View 1 RepliesIf I wanted to create a custom HTML helper and take advantage of the new in-built templating feature, how would I do that? It appears the templating features are internal?
View 3 RepliesI am having a trouble while trying to create an entity with a custom view modeled create form. Below is my custom view model for Category Creation form.
[code]....
When i click on save button, it doesnt bind the category for me because of i am using custom view model and strongly typed html helpers like that
<%=Html.TextBoxFor(model => Model.Category.OrderNo) %>
My html source looks like this
[code]....
How can i fix this?
is this right? i am trying to display value in input box dynamically?
can anyone advice me is this corect approach? but still I am getting here only + + in input box?
So, I am having a hard time getting this to work. I am trying to add some typographic HTML codes to some labels I have strongly typed to my model.
<%: Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name) %>
I am using data annotations to customize the DisplayName of the property:
[DisplayName("Your friend’s name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
However the actual code is being displayed for the label:
Your friend’s name
I have also tried just using the old write method:
<%= Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name) %>
I'm trying to follow a tutorials on how to use helpers to use video, audio, Twitter, etc. And for that I need Microsoft.Web.Helpers. But when I try to add it via NUPACK, the whole application crushes. Even when I remove the package, the application never recovers. Below is the error I'm getting.
[Code]....
Where can I get Microsoft.Web.Helpers so that I can just add it manually to my project.
Starting to get frustrated with MVC and how everything is so helper based with one massive Html helper that just has everything in it. No more controls to inherit from, no events, nothing. I don't see what's the proper way to "customize" something. It's seems it take it or leave it or copy source code and start over again with yet more helper functions. And man, so much stuff in core mvc is internal or private so you end up copying a lot of code but then it won't work. I also don't see any events so that when the core helpers are generating an input element that I can hook in and customize there.
I'm trying to build a forms engine and I like all this new MVC 3 with data annotations, validation, etc. HOWEVER, for all my input controls I need to
1) Add javascript events for onkeydown, onchange, etc
2) Show validation errors using tooltips (was going to use a jqueryui plugin). Based on this, I really just want to place a Html.TextBoxFor and have it generate all the required validation stuff including it's own hidden ! to display should a validation error being present.
I'm using LLBL business objects so it's not so easy to go add attributes like [required] and stuff. Ideally, I'd like to layout the forms once, but then OUTSIDE the form, inside the helpers, or whatever method I use, there I can customize exactly how the input elements and validations are rendered. What is the easiest way to customize, hook, subclass, whatever, the current helpers so that I can generate input elements but with my own project's specific twists?
I have been using web forms and I have been let down by them. I hate the way it mangles my element id's and names. I want to have full control over my html and have the ability to have multiple forms on one page.
I do not use view state or post backs. All my server communication is done using JQuery ajax and sometimes page methods.
My pages do not make use of any runat=server controls other than occasionally using the repeater.
For now I have been using inline code like the following but I like the mvc html helpers.
EXAMPLE:
[Code]....
At the moment, using the asp.net mvc framework is not an option but I would like to use the HTML helpers in my asp.net application.
Is this possible to use the mvc html helpers or do I have to create my ow helpers?
I just upgraded my mvc 1.0 project to 2.0 using the wizard. My project builds fine however, my html helpers that I have used, does not render the input's ID tag. For some reason, only some controls render and some do not. For example:
[code]....
I thought it had to do with the fact that the value is empty, but from the two examples, they are nearly identical. Is this a bug? All was working before I upgraded.
I´m learning mvc and I found a problem. I have a product table that stores currencies in integers. On the other hand I have a table name currency that stores each int id with the currency name.
On html.dropdownlist I followed the pattern:
The name of the form field (ArtistId) The list of values for the dropdown, passed as a SelectList The Data Value field which should be posted back with the form The Data Text field which should be displayed in the dropdown list The Selected Value which is used to set the dropdown list value when the form is displayed
This was great for Forms in order to display selections. Right know I´m finishing my details views and I need to use the int id on product table but display the name on currency table associated to that int id.
Does anyone knows if it exist an html helper that renders the Data Text Field that should be dsiplayed on the View taking into consideration the int number?
Something like @html.display("Name", model.product.currencyid) where name is pulled from db.currency?.
So, most of the MVC examples I find are C#, so I seem to have trouble finding samples ....(bear with me, I'm a newbie) with that said, if anyone can point me in the right direction,
I simply want to be able to apply htmlattributes / styles to my select box
[Code]....
How can I use css and other attributes such max length with the strongly typed views ?

