I'm using Entity Framework to create my data objects. Here's what my designer.cs file looks like:
[code]....
But my validations aren't loaded. If I try to submit the form with no value for Name, I get an error message saying The value '' is invalid. instead of my error message.
I am following the Nerd Dinner tutorial as I'm learning ASP.NET MVC, and I am currently on Step 3: Building the Model. One part of this section discusses how to integrate validation and business rule logic with the model classes. All this makes perfect sense. However, in the case of this source code, the author only validates one class: Dinner.
What I am wondering is, say I have multiple classes that need validation (Dinner, Guest, etc). It doesn't seem smart to me to repeatedly write these two methods in the partial class:
[code]....
This doesn't "feel" right, but I wanted to check with SO to get opinions of individuals smarter than me on this. I also tested it out, and it seems that the partial keyword on the OnValidate method is causing problems (understandably so). This doesn't seem possible to fix (but I could very well be wrong).
Can partial classes be used for web-services or there is some other way to implement it ?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to setup a base product class that will be inherited by a more specific class later. Here is my scenario. I have a table called ProductBase, it contains three fields, BaseProductId(PK), CatalogNum, and ListPrice. Every product in the system will share these attributes. Next, I have a table called Shirt, with three fields BaseProductId(PK, FK), Color, and Size.
I then setup an Entity Data Model that pulled in both of these tables, and created to classes BaseProduct and Shirt.
So, in my model, I want to do something like this:
[Code]....
The problem I have with this approach, is that I cannot force the properties for the Shirt. What if I make a change to the BaseProduct? What happens when I have multiple product types, will I have to repeat this code?
I've been tinkering for hours and I can't figure this out. Seems like it should be pretty straight-forward. Is it possible to use reflection to get a reference to a partial page class given the page's name and path so that I can iterate through the page and examine its controls? I am not looking to examine the currently loaded page, but another page within the same website.

How do you get the symbols to load for a partial class and thus debug it while attached to process?Some other details: I publish my website (its an ASP.NET 2.0 site) which is with "Use Fixed naming and single page assemblies" checkbox which just creates a .dll for each aspx.cs code behind but no .pdb version of it. There are other ways to deploy like a single .dll file.
View 1 RepliesI have a virtual directory called "MySite.web", and a folder inside this directory called "Sell" where I have my webform Create.aspx and several user controls like CreateAd_CarsAndTrucks.ascx and CreateAd_Motorcycles.ascx.When I try to compile, I get several errors in Create.aspx stating that public partial class Sell_CreateAd_CarsAndTruck, Sell_CreateAd_Motorcycles are not recognized. I am looking at both classes right now (they're in the same folder), so I have no idea why the compiler's not finding them.One odd thing is that, for a moment, it did find one of them (Sell_CreateAd_CarsAndTruck), but from an assembly in either folder "Temporary ASP.Net" under c:Windows or the one in c:usersusername. So I closed my IDE, and deleted both folders. When I open the solution once again, it recreates "Temporary ASP.Net" under c:usersusername and then creates a "App_Web_createad_carsandtrucks.ascx.5a5f4927.ebg000r0.dll" that it uses as definition for the class. But it never uses the actual class as a definition. Basically, when I right-click on the class instance to view its definition, it takes me to metadata.
View 7 RepliesWhy are Razor views not generated as partial classes? Making them partial classes gives us the option to have a code behind where we can do some of the stuff we're forced to do in the template itself in the code behind file.
Yes, I know the standard "go-to" thing is Html helper but I don't want to use Html helpers for these things as they are too specific to the view in question and besides, having a clutter of extension methods is just not the way to go.
I'd like to see Razor views generated as partial classes.

I have written a t4 template that basically replaces the work done by StronglyTypedResourceBuilder to give design time access to string resources as properties of classes, one class per resource file. Why? Well I needed to add some customer code that handles string token substitution and a few other customizations. Anyway, the template is working out really well and I may blog on it soon.
In the mean time though, following a common pattern, I have one .resx file for each view, master page, controller, etc. I would really like my t4 template to add a property to each such entity that gives quick access the custom resource class associated with it. For controllers this is easy. T4MVC is ensuring that they are a all declared partial. All I need to do is create the appropriate partial class in my output that declares a readonly property that returns an instance of the appropriate generated resource class.
The Problem:
I would like to do the same thing, inject generated code, into my views. Were this traditional ASP.Net, each .aspx page would have a .aspx.cs page and possibly an .aspx.designer.cs page that are all partial classes extending in the aspx page's class definition. There is no such thing by default in MVC and for good reason. However, I think for my purposes, if there is a way to do this, it would be the way to go.
I could subclass ViewPage and add a generic type parameter and a property that returns the class of that type but that has certain complications. I think adding auto generated code to each view via partial class (that is what partials are for after all) is the way to go.
I have made a basic attempt. I have created a .aspx.cs file for a view and placed a code behind attribute in the page declaration but the class generated from the view seems to reside in a different assembly any my "partial class" ends up as its own class in the same assembly as all my other code.
Do we have to do something special to have ASP.NET partial classes aware of controls that are declared in our user control's base classes? The partial classes keep generating declarations for controls in the base class which mean the controls in the base class get hidden and are null.

