Rendering A Spark View To A String?
Nov 29, 2010
I'm trying to render a partial view as a string so it can be returned as HTML to a jquery ajax call. After a lot of searching I found this code.
public string RenderAsString(string viewName, string modelName, object model)
{
// Set up your spark engine goodness.
var settings = new SparkSettings().SetPageBaseType(typeof(SparkView));
var templates = new FileSystemViewFolder(Server.MapPath("~/Views"));
var engine = new SparkViewEngine(settings) { ViewFolder = templates };.......

I was going through the spark view engine documentation and found a lot of literals showing up in code for which I couldn't find any references. For e.g. ! , #, $ , !$ , ... What are these for? What do the combinations mean? When do they come into use? Am I missing any more literals that precede or comes after {

How do you modify a ASP.NET MVC 2.0 project to work with the Spark View Engine?
I tried like described here:

But somehow it still tries to route to .aspx files.
Here the code of my global.asax:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)

I try to use HtmlHelper.TextBoxFor with spark view engine but view crashed with exception "Dynamic view compilation failed. 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'TextBoxFor' and no extension method 'TextBoxFor' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' could be found(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)".
It is my _global.spark:
<use namespace="System"/>
<use namespace="System.Linq"/>
<use namespace="System.Text" />
<use namespace="System.Web.Mvc"/>
<use namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html"/>
<use namespace="System.Web.Routing"/>
<use namespace="System.Linq.Expressions" />
<use namespace="MyModels" />
In spark-view using:
${Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName)}

I'm currently using ASP.NET MVC 2 and the spark view engine. The main master page (application.spark) contains all of the CSS link tags that need to be present for all pages (global stuff). However, I have some content pages that have page specific CSS tags and currently I'm just sticking the link tag in the body as something like:
<content name="MainContent">
<!-- page specific csss -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/Content/css/page_specific.css" />
My problem is that when the page renders, this tag ends up in the which is not where it needs to be. Is there a solution for this?
I had was to check the controller in the Application.spark page and write out which page specific css file is required for that particular controller, however, that solution doesn't seem to scale well and I would imagine there is some way of creating the link in the child page and having it render where it's supposed to by the browser.

I have a web form in SPARK which allow the editing of a Facility class that contains Rooms. When editing the Facility all the Rooms are listed for editing too. The form works fine for editing, but I would like to include a button "Add Room" that adds a new blank room below the existing ones.
Currently I am doing this in my SPARK page:
[code]....
AddFacilityRoom contains the html elements for editing a room.
I would like add.mvc to create a new empty Room class and inject a new identical (but empty) control below the existing ones. Currently, though it opens a new page when the "Add a Room" button is clicked.

I have the following code in my post action method for Edit.
JobCardService.Update(viewData.JobCard);
var js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
ViewData["Notifications"] = js.Serialize(new {NoteificationType = "Success", Message = "The installtion was successfully updated"});
return RedirectToAction("Index");
However, on the client, ViewData is null/empty, i.e. this client code
var notifications = eval("<%= ViewData["Notifications"]%>");
renders as
var notifications = eval("");
I'm sure I'm doing something small wrong.

I am trying to render a partial view and i can not get it to work. Probably i am missing something trivial, because what i am trying to do is really simple.
I have two controllers: NewsController and CommentController. In the "Details" view of the NewsController i'd like to render the partial view "List" of CommentController. So in Details.aspx i have this line:[Code]....
However, this line throws an excpetion:
"The controller for path '/News/Details/e4243192-55ea-4cfb-b8d3-9714cca4ff08' was not found or does not implement IController."

I have a table, there is a column for "edit links" - i'd like to render a partial view under the table via JQuery - but i think i'm missing a step:
Heres the html:[Code]....
I hardcode the link and make it call the "editCloset" js function, hopefully thatll call my Controller, thatll build the ViewModel, and return the View that uses it - so it can be rendered in the PartialView contained in div id="Slots"Right now - im not able to get into the controller, so i missing something i think Heres the controller:
[Code]....
And heres the partial view "_ManageSlots"

Just to get it work, I got a controller action that make use of a switch statement to decide which partial view to render, based on one of the members of the model passed in. (Written by someone else for what it matter...I'm just cleaning up)
The viewmodel is overcomplicated, but that's not my decision right now and just have to live with it.
All partial's get rendered passing the same viewmodel, just a different partial get called.