i wrote mvc 2 application with target framework asp.net 4.0 but my hosting provider supports asp.net 3.5. then i set my project's target framework to 3.5 and i compiled successfully on localhost but when i run the application it says me:
Server Error in '/' application
Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<MvcApplication1.Models.xxx>'.
Source Error:
Line 1: <%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master"
Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<MvcApplication1.Models.xxx>" %>
and visual studio can't see Model and html helpers on view pages.
I'm trying to write a simple declarative html helper: [Code]....
The helper works fine if I embed it into the page I want to use it on. But if I move it to a separate .cshtml file and place that file in the ~/Views/Helpers directory, my view can't be compiled anymore because the helper is not found.According to Scott Gu's blog article on Razor it should work.
The only workaround I have found so far is placing the Html helper in App_Code and Referencing it as @[MYHTMLHELPERFILENAME].Echo(...) . This works but is a bit messy since I don't want to repeat the name of my extension method (Echo.Echo("inputstring"), nor do I want to put all of my html helpers into one single file (something like MyHtmlHelpers.cshtml).It certainly isn't what Scott announced either, so I guess I must be doing something wrong.
namespace MvcLogin_Validation.Helpers
{
public static class LabelExtensions

Was RouteValueDictionary intended for use with htmlAttributes? Is there an alternative? The only 'feature' RouteValueDictionary looks like its got is it has a constructor which accepts an object.
What should I be using in custom helpers?
Will I get the advantage of the new Strongly Typed Html Helpers with asp.net MVC 2 if were to use the spark engine for rendering?
View 3 RepliesI've just started wokring with Asp.Net mvc and i relay love it. One thing I don't know how to do it yet is:
If I want to develope a new user control (e. g. PeoplePicker) how I get the data? I don't want to use allways ajax requests, some controls should be initialized when the page is loaded. So I could use the Html Helpers and create own extension. So far this is exactly what i want and it's working. But now to the real problem. I can't use dependency injection in extension methods (I'm using spring.net, but the problem should be in all di frameworks).
So which approche is the most common to use this problem? Must I realy pass in the data from my controller? But then the controller must know how my user controls works, I don't want that!
I don't know if this is possible but I would like to customize some of the HTML helpers autogenerated in the template. For example, I would like to replace the LabelFor with something that will allow me to specify an image with the label and also a ToolTip property so when you hover over the label you get the tool tip.
View 2 RepliesI am using the MetaDataType DataAnnotation to validate my models in an MVC2 application. I also apply the DisplayFormat annotation so that currencies and dates are formatted the way I want. This method works for the original Html Helpers such as :

the formatting never gets applied. Is there a way around this?
I try to use HtmlHelper.TextBoxFor with spark view engine but view crashed with exception "Dynamic view compilation failed. 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'TextBoxFor' and no extension method 'TextBoxFor' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' could be found(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)".
It is my _global.spark:
<use namespace="System"/>
<use namespace="System.Linq"/>
<use namespace="System.Text" />
<use namespace="System.Web.Mvc"/>
<use namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html"/>
<use namespace="System.Web.Routing"/>
<use namespace="System.Linq.Expressions" />
<use namespace="MyModels" />
In spark-view using:
${Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName)}
I currently trying to convert a ASP.NET MVC2 application to ASP.NET MVC3 razor. I have a lot custom Html helper methods, which render html output, like the one below, which renders a button with some markup :
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("<input type='submit' id='") .Append(buttonId) .Append("' name='" ) .Append(buttonId) .Append("' value='") .Append(buttonValue) .AppendLine("' class='myclass1 myclass2' />");return MvcHtmlString.Create(sb.ToString());
