I have a GridView with DataSource an EntityDataSource web control.
I would like filter Data using EntityDataSource, filter show apply for the Current Logged-In User, this value should be taken using MS Memebership Provider ( Membership.GetUser(); ).
Now I cannot inf any Parameter in EntityDataSource that would allow me to dot that (in Where/Automatically generate a Where expression using provided parameter ).
I am using and EntityDateSource and I add where condition to filter the data at runtime and then bind the grid to the dataSource, but I am getting following error:-
The argument types 'Edm.DateTime' and 'Edm.String' are incompatible for this operation.
I am using an ADO Entity Model for my ms-sql database.
My database has a Resellers table which has ResellerID (primary key, int) and Name columns along with other data.
I also have an Orders table which contains OrderID (primary key, int), OrderDate, ResellerID (foreign key to Resellers.ReselerID).
If I just do a query like:
[Code]....
I am able to reference order.Reseller.Name just fine with no problems.
However I have an EntityDataSource on my page as follows:
[Code]....
Notice the Include="Reseller" attribute in the datasource... I also have a GridView tied to that datasource as follows: I cut some of it off for breavity:
[Code]....
Now what I have listed above will run with no errors, but what I want to do is replace the column that displays "ResellerID" with the equivilant to order.Reseller.Name. In other words I want my grid to display the reseller's name rather than the numeric ID.
I have tried to change the DataField to "Reseller.Name" but that will generate the following error:
A field or property with the name 'Reseller.Name' was not found on the selected data source.
Is there anyway to do this without me writing a custom select statement in my code behind?
I am new to formview .My formview works fine, when I insert data into the database directly and then do an update on it. It throws an error when I try to insert a new record. The error just says
"An error occurred while updating the entries. See the inner exception for details."
How to insert data into the table using an entity dastasource?
I have a page with an EntityDataSource and I want to insert a new item using a FormView. However, the SQL database has a varbinary field which I need to insert an image into.
So far, I have all the rest of the FormView correct and it saves no problem. I can also use the asp:FileUpload to correctly obtain the data. I am assumin that I need to add some C# code to the FormView1_ItemInserting Event Handler, but that is where I am stuck. So far, this is what I have:
[Code]....
Would somebody be so kind as to point me in the right direction with the correct code to add this item to the data I am saving.
I'm face of a little problem when using GridView, an EntityDatasource and entity custom properties using a partial class. I'll describe it and I hope that someone has already find the solution because I try to figured out since two days.
In securing actions/controllers, do I have to create a custom filter or use MVC built-in filter?
To use the built-in attribute Authorize() on an action/controller or create a separate class that inherits the ActionFilterAttribute which has a method (OnActionExecuting) to override and do the authentication there?
In my organization we use nested groups. For a particular usage, we have a group (let's assume that the group name "kuku"), and the names of all the nested groups under it contains "kuku" as well.
We may assume that no other group in the LDAP has "kuku" in the name.
I need to create a filter which will return all the users which belong to one of the "kuku"s group.
Obviously, using this filter will bring only the head kukus
(&(&(objectclass=user)(objectclass=person))(memberOf=CN=kuku,cn=...rest of the group DN...))
How can I use wild card to fetch all users which belong to any kuku?
For example: (&(&(objectclass=user)(objectclass=person))(memberOf=CN=.*kuku.*))
I have decorated my base controller with a couple of action filters. They work fine.
One of those filters sets up the request - does things like set the culture based on the domain, etc.
I also have a handful of actions that require authorization using the Authorize attribute.
My problem is that when an user attempts to request a page they are not authorized to access, the authorization filter kicks in and redirects them to a page telling them that they cannot vie the page.
The issue is that the action filters never run so the culture and other request data is never set. This effectively causes language to be wrong in the view and other data to be missing.
I know that authorization filters run first but my question is this: How can I design this such that I can ensure that certain methods are always run before the view is returned, regardless of the authorization.
I have a simple ASP.NET (Web Form) application. I created a separate project for my DAL. In the DAL, I have created an entity called Sites.
Now, I want to bind that to a form using an EntityDataSource control but it isn't visible. What am I doing wrong?
I made sure to reference the DAL.dll in the web project and include it in the code behind for the form. It's been a while since I've been in ASP.Net :-)
What my code does is that the EntityDataSource has a Where Parameter tied to the first DropDownList and it populates the second DropDownList, but when the first DDL changes, the EntityDataSource doesn't change the values of the second DDL. Worth mentioning this is inside a ModalPopupExtender which is inside an UpdatePanel. Maybe there is a way in just putting all the data in the second DropDownList and filter it depending on the value of the first one... or something like that... so there's no need of refreshing the data.
I'm utterly new to APS.NET and in particular the MVC model...! I have a Telerik RadGrid control that I'm using. Until now (following NerdDinner) I was having the Model passed back to the view and this provided access to the various properties I wanted.
