C# - Bind A Checkbox List To A Model Or Array Of Data
Feb 3, 2011
I am looking here to find a quick and easy way to bind a list of checkbox list items when the postback occurs in the model. Apparently the common way to do it now seems to do it like this form.GetValues("checkboxList")[0].Contains("true"); It seems painfull and not exactly safe. Is there a way to bind a list of checkbox (that are created with or without an helper in the view) or even an array of data for that matters during the UpdateModel(myViewModel, form.ToValueProvider()); phase which would populate an IList<string> or string[] inside of the model ?
I am trying here to find a simple solution to bind an array of elements to a model using the MVC model binder. If I use the @Html.Checkbox helper now, it will generate me something like this :
[Code]....
I should be ok as it manage the checked in state and not checked in. The problem here is when I try to bind it back to the model (something really simple)
[Code]....
In the controller I try to bind it with the UpdateModel()
[Code]....
When I debug, the chk variable in the model is still null. I tried with IList<string>, bool[], IList<bool> nothing seems to make it. Is there any other way to deal with this else than form.GetValues("chk")[0].Contains("true") ?
For a large fillin form I use the asp.net FormView for the magic databinding to my model. In this model I've a property called Rides (shown below), which exposes a list, which I obviously not want to be replaced entirely. So I made it readonly.
However, this way I can't use the databinding features anymore. Is there a common solution for this problem?
I am trying to make a post that should use the Default Model Binder functionality in ASP.NET MVC 2 but unfortunately I can't get through. When I click on the checkout button I populate a form dinamically using jQuery code and then submit this form to the server. This is the form that get submitted
This is the jQuery code that handle the submit event for the form $("#cartForm").submit(function (event) { event.preventDefault(); var form = $("#cartForm"); var panel = form.parent(); panel.parent().block(); $.ajax({ type: "post", dataType: "html", url: '<%: Url.Content("~/Order/Checkout") %>', async: false, data: form.serialize(), success: function (response, status, xml) { panel.parent().unblock(); }, error: function (response) { panel.parent().unblock(); } }); });
This is the controller action that should be get called [HttpPost] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public virtual ActionResult Checkout( CartModel cart ) { } And finally this is the CartModel class involved public class CartModel : BaseModel{ public int CustomerID { get; set; } public int FirmID { get; set; } public List<CartItemModel> CartItems { get; set; } public CartModel() { CartItems = new List<CartItemModel>(); } } public class CartItemModel : BaseModel { public int ServiceTypeID { get; set; } public int Quantity { get; set; } }
But the default Model Binder does not bind the web form data to a CartModel class. Using Fiddler I have been able to see that the data sent to the server is correct as you can see from the following snapshot.
Iam getting an array of list from database to client side(javascript array). Now my aim to place those values in a div one by one and that div should attach to the textbox similar to Autocomplete extender.
I have a dropdownlist in datalist. I use arraylist to bind the datalist. In arraylist it is "DataNew" Class which has the property of DataTable "dt_city". Now I bind the DataTable to dropdownlist
Line73: <tr> Line 74: <td style="width: 100px; height: 24px"> Line 75: <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" Line 76: SelectedValue='<%# DataBinder.Eval(((DataNew)Container.DataItem).dt_city,"city") %>'> Line 77: </asp:DropDownList></td>
But I got the error of: Server Error in '/AFIRS' Application. DataBinding: 'System.Data.DataTable' does not contain a property with the name 'city'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: DataBinding: 'System.Data.DataTable' does not contain a property with the name 'city'.
I have a parent View that uses a few partial views. Each partial view has its own custom model. The parent View is a model containing each of the partial view's model. In other words this parent View model is NOT flat.
How do i get POST data to bind with the parent's model object? Do i have to write a custom model binder?
Update I'm not binding to a collection of objects of the same type (ie: a collection of uploaded files). I'm binding to object that contains multiple of objects. For example:
I have a Datagrid with 2 textbox template columnsand two checkbox template columns. I have two other Textbox controls and two CheckBox controls. I have an Add button.
I want to be able to use the add button to update Datagrid Record inserting the Textbox control texts and the Checkbox Control status.
i have an string data array which contains data like this
5~kiran 2~ram 1~arun 6~rohan
now a method returns an value like string [] data public string [] names()
{ return data.Toarray() } public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } ) List<Person> persons = new List<Person>(); string [] names =names();
now i need to copy all the data from an string array to an list<person> and finally bind to grid view
Person class contains data objects such as first name, last name etc.
I want to add all first names to a dropdownlist. How can i do that? I tried doing it like this, but it won't get the first names:
ddl_traders.DataSource = traders;
EDIT
Person has the following string fields: FirstName, LastName, login.
I want the dropdownlist to display FirstName, but the value has to be the logins. I'm fairly certain that is possible, although I have no idea how it can be done.
how to set checkbox status Checked in gridview when in detabase column "type = Y" and when "type =N" that time checked is uncheked on rowdata bount of gridview
I been working on a simple site today and when I found myself surprised about this. I got a object model that gone have like a lot of emails to it so I thought Ill do a string array to keep them, then I paused and tried to figure how do I save that to a database and how do I work with this? I always found myself working with collections of objects instead. So I'm kinda embaries to say this but how do I work with this? can I save a array to database
I have a requirement in my application that, while saving the application, need to get all the value from drop down list and pass it to the view model. But application should not allow the user to select more than one item from drop down list manually, ie, only one value at a time. My view model is like ...
public class ListManagement { public IEnumerable<selectListItem> InactiveProduct { get; set; } public string[] InactiveProductSelected { get; set; } public IEnumerable<selectListItem> ActiveProduct { get; set; } }
I have an array that I want to bind to a repeater. It's a single dimensional array, and I simply want to post the values of that array to a repeater. I tried binding directly from the array but I couldn't get it to work right, so I looked around and found that I should maybe use a hashtable. I'm thinking that I can sort the array appropriately, then feed the array into the hashtable as is. The problem is, though, the key order in the hashtable doesn't match the values in the array. Here's the code:
[Code]....
So if my sorted array is 1,2,3,4,5, for some reason the hastable doesn't have the keys in the same order. Is there someway to sort the hashtable so that the key order is sequential when I bind the repeater, or is there a better way to handle this?
