Additional validation message displayed on mvc app - asp.net-mvc

I have a simple mvc web app, that is searching transactions in the DB using a specified search parameter(named RA number), now I decided to add jquery block ui on my app and I then realized the block fires even when an empty string("" single or double space bar in textbox) is entered.
I have data annotation in my RA view model, I then added an AllowEmptryStrings = false attribute on my view model property, see code below
public class SearchByRAViewModel
{
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter an RA number",AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
public string RANumber { get; set; }
}
Here is my action method from my controller code
public ActionResult SearchTollTransactions(SearchByRAViewModel raViewModel)
{
List<TollScrapingTransactionScreen> tollScrapingList = new List<TollScrapingTransactionScreen>();
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
tollScrapingList = GetTransactionByRA(raViewModel.RANumber);
ViewBag.RANumber = raViewModel.RANumber;
return View(tollScrapingList);
}
else
{
return View("Index");
}
}
My only problem now is, there seems to be an extra validation message displayed on the search page(index) if there is an empty string in the search text box, see screenshot
Here is my block ui section, in case someone wonders where it is
$('#btnSearch').click(function () {
// there should be at least a value for ra before firing the blockui
var raValue = $('#raNumber').val();
if (!raValue || raValue.trim() === '') {
return;
}
else {
$.blockUI();
}
});
This is the part of my view, which is inside the normal #using(Html.BegingForm)
<div class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">Search by RA number</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="col-sm-12">

#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.RANumber, new { #class = "form-control", #tabindex = 1, #id = "raNumber" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.RANumber)
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="btn-toolbar col-sm-12">
<input type="submit" value="Search Transaction" class="btn pull-right" tabindex="2" id="btnSearch" />

ASP.NET MVC - add to a viewmodel list and submit

I have an ASP.NET MVC program with an order/odc request form. I have a customer, order and order item model. What I want to do is allow the user to place an order for a list of items to be approved. I have the viewmodel being passed to the form/view with a few fields including a list of order item objects. I am able to dynamically add rows to the table which shows the list of order items but on submit there is nothing in the viewmodel list. What am I doing wrong? How do I pass the items entered into the table to the view so that I can submit to the database?
Controller
public ActionResult NewOdc()
{
var viewModel = new NewOdcViewModel()
{
OdcItems = new List<tblOdcItem>()
};
viewModel.OdcItems.Add(new tblOdcItem());
return View(viewModel);
}
I call this code from jQuery to add a new item to the list:
public ActionResult GetView(string rowCount)
{
tblOdcItem item = new tblOdcItem();
return PartialView("_OdcItemEditor", item);
}
And on submit I call this code:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult NewOdcSubmit(NewOdcViewModel viewModel)
{
_context.tblOdcs.Add(new tblOdc());
...
I'm using a foreach to go through the list and create a partial for each item.
View:
#using (Html.BeginForm("NewOdcSubmit", "Odc", FormMethod.Post))
{
if (Model != null)
{
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.OdcItems);
}
<div class="panel panel-info">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h2 class="panel-title">Enter New ODC</h2>

It submits to the controller but the odcitems list is always count = 0. Any help would be great. Thanks
Here is the javascript example, just use this function on add/delete operation to re-arrange name.
function RearangeName(){
var i = 0;
$("#submissionTable>tbody>tr").each(function () {
$(this).find("input").each(function () {
if ($(this).prop("name").indexOf('Quantity') > 0) {
$(this).attr('name', "OdcItems[" + i + "].Quantity");
}
if ($(this).prop("name").indexOf('Description') > 0) {
$(this).attr('name', "OdcItems[" + i + "].Description");
}
if ($(this).prop("name").indexOf('EstimatedCost') > 0) {
$(this).attr('name', "OdcItems[" + i + "].EstimatedCost");
}
});
i++;
});
}
the name should be matched with model property, so in partial view, you have set name as OdcItems[0].Quantity instead of Quantity[" + Model.ID + "].
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Quantity, new { #class = "text-box single-line", name = "OdcItems[0].Quantity", type = "text", value = "", required = "required" })
eg.
OdcItems[0].Quantity
OdcItems[1].Quantity
OdcItems[2].Quantity
....
OdcItems[n].Quantity