View 3 RepliesI have created a control that I use often on my web sites. To this control I hava a ViewModel class that has a property witha required attribute. I my "master"page I show this partial view but i can not get the validation on the view right in my master page.
This is how I have done it in short.
I have a ascx page containing a textbox and a button. If the textbox i empty when I press the button i Would like to show the user a red box around the textbox and some validation test. The partial view is strongly type with an class that contains only a string property for the textbox and has attribute [Required(Errormessage="Please enter a valid registration number")] just above the property.
Om my page that contains the partial view i looks very nice but I can not se the validation message or the red bos around the textbox how do I get the ModelState.IsValid from the partial view or how do I solve it so I can use the nice feature in DataAnnotations. I ´have search over the net but can not find any example code how to solve it. Does it work without java script?
I have 2 projects. A data project, which contains my database and my Entity Framework model. I have table called 'User', and then have a generated EF class for user. I am trying to add a partial class:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.Linq;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace Data
{
public partial class user
{
public bool isValid
{
get {
return (GetRuleViolations().Count()==0);
}
}
public IEnumerable<RuleViolation> GetRuleViolations()
{
yield break;
}
partialvoid OnValidate(ChangeAction action)
{
if (isValid)
throw new ApplicationException("Rule violation prevents saving");
}
}
public class RuleViolation
{
public string ErrorMessage { get; private set; }
public string PropertyName { get; private set; }
public RuleViolation (string errorMessage)
{
ErrorMessage = errorMessage;
}
public RuleViolation(string errorMessage, string propertyName)
{
ErrorMessage = errorMessage;
PropertyName = propertyName;
}
}
}
This is following the MVC 1.0 NerdDinner example. However, I am getting a design time error on the OnValidate method:
partial void OnValidate(ChangeAction action)
{
if (isValid)
throw new ApplicationException("Rule violation prevents saving");
}
No definining declaration found for implimenting declaration of partial method 'void OnValidate(ChangeAction action)' What am I doing wrong?

This project I'm working on have this custom clientside JavaScript validation framework created for (which I cannot change) that show error messages/summary based on your data annotations and a "Validate" method in your ViewModel.
Like I said I'm not allowed to change this, so wont be able to go with suggestions doing that.
What the person that created this did not foresee, is that one might need put several partials of the same type and having the same view model (each in a form) on a view.
So I went ahead and did things the normal way (using Html.whateverFor<model => model.whatever) and wala!....the custom validation thing throws error messages for the specific form fields, next to each form in the view. I was suggested to create a "prefix" for each instance of the view model, and do something like this:
Change: <%: Html.HiddenFor(model => model.AccountNumber)%>
To: <%: Html.Hidden(Model.ElementPrefix + "AccountNumber", Model.AccountNumber)%>
Not to mention the tons of jquery selectors and all that I have to go change (and all my view inputs)
(I just hate having to find workarounds for this "custom" everything they created for this project)
I am returning partial view

before begin form.
the problem is that when I click save the first time with wrong data the validation not working but it is working the second time I click save.
I am new to LINQ. when we drag tables we get a dbml file and designer file.
For example DataClasses1.dbml and DataClasses1.designer.cs.
Once we have them then we can start using our LINQ Queries.
In my company project I do not see this designer files and instead there are .tt files which were used as templates to greate ABC.generated.cs files. Is this same as designer class?
I don't know if this has to do with how FindControl works or how scope works. But my base class is having a hard time seeing the fields of child classes. Currently I'm planning have the derived class set a property in the base class, but there are a lot of derived classes, so that isn't a very attractive solution.

View 3 RepliesI'm curious as to what people consider better practice, between duplicating model structure in the view model and using a mapping tool to move data between the two, or aggregate the model inside the view model, i.e. have a property on the view model class that is a reference to the actual model. Which is considered a better approach in general?
