To Get The EditorForModel / Want To Use A SelectList Instead Of A TextBox For Status?
Jul 1, 2010
I have written an Enum extension method that allows me to create a view model and allows me to easily bind a generic Enum to a SelctList like:this.ProductStatusList = new ProductStatusTypes().BindToSelectList<ProductStatusTypes>
(product.Status.ToString());
In my View I can then have:
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
<fieldset> [code]...
Notice I am using EditorForModel and then a seperate DropDownList. My question is: Is there a way to get the EditorForModel to be clever enough to pick up that I want to use a SelectList instead of a TextBox for status?

I watched the intro video atleast 20 times trying to figure out how Phil used EditorForModel instead of the generated Edited fields when using Add View > View content(Edit).
How do you use a class (entity) instead of the generated fields?

In my LogOnViewModel.cs :[Code]....I have this code, and on the view control, i call <%: Html.EditorForModel()%>
Then I have something like this look:
UserName:|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| <- TextBox
Password:||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| <- TextBox
ㅁ <- Checkbox
||Login|| <- submit button
how do i change the layout of this template? I want to change the text and change the position of the textboxes.I know that I can customize it by calling individual fields and write hard-coding, but I am curious if there is a way to use EditorForModel() in easier.

I am learning MVC using the v2 release with Entity Framework v4. Let's say I have 3 objects Game, Points and Players. They are related in the following manner:Game has points and the Points can have a player associated with them ( 1 Game to many Points and a Point object can have one Player).
I am attempting to use the EditTemplates feature in MVC2 to render my views. In my Game Edit view I want to have the basic Game object information editable, and also the related Points objects. Currently I am utilizing "`<%= Html.EditorForModel() %>`"(Which seems pretty slow) to render the Edit View and then I have a specific Game and Point EditTemplates.
The data renders correctly and is editable for both the Game and Point information. When I go to perform the update and submit the form I receive the "Game" object in my Update ActionResult. The basic properties are populated for the Game object but any deep properties such as Points are not; they appear as null. If I look at the Request.Form variables in debug I can see the Points fields are being passed to the server but do not place themselves back into the Game object.
In my Game EditTemplate I am using the following to render the Points objects:
<%= Html.EditorFor(c => c.Points) %>
My Points EditTemplate looks like: [code]...
why this is rendering as "Points.Points[index] instead of Points[index]? I tried messing with the parameters in the EditFor:
<%= Html.EditorFor(c => c.Points,null,"Points") %>
but then the inputs render as Points.Points[index]

How can I use DisplayForModel in a loop with a View for which I've passed a collection of objects? That is, within the loop I want to call DisplayForModel each time for the specific object (not the collection). Or does MVC not currently support this?
So I'll like to be able to do something like in the below, but this itself doesn't work.

I've been tinkering with the Nerddinner tutorial (upgraded to the new MVC 2.0 version actually) and I am trying to figure out how to dynamically hide/show fields in the EditorForModel template.I have added a new field to the model and a dropdown list for it in the editor, and I would like to be able to toggle the visibility on a couple of textboxes if a user selects a particular value from the dropdown list.
I did manage to access/manipulate the values of the textboxes using javascript (by altering the "onblur" example in the tutorial app), but couldn't figure out how to access the properties of them.

i am working an asp.net mvc 2 web app using model metadata and some of the model metadata don't seem to work when using the default Html.EditorForModel().For example, when applying the DefaultValue(1) and the ReadOnly(true) attributes on a model field, the field displayed on edit view has zero for its default value and it is not read only.

I followed MVC 2 source to create a CheckBoxList helper.
I was able to identify the problem I am having but not able to solve it.
On my view I have the following:

The problem is in the bold part ...
The newSelectList is equal to selectList but all items were deselected.
What am I missing?

