I've been trying to format the date in a view form in a textboxfor and it seems everything I try doesn't seem to work. I found this great partialview example but it doesn't work when applied to EditorFor. Again works great when using the DisplayFor HTML helper method but still spits out the time at the end when trying to format for a textbox.
I need a text box which should be exactly of 7 charecters,for which I have written
Html.TextboxFor(x=>x.Number, new {maxLength = "7"};
this case takes me only 7 characters , but if I want to take less than 7, it is taking? Is there any property like maxlength which takes 7 charecters only.
not sure if this is by design or i'm missing a setting. I'm passing a ViewModel to a view. It has a customer record. on the edit section i have Html.TextBoxFor(m=> m.Customer.Name)
not all the fields are in the form. When i post, the model only retains the fields i have boxes for? how can i retain the state of the model?
I want to build my own querystring to go to another page. I do not want to submit the form.How can i get the value from a Html.Textbox in the view to use in my querystring?I want to do something like this:
Does any one know how to disable a Html.TextBoxFor HtmlHelper from showing an error via class="input-validation-error", I would like the handle error only via Html.ValidateFor not from the TextBoxFor.
I run over Items collection and want to build TextBox but I get the following error:
'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<Web.Module>' does not contain a definition for 'TextBoxFor' and the best extension method overload 'System.Web.Mvc.Html.InputExtenstions.TextBoxFor<TModel,TProperty> System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<TModel>,System.Linq.Expressions.Expression<System.Func<TModel, TProperty>>)' has some invalid arguments I think my anonymous function is wrong, but why?
I'm having a problem understanding how to use TextBoxFor with a DateTime field (in particular how to add htmlAttributes). MVC has helpfully scaffolded the following for me:
[Code]....
I now want to add an htmlAttribute to this, to make the rendered <input> element read-only, for example: new {@readonly="true"} The problem I have, is that the MSDN documentation for TextBoxFor (see [URL] says only allows two arguments are allowed, the LINQ expression, and a dictionary or object containing the htmlAttributes. So I have two questions:
1. What is the role of "String.Format("{0:g}", Model.LastPolled)" in the scaffolded version? This obviously works, but doesn't seem to be an htmlAttribute.
2. How should I modify the scaffolded version so that the readonly attribute will be used?
I tried this but for @class and size doesn't work.I want to reduce the size of the textbox but when I specify the width in the css class or use size=25 doesn't change the size.
I want to get the value of a inputText createdBy Html.TextBoxFor via Javascript. But no matter how much I type in it, the input does not get a value and thus the javascript generates an error. Can I do this, if so how?
Using Entity Framework with MVC2, I have a series of date textboxes, that I want to display data from the model in a short date format, but I have to use Html.TextBoxFor in order for the update code to work (Having tried using HTML.Textbox the data never gets saved to the model).
I've tried manipulating the string format expression, and have added metadata to a partial class mapped to the Entity Framework model class, however still I get the following populating my textboxes at form render:
I have a test app with a form view.I cannot get the view to display correctly instead of displaying a series to text boxes it displays quoted html.I suspect that my problem is related to my VB syntax for my Linq The C# equivilant works but my shop uses VB so I must convert the code.Here is the code from the view:
So i'm working on the form that i started MVC with - the problem is that i'm NOT using a ViewModel for the view, its an actual Linq to SQL object. And so far it works fine. This form is a beast and id rather not refactor it to use viewmodels....
My big problem now is that depending some condition, i pretty much set almost everything to disabled when a particular dropdown is selcted (to mimic a deactivated state) - when the user hits submit, the model fields are now null, even tho you can see them filled in (just greyed out and unselectable) and validation refuses them.
Is there anyway around this other than to refactor the Views to use ViewModels (and set different validation rules so submit works)?
am using the Html helper for textbox in my partial view and use it in my View. I got 2 textbox for the date attribute of my Model (storagedate and expired date), I wish to display a textbox with default value as Today's date if the date of that Model in DB is null, how can i do that???Here is the code for my partial view:
I have a strange problem in my application.whenever i select a suggestion from the autocomplete(jquery) textbox, it first fires a blur event of a textbox first.(When i click the suggestion using mouse). But i want to fire blur event later.What should i do?
