Primary Key In A Partial View Shared By Create And Edit Views
Jul 13, 2010
I have a partial view (user control) that is shared by my Create and Edit views. When I use it in the Edit view, I have to to include an hidden field (Html.HiddenFor) to prevent a 'Row changed or not found' error in my data service, but when I use it in the Create view, I have to remove the PK hidden field, to prevent an error over trying to insert into an identity column. It is not feasible to not use identity columns in this application, so how can I 'switch' that PK hidden field on or off depending on which action has been invoked?
Post Action Code:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(JobCardViewData viewData)
{
try
{
jobCardService.Update(viewData.JobCard);
Edit View Excerpt:
<% Html.RenderPartial("JobCardInput", Model); %>
Partial Excerpt:
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<Poynting.Installation.Web.ViewData.JobCardViewData>" %>
<% using (Html.BeginForm())
I want a view that contains 2 partialviews. 1 partial view should be a create or edit view (of items) and in the second partial view there should be a list with the items that are created (and which can be edited). When an item in the list is selected for editing the 1st partial view should show the edit view with the item to be edited.
After saving the data, the create view should be shown in the 1st partial view again. When the view comes up for the first time the 1st partialview should contain the create view. In normal ASP.net I would do this with a formview (with insert and edit mode based on the itemselected in the gridview) and a gridview (and of course everything in an AJAX update panel).
i created a "create" view for creating a new record of my used model. The View includes partial views with the editor-fields. But the "Create" submit button doesn't work. When i copy the editor-fields to the create view without using partial views the submit button works. Here is my code: Create.cshtml
I have an MVC view that contains a number of partial views. These partial views are populated using partial requests so the controller for the view itself doesn't pass any data to them. Is it possible to reload the data in one of those partial views if an action was triggered in another? For example, one partial view has a jqGrid and I want to refresh the data in another partial view when a user selects a new row in this grid. Is there a code example for this scenario (in C#) that I can look at to see what am I doing wrong? I am using ajax calls to trigger a new request but non of the partial views are refreshed so I am not sure if the issue is with the routing, the controller,
In my Views folder I have a several folders such as Category, Origin, Price. They all have a Browse.aspx file and the code in this file displays a table of products. All controllers associated with these folders use the same ViewModel, but in each view I have a repetitive code. The code is:
When using the "add view" dialog in vwd is there a common practice for presenting any primary key fields as readonly to the user in the view?
By default it appears the user could change the key field value (as it is presented in a textbox) and overwrite data for that record for which the key was accidentally changed to.
Do we have to store the original record's key and then make the key presented as a label and then on the update subtitute the original key value back in for the record? Or is there something simpler?
I have a Controller set up for a certain View. This View contains 2 partial Views (ascx files). Each partial View has a Controller method that yields its DataModel. The containing View doesn't currently display any data, but just serves as a container for the 2 partial Views.
Here's the problem: The Index action of the containing View runs, but the Controller methods for the partial Views don't, so I get a null exception when the Model tries to render out the data that should be available. I'm using MVC 1.0, which is something of a bummer, since it seems that the next version is supposed to have something other than "RenderPartial" that will assist with this very issue. However, since I'm stuck for the moment with 1.0, can anyone give some advice on getting the Controller methods to run for the partial Views?
I've recently began learning ASP.NET MVC.I created my first project, and added a model via Linq TO SQL. The first model handled a database table that held a list of menu items.I then created a view and the view would loop through all of the menu items returned by the controller and build a custom menu for me.
I then created a Model via Linq TO SQL to point to a table that hold's my site articles.I created a view that would itereate through all of the site articles returned by the controller and list them in the view.
Now I've taken the logic from the menu view and created a partial usercontrol view to build my menu. I've done the same thing with the SiteArticles.
How do I make the data from both of these modles availble in one view?I basically want to HTML.RenderPartial("MenuControl") in my master page and RenderPartial("ArticleControl") in the conent of the view.
I'm using the original view that i created to show articles..
So If i remove the rendering of the menucontrol user control from the master page and i call the view to show the articles, the articles will render because the controller knows to load the articles and return them to the view..
If i add the menu user control to the masterpage, I get an error because the view recieves data from the site article model/controller but not from the menu model/controller.
Using the Razor engine how do I create Partial Views. Do I create a normal View and calling the PartialView() in the controller will only output the body content and when calling View() in the controller will output the full page with layout. If not, do I need to create specific Partial Views and then use RenderPartial in the View.
I'm currently writing a game review site in MVC 2. I'm having some problems both figuring out exactly what to use as my view models and how to display checkboxes in my form for a many-to-many relationship. My main models generated by EF4.
The biggest problem at the moment is trying to figure out how to create checkboxes for a game's platforms. There's a many-to-many relationship between games and platforms - each game can be available on a number of platforms (PS3, XBox 360, etc.), and each platform has a library of games. In my Edit view, I need to list all of the platforms and have the ones the current game is listed for checked. I have the following view model:
[Code]....
So, I need to list all of the view model's Platforms while putting a check mark in the GameData's platforms.
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'm rather liking this MVC3 and Razor way of working and I'm learning the ropes. I was wondering, can I create a partial view and pull it into another view in the following scenario:I have a "Person" model and an "Address" model. The Person contains name, phone number etc and each person has an address. I've created my Person "Create" view and that works fine but I now want to pull in my "Address" partial view to it.
<% Html.RenderPartial("hello", new HelloInput { Name = "Jimmy" } ); %>
I would like to be able to like this:
<%=Html.Hello("Jimmy") %>
So I would like to know how create this helper:
public static string Hello(this HtmlHelper helper, string name) { return the result of rendering partial view "hello" with HelloInput{ Name = name }; }
inside my model metadata, i have a timespan field that would like to display in all Create, Edit and Display views like "hh:mm". For this, is set DisplayFormatAttribute as follows:
[Code]....
When i try to create a new model object, the time field gets displayed as "00:00:00" im my model (00 is the initial values) instead of "00:00". Is there something i am doing wrong? Note that the same approach works for date fileds, where i want to be displayed as "dd/MM/yyyy" (for this is assign "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" to the display format attribute).
I am creating a web application using ASP.Net 3.5 MVC , I have created Edit and Create views, one of the fields is Image URL,How can I upload a image in a web server folder and save the name of image in database (as a part of Edit and Create view)?
Does anyone have a Tabular create and details MVC 2 Template that i can pop into my project and use, instead of the ugly linear templates that come out of the box in MVC?
Are there free MVC view templates anywhere on the internet?
i created a create view for an entity in my database using MVC 2 in VS2010.I noticed that the auto generated code used HTML.TextBoxFor for ALL the columns..this isnt very optimal.Is there a way to get it to use Html.DisplayFor ? I have a bit column that the auto generated code used a textbox for..How can change this using UIHint.
