View 3 RepliesIs there a way to have a calculated column (field) in a webGrid in webMatrix?
View 4 RepliesI've been practicing with WebMatrix and I've come across this problem. I'd like to use the format property of the WebGrid Column in vbhtml but I can't get it to work. I always get some kind of compilation error. Mostly the compiler says that an expression is needed. There must be a crucial difference between the way it's done in cshtml and the way it's done in vbhtml.
View 9 Repliesright now I playing around with WebMatrix and I followed the tutorial from http://www.asp.net/WebMatrix. Chapter 6 (displaying data in a grid) described how to use a WebGrid helper very clear, but the data in the example is always retrieved from an SQL DB.I want to use the same XML file from chapter 7 (Displaying data in a chart).Using the code:
...
var DataSet = new DataSet();
dataSet.ReadXmlSchema(Server.MapPath("/App_Data/QCFiler.xsd"));
[code]...
In the example code, you show how to use the rowId in a hyperlink to a detail page like this:

How do you do this with a WebGrid helper?
My webGrid is working perfectly fine. However, I would like the default sort order to be in the opposite direction. If it were SQL, I'd be adding a DESC somewhere. Here's my working line of code:
[Code]....
It correctly sorts on the UWDate column, but I would like it to sort the opposite sort order. Of course, once it is displayed, you can click on the title and it will resort at that time.
I want to show custom message when no data is present to display in WebGrid.

I have a Car class that I'm trying to display in an MVC 3 view using the WebGrid helper. Below are the Car and it's metadata class.
Car class:
[MetadataType(typeof(CarMetadata))]
public partial class Car
{
// car implementation
}
Car metadata class:
public class CarMetadata
{
[DisplayName("Car Name")]
[StringLength(100, ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(ValidationText), ErrorMessageResourceName="CarNameDescriptionLength")]
[Required]
public string CarName { get; set; }
}
View contents:
@model List<Car>
...
var grid = new WebGrid(Model, canPage: true, rowsPerPage: 10);
grid.Pager(WebGridPagerModes.NextPrevious);
@grid.GetHtml(
htmlAttributes: new { id = "grid" },
columns: grid.Columns(
grid.Column("CarName", ?????)
));
GOAL: I'd like to figure out how to use the DisplayName data annotation as the column header text in the WebGrid (?????). Does anyone know how this is accomplished?
How about adding a helper that will create a simple HTML editor, like the one I am using to write this post? That would be completely awesome, and would just about make this good little tool a GREAT tool.
View 4 RepliesScenario: If you create a table with a column of type nvarchar, populate it with some content and try to modify it using the WebMatrix editor, from nvarchar to ntext, it does not display any error message or warning that this is not possible. It silently saves and reverts the change, back to nvarchar. Wasted some hours on this issue as I thought my column was ntext, but in fact was still nvarchar.
Expected behavior: It should change to ntext, or if SQL CE doesn't support that, it should notify the user that no change was applied.
I have been following various guides online and they seem to be great and i learning a great deal and i have my learning set out however i have come across a stumbling block "yet again"
I was following Mikes SQLce image upload guide and I got it, I understood it all "in theory"
[URL]
however what i couldn't figure out is when i want to display that image on a separate page or pull it back into a webgrid it just showed me SystemByte[] and not the image. Or a long string of writing that started -System........
I tried stripping Mikes code thinking well he is pulling the Image from the DB once the postback is done so why cant I do it on another page or in another <Div>. ?
If im not mistake it has somthing to do with this line
Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])file.FileContent);
Here is mmikes code:

I've found a Webmatrix help article that says MS Webmatrix "publishes the (SQL Server or MySQL) database by creating scripts that run in a database that has been created for you by your hosting provider." That is wonderful, except I can't get it to work when I'm trying to publish a MySQL database (backing wordpress) through FTP (my hosting provider does not support 'web deploy'). Again, no problem, since it is already documented that " FTP protocols cannot be used to publish MySQL database. " But this does not excuse Webmatrix from generating MySQL database install scripts for me. During the publishing step, no database install script is generated - at least that I can tell - and there is no manual option to create a database export / backup / install script.
In short, as Webmatrix goes, I'm dead in the water trying to get my database uploaded to my hosting provider. Does anyone know the trick to force Webmatrix to create the MySQL database install scripts on my local box? Once created, I can take-over the upload and install process.
I'm wondering if it is possible to include Microsoft.Data.Entity.CTP.dll reference to WebMatrix site and if the Compact edition of the database would support it? I'd kinda love use something like
code-first development in my WebMatrix project. I think is even easier than writing SQL-s into the code...
Just wondering if anyone has ever managed to find a way to have a datagridview image button column in a template field which display different images on different rows depending on some data element in the row. Our application needs to display a series of fees charged against an account column which will be either less then 500, 500 to 1000 or >1000. Some of those fees are charged at a full rate, others at a partial rate, and some are not charged at all. The user would like to see a simple 3-state graphic which would convey the simple info: full-charge, partial-charge, or no-charge. Sounds easy enough but I've not yet managed to find a way to do this. Every time I attempt to modify the individual cell's graphic it seems to want to change the graphic for all the rows.

I struggle with publishing 2 databases from WebMatrix using WebDeploy. On Publish settings screen I specify 2 different connection strings, but on Publish Compatibility screen Database names in both destination connection strings are equal. When I return to settings screen, original value is replaced there as well.
How destination server connection strings are evaluated? Here are connection strings from the root web.config file, which are set by hidden parameters in my parameters.xml:
<connectionStrings>
<add connectionString="Server=(local);Database=xxx;Uid=xxx;Pwd=xxx" name="xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add connectionString="Server=(local);Database=xxx2;Uid=xxx;Pwd=xxx" name="xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
