C# - MVC Dropdown List Isn't Binding To The Model?
Apr 29, 2010
I am trying set up a simple dropdown list but I dont seem to be able to get it to bind to the Model. I am using Asp.Net MVC and nhibernate.
My dropdown list is declared like so:
<%= Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Project, (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewData["Projects"], " -- Select -- ", new { name = "Project" })%>
I set up the select list like so:
ViewData["Projects"] = new SelectList(projectRepository.GetAll(), "EntityGUID", "Name", editEntity.Project);
This seems to bind the select list to the Dropdown fine, but the SelectedValue is not set.
it shows up as the default --- Select ---
Also when I save this data, the dropdown does not bind to the model, I have to manually set the object like so to save it:
entity.Project = projectRepository.GetById(new Guid(Request["Project"].ToString()));
I believe I have take the correct messures to have this item bind directly to my model. Is there something I am missing here?

I am trying to create a cascading dropdown list using two dropdown lists in Visual Studio 2008 Professional connecting to a SQL Server 2008 Standard database on my local machine. I have added the two dropdown lists, as well as a CascadingDropDown extenders from the AJAX Control Toolkit that corresponds with the first dropdown list. The problem I am running into is that despite the fact that I have a CascadingDropDown extender for the first dropdown list so far, and the extender is configured properly, the first dropdown list is showing Unbound in Design view. I also don't see a TargetControlID entry in the properties window for the externder.
I hard coded the TargetControlID to the extender in the Source view and, although I am not receiving any dynamic errors from the TargetControlID entry (meaning, the TargetControlID is a valid parameter, and the dropdown list I entered for that parameter exists on the same page), the dropdown list doesn't populate properly and when in Design view, not only do I not see an entry for the CascadingDropDown extender, but the target dropdown list shows as being "Unbound."
A couple of things I want to point out first:
1) I am using Master pages on this site for the header, footer and navigation. The opening and closing <form> tags, as well as the <ScriptManager> entry are in the Master page, not the content pages. I did this with the assumption that at runtime, each page would have the proper <form> tags and <ScriptManager> entry to function properly.
2) I have been able to add a CascadingDropDown extender to a page in Design view (and it initially displays properly), but by the time I have added all of the properties settings to apply it to its corresponding dropdown list, the entry appears normal in Source view but no longer appears in Design view. When I run the page, the dropdown list does not populate. Obviously, I assume that this is related to the dropdown list showing in Design view as being Unbound, but I don't know how to get the dropdown list to recognize that I have a CascadingDropDown extender that is supposed to apply to it.
Here is what the two elements look like in Source view:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCompany" runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList>
<ajaxToolkit:CascadingDropDown ID="cddCompanies" runat="server" TargetControlID="ddlCompany" Category="Company" PromptText="Select a Company" LoadingText="Please Wait..." ServicePath="~/CompaniesService.asmx" ServiceMethod="GetCompanies">
</ajaxToolkit:CascadingDropDown>
To create these, I have been following Joe Stagner's example in his video on the topic (http://www.asp.net/ajax/videos/use-aspnet-ajax-cascading-drop-down-control-to-access-a-database) virtually word for word. I have set up two TableAdapters/DataSets, one for each dropdown list, and the datasets are able to accurately pull the appropriate data from the database, so I know those are working properly. I believe the problem is that the dropdown list isn't binding with the CascadingDropDown extender properly. It wouldn't bother me that I don't see a TargetControlID entry in the properies window for the CascadingDropDown extender, although I have a feeling that the absense of that property is related to the fact that the dropdown list is not binding to the extender. I searched online for causes to this problem, but I wasn't able to find any solutions.

I am stuck at this point "Displaying a dropdown list of Categories with a --None -- Option. I want the gridview control to display 2 dropdown list one in read-only mode and the other in edit mode. When a record is in read-only mode, the dropdownlist's enabled property will be set to false."When it's on a read-only mode, it doesn't display the selected Category. it shows but the "No Category". When i click on edit to edit or change category, it doesn't display the selected category.
The example is given below( I am reading the book Sams Teach yourself ASP.NET 2.0 by Scott Mitchell. page 628)

I have 2 drop down lists.I have a very simple dropdown list #1 that diplays a title and holds an id value which is a GUID.I know it is getting this value and sending this value as I tested sending it to a label.I have the dropdown list #1 to autopostback to dropdown list #2 that "Is supposed to get" another title and value based on the GUID value of the first dropdown list. for some reason it wont return anything. I have done 100's of these but never based off a guid value.I assume the value needs to be converted to guid before selecting it in the second dropdown list.How can I do this? or is there something I am missing?