What is the best way to build a progress page? In short, I want a user to complete a series of "setup steps" and hit a "Start" button. I would like them to be immediately redirected to a "Progress" page that will show them the progress of each step. In my case these would be: Shutdown device, copy file, Start device.
My approach so far is to build a Progress View page and use partial views. Here is what I have so far. I would like the Progress page to show up right away even if the ShutdownStatus View has not finished rendering. At some point, I plan on including a progress bar but right now I'm just curious as to how I can show the Progress page immediately then show each partial View as it completes.

I am quite new to MVC and am gradually overcoming all my 'but WebForms can do that' issues but I still have one. I wish to have components which I can deploy into an Area in order to keep things nice and tidy. This area will have a bunch of re-usable partial views like this. MyArea/Views/Shared/MyAreaControl.ascx I can render this MyAreaControl partial view fine in other Views inside that area but it fails when I try to render it from a not inside the area (e.g. view in the root of the site). I am essentially using this syntax
<% Html.RenderPartial("MyAreaControl", new { area = "MyArea" }); %>
which seems to only look for this partial view inside the root Views folder, not the area one despite me specifying the area. Is this a restriction of the system, a bug - or am I just doing it wrong. ADDENDUM: Turns out it appears to be an assembly issue. My controller is found in a separate assembly from my MVC Application. Doing a bit of fiddling with moving my control inside and outside of the area and the separate dll I came to the following confusion:
- If partial view is in its own area and the controller is part of the MVC application dll - I can render it from my home view
- If partial view is not in its own area and the controller is part of an external dll I can render it from my home view
- If partial view is not in its own area and the controller is part of the MVC application dll - I can render it from my home view
- If partial view is in its own area and the controller is part of an external dll I CANNOT render it from my home view
The controller for path '/' was not found or does not implement IController.

I have the following markup in a 'content' page. Without the Render call, nothing renders, and with the Render call, the grid renders as the first element in the whole page, not inside the 'content' section defined by my view:
@using Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI
@model Outdoor.Mvc.ViewModels.OutdoorSite.SiteList
@{
Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.ItemList).Name("Site Grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(o => o.SiteId);
columns.Bound(o => o.Name);
})
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Render();
}

I am building a command line application and I need to transform data within my application's classes to text.
It would make my life easy if I could use ASPX files to render my data into the target text format.
To achieve that, I need to be able to render an aspx file outside IIS. The following article explains how:
[URL]
The article is developed in 2003.
Is there any better way to so achieve similar result in .NET 4.0? Does MVC make this easier? Is this very memory/performance intensive? I have to create a new ApplicationHost anytime my command line application is executed. Is this approach reliable enough to be used in an environment with high throughput?

I've just updated my MVC2 project to run MVC3 (RC). Everything is working as expected except for one problem.
I'm running DotNetOpenAuth, but when I go to authenticate, my page renders the string
DotNetOpenAuth.Messaging.OutgoingWebResponseActionResult
instead of authenticating (which worked in the MVC2 app)
I found this question elsewhere on SO, and I did what was suggested, but to no avail.
Here is a clip of my Web.Config

I'm using both spark and .aspx view engines. My partial is in aspx so i'm tring to call from my spark engine.
I've seen something like the following
${Html.RenderPartial("HeaderControl")}
Seems like i'm missing a reference, can't really see what.

I am looking for a way to save index information when iterating through items in a ASP.net MVC 2 using the SPARK view engine. I often have a partial view that iterates through items and a button to add new items.
I want to save the index after displaying the existing items and then pass it back to the same partial view to create and display a new item.
For instance:
<div class="small">Enter the rooms associated with this facility.</div>
<div class="add">
<div id="rooms">
<AddRoom each="var roomModel in Model.FacilityRooms" RoomModel="roomModel" Index="roomModelIndex" />
</div>
<div class="add">
<a id="addRoom" class="add" href="events/room/add.mvc">Add a room</a>
</div>
</div>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
I would like to save the Index from the AddRoom loop and use it for the "Add a room" button which calls the AddRoom view again with a blank room object.