I'm working on a MVC3 web application. I want a list of categories shown when editing a blo from whe applications managements system. In my viewmodel i've got the following property defined for a list of selectlistitems for categories.
/// <summary>
/// The List of categories
/// </summary>
[Display(Name = "Categorie")]
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Categories { get; set; }
The next step, my controller contains the following edit action where the list of selectlistitems is filled from the database.
public ActionResult Edit(Guid id)
{
var blogToEdit = _blogService.First(x => x.Id.Equals(id));
var listOfCategories = _categorieService.GetAll();
var selectList = listOfCategories.Select(x =>new SelectListItem{Text = x.Name, Value = x.Id.ToString(), Selected = x.Id.Equals(blogToEdit.Category.Id)}).ToList();
selectList.Insert(0, new SelectListItem{Text = Messages.SelectAnItem, Value = Messages.SelectAnItem});
var viewModel = new BlogModel
{
BlogId = blogToEdit.Id,
Active = blogToEdit.Actief,
Content = blogToEdit.Text,
Title = blogToEdit.Titel,
Categories = selectList //at this point i see the expected item being selected
//Categories = new IEnumerable<SelectListItem>(listOfCategories, "Id", "Naam", blogToEdit.CategorieId)
};
return View(viewModel);
}
When i set a breakpoint just before the view is being returned, i see that the selectlist is filled as i expected. So at this point everything seems to be okay. The viewmodel is filled entirely correct.
Then in my view (i'm using Razor) i've got the following two rules which are supposed to render the selectlist for me.
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Categories) @Html.DropDownListFor(model=>model.Categories, Model.Categories, Model.CategoryId)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Categories)
When I run the code and open the view to edit my blog, I can see all the correct data. Also the selectlist is rendered correctly, but the item i want to be selected lost it's selection. How can this be? Until the point the viewmodel is being returned with the view everything is okay. But when i view the webpage in the browser, the selectlist is there only with out the correct selection. What am I missing here? Or doing wrong?

I cannot get my code to work with the usual workarounds. I have a model which exposes a SelectList and a value for the selected item in it. The list is built like: new SelectList(persons, "Id", "Name");
where persons is an array of type Person with a *string* property named Id and a string property named Name. My model has a SelectList property returning a list built as shown, and a SelectedPersonId *string* property which should be updated by the dropdown. Here's my view code:
Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.SelectedPersonId, Model.PersonList)
I can see the persons in the dropdown and select one item, but the model's SelectedPersonId property never gets updated (I get a null). Of the two workarounds I found googling around, one stated to build the SelectList in the model, using the constructor shown above; another recommended to ensure that the selected value is a string. I did both, but still it does not work.

I had been building my SelectLists in the View, but I found examples doing it in code that I liked better. Now I'm creating one of my SelectLists like this:
[Code]....
And all is good, but I'm not sure how to do two things. First, I'd like to add an initial SelectListItem that prompts the user to select a value. When instantiating the SelectList in a loop this is easy, but I was hoping to keep this approach. The second problem is setting the default selected item. In the constructor it shows the 4th parameter to be used for this purpose, but I'm not certain how to do it. There's a property of this object named "DefaultView". It's a boolean, and I'd like that to determine the selected state. Is this possible?

I'm writing an HTTP handler in ASP.NET 4.0 and IIS7 and I need to generate a file-not-found condition.
I copied the following code from Mathew McDonald's new book, Pro ASP.Net 4 in C# 2010. (The response variable is an instance of the current HttpResponse.)
response.Status = "File not found";
response.StatusCode = 404;
However, I found that the first line generates the run-time error HTTP status string is not valid.
If, instead of the lines above, I use the following:
response.Status = "404 Not found";
Then everything seems to work fine. In fact, I even see that response.StatusCode is set to 404 automatically.
My problem is that I don't want this to fail on the production server. So I'd feel much better if I could understand the "correct" way to accomplish this. Why did the first approach work for Mathew McDonald but not for me? And is the second approach always going to be reliable?

I'm having problems retrieving the values of a selectlist in my form collection. I've tried making a viewmodel with an attribute with the same name as the select list.
I'm honestly just realizing I REALLY don't understand how model binding works with selectlists. I've just been assuming that the following conventions apply:
Name the select list the same thing as the attribute on the model you want it to bind to. Apart from that, I really don't get it. I've looked at several books on it and they're useless frankly. How does a select list work with a) form collection and b) a particular model?

I can currently populate and display a Drop Down using the following model annotations, viewmodel, and custom Editor template - but am having problems persisting the submission (more on that below):
//Domain
Public class Person
{
public string FirstName {get;set;}
public string LastName {get;set;}
public string ClassName {get;set;}
public int ClassId {get;set;}
...
}
//ViewModel
Public class PersonViewModel
{
public Person Person {get;set;}
Like I mentioned, the above works fine - as in the drop down is displayed properly, but obviously in its current state it's not saving the classID (or name) to the Person entity, I understand the problem but not sure how to fix it.
My questions:
How can I save the selected value from the drop down to the Person entity
How can I save both the ID and the Name into the Person entity - I'm guessing only way is a hidden field that gets populated with an onchange event (this sounds weird, I'm sure, but it's being stored in a document DB, so it's not normalized - I may just store Name in the end)