How do I update a specific database entry with a view model as controller method attribute

I have an input table in my website which is connected to a View Model. In the controller method, I pass this View Model to the controller and vice versa, meaning the controller populates the view model with data from the data base and the view returns a view model populated with form data the user might have entered.
The problem is that once the view received the view model object, the "ID" attribute from the database is no longer there. When the Post method is called, there is no way to know which database entry must be updated.
My question is: How do I update a specific database entry when I pass a view model to the controller method?
Example Controller Method:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult method(ViewModel vm)
{
DataContext.Context.Where(x => x.ID == vm.Object.ID) // this is where vm.Object.ID always returns "0", not the actual ID from the database entry
Context.SaveChanges();
return View(vm);
}
If you need more information, please let me know. Also, using jquery is not a viable option for this project. Thanks a lot for your help!

If you need to bind the ID to the Model then you need to use hidden filed under the form when you are using Razor.
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Id)
For more details
#using (Html.BeginForm("method", "ControllerName", FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.HiddenFor(Model=>Model.ID)
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email, new { #class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Email, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Button" />
</div>
</div>
}
Now you can access ID at your controller action method.
If you want to "save" the object ID and get it back when the post occurs, you need to store it into a hidden field using the .HiddenFor() HTML helper - something like this:
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Object.Id);
<div class="container">
<div class="jumbotron">
Then, upon your POST, you should get back the Object.ID in your post body and you should be able to tell which object this is for.

ERROR
The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'WebApplication15.Models.homePageDTO', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'WebApplication15.Models.BigViewModel'.
It was dissolved
My new action method
public ActionResult Post(int pid)
{
BigViewModel bigyorum = new BigViewModel();
bigyorum.home = new homePageDTO();
bigyorum.home.yazi = ent.Yazi.Where(x=>(x.YaziID==(int)pid)).ToList();
bigyorum.home.yorum = ent.Yorum.Where(x => (x.YorumNo == (int)pid)).ToList();
return View(bigyorum);
}
you need to change the model that is related in the view, in the first line of the view set this:
#model WebApplication15.Models.homePageDTO
I think homePageDTO is in the namespace WebApplication15.Models, if not, put the correct namespace.
With your update:
In your action, you are passing an object of type homePageDTO:
public ActionResult Post(int pid)
{
homePageDTO obj = new homePageDTO();
obj.yazi = ent.Yazi.Where(x=>(x.YaziID==(int)pid)).ToList();
obj.yorum = ent.Yorum.Where(x => (x.YorumNo == (int)pid)).ToList();
return View(obj);
}
and in your view, yo have:
#model WebApplication15.Models.BigViewModel
There are differents objects, the type of the object that you pass from the action to the view, must be the same that you declare in the view.
So, change the action to return a BigViewModel or change in your view to homePageDTO

