I have a form which I use to create an issue. WHen you post the form, the form elements are that of a custom DTO. The DTO is then used on my POST method to create the new entity. That all works fine.
However, I want to add the functionality to add multiple issues at the same time from the same view. In effect, the user would click something like 'Report Additional Problem', and an extra set of form fields would appear (I will like use jquery for this, which I don't have an issue with). However, even with just leaving one set of form fields, the user should still be able to create just one issue. But if I habve my post method take a list or array of my DTO, it doesn't work.
Here is the post method before editing:

What I want to do is for this to take an array or list of NewIssueDto. I would then loop through each one in the list and create a new issue from it.
I'm playing around with a asp.net page that's using the IScriptControl interface to pass data from the code-behind to the custom javascript object running on the browser.I'm passing a number of properties via IScriptControl.GetScriptDescriptors(), and they're all working fine, except for one.That one is a class derived from System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<>. And even that one has been working for me, so long as the elements in the collection were scalars - ints, doubles, and strings. But when I tried to pass a member of a class, it showed up as a null object in the javascript. The class in question is marked [Serializable]. I changed it to a struct, and got the same behavior.It looks as if the serializer used in IScriptControl does a shallow copy.
View 2 RepliesI have a complex object. For example a SCHOOL object that contains a collection of PERSON object. How can I use the ObjectDataSource control with a FormView and flatten the complex object? An example display would be to display the school name and comma separate the students on the page. Is this possible?

My DataTable is programatically generated, and contains objects of type JobInstance in the cells.
[Code]....
When I bind this DataTable to an ASP GridView, it only displays the first column. But if I remove the "typeof(Job)" when creating the column (the line with // !!!), the GridView displays all the columns by showing the result of JobInstance.ToString() in the cells. However, I have no access to the underlying JobInstance object, only the string values that are being displayed.
I need access to the JobInstance object when displaying the GridView (for example in the OnRowDataBound), because I want to access the fields inside JobInstance for each cell to determine formatting options, and add other links in each cell.

This seems a little clunky, as in slow. Is there a better way to get the Class B (User) information without making a query every time?
I want to be able to update a model and all its collections of child objects in the same view. I have been referred to these examples: http://haacked.com/archive/2008/10/23/model-binding-to-a-list.aspx and http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2010/01/28/editing-a-variable-length-list-aspnet-mvc-2-style/ .
For example, I have an object Consultant, that has a collection of "WorkExperiences". All this is in an Entity Framework model. In the view, the simple properties of the Consultant object is no problem, but the collection I cannot get a textbox to show up for. I tried following the examples in the links above, but it doesn't work. The problem is, in those examples the model is just a list (not an object with a child list property). And also, the model again is an EF model. And for some reason that doesn't seem to work as in those examples.
[Code]....
This stuff with the EditorTemplate works fine in Phil Haack's sample project, which I downloaded to try, but here, with the EF model or whatever the problem is, I don't get any textbox at all. The table in the view is just there as a test, because in the table I do get the rows for WorkExperiences, whether I add an empty WorkExperience object or fill out its properties doesn't matter, the rows show up for each object. But again, no textbox...
I have this object in my server side:

Now I do this on the client side, to send a typed object to the server:

and actually it works. The problem is that I cannot find the way to stablish this property: "public ThingDetails[] details;"
I have a table in my database with a one to many relationship to another table, which has a relationship to a third table:

This seems to work fine. My question to you good folks: Is there a correct way to do this? I tried following the making a custom model binder per the blog link I posted above but it didn't work (there was an issue with reflection, the code expected certain properties to exist) and I needed to get something going ASAP. PS - I tried to cleanup the code to hide specific information, so beware I may have hosed something up.
I am using the cascading dropdownlist controls from the Ajax toolkit. I have everything working perfectly and all of my select changes work. I have 3 related select boxes that all work great for single item select. What I need is for my last dropdownlist to allow for the selection of multiple items. I have tried adding the 'multiple' attribute to the final dropdown list and it allows the selection of multiple items but I cannot get the items when I post back, just a single item.
View 7 RepliesI have a list box that I want to allow the users to select up to 4 items from. I set the selection property to multiple, but for the life of me it won't allow multiple selection. If I pre-select 4 items, they show up as all selected when the page loads, but as soon as I select another, it clears all of them and then only allows one at a time. if I check the source code for the page, the property is set to multiple (see below).
HTML Code:
<td colspan="2" style="height: 28px">

