Binder for long{} in MVC - asp.net-mvc

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public JsonActionResult <BaseAsyncResponse> Add(long[] IdList)
{
for (int i = 0; i < IdList.Length; i++)
{
// do something
}
}
var o = {
url: addButton.action.url,
method: addButton.action.method,
params: {
'IdList': Ext.encode(allIds)
}
};
Ext.Ajax.request(o);
I am trying to pass a long[] to code behind from an Ajax call. The IdList currently comes in as a string which I convert into a JsonArray. Is there a ways to use the bind attribute ?

If you want to use DefaultModelBinder your request content should look like:
IdList[0]=100&IdList[1]=200&IdList[2]=300&IdList[3]=400&...&IdList[n]=...

MVC - Html.BeginForm. My action method does not recieve argument

I am trying to save data to my model.
Here is my Action method for doing that:
...
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UpdateSectionInformation(SectionInformation sectionInformation) {
ViewBag.SectionUpdatedSuccesfully = true;
SectionInformation s = sectionInformation;
// Save settings to database.
using (var session = MvkStorage.GetSession()) {
var client = new MvkSectionStorageHandler(session);
try {
client.SaveOrUpdateSection(s.Section);
client.SaveOrUpdateSectionReschedulingRelations(s.RescheduleFromRelations);
client.SaveOrUpdateSectionReschedulingRelations(s.RescheduleToRelations);
} catch (Exception) {
ViewBag.SectionUpdatedSuccesfully = false;
}
}
return View("Index", s);
}
Here is the Html.BefinForm "declaration" (the controller name is SectionController):
#using(Html.BeginForm("UpdateSectionInformation", "Section", FormMethod.Post)) {
It seems like the problem is that the UpdateSectionInformation get an empty model. How should I solve that? I am new to MVC and I really don´t get where UpdateSectionInformation is called.
I have seen something about Html.HiddenFor, should I use that here?:
#for (int i = 0; i < Model.RescheduleFromRelations.Count(); i++ ) {
var relation = Model.RescheduleFromRelations.ElementAt(i);
var relationId = relation.FromSection.ToString() + relation.ToSection.ToString();
...
Edit: Problem solved thanks to comment

How i get list from get in javascript

$(document).ready(function () {
$(".discussion").on("click", function () {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var url = "/Chat/GetMessages/" + id;
$.get(url, null, function (data) {
var htm = "";
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
htm += data[i].Content;
}
$("#messages").html(htm);
});
});
});
public ICollection<Message> GetMessages(int id)
{
var messages = this.disService.GetById(id).Messages;
return messages.ToList();
}
I want to show the collection from the function in controller in html. I do get request but the data from the request doesm't contain the data.
Now I have a
A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.HashSet`1[[Forum.Model.Message, Forum.Model, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]'.
You have to return json as :
public JsonResult GetMessages(int id)
{
var messages = this.disService.GetById(id).Messages;
return Json(messages,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet)
}
Change your method to return JSON
public JsonResult GetMessages(int id)
{
...
return Json(messages, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Edit
With the respect to the error message you indicated in your edit, you likely have circular references in your object hierarchy which is not supported by the JSON serializer. If you don't need all properties, you could only return what you want (it looks like you are using only the Content property of Messages), for example
return Json(new
{
Content = messages.Content,
AnotherProperty = messages.AnotherProperty // if you need any other properties of Message class
}, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
which has the added benefit of reducing the data being returned

ASP.NET MVC 4 - posting JSON data from any page on the client side to the server

I need to post JSON data from the client to the application ASP.NET MVC 4, but the javascript code is run by user and transfer data from the site www.lotsalneschs.com to my server. For testing I used Google Chrome console panel.
Controller code:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult Save(List<NewsModel> items)
{
return Json(null);
}
}
public class NewsModel
{
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Content { get; set; }
public List<string> Tags { get; set; }
}
Javascript code:
function News() {
var arr = {};
var title = "items";
var tTitle = "Title";
var cTitle = "Content";
var tgTitle = "Tags";
arr[title] = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var n = {};
n[tTitle] = "Title №" + i;
n[cTitle] = "TEXT";
n[tgTitle] = [];
for (var j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
n[tgTitle].push("tag" + j);
}
arr[title].push(n);
}
return arr;
}
var news = News();
$.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost:28369/Home/Save',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json',
data: JSON.stringify(news)
});
If I execute the script while being on the page localhost:28369/Home/Index everything works perfectly:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/RL1nR.png
  But the execution of this script on any other page, for example stackoverflow.com does not break at the same breakpoint.
If I delete contentType in the script, get the following:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/4Hcyn.png
If I delete contentType and not use JSON.stringify to format my data, get the following:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/F1Ql7.png
How to fix this problem?
I think it has to do with your URL being hard coded to localhost. Try replacing your line
url: 'http://localhost:28369/Home/Save',
with
url: '#Url.Action("Save", "Home")',
Edit:
Thinking about it you should see what path is generated by the Url.Action. I think the issue is being run from a different server local host is pointing to that server and not your computer. If the Url.Action doesn't work then you should point it to a public facing address.

