I would like to get the html code a view would generate in a string, modify it in my controller, then add it to my JsonResult.
I found code that would do what i'm talking about from a partial. I would like to do it from an aspx View though.
Extra explanation:
Let's say I have a page Frame.aspx that /Controller/Frame will return I would like to get my hand on the response before it out so I can to wrap it with jsonp. I do not wish to edit the return result in code every time, this is why I want to load the view programmatically.
/Controller/Frame currently returns Frame.aspx's content: <html><body>hello</body></html>
Let's say there's a function that renders a view in a string builder
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
RenderView(sb, "Frame");
I am totally a new bee in asp.net mvc. Let me now explain my issue. I have a strongly typed view which inherits from a view model Document. I want to have a partial view in that view itself. My code for this purpose is :
I'm rendering charts on my website using the Google Charts API and I want to export these into a report for the users, most likely a PDF file. What methods are available to do this programmatically into a PDF file?
The thing is that the HtmlContent string is getting "auto decoded" so the paragraph-elemnts gets renderd as <p>(sry might mix up decoding and encodeing..Im always getting confused by those)
anyway..I want the string to render as proper Html...how can this be achieved?
Let's say I have a string that I retrieve from a DB like: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et {{Hyperlink|navigateurl='/foo.aspx'}} dolore magna aliquyam."
This string may now get assigned to the Text-property of a label. What I want is to parse {{Hyperlink|navigateurl='/foo.aspx'}} and replace it with
and assign the whole text including the HyperLink-Control to the Label.
Is that even possible? I think I could use reflection to create the control and set the properties. (the HyperLink-Control was just an example) But can I manage to insert the asp.net control back into the string to ensure the hyperlinks rendering as server contorl?
I hope you understand what I want. If not, feel free to post comments.
Edit1:
what do you mean by "assign the whole text including the HyperLink-Control to the Label."? can you xplain a bit, the reason for doing so ?
I think it won't work to assign the control into the string, because a asp.net control cannot be fit into a string.
After some thinking I found a way to achieve my goal. That would be to create a placeholder (I name it A). Therein some Literal control will be added. In addition I would create a placeholder (I name it B), add my Hyperlink into B, and add A into B. But I think is way to overkill.
The reason why I started thinking about this, was to gain access to Server.MapPath without replacing occurences in the string. I want to be able to use relative paths in my CMS, that get rendered like the NavigateUrl property from a hyperlink. Nevertheless I think my question with the dynamically creation is worth thinking about
Iam getting the below string in a variable"result" after xslt tranformation. if i do Page.ParseControl(result) iam able to render controls to the page. But the requirement is different. I have 4 place holders in that aspx page.I need to bind div id="Section1" to placeholder1, div id="Section2" to placeholder2 and similar the other two sections also to the corresponding place holder. how can i loop and add controls to corresponding place holder.
I'm trying to figure out if there's a good way to remove the duplication in this scenario. Here's the model ... a Person that contains two Addresses:
[Code]....
And here's the view:
[Code]....
The entire Address block is duplicated ... one for the Home address, one for the Work address. To remove duplication, I tried factoring out the Address block into a partial view, and doing this in place of the two divs above:
[Code]....
And the page renders fine, but when it gets posted back on form submit, the model binding doesn't work. (Of course it doesn't work ... the <input> tags for the address blocks both have name="Street", so there's no way for the model binder to know whether to shove that into HomeAddress or WorkAddress.)
I read this post:
[URL] but that answer seems most unsatisfactory. Is there a better solution?
I'm rendering a gridview from a controller by adding data logic. On the same page I would like to render another grid by binding it to anoither data source / linq query.
When I do it for one, I do the following
[Code]....
How do I render another data source to the same page ?? I havent done it before, and would like to know if it can be done and if so how!
The Partial View submit a form calling an Action Method inside the HomeController.
It works fine with server validation, the problem is that after the post only the Partial View is rendered.
How can I render the entire Home view after post?
[code]....
At this time, after the post, the ascx shows the server validation erros but only the PartialView ascx code is rendered. The Url looks like this after the post:
[URL]
What I want is showing the entire Home view with the ascx inside showing server validation errors.
I am trying to implement something like Ruby on Rail's ActionDispatch::Flash to pass messages to the next page request. The approach that I want to take is to store a pair of (partial view name, model object) in the session context and render it in the master page when rendering the request to display the flash message.
Inside my HttpApplication subclass I now have:
[Code]....
to render the partial view that was specified by name when Global#Flash was called.
I want to use a view for the flash message instead of saving the message as a string in the session context because I want to include the URL in the message:
<%-- BookmarkAddedFlash.ascx --%> <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<MyApp.Web.Models.Bookmark_AddModel>" %> <%: Html.DisplayTextFor(m => m.Url) %> was successfully bookmarked.
And I only want to render the view when the subsequent request is made; i.e. one request sets the flash message and the subsequent request renders it.
I need to dynamically modify the contents of a column in a GridView1 before it is displayed. Basically, I need to convert every 'Environment.NewLine' in a field to a so it displays as a new line on an ASP.NET page. How do I do this?
When the page loads it works fine. (and lots 10 links) on the update panel it hits the same function and tries to get another 10 links. I set the navigationURL to something like
"../Folder/Mypage.aspx?498592ghjgfosdfgo"
It is set identically both times(load and updatepanel postback) but when i try to render it to html the second time (on the update panel) it adds "../" to the front so i end up with
"../../Folder/Mypage.aspx?498592ghjgfosdfgo"
The function where it changes here
Public Shared Function RenderControl(ByVal c As Control) As String Dim sw As New IO.StringWriter Dim htmlw As New HtmlTextWriter(sw) c.RenderControl(htmlw) Return sw.ToString End Function
c is the hyperlink which has the propertry navigationurl (this never gets changed) but the sw which ends up looking like this on load

I would like to be able to render a view in ASP.NET MVC so that all css classes in the elements are rendered inline in the tags. The sole purpose of this is to have email clients recognise html, as I believe that style must be inline for it to be recognised in email messages.
Is there any facility in ASP.NET MVC (or ASP.NET) that allows this?
<% Html.RenderPartial("hello", new HelloInput { Name = "Jimmy" } ); %>
I would like to be able to like this:
<%=Html.Hello("Jimmy") %>
So I would like to know how create this helper:
public static string Hello(this HtmlHelper helper, string name) { return the result of rendering partial view "hello" with HelloInput{ Name = name }; }
Is there a way that I can create a page and master page and have some of the values dynamicly loaded thru selecting items in the querystring parameters.....
then is there a way that I can render that page only to a text string? by calling it with some querystring parameters and have it render to a string?
I guess my question is only the second part as I already know how to create a page with masterpage etc...
I also know how to create an email and snd it. I just dont know how to render the page to a string
I guess what I mean is that I want to render the page on the server in code behind and then have a text string which would be the rendered HTML in a string variable of some sort... I dont want to render the page to a users browser... in fact there would be no user at all connected (there is no need to be)What I want to do is (in a code module) load up a page created and stored in my wed app directory. I want to be able to load it from a code module and to bhe able to load it with some parametsrs and just get the rendered HTML.
I am trying to write a module which will send a HTML email to registered users and I want that HTML to be dynamicly created depending on some values in the recipient user,s profile.
I've got a page that I'm using as an e-mail template. I'd like to spin off a new thread, take the rendered page, and put it into an e-mail. Is this possible? If so, how? I haven't had luck so far.
I want to know that how to render partial view based on where the user navigates. I mean to say if user navigates to Home/index it will load different partial view and if user navigates to Home/contact it will load different partial view on the _layout page.
