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 1 RepliesI went through the documentation and looked at the asp.net/webmatrix pages but could not find a RichTextEditor.
Is there one built into WebMatrix or can I just use the AjaxToolkit Html Editor or another 3rd party editor?
I am trying to create 2 Html helpers but that use the String Type as in MVC 2.
1. Html.FileFor Would render something like: <input type="file"
2. Html.Buttom and Html.Submit that would render <input type="button" or <input type="submit" In this case I suppose it makes no sense to have the For.
I know how to do (2) unless there would be something more than rendering the help and defining the Html attributes. However (1) I don't know how to do it
I was wondering if it is possible to create a custom strongly typed HTML Helper in ASP.NET MVC 2? Creating a regular (read not-strongly-typed) helper is straightforward but i am having difficulty creating strongly typed versions. For example, I would like to create a DatePickerFor html helper...
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if there was an easy way to change the output generation properties of the HTML editor.
I need to change it from the current XHTML standard (spans, etc) to legacy styles; <b>, <u>, <i>, etc.
Rather than try to reinvent the wheel, how to create a stacked/segmented bar or point me to an existing control. Here's what I need:
Horizontal bar
Standard html
Each segment needs to be color coded from css
Each segment needs to be a percentage of the total (i.e. if total value = 100, then a value of 10 for one of the segments would be smaller than a value of 50)
Should be able to fit seamlessly into an html table cell
Should not be an image
Should only create a single bar with segments (not multiple bars/segmented bars)
Server-side generated, no AJAX
This should be as simple as possible given x number of values, create x segments.
I'm looking for code examples or already-built controls.
EDIT: For completeness:
int[] segments = { 10, 5, 45, 20, 20 };
Panel horizontalBar = new Panel();
for(int segmentIndex = 0; segmentIndex < segments.Length; ++ segmentIndex)
{
horizontalBar.Controls.Add(new Panel() { ID = String.Format("segment-{0}", segmentIndex), Width = Unit.Percentage(segments[segmentIndex]), CssClass = "segment" });
}
this.Page.Form.Controls.Add(horizontalBar);
What if any is the difference between @helper and @functions.They both appear to be used the exact same way, If your file is Named Extensions you use both like so.
[Code]....
Edit Note: Actuall this is a suggestion related to WebPages and FileUpload Helper in Razor. I am not looking for workarounds. Following this tutorial: [URL] Under "Letting Users Upload Multiple Files" section it says : Because allowMoreFilesToBeAdded is set to true, the helper renders a link that lets user add more upload boxes. Now say you click "Add another file" link as shown and then decide not to upload 3rd file, is there a way to remove that third upload control?

Under "Sending a File Using Email" section what exactly is the code trying to do.
1: The SendFile.cshtml does not have any option to select file.
2: ProcessFile.cshtml is running fine. I am getting the email but no attachement.
I tried changing fileAttachment input to type="file" but not file is being sent to my email. I just get the message send in body.
Question: How exactly this file attachment works using Email Helper in WebPages.
i need to create an online html editor to be used in my asp.net application with the basic button of dataformating + adding/inserting images+creating templates
View 4 RepliesI know we can use the HTML helpers, but how about the strongly typed one's?
Html.LabelFor()
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 have an Editor control on my page and the user can go in use it hit save and that all works.
In another part of the page I have a simple dropdown to select a note and view it. When you push view it loads the text which was entered in via the editor control.
If the user used an order or unordered list. The text shows up but not the list part.
So if they did this:
Example
ThisAnd this
What is displaying is
Example
This
And This
Without the bullets. Same for the numbers.
I have it going to a literal control which should render the html, but it doesn't.
i need to create a html editor for use to every page to update the web page content. By right, the html editor only can seen by administrator. So , i should create a custom web part/user control to update different table of database or create a custom editor zone better? how can we do it just like the share point html editor web part?
View 3 RepliesI think I need to drop in some escape characters, but I'm not quite sure where. Here is the javascript function I'm attempting to call:
function setData(associateValue, reviewDateValue) {
var associate = document.getElementById("Associate");
var reviewDate = document.getElementById("ReviewDate");
associate.value = associateValue;
reviewDate.value = reviewDateValue;
}
Here is the asp .net mvc line where I'm attempting to create a Radio button with a click event that calls the above function and passes data from the model as javascript parameter values.
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('<%=item.Associate%>','<%=item.ReviewDate%>' )" } )%>
The above throws a bunch of compile issues and doesn't work. A call such as the following does call the javascript, but doesn't get the data from the model.
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('item.Associate','item.ReviewDate' )" } )%>
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('item.Associate','item.ReviewDate' )" } )%>
<% String functionCall = String.Format("setData('{0}','{1}')", Html.Encode(item.Associate), Html.Encode(item.ReviewDate )) ; %>
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick=functionCall } )%>
It's a little unclear for me on when to use a custom helper method and when to use RenderAction and also when to simply use ViewData instead. Some of their functions overlap slightly.
For example, if I were to create a Category navigation bar, would I create a new helper method and place that in some partial view? I had initially though of doing this, but I read on some blog to use RenderAction instead.
Assume the list of categories is coming from some data source.
<%= Html.RouteLink(">>>", new { page = (Model.PageIndex + 1) },null)%>
Is it possible to set image instead ">>>" and how?
What is a good and simple wysiwyg text editor to use with asp.net mvc I only need the bold and insert a link functionalities.

View 4 RepliesI was wondering if it's possible to render an Html Helper in a View inside a codeblock. So instead of:
[code]....
And have this render. Of course as it is, it wont render, so is there a way to programically decide if a textbox can be added without having to have a million delimiters in the page to accomplish this?
Can we set an id attribute as I would for something like a table column via: for an html dropdown list element that is created with a helper such as:
<% for (int i = 0; i < Model.Trx.TransactionHolidayCityCollection.Count; i++)
{%>
<%= i > 0 ? "," : "" %>
<%= DropDownData.HolidayDays().ToList().Find(item => item.Value == Model.Trx.TransactionHolidayCityCollection[i].HolidayCityID.Value.ToString()).Text %>
<%} %>
Is there a way to retrieve the client side ID for a model property similar to how the helpers like LabelFor etc generate the ID? For example, I have a model with a DateOfBirth property. I want to hook up that field to a jQuery DatePicker. Normally, I would hook up the date picker like this:
[Code]....
This works fine but hard codes the DateOfBirth property name. Ideally, I would like to use this:
[Code]....
Is this already available out of the box somewhere? I just created an extension method on the HtmlHelper class that does exactly this, but I wondered if there was already something built-in so I don't have to reinvent and test the wheel.