i want to use multiple session variables for single session i know how to use for multiple session variables i dont know
View 9 RepliesI have a view that is based on a view model. This model has a single property called Entity, of type ServiceProvider, which is a Linq2SQL object. This object has relationships to 2 other objects Address and ServiceProviderGroup. In a HTML view I have textboxes that allow the properties of the Entity property to be changed and also the properties of the Address object related to it.
E.g: ViewModel.Entity.Code, ViewModel.Entity.Name, ViewModel.Entity.Address.City, etc, etc.
There is also a selectlist that will allow the Entity.GroupId (int) property to be changed. This defines a relationship to the ServiceProviderGroup class which is also accessible via a Group propery. (standard linq2sql back references)
The Edit[Post] method accepts an instance of this view model and all properties (on the Entity, Entity.Address properties) are set as expected. I then lookup the original object in the database and I also bring back the original address and group data.
E.G: entity => entity.Code == viewModel.Code && entity.Address.Id == viewModel.Address.Id && entity.Group.Id == viewModel.Entity.GroupId (I'm not looking at the code, but it's something similar to this)
Either way the original Entity, Entity.Address, etc, come back from the database. I then apply the changes from the view model to the original object using UpdateModel and everything is updated as expected. But, if I try to change Entity.GroupId, i.e. change the relationship on the entity to another ServiceGroupProvider object, I get an exception in the generated code of the ServiceProvider object.
This happens in the GroupId property of the ServiceProvider class (viewModel.Entity). When it reaches the line if(!this.HasLoadedOrAssignedValue) it enters the "if" statement and throws an exception. When the data is first read from the database it skips this part. But, when UpdateModel attempts to apply the new Entity.GroupId value it throws the exception.
We know that authorization's stuff is a cross cutting concern, and we do anything we could to avoid merge business logic in our views. But I still not find an elegant way to filter UI components (e.g. widgets, form elements, tables, etc) using the current user roles without contaminate the view with business logic. same applies for model binding.
Example
Form: Product Creation
Fields:
Name
Price
Discount
Roles:
Role Administrator
Is allowed to see and modify the Name field
Is allowed to see and modify the Price field
Is allowed to see and modify the Discount
Role Administrator assistant
Is allowed to see and modify the Name
Is allowed to see and modify the Price
Fields shown in each role are different, also model binding needs to ignore the discount field for 'Administrator assistant' role.
I have a class:
[Code]....
Then another class, for ProjectCustomer:
[Code]....
My view is the same as any standard auto-created view, with properties set using the likes of:
[Code]....
In my edit page, for editing the fields for these classes, everything works fine, the model binder works, and validation works. In my create page, only the Project class properties get set and the ProjectCustomer properties remain null. I've tried everything I can think of from manually instantiating a new ProjectCustomer before calling TryUpdate model, to letting MVC handle the lot by including the class as a paramater for the action. The values are being passed just fine, as I've tried a FormCollection too and in the debugger the FormCollection contains all the correct fields (i.e. Customer.Name etc.) yet no matter what the ModelBinder just wont attach the inputs to the Customer object inside the Project object, but will only not do this on the Create action, and does it fine for the Edit action even though the code is almost entirely identical.
why the ModelBinder is just refusing to bind for the Create action and no other? What steps can I perform to debug the ModelBinder when it's not working properly like this?
I've tried every combination of things I can think of under the sun, and simply can't understand why it works for one action, but not for another, especially when the code I've used is fairly basic. I'll note that these classes were intended as MetaData classes hence their pointless seeming simplicity, but as part of trying to track down the problem I've stripped them to the bare bones setup above, and still no luck.
Under what circumstances does the ModelBinder decide not to fill the properties of a sub-object?
I was wondering if it is possible to map multiple DTO objects to a single ViewModel object using Automapper?
Essentially, I have multiple DTO objects and would like to display information from each on a single screen in ASP.NET MVC 2.0. To do so I would like to flatten the DTO objects (or parts of them...) into the Viewmodel and pass said viewmodel to the view. If I had one DTO this would be easy, but I've never seen it being done with multiple. Obviously there are a number of roundabout ways to do this (outside of automapper), but this is the approach that I would like to take if possible.
This project is pretty far away and I'm not in the position to go make changes all over the place (If I could, deleting the lot would be what I'd do!)
I want to create a modelbinder that would resolve any dependencies my View Models might have (using StructureMap).
It should not require me to implement a specific interface (so many developers, so many interfaces..I rather keep things clean) and hopefully not require one to go register each model binder individually (Now I'm asking too much,taking the first requirment
in consideration).
Probably will get it right tonight, but figured I'd ask.
I'm starting with EditorTemplates and I have this situation: I have and fild int that represents and phone number. In EditorTemplate I'll separate it in 2 textbox. But How can I join (concatenate) it in my action? If possible, I want to still use ModelBinder.
View 1 RepliesI am looking for an accepted pattern for using MVC 2 and EF. Especially I am interested on how to implement updates. Where should the ObjectContext be created, where should the queries be, how to pass a model object from the controller and have it persisted with minimum robust code. I also want to be able to use transactions when updating multiple objects.
I used Linq in an asp.net application (code behind model). With EF I was hearing it was much more n-tier friendly, but I don't find it any different, rather than people talking about POCO which to me, all it means is satisfying the desire of those that want to have control of every piece of code being created.

I use some jQuery code to exchange element between them (Here too, no problem). My problem begin when I post my form, I'm unable to get the data from the DropDownList with attribute multiple or size. I tried in my controler to add a FormCollection parameter, I can see every element in my form except those select tag with more options than id and name. I tested to put a manual select tag in my code with only an id and a name then add size and multiple attribute, when there is only id and name I can get the value but when there are more I can't get my select tag in the FormCollection