JSON collection of objects isn't binding correctly

I have a website where I am uploading an Excel document to the server through AJAX (Telerik control). When the document is uploaded it will return a JSON object collection of currency exchange rates. I then save that collection using the jQuery $.data() method. Then I call the grid to bind and pass my JSON object to my controller to bind the data to the grid. Everything seems to be working up to the point where the Action on the controller binds to the collection.
What am I missing, notice how the response from SelectImportedCurrencyRates returns '1/1/1' for dates, country code is 'null' and the exchange rate is '0'. When I Debug and check the bound object ICollection<CurrencyExchangeRate> currencyRatesImported, its bound with those values as '0', '1/1/1' and null
Controller
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadRates(HttpPostedFileBase importRateDocument)
{
var rates = CurrencyExchangeRateRepository.ReadExcelRates(importRateDocument.InputStream, importRateDocument.FileName);
return Json(rates);
}
[HttpPost]
[GridAction]
public ActionResult SelectImportedCurrencyRates([Bind(Prefix = "CurrencyRatesImported")] ICollection<CurrencyExchangeRate> currencyRatesImported)
{
return View(currencyRatesImported != null ?
new GridModel(currencyRatesImported) :
new GridModel(new List<CurrencyExchangeRate>()));
}
Javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
function onUploadRatesSuccess(e) {
$('body').data('CurrencyRatesImported', e.response);
var grid = $('#CurrencyExchangeRates').data('tGrid');
grid.ajaxRequest();
}
function onCurrencyRatesImportedDataBinding(args) {
var currencyRatesImported = $('body').data('CurrencyRatesImported');
console.log(currencyRatesImported);
args.data = $.extend(args.data, { CurrencyRatesImported: currencyRatesImported });
args.data = args.data;
}
e.Response passed to onUploadRatesSuccess (result from ActionResult UploadRates()

Binding call to SelectImportedCurrencyRates
Response from SelectImportedCurrencyRates
CurrencyExchangeRate class
[Serializable()]
public class CurrencyExchangeRate
{
public string CountryCode
{
get;
set;
}
public System.DateTime Date
{

}
public double ExchangeRate

}
}
The problem was in the serialization of the collection I was sending up. It was passing an array up, instead of a serialized JSON object.
Here is what the serialization method should look like.
function serialize(prefix, data) {
var result = {},
dateRegex = /^\/Date\((.*?)\)\/$/;
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
for (var field in data[i]) {
var value = data[i][field];
if (typeof value === "string") {
var date = dateRegex.exec(value);
if (date) {
value = $.telerik.formatString("{0:d}", new Date(parseInt(date[1])));
}
}
result[prefix + "[" + i + "]." + field] = value;
}
}
return result;
}
So then when I call onCurrencyRatesImportedDataBinding it will serialize my object of currency exchange rates and pass them up properly.
function onCurrencyRatesImportedDataBinding(args) {
var currencyRatesImported = $('body').data('CurrencyRatesImported');
console.log(currencyRatesImported);
args.data = $.extend(args.data, serialize("currencyExchangeRates", currencyRatesImported));
args.data = args.data;
}
I believe the issue is the format of the dates being sent across the wire.
Unfortunately the DefaultModelBinder in MVC doesn't know how to bind these dates.
You'll need to extend the DefaultModelBinder. See e.g.

MVC grid sorting - customise links

I am using the Sort method of the MvcContrib Grid to generate sorting links, e.g.
<%= Html.Grid(Model).AutoGenerateColumns().Sort((GridSortOptions)ViewData["sort"]) %>
I have a need to change the default controller/action that’s generated by the sort method. For example,
defaultControllerName/defaultActionName/?Column=ProductId&Direction=Ascending
would change to
customControllerName/customActionName/?Column=ProductId&Direction=Ascending
I haven't been able to find any existing methods in the MVCcontribution classes that would allow me to customise the links. I’d appreciate any pointers on how to go about altering the default links as I’m still very much a MVC/C# newbie.
That's not an easy task. You will need a custom grid renderer to achieve this and override the RenderHeaderText method:
public class MyHtmlTableGridRenderer<T> : HtmlTableGridRenderer<T> where TViewModel : class
{
protected override void RenderHeaderText(GridColumn<TViewModel> column)
{
if (IsSortingEnabled && column.Sortable)
{
// TODO: generate a custom link here based on the sorting options
string text = ...
base.RenderText(text);
}
else
{
RenderText(column.DisplayName);
}
}
}
And then specify that the grid should use this renderer:
.RenderUsing(new MyHtmlTableGridRenderer<Employee>())
I wanted to provide a complete working example:
public class SortableHtmlTableGridRenderer<T> : HtmlTableGridRenderer<T> where T : class
{
readonly string _action;
readonly string _controllerName;
public SortableHtmlTableGridRenderer(string action, string controllerName)
{
_action = action;
_controllerName = controllerName;
