I have been reading about different model for development
model view control mvc
model view presenter MVP
Model view view model MVVM
i belive MVC has two big Advantage over webform 1) TDD 2) More control on HTML
MVP is bit variation in mvc model. rapid development as well as 1) TDD 2) More control on HTML (correct me if i m wrong) see the below link

In Model-View-Presenter what is the correct pattern to do a page that:
a) contains a grid for browsing a list of items
b) an alternate mode for editing single items .maybe you are toggling between two asp:panels.
Do you just make the presenter smart enough to do two types of presentations?
Make 2 presenters?
I'm new to this pattern and want to do it correctly. I understand how I would do this functionality on two pages. Just not sure what is the accepted practice when the browse and detail exist on the same page.
I'm using Model-View-Presenter framework. When Loading a page, I'm having trouble setting the selected item that came from the Database.
In view, I know I need:
protected void ddlStatus_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
presenter.DdlStatusSelectedIndexChanged();
// what should this pass?
}
Then in Presenter:
public void DdlStatusSelectedIndexChanged()
{
view.DdlStatus = ???
// Should I pass the SelectedIndex?
}
I also think that part of my problem is that DdlStatus I have as a List.
Interface:
List<StatusDTO> DdlStatus { set; get; }

I've been used to decorating data model classes with data annotation attributes, but the purist in me baulks slightly at including purely presentational attributes such as display format here. I am, however, quite happy to keep validation centric attributes here. One good reason I have to continue keeping all annotations etc. in the data model is that my view model aggregates data model classes, e.g.
my ViewModelBase.DetailItem<TEntity> property in the view model is just a reference to an entity class in my data model. If I wanted to move presentational annotations to the view model, I would have to quite radically revise my design to one where I duplicate data model properties in my view model and use an object mapping tool to populate view model objects based on data model objects.
[code]....
Say I got a domain model as follows: (and my repository expect an instance of this object)
[Code]....
And a view model (which my views are based on)
[Code]....
At the moment I got it like this and have my controller action manually create a new Person object from the PersonModel object before passing it on to the repository, which does not feel right.
So I tried to have PersonModel inherit from Person and pass that to the repository (also tried casting the PersonModel to a Person object first), but that don't work out.
What's the right way to have PersonModel automatically cast to Person? I want to keep this logic as my current structure allow me to keep things really loosely coupled, with the repository layer not having a clue how it's being used.
I have an entity object as model input in my view. Not sure if it's the best approach, but I use the object references to get values from a related object.Let's say I've got a car entity and a manufacturer entity.Here's how it would look in my view
[Code]....
I've get a nullreferenceexception where the car entitity does not have a reference towards manufacturer. I'd like to output a " " if no manufacturer exists.
've created a Search partial view and it works, except for my view model. What i mean is, the partial view sends a string to my ActionResult Method, but only a string, that is not related to the view model that the partial view is built in. If i tell my ActionResult method to receive the view model in which the partial view is built in, it always tells me that i have null values. Here's my code This is my partial view:

Now here is my Model in my MoviesSearch view model:

And then i have this:
one thing that has been puzzling me since learning MVC2 is the following case scenario: I have a view which contains two latest news lists, a login form and a signup form. Every example I found on Views and View Models so far has a one-to-one example such as a simple login form etc. But how do I create a model that provides the properties and validation for a login and signup form and manages the data for the news lists. can I pass multiple models in the strongly typed view? When I created one model the form validation would fail as it expects all fields - login and signup to be filled. I am missing some advanced examples or information.
View 2 Repliesmaking my first steps with asp.net mvc and I actually create a (very) small website.I have 1 controller : TasksController1 view : Tasks/Index.aspx1 Partial View : Tasks/AvailableSorting.ascx In my controller I have 2 methods :

In my Tasks/Index.aspx, I add my partial view (<% Html.RenderPartial("AvaliableSorting"); %>)
That sounds simple. But, It just doesn't work : the Index return a list of Task and the parial view (should) return a list of string.The index.aspx works perfectly, but the partial view doesn't get the right model ! he gets the model of the Index page (list of Task).
I would like to add a partial view to my view page
The view page contain a mode name "<IEnumerable<JvTake1.Models.VortN>>
And the partial view contain a model name "<IEnumerable<JvTake1.Models.VideoL>>"

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 :
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<HexsolveMVC.Models.Document>" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
DetailsDocumentTemplate
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<div>
<div>
<div>

Published</div>
<h1>
Document Title: <span>
<%=Model.DocTitle %></span><span><a href="#">[ Edit ]</a></span></h1>
<ul>
<li>
<label>
<span>*</span>Created Date:</label>
<span>
<%= Model.DocCreatedDate%></span></li>
<li>

