Should T be a for example Customer or CustomerViewModel ?
The annotations bound to Mvc namespace are on the ListViewModel so actually I could pass the Customer object. What do you think?
public class ListViewModel<T>
{
[Required(ErrorMessage="No item selected.")]
public int[] SelectedIds { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<T> DisplayList { get; set; }
}
UPDATE
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Open()
{
IEnumerable<Testplan> testplans = _testplanDataProvider.GetTestplans();
OpenTestplanListViewModel viewModel = new OpenTestplanListViewModel(testplans);
return PartialView(viewModel);
}
public class OpenTestplanListViewModel
{
public OpenTestplanListViewModel(IEnumerable<Testplan> testplans)
{
var testplanViewModels = testplans.Select(t => new TestplanViewModel
{
Name = string.Format("{0}-{1}-{2}-{3}", t.Release.Name, t.Template.Name, t.CreatedAt, t.CreatedBy),
TestplanId = t.TestplanId,
});
DisplayList = testplanViewModels;
}
[Required(ErrorMessage = "No item selected.")]
public int[] SelectedIds { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<TestplanViewModel> DisplayList { get; private set; }
}
public class TestplanViewModel
{
public int TestplanId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public class Testplan
{
public int TestplanId { get; set; }
public int TemplateId { get; set; }
public int ReleaseId { get; set; }
public string CreatedBy { get; set; }
public DateTime CreatedAt { get; set; }
public Template Template { get; set; }
public Release Release { get; set; }
}
T should ideally be a view model. Having a view model referencing domain models is some kind of a hybrid view model, not a real one. But if you think that in this specific case the domain model will be exactly the same as the view model then you could keep it as well.

Entity is:
public partial class Persons
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string? Name { get; set; }
public string? Surname { get; set; }
public string? Number { get; set; }
public string? Address { get; set; }
public string? PublicId { get; set; }
public string? FatherName { get; set; }
public string? MotherName { get; set; }
}
Also Model is:
public partial class OnlyPrivateProp
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string? Name { get; set; }
public string? Surname { get; set; }
}
And controller:
public class DemoController : Controller
{
_context c;
public DemoController(_context c)
{
this.c = c;
}
public IActionResult Index()
{
ET model= new ET();
var select = ..............
return View();
}
}
I dont want to use all data to display only three colunms. So I defined a model has three prop. But I cant pass data to model and cant select data and cant send controller.
You could create different ViewModel for different Views
The entities models are mapped to the tables in your database,you could check the documents related with EFCore
For your requirement,you could fill the viewmodel and pass the value to your View as below:
[Table("SomeTable")]
public class SomeEntity
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Prop1 { get; set; }
public string Prop2 { get; set; }
public string Prop3 { get; set; }
...........
}
public class ViewModel
{
public string Prop1 { get; set; }
public string Prop3 { get; set; }
}
public IActionResult SomeAction()
{
...........
var vmlist = _context.SomeEntity.Select(x => new ViewModel{ Prop1 = x.Prop1, Prop3 = x.Prop3 }).ToList();
return View(vmlist);
}

How do I map table value functions in Code with Entity Framework 6.3? I'm trying to a DB Context in code with an existing database, because EDMX is currently not supported in ASP.NET Core 3. I've tried setting up my DbContext clasee as below. I can successfully query the Grade table. But when I try to query my function "fn_GetCatgeories", I get the following error: No EdmType found for type 'WebApplication6.Data.ApplicationContext+fn_GetCategories'.
public class ApplicationContext : DbContext
{
public ApplicationContext(string cstr)
: base(cstr)
{
Database.SetInitializer<ApplicationContext>(null);
}
[Table("Grade")]
public class Grade
{
[Key]
public string Grade_ID { get; set; }
public string SchoolType { get; set; }
public int Sortorder { get; set; }
}
public partial class fn_GetCategories
{
public int Category_ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public Nullable<bool> Active { get; set; }
public Nullable<System.DateTime> Month { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> Order { get; set; }
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Conventions.Add(new FunctionsConvention<ApplicationContext>("dbo"));
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
}
[DbFunction("ApplicationContext", "fn_GetCategories")]
public IQueryable<fn_GetCategories> GetCategories(Nullable<System.DateTime> month)
{
var monthParameter = month.HasValue ?
new ObjectParameter("Month", month) :
new ObjectParameter("Month", typeof(System.DateTime));
return ((IObjectContextAdapter)this).ObjectContext.CreateQuery<fn_GetCategories>(string.Format("[0].{1}", GetType().Name, "[fn_GetCategories](#Month)"), monthParameter);
}
// DbSets here
public DbSet<Grade> Grades { get; set; }
}
This works:
public class ApplicationContext : DbContext
{
public ApplicationContext(string cstr)
: base(cstr)
{
Database.SetInitializer<ApplicationContext>(null);
}
[Table("Grade")]
public class Grade
{
[Key]
public string Grade_ID { get; set; }
public string SchoolType { get; set; }
public int Sortorder { get; set; }
}
public partial class fn_GetCategories_Result
{
[Key]
public int Category_ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public Nullable<bool> Active { get; set; }
public Nullable<System.DateTime> Month { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> Order { get; set; }
}
// DbSets here
public DbSet<Grade> Grades { get; set; }
public DbSet<fn_GetCategories_Result> fn_GetCategoriesSet { get; set; }
public List<fn_GetCategories_Result> fn_GetCategories(DateTime month)
{
var m = new SqlParameter("Month", DateTime.Now);
return this.fn_GetCategoriesSet.SqlQuery("select * from dbo.fn_GetCategories(#month)", m).ToList();
}
Relatively new to MVC and can't figure out how to pass data from multiple models into a single view. I know I need to use a view model, but I can't figure out what to do in the controller.

