByFkID([Parameter(Name="FkId", DbType="Int")] System.Nullable<int> FkId) { IExecuteResult result = this.ExecuteMethodCall(this, ((MethodInfo)(MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod())), FkId); return ((ISingleResult<ServiceTemplate>)(result.ReturnValue)); }
I call it from my service with the following method:
public ISingleResult<ServiceTemplate> GetByFkId(int FkId) { return Db.usp_ServiceTemplateSelectByFkId(FkId); }
I have tested the stored procedure and it returns the results I want. When I make the service call from the controller, it doesn't error out, however, it should return 4 records in this instance and instead, it returns the same 4 records (repeating the first record 4 times).
In addition, in my controller code, I am using the MVCContrib ToPagedList() method which doesn't appear to work with the ISingleResult interface (forward only cursor, I'm guessing). I have attempted converting the service results to IQuery, List, and Array, however, I still have the problem with the first record being repeated 4 times.
In my Asp.net MVC app, I have two methods on a controller, one for when the user first arrives on the view and then one when they submit the form on said view.
public ActionResult Foo() {} [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult Foo(string id, Account accountToFoo) {}
In the second action, there's a custom model binder that's assembling the account object that I'm acting on, though that's really not important. This all works fine in testing locally on a server.We try to be pretty good about writing unit tests to test all our different views are properly getting routed to, including those that are HTTP POST. To do so, we've been using mvccontrib's test helper.
My question is in testing POST routes, how do I write the lambda that I would use to verify the post is receiving accurate values, similar to the GET test above?
It's the something_something portion of my lambda that I'm having trouble with. Using arbitrary values doesn't work ("a => a.Foo(0, new Account()"). How would I specify the expected values as part of the test?EDIT I was hoping there was something akin to the way Moq has lambdas for statements such as foo.Setup(s => s.Foo(It.IsAny(), It.Is(i => i > 32)) and so on. Even I have to explicitly supply the values, that's workable--I just can't seem to grok the desired structure to pass those explicit values.
I got the Rescue attribute working. It properly serves up the DefaultError view when there is an unhandled exception.
However, these exceptions will not get logged or emailed. This SO question is answered by Atif Aziz and it looks pretty solid, but it applies to the built-in HandleErrorAttribute, which Rescue replaces, right? How do I get that to work with Rescue? I want to make sure that if an unhandled exception arises, that the user gets served up the view specified with the Rescue attribute, but the exception is still properly logged, and viewable with elmah.axd.
Update:
var currentContext = HttpContext.Current; Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromContext(currentContext).Raise(ViewData.Model.Exception, currentContext);
I added the above to my view and it properly logs and emails errors now. However, it doesn't seem like doing this in the view is the right thing.
I'm pretty new to ASP.Net / MVC 2. Can anyone explain how to use the Html.ActionLink thing? I understand that the first parameter is the displayed text, but for the second one, what is the action name?
My routes work in the Global.asax, but I created an Area called Dashboard and while it works with the default route, it doesn't when I implement the T4MVC route.
Here's my Dashboard Area Registration class:
[Code]....
If I view this in a browser with the above settings, any Html.ActionLinks render as empty strings, no routing at all.Here's the rendered HTML from the route.
I've an Admin area and I want only Admins to enter the area. I considered adding the Authorized attribute to every controller in the Admin area. Isn't there an elegant solution or is this feature not there in the framework itself?
EDIT:
I should to have mentioned this before. I'm using a custom AuthorizedAttribute derived from AuthorizeAttribute.
I have an ActionLink: <%: Html.ActionLink("MyAction", "MyAction") %> I would like to use a button instead. Something like this: <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="MyAction" /> What do I need to do to make clicking the button perform the same action as clicking the ActionLink?
I have a number of permissions, and based on a set of conditions these permission determine if a user can see certain features. I have written a helper function for this as the logic in the view became quite extensive.
Essentially I'm looking for a function the same as Html.ActionLink that I can access from a class file (Ideally if I can access the Helper that would be great) So I can do somthing like so,
public static string GetAdminLinks() { if(PermCheck) { return(Html.ActionLink(...)); } }