Status:</label>

I have a view that is not strongly typed. However I have in this view a partial view that is strongly typed.How do I do I pass the model to this strongly typed view?I tried something like
public ActionResult Test()
{
MyData = new Data();
MyData.One = 1;
return View("Test",MyData)
}
In my TestView
<% Html.RenderPartial("PartialView",Model); %>
This give me a stackoverflow exception. So I am not sure how to pass it on. Of course I don't want to make the test view strongly typed if possible as what happens if I had like 10 strongly typed partial views in that view I would need like some sort of wrapper.
I have 3 table:
student: ID,name,family
course: ID,name
studentCourse: ID,studentID,CourseID
and I want to show student name and family and a dropdownlist of courses in a create view.
which model should I use to create the view?I used viewModel but I don't know how to show this dropdownlist?
can I do something like this to get the Mode.check value in my view..
<script type="text/javascript">
var check = <%(Model.Check); %>;
$(document).ready(function () {
[code]...
I have a single model type to wrap up various models I want to use in my view:
View 5 RepliesThe class I created as a model is not listed in the "View data class" dropdown when I try to create a strongly typed view?
View 1 RepliesMy View inherits Models.MyModel
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="Something.Master" Inherits="Models.MyModel>" %>
I need a property Model.Something to be available in a HtmlHelper method when I call it from this view.
<%= Html.CustomHelper(...) %>
Is there any way to access this? Maybe via ViewContext or ViewDataDictionary?
I do not want to explicitly pass Model.SessionKey for each helper I call.
I have a ViewModel class: "MainPage" which contains 2 properties: Title, Id.I have a controller which prepares a list of MainPage and sends it to the view:
public ActionResult SideMenu()
{
MainPageDal dal = new MainPageDal();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt = dal.GetArticlesList();
List<MainPage> mainPageList = new List<MainPage>();
MainPage mainPage;
foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
mainPage = new MainPage(Convert.ToInt16(row["Id"]), row["Title"].ToString());
mainPageList.Add(mainPage);
}
return View(mainPageList);
}
In my view I do:
<% foreach (var mainPage in Model) { %>
Now I added "List<String> myList=new..." into my MainPage class and tried to do foreach like this:
Why I can't do: <% foreach (var str in Model.myList) { %>
myList is a list of string inside MainPage.The error I get is:
c:devMvcTestMvcTestViewsHomeSideMenu.aspx(12): error CS1061: 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<MvcTest.ViewModels.MainPage>' does not contain a definition for 'myList' and no extension method 'myList' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<MvcTest.ViewModels.MainPage>'
could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
In my controller I UpdateModel(model). That works. I'm getting the model from the view.I save the fields of the model to a business entity and save the entity through a business layer to my database. The business layer returns a unique record id which I store in my model. Then I pass the model to the View.
return View(model);
After the View loads the Model in the View has not been updated. The unique record id has not been changed. I have been at this for four hours and I'm not getting anywhere. I have been trying to convert a windows forms project to MVC2 for six weeks and it just gets more and more frustrating. None of the tutorials on the MS site or the Microsoft book I have answer any of my questions.
The class that I created as Model is not listed in the "View data class" dropdown while trying to creat a strongly typed view for it.
View 1 RepliesSuppose i have a Product and Category Model, In add new product page i want to list all categories in a listbox. For this purpose i require to have Product and Category model available to Add New Product Page View.
View 4 RepliesI have a partial view called experience that is basic html markup.
I have a page that contains rows of records (experience records) and one of the columns in these rows is an "edit" link column. When I click that link I want to pass the id of that row to a method that will package up the details of that row (linq query to the experience table using the passed in id).
(this is the important part) ...... I want the partial view (experience.ascx) along with its new Model containing the experience details to load in a modal dialog box rather than another page.
So here is what I would like to do. Lets say I have a view that can do multiple things, and thus talk to several different controllers. For example, it might create a new group, or change the name of an existing group, or add a user to some group. Now, for the view to display correctly, it would only need the username, a list of groups, and possibly a list of users. Yet for the controllers to work they would need a different set of information, the userid to be added to a group, the name of a new group, or the name and id of a group to edit.
With this setup, there would be a potential of several different models for both input to the view, and output to the different controllers. I like the idea of using the helpers Html.Textboxfor() ect. to create the different submission elements, but I don't so much like the idea of having one giant model (Even if it just a model that inherits or has several sub models) that gets passed around everywhere for this view. It seems...
Perhaps there is a better way to do this (if so, feel free to smacking me around with a few "Your and idiot"s) but is there any way to have a separate input and output model for a view?
So I have code as below
public ActionResult Create(AccountClassificationCreateViewModel ACCVM)
{
if (ACCVM.newMtn0130 == null)//Why ACCVM.newMtn0130 is null after [code]...
I wonder why the ACCVM.newMtn0130 become null after RedirectToAction? I already assign with "_ACCVM.newMtn0130 = newMtn0130".
ACCVM._Error didn't become null after RedirectToAction.