ViewModelController? :
public class ViewModelController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /ViewModel/
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
I'm stuck on how to create the controller for the viewmodel and how to actually get the data into the view. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Don't have a controller called ViewModelController. Controller is the handler between database and the view. Therefore the name of the controller should tell the programmer what kind of data the controller is controlling. By default, it also indicates the subsite you are in your web application ( ViewModelController would yield http://mysite/ViewModel/ ).
Since you are handling children, I'm calling it ChildrenController for now.
Generally a good idea is to wrap your 2 models into one viewmodel and work with that. In this case Model != ViewModel, model is the database model of the entity while ViewModel is the one that's passed to/from the view.
public class Child
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
}
public class SomeOtherModel
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public int SomeInteger { get; set; }
public int SomeOtherInteger { get; set; }
}
public class ChildViewModel
{
public Child Child { get; set; }
public SomeOtherModel SomeOtherModel { get; set; }
public ChildViewModel(Child child, SomeOtherModel s)
{
Child = child;
SomeOtherModel = s;
}
}
In your controller
public class ChildrenController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /Children/
public ActionResult Index()
{
Child child = /*Fetch the child from database*/;
SomeOtherModel someOther = = /*Fetch something else from database*/;
ChildViewModel model = new ChildViewModel(child,someOther);
return View(model);
}
}
View:
#model ChildViewModel
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Child.FirstName)
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Child.LastName)
I have the following entity model:
public class Project
{
[Key]
public int ProjectID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Slug { get; set; }
public string Content { get; set; }
public string Category { get; set; }
public string Client { get; set; }
public int Year { get; set; }
// more attributes here...
}
I would like to prepare a view model (specific for my view). Here is the view model:
public class ProjectListViewModel
{
public IEnumerable<ProjectInfos> ProjectList { get; set; }
public PagingInfo Paging { get; set; }
public class ProjectInfos
{
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Slug { get; set; }
public string Content { get; set; }
public string Category { get; set; }
public string Client { get; set; }
public int Year { get; set; }
}
public class PagingInfo
{
public int TotalItems { get; set; }
public int ItemsPerPage { get; set; }
public int CurrentPage { get; set; }
public int TotalPages { get; set; }
}
}
In my controller, I would like to prepare the view model by filling it with 2 different objects:
List of projects
Paging information
Here is my controller:
public ViewResult List(string category, int page = 1)
{
IEnumerable<Project> projectList = m_Business.GetProjects(category, page, 10);
PagingInfo pagingInfo = m_Business.GetPagingInfo(category, page, 10);
// Here I need to map !!
ProjectListViewModel viewModel = .....
return View(viewModel);
}
So how can I proceed in my controller? I know we can use automapper to map from one object to another but here I need to map from two objects into a single one.
Thanks.
You can extend AutoMapper to map multiple objects.
Here is a blog which provides some sample cope.
Then you can use code like this:
var personViewModel = EntityMapper.Map<PersonViewModel>(person, address, comment);
My problem started when I wrap three classes
the first class is
[Bind(Exclude="ID")]
public class Material
{
public string MaterialName { get; set; }
}
the second class is
[Bind(Exclude="ID")]
public class ExameState
{
public string ExamState { get; set; }
}
the third class is
[Bind(Exclude="ID")]
public class Exams
{
public string ExamsName { get; set; }
public DateTime CreationDate { get; set; }
public DateTime StartingDate { get; set; }
public int Period { get; set; }
public int ExamStateID { get; set; }
public int MaterialID { get; set; }
public int GroupID { get; set; }
public int QuestionState { get; set; }
public int TeacherID { get; set; }
public int ExamMarkState { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
}
wrapper class is
public class Examswrapper
{
public Material material { get; set; }
public ExameState examstate { get; set; }
public Exam exam { get; set; }
}
I need to display dropdownlist for Material with datavalue=MaterialName
and key=ID in view build on Examswrapper class
I am trying this
how to make it
and thank you for your advice
new error :
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
There is a problem with your view model because the Material property should be a collection if you want a drop down list. Also your Material class is missing an ID property. So:
public class Material
{
public string ID { get; set; }
public string MaterialName { get; set; }
}
public class ExamsViewModel
{
public string SelectedMaterialId { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Material> Materials { get; set; }
... // some other properties
}
and then in your strongly typed view:
<%= Html.DropDownListFor(
// This is the property that will hold the selected value
x => x.SelectedMaterialId,
// Build the select list based on the Model.Materials collection
new SelectList(
Model.Materials.Select(material => new SelectListItem
{
Value = material.ID,
Text = material.MaterialName
}),
"Value", "Text"
)
) %>
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.material,
Model.material.Select(
x => new SelectListItem
{
Text = x.MaterialName,
Value = x.Id
}
))