I have a requirement in my application that, while saving the application, need to get all the value from drop down list and pass it to the view model. But application should not allow the user to select more than one item from drop down list manually, ie, only one value at a time. My view model is like ...
public class ListManagement
{
public IEnumerable<selectListItem> InactiveProduct { get; set; }
public string[] InactiveProductSelected { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<selectListItem> ActiveProduct { get; set; }
}

This seems like the model binding is causing me issues.Essentially I have a model called ProductOption and for the purpose of this question it has 2 fields
ID (Int) PK
ProductID (Int) FK
I have a standard route set-up
context.MapRoute(
"Product_default",
"Product/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
[code]...
This is used to determine (on submit) if we are editing or adding a new option. However the Model binder in .net seems to replace .ID (Which was 0 when leaving the above get actionresult) with 1 (or the value of the id parameter in the URL)How can I stop or work around this?
ViewModel
public class ProductExtraModel
{
//Database
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int ProductID { get; set; }
public ProductModel Product { get; set; }
}

Have been able to get a really strange behavior in mvc 3 rc 2, where an controller action (a) in an area has a nullable enum and long as parameter and an controller action (b) (which is not placed in an area) only have nullable long.
If I compile and first surf to (a) then it works, and then surf to (b) with a number as parameter it throws exception where it seem to have tried to pass the nullable enum!
If I recompile and surf to (b) with same parameter it works, and if I surf to (a) the enum is always null.
Edit: perhaps this is a model binding bug, perhaps caused by some internal cache? Since the routes are correct but the passed arguments are not.

I have just upgraded to MVC 2.0 and I have noticed a difference in the model binding when posting a form back to an action. In MVC 1.0 if I had a posted a blank form back to my action and then looked at the populated model class my empty string values would show as empty strings, in MVC 2.0 doing the same thing and then looking at my model class shows my empty string values as null, why has this changed?

I've got a very complex form and i'm using the MVC model binding to capture all the information
I've got it set up to capture all the different submissions that can happen as there are about 10 different submit buttons on the form, and there are also 2 image buttons
I tried to get a bit clever (or so i thought) with capturing the image button submissions, and have created a child class so that i can capture the x value that's returned
[code]....
The html for the image button then looks like
<input type="image" id="ViewDataObject_ImageButton" name="ViewDataObject.ImageButton" />
This works fine in all browsers except for Chrome.
When i debug it in chrome, the Request.Form object contains the values that i would expect, but after the model binding has occurred, the ImageButton property on the ViewDataObject has been set to null
The only difference that i can see between the submission values is that Chrome passes the x as lower case (ViewDataObject.ImageButton.x) and IE passes it as upper case (ViewDataObject.ImageButton.X) but i didn't think that model binding took any notice of casing on property names.

I'm having problems retrieving the values of a selectlist in my form collection. I've tried making a viewmodel with an attribute with the same name as the select list.
I'm honestly just realizing I REALLY don't understand how model binding works with selectlists. I've just been assuming that the following conventions apply:
Name the select list the same thing as the attribute on the model you want it to bind to. Apart from that, I really don't get it. I've looked at several books on it and they're useless frankly. How does a select list work with a) form collection and b) a particular model?

I have a textbox that I am defining as
<%= Html.TextBox("Username", Model.Form.Username,
new { @class = "textbox", @disabled = "disabled" })%>
In my action
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult EditLogin(LoginForm post) {
return View(model);
}
post.Username will be blank, all other properties bind correctly, but if I change @disabled="disabled to @readonly="readonly" the username binds properly and everything works. It looks like model binding ignores values in disabled fields. Is their a way around this? I still need the field's value to bind to the model. I can use readonly but would prefer to use disabled so it is visually apparent to the user that they cannot edit the value of the field.