Then show that Div when the submit button is clicked
My Controller looks like the following
public class PasswordController : Controller
{
private CCLPasswordManagementDBEntities db = new CCLPasswordManagementDBEntities();
public ActionResult Search(string searchString)
{
var users = from x in db.users select x;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(searchString))
{
users = users.Where(x => x.UserName.ToUpper().Contains(searchString.ToUpper()));
}
return View(users);
}
}
At the moment the div is constantly shown and updates when the submit button is pressed but I want to hide that div until someone presses the submit button then it can show.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Change your code in the controller to this:
public ActionResult Search(string searchString)
{
var users = from x in db.users select x;
ViewBag.ShowList = false;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(searchString))
{
ViewBag.ShowList = true;
users = users.Where(x => x.UserName.ToUpper().Contains(searchString.ToUpper()));
}
return View(users);
}
And change your view to this:
#model IEnumerable<WebApplication3.Models.user>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Password Management";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
#section title {<h1>#ViewBag.Title</h1>}
<div id="page-block" class="page-block-three row">
<div style="margin-top: 30px;" class="col-lg-offset-2 col-lg-8">
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div class="input-group">
#Html.TextBox("SearchString", null, new { #class = "form-control ccl-form", #style = "z-index: 10", #placeholder = "Enter Username"})
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn ccl-btn ccl-btn-red ccl-btn-search" type="submit"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
}
</div>
#if(ViewBag.ShowList){
<div class="col-lg-offset-3 col-lg-6">
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
<div class="details-block">
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.UserName)
<button type="button" class="btn ccl-btn ccl-btn-green ccl-btn-search pull-right">Select User</button>
</div>
}
</div>
}
</div>
You can try having a flag (ViewBag.isShown = false;)
When the page refreshes, it will show your div.
Code should be like below:
if (ViewBag.isShown == true)
{
..your for each block..
}

Partial View with self updating

I'm learning ASP.NET MVC and I've encountered a problem in my practice project (MVC Music Store). I have made a partial view to search for an artist. I expect the partial view to take no arguments and work on its own.
Partial view in the right half part
I have a view specific model for the Artist Search Partial View. The model is as follows:
public class ArtistSearch
{
public string SearchString { get; set; }
public List<Artist> SearchResult { get; set; }
public ArtistSearch()
{
SearchResult=new List<Artist>();
}
}
Controller code is as follows:
public ActionResult Search(string query)
{
ArtistSearch asResult = new ArtistSearch();
if (query != null)
{
var temp = from a in db.Artists
where a.Name.Contains(query)
select a;
asResult.SearchResult = temp.ToList();
asResult.SearchString = query;
}
return PartialView(asResult);
}
The Partial View is as follows:
#model MvcMusicStore.Models.ArtistSearch
<div class="big-search-box">
<form action="#Url.Action("Search","Artist")" method="post" role="form">
<div class="input-group">
#Html.TextBox("query", #Model.SearchString, new { #class = "form-control nrb input-lg", placeholder = "Input your search query..." })
<div class="input-group-btn">
<input type="submit" name="Send" value="Search" class="btn btn-primary btn-iconed btn-lg" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="big-search-result-info clearfix">
<div class="pull-left">Showing results for <strong>#Model.SearchString</strong>.</div>
<div class="pull-right"><strong>#Model.SearchResult.Count</strong> artist(s) found.</div>
</div>
<table>
#foreach (var item in #Model.SearchResult)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Name)
</td>
<td>
<a href="#item.Id" >
<img src=#item.PhotoURL alt=#item.Name style="width:100px;height:70px;">
</a>
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
I wish to place this partial view anywhere on the site. Lets say i placed it(using RenderAction) on Artist/Index Controllers View page.
The simple functionality that I'm trying to achieve is that when i click on search it should self update the partial view with search results. Right now it is transferring me to Artist/Search page.
Thanks for the patience.
Try to use Ajax.BeginForm, below is an example:
Action
public ActionResult Search(string query)
{
ArtistSearch asResult = new ArtistSearch();
if (query != null)
{
var temp = from a in db.Artists
where a.Name.Contains(query)
select a;
asResult.SearchResult = temp.ToList();
asResult.SearchString = query;
}
return PartialView("MyParitalView",asResult);
}
View
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js"></script>
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Search", "Home", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "result" }))
{
<div class="input-group">
#Html.TextBox("query", #Model.SearchString, new { #class = "form-control nrb input-lg", placeholder = "Input your search query..." })
<div class="input-group-btn">
<input type="submit" name="Send" value="Search" class="btn btn-primary btn-iconed btn-lg" />
</div>
</div>
}
<div id="result"></div>
Parital View : MyParitalView
#model MvcMusicStore.Models.ArtistSearch
