Maxlength Attribute Of A Text Box From The DataAnnotations StringLength In MVC2?
Mar 5, 2010
I am working on an MVC2 application and want to set the maxlength attributes of the text inputs.
I have already defined the stringlength attribute on the Model object using data annotations and it is validating the length of entered strings correctly.
I do not want to repeat the same setting in my views by setting the max length attribute manually when the model already has the information. Is there any way to do this?
Code snippets below:
From the Model:
[Required, StringLength(50)]
public string Address1 { get; set; }
From the View:
<%= Html.LabelFor(model => model.Address1) %>
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Address1, new { @class = "text long" })%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Address1) %>
What I want to avoid doing is:
<%= Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Address1, new { @class = "text long", maxlength="50" })%>
Is there any way to do this?

Prior to using a ViewModel, I could easily pass the "soon to be edited" object directly to the view without needing to fuss over setting individual properties etc as the View conveniently accepted the Employee type directly..
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult EditEmployee(int? id)
{
EmployeeRepository ER = new EmployeeRepository();
Employee SomeEmployee = ER.GetEmployee(id.Value);
if(SomeEmployee!=null)
return View(SomeEmployee);
But now I'm using a ViewModel with DataAnnotations attributes applied over the top of various properties for validation purposes. Which creates a problem.. After fetching the "soon to be edited" object from the db, setting the ViewModel's values is suddenly a whole lot more complicated. I can't simply pass the retrieved object straight to the view, as the View now expects the VMEmployee type instead. I would like to be able to do something like:
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult EditEmployee(int? id)
{
EmployeeRepository ER = new EmployeeRepository();
Employee SomeEmployee = ER.GetEmployee(id.Value);
if(SomeEmployee!=null)
return View(new VMEmployee(SomeEmployee));
All paths seem to lead to a huge constructor which manually sets the values of each individual property. But I never had to do that before when I wasn't using a ViewModel. Model binding was a blessing! My objects also have complex child objects, which my form is also collecting values for, so this would be a huge/verbose task against DRY principals. I don't even really want to use a ViewModel, but am forced to because I need two different DataAnnotations rule sets for different validation scenarios applied to the same object.
All I want to do is be able to have two different DataAnnotations rule sets for different scenarios. I.e. public-facing www site vs internal-facing admin site. DataAnnotations doesn't seem to be flexible enough to easily cater for this common need. I've tried AutoMapper, but it throws an error saying it can't map my object types, I suspect because Employee was auto-generated by LINQ to SQL. What is the most elegant way to achieve this while sticking to DRY principals?

So, I've got an contact form in my MVC 2 application.
I'd like to programatically email all properties of my "ContactModel".
Here is what I'd like to do in psuedo-ish code:
[Code]....
In case it matters...ContactModel sets up the DisplayName attributes like this:
[DisplayName("First Name")]
public string FirstName {get; set ;}
I'd like to keep this nice and DRY by not repeating the DisplayName names.
Specifically, I'd like to enumerate over each property in my ContactModel, get its DisplayName, and get its submitted value.

I will like to achieve the following html using Html.ActionLink:
<li><a href="/WhatWeDo/JohnDoe">John Doe</a>President</li>
The name "John Doe" and title "President" will be coming from a staff model. This is what I have:
<% foreach (var item in Model as IEnumerable<AkwiMemorial.Models.Staff>)
{ %>
<li><%= Html.ActionLink(item.Name, "GetStaffDetails", "WhatWeDo", new { staffID = item.Id }, null) %> item.Position</li>
<% } %>
Instead of rendering "item.Position" literally, I will like this string extracted from the model.

I have a requirement to add specific functionality to an asp.net mvc2 web site to provide addtional SEO capability, as follows:
The incoming URL is plain text, perhaps a containing a sentence as follows
"http://somesite.com/welcome-to-our-web-site" or "http://somesite.com/cool things/check-out-this-awesome-video"
In the MVC pipeline, I would like to take this URL, strip off the website name, look up the remaining portion in a database table and call an appropriate controller/view based on the content of the data in the table. All controllers will simply take a single parameter bieng the unique id from the lookup table. A different controller may be used depnding on different urls, but this must be derieved from the database.
If the url cannot be resolved a 404 error needs to be provided, if the url is found but obsolete then a 302 redirect needs to be provided.Where the url is resolved it must be retained in the browser address bar.
I have had a look at the routing model, and custom routing and can't quite work out how to do it using these, as the controller would not be predefined, based on a simple route. I am also unsure of what to do to provide 404, 302 back to the headers also.Perhpas I need a custom httpmodule or similar but going there went beyond my understanding.

Is there a way I can limit the width of a textbox to be equal to the MaxLength property? In my case right now, the textbox control is placed in a table cell as in this snippet:
<td class=TDSmallerBold style="width:90%">
<asp:textbox id="txtTitle" runat="server"
CausesValidation="true"
Text="Type a title here..be concise but descriptive. Include price."
ToolTip="Describe the item with a short pithy title (most important keywords first). Include the price. The title you provide here will be the primary text found by search engines that index Zipeee content."
MaxLength="60"
Width="100%">
</asp:textbox>
(I know I should not use HTML tables to control layout..another subject for sure) but is there a way to constrain the actual width to the max number of characters allowed in the typed box?

If I set the maxlength field for a textbox, and have the textmode set to SingleLine, the amount of text is limited to the specified number of characters. If you change TextMode to MultiLine, the number of characters is no longer constrained.

I'm building an MVC 2 application with a MySQL database behind it. I've imported the model by adding an ADO.NET Entety Datamodel. Now I want to use DataAnnotations to validate the user input. So I have added the line
[Code]....
[code]....
However, It just doesn't do anything. The Model.IsValid() returns true no matter how long a string I submit.

I have quite a few text area's on my page and am wanting to limit the number of characters for each one. However each one should be able to have its own maxlength (i.e. one could be 20 characters and the other could be 100 characters). My validation on the page is all done using custom validation as the built in validation of .NET is not extensible enough for me to display my validation errors how I want to display them. So this is what im wanting to do:
Make a custom validatorPass a MaxLength value from the custom validator into the javascript function, this value must also be accessible from the code behindI can then run client side and server side validation on each textbox control. The problem I am having is passing a MaxLength value to client side script and to server side. Is there a property on custom validators which I can use to pass values around? For instance in Javascript I would want the value of the MaxLength and also the id of the Div which will show the characters remaining, and server side I would need to know the MaxLength. I have done lots of research on this and cannot seem to find an answer.

Dim reader As SqlDataReader
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader
Dim XML As String = reader("records").ToString
I've executed the command in SQL server and I get a result string with length of 54781But when I execute it via .NET and assign it to the XML variable, the length of XML is always 2033...so now Im thinking that the result column "records" cannot exceed this length for some reason...
