MVC :: Create Action Not Carrying Model Across To Http Action
Jun 12, 2010
My httppost action doesnt seem to have received my model. The code is below;
[Code]....
i put a breakpoint on the line; return RedirectToAction("Error", "Dashboard"); and i found that appQualif carried no values whatsoever from the form i submitted..
I'm a newbie into MVC and I am like only on chapter 7 in ASP.NET MVC Unleashed so be easy with m
[Code]....
how do I tell Create Button to send to an Action named Create and to Edit to an Action named Edit on the same form?I guess it is possible on ASP.NET MVC if it is possible on ASP.NET Webforms
I'm implement Comet in Asp.net MVC, I used timer to keep Async request in server, Async request will complete when timer elapsed 1 minute and response to client (to avoid 404 error) and then reconnect to Async Controller. I also wanna execute some Synchronous action during Async request was holding, but the problem is: When an Async action was executed and hold by using timer, the Sync Action wasn't called until Async action (comet long-live request) completed. I did test with firefox 3.6 many times, but the result is the same, so strange, Do you know why ? I have a sub some questions : To implement comet, using timer (response after some minutes elapsed) or thread (response after several time sleeping thread) to hold async request, which is better?
I am desiging a master and details page from a search page..user can search for something and I need to display the result in jqgrid if the result has more than 1 row or record.. if the result is just one record then i have to directly send then to details page by skiping grid page... I do have an action method for results page and one more action method for Jqgrid data..i am trying to check the row count for the database result and trying to redirect to details action results..but its not working at all..and showing an empty jqgrid..
Lets say I have a simple controller for ASP.NET MVC I want to test. I want to test that a controller action (Foo, in this case) simply returns a link to another action (Bar, in this case).How would you test TestController.Foo? (either the first or second link)
My implementation has the same link twice. One passes the url throw ViewData[]. This seems more testable to me, as I can check the ViewData collection returned from Foo(). Even this way though, I don't know how to validate the url itself without making dependencies on routing.The controller:
public class TestController : Controller { public ActionResult Foo()[code].....
i wonder something about mvc post method. for example I created a view "strongly typed" from a model (MyModel).
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Demo1.Models.MyModel>" %> for Create actionsthere is two way. first one takes MyModel as parameter [HttpPost] public ActionResult cart(MyModel md, int someID) { //some code //..... return View(MyModel); } second one does not take parameter as model. [HttpPost] public ActionResult cart(int someID) { //some code //..... return View(Mymodel); }
for first one way, after form post the form values does not delete, I mean form does not cleared,after second one form is be cleared. why this diffirence?
I'm trying to implement paging in my app, so i need to know what page the user wants to click on, as well as pass the model (for some fields)I'm able to pass the desired page, just not the model (for the search criteria)here is my view:
[Code]....
Heres my Controller Action
[Code]....
My ViewModel SearchResults has a string property "Search". When i do it this way searchModel == null in the NextPage Action.
I have need to provide a URL to a controller and action in one of my model classes. Is this possible to do with out providing the entire webaddress as well?
How can I unit test an action which alters the Http Response object? I haven't been able to solve this. I can mock the object but can't see how I can check the value after the action runs. I set the Response.StatusCode when errors occur in ajax requests and need to check it has been set in the unit test. The only alternative I can see is to change all my actions to return json objects with a IsSuccessful flag or similar.
public class BandProfileModel { public BandModel Band { get; set; } public IEnumerable<Relationship> Requests { get; set; } } and the following form: <% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %> <%: Html.EditorFor(m => m.Band) %> <input type="submit" value="Save Band" /> <% } %> which posts to the following action: public ActionResult EditPost(BandProfileModel m, string band) { // stuff is done here, but m is null? return View(m); }
Basically, I only have one property on my model that is used in the form. The other property in BandProfleModel is just used in the UI for other data. I'm trying to update just the Band property, but for each post, the argument "m" is always null (specifically, the .Band property is null). It's posting just fine to the action, so it isn't a problem with my route. Just the data is null.
The ID and name attributes of the fields are BAND_whatever and Band.whatever (whatever being a property of Band), so it seems like it would work. What am I doing wrong? How can I use just one property as part of a form, post back, and have values populated via the model binder for my BandProfileModel property in the action?
Movie has fields Id, Name. View is displaying name only in textbox. When button is clicked, the above action method's movie is populates with the updated name value but Id is 0, actually that record's id is 4. Thatswhy my updating of record is not working. Why MVC is putting 0 into id?
I've been using Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") to invoke child actions across controllers without needing to have the view in ViewsShared. This has been working great for displaying things like session or cookie information.
Instead of just accessing cookies, I would like to pass additional parameters to Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") so the action can execute different code based on the the data passed to the original view.
Should I be using a different method to pass parameters to a child action in a different controller?
I'm trying to add file upload functionality to a page. I've got a form that posts the selected file to a controller with a 'savefile' method. But if I don't add a get version of 'savefile' I'll get a 404 error. Here is the form code which is presented on the Index page:
[Code]....
And here is the controller code:
[Code]....
Intuitively I don't think I should need a GET version of SaveFile but if omit it I get a 404 error when the form posts. Why should I need a GET version of SaveFile when all I want is to post a form and save the file?
I saw a post with posibble problems with Model Binding which is mentioned here. [URL]. Whats the best approach to this? Different approaches are below. [Code]....
Having alot of startup issues with MVC - I really like the idea behind it all, and the way it works, but still lacking some essential skills, WebForms is much more natural to me. Just to simplify my problem.
I have a "Blog" page with "Posts" which needs a "Comments" systems. In my blog view "/Post/Details/{id}" I'm showing all data for the "Post" model. So at the bottom I need to loop and display all comments, this is fine:
[Code]....
Now I want a form/input where you can submit a new comment. This is the problem, how do I implement that, tried everything! How do I catch that form submit in Details action in my PostController?
I have a controller with a bunch of actions as such:
[Code]....
I'm looking for a way to find out which action invoked the other: for instance, when redirecting to Action1, I need to know whether it is coming from clicking "next" button at Action0 or clicking "back" button at Action2. This is is to avoid performing Action1 twice (My app is like a wizard, if I click back button at Action2, I don't want to execute Action1 again).
i am making a forum application using MVC 2. I have a ForumController which has Index and Create Actions. The Get Create Action returns View and the Post Create Action takes an argument of type "ForumEntry". When i generate create view i make sure that i check "create strongly typed view" and i select models.ForumEntry Model and NOT the models.Forum Model. The Forum model is ADO.NET enitity model that maps to Forum Table. I want to catch ForumEntry type into my Create Post action but mysteriously i get a Forum Object. I have verified this by returning Content When :
[HttpPost] Public ActionResult Create(ForumEntry entryToCreate) { return Content (entryToCreate.Title); // No Output }
When
[HttpPost] Public ActionResult Create(Forum entryToCreate) { return Content (entryToCreate.Title); // output == new entry that i typed in the create form }
I am baffled as the create Form is of type FormEntry. Here is the code for create View