.. lets me loop around the Model object and extract Customer data. This RadGrid control, however, needs me to use an EntityDataSource (hooked up via the designer). Does this have implications for maintaing the MVC pattern? I'm a little confused about how the EntityDataSource works in relation to my Model.EDIT: I do know there is an MVC version of the RadGrid but we also need the RadScheduler and a few others.. besides that, I'd still like to know the impact.
I have a table in SQL fro "Categories" and I need populate a TreeView in my Asp.net page.
My question are:
1 - How can i populate the TreeView? 2 - How can i use the TreeView to modify the hierarchy of my Categories?
NOTE: I use "hierarchyid" SQL Columns!
CREATE TABLE dbo.CmsCategories ( CategoryId int NOT NULL IDENTITY (0,1) -- Seed = 0 and Increment= 1 CONSTRAINT PK_CmsCategories_CategoryId PRIMARY KEY, Title nvarchar(40) NOT NULL, MetaDescription nvarchar(160) NOT NULL, MetaKeyword nvarchar(128) NOT NULL, Summary nvarchar(256) NOT NULL, IsPublished bit NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DF_CmsCategories_IsPublished DEFAULT 1, CategoryNode hierarchyid NOT NULL, CategoryNodeLevel AS CategoryNode.GetLevel() );
I have an EntityDataSource and I need set WHERE to a Local Variable Type: GUID.
My problem is I am not able to send my local variable Guid to EntityDataSource for a WHERE OPERATION.
I also tried to to use a ControlParameter<asp:ControlParameter Name="UserId" /> and have a Label with Text property on my Guid converted in String. But does not work.
I've used EF4 EntityDataSources to do DataBinding with success, but here's a case where I'm stumped:
Table "CurrentComplaintsByUsers" has a foreign key over to a "Complaints" table. So in EF, I can access a CurrentComplaintByUser record, and navigate to its parent complaint like so:
var ccU = dataContext.CurrentComplaintsByUsers.First(); var parentComplaint = ccU.Complaint;
When I whip up an EntityDataSource based on CurrentComplaintsByUsers to bind a gridview, I want to get over from the "Complaint" object to an Assocation of Complaint called "Status". Here's a StatusID in my Complaint table, and so in code I can hit a complaint's status like so, including the Status properties:
FAILURE: when I try to bake this all into an EntityDataSource, I can't get from my starting item "CurrentComplaintsByUsers" over to "Status". Here's my EDS:
System.InvalidOperationException "A specified Include path is not valid. The EntityType 'EOCaseApp.CurrentComplaintsByUser' does not declare a navigation property with the name 'Status'."
I'm trying to get to the point where this works in my Gridview:
So, using declaritive markup only, how do I get to a related objects associations from the EDS? (I can do it in code, just trying to use the EDS exclusively when I can)
Other notes: if I remove "Status" from the "Include" in the EDS, then I get a NULL ERROR when it hits ..Complaint.Status.LabelText in my Gridview, pretty much what you'd expect.
I try to do exactly like this thread : http://forums.asp.net/p/1551018/3802862.aspx#3802862But when i apply the solution it do work but i can't delete an entry anymore in the GridView..
I have an A B AB (Many-to-Many?) table setup (where AB is the Linking Table for records in A and B by their IDs). Entity Framework 4.0 seems to create the EDM correctly (making an entity for A and B, and navigation property for AB). My problem is getting a GridView bound to an EntityDataSource to display columns from A with associated B records.
Here's my code:
[Code]....
The resulting GridView only shows columns from A. How do I get it to also show the associated columns from B? Do I have to explicitly define the columns or is AutoGenerateColumns smart enough to figure it out?
I am using EF 4 and EntityDataSource in a Page (WebForms).
This page contains a DropDownList that display UserName. Data from this DropDownList it is from "aspnet_Users". At the moment I am using a single EntityDataSource code belove: <asp:EntityDataSource ID="EntityDataSourceListUsers" runat="server" ConnectionString="name=CmsConnectionStringEntityDataModel" DefaultContainerName="CmsConnectionStringEntityDataModel" EnableFlattening="False" EntitySetName="aspnet_Users" Select="it.[UserId], it.[UserName]"> </asp:EntityDataSource>
I need to FILTER the UserName associated to a specific ROLE and displaying it in the DropDownList therefore using others tables"aspnet_UsersInRoles" and "aspnet_Roles".
How to do it? Would be great have a simple solution since I am a beginner.
i'm using an entitydatasource to save an entity which has an nullable integer property with the default value 0,this property is bound to a textbox in a formview.I assume that when I leave the textbox blank the datasource should understand that I want the property to have null and set it to 0 by default, but it acts different way, it doesn't save the enity at all and gives the entity in Updated and Inserted events as null:
I have a Entity Data Model with a number of tables in it. I have a web page that only has an EntityDataSource on it.In the code behind I am collecting some data that I am going to write to a SQL table What I want to do is call the EntityDataSource_Insert event and when it is fired it will call the EntityDataSource_Inserting event.
