C# - How To Use A ShortDate String Format With Html.TextBoxFor
Sep 21, 2010
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 field (varchar) field that holds date. Some data was transferred to this column but the transferred data was a timestamp (datetime in the format of say 10/26/2009 4:54:13 AM). Now, I need to modify the new table to only contain 10/26/2009. How can I write a statement to delete the time leavin gonly 10/26/2009? I can use trim function but the # of characters vary as the date might be 1/10/2010 12:50:00 PM, etc?
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 have a comment form inside the blog posts. in the form, if the user is authenticated, I will assign the values of the user into textboxes. that part is as follows;
[Code]....
But when I add HTML.TextBox instead of HTML.TextBoxFor, I am not getting validation if the user erase the fileds. Also, this form is inside the indext page and it is related to another action as follows;
[Code]....
so I cannot assign ModelState.AddModelError from controller.
The model has a required attribute for the first name property:but I would like to make this happen automatically if the property has the CustomRequiredAttribute. Is there a way to override the Html.TextBoxFor() and check for the attribute on the given property? Or is there another way to accomplish this behaviour?
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 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?
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:
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?
I'm bulding document-from-template engine. At certain points I need to match on Reg Exp groups and replace template text with content from a db.
I 'hardcoded' my RegExp initially, doing something like: Regex r = new Regex(@"{DocSectionToggle::(?<ColumnName>w+)::(?<ResponseValue>.+)}[[(?<SectionContent>.+)]]", RegexOptions.Multiline);
it does group capture, so the syntax isn't the prettiest.
Just to make things neater and because I want' to keep the patterns in web.config or elsewhere, I've 'evolved' algorithm to something like:
[code]...
But I'm getting an error: 'Input string was not in correct format'.
I'm concatenating a string in codebehind to use in a sql select statement.
in aspx
<asp:Label ID="LabelHidden" runat="server" Visible="False"></asp:Label> SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Data] WHERE [ActivityName] IN (@ActivityName) AND ([ID] = @ID)" <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownList_Employees" Name="ID" PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="Int32" /> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="LabelHidden" Name="ActivityName" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters> in codebehind foreach (ListItem li in ListBox_Activities.Items) { if (li.Selected) { queryBuilder += li + "', "; } queryBuilder = queryBuilder.Substring(0, queryBuilder.Length - 1); LabelHidden.Text = queryBuilder;
When i run the code it comes up blank. I did a query trace and it seems to be running as
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT * FROM [Data] WHERE [ActivityName] IN (@ActivityName) AND ([ID] = @ID)',N'@EmployeeID int,@ActivityName nvarchar(50)',@EmployeeID=4,@ActivityName=N'Production Technical Support'', Tools Development'','
with exta "'s
How can i format the queryBuilder string correctly in my code?
