I need to populate two textbox controls based on a selection of combo box in my MVC 5 application. The combo box is a kendo MVC control. The values that need to be assigned to the text box controls are there in the collection that is bound to the combo box control. Could somebody let me know how to go about it. Does this need to be handled in javascript/ jquery or is it handled in kendo combo box events. An example would be great.
Combo box
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name1, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-4" })
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="editor-field">
#(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(model => model.Name1)
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:300px" })
.DataTextField("Name1")
.DataValueField("CustomerMasterDataId")
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Read(read => read.Action("RequestHeader_CustomerData", "Request").Type(HttpVerbs.Post))
)
)
</div>
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CustomerNumber, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
Textbox
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.CustomerNumber, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-4" })
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.CustomerNumber, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
</div>
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CustomerNumber, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.CustomerGroup, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-4" })
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.CustomerGroup, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
</div>
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CustomerGroup, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
Controller method that poulates the combo
public ActionResult RequestHeader_CustomerData()
{
var response = requestRepository.GetCustomerData().AsQueryable().ProjectTo<CustomerViewModel>();
var jsonResult = Json(response, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
jsonResult.MaxJsonLength = int.MaxValue;
return jsonResult;
}
Please note that the CustomerNumber and Name1 field would be used to populate the text boxes
ViewModel
public class CustomerViewModel
{
public int CustomerMasterDataId { get; set; }
public int CustomerNumber { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Customer Name")]
public string Name1 { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Customer Group")]
public string CustomerGroup { get; set; }
}
Yes, handle the change event:
#(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(model => model.Name1)
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:300px" })
.DataTextField("Name1")
.DataValueField("CustomerMasterDataId")
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Events(e => e.Change(onComboChange))
.Read(read => read.Action("RequestHeader_CustomerData", "Request").Type(HttpVerbs.Post))
)
)
Now handle it in js:
#section scripts
{
<script type="text/javascript">
function onComboChange(e) {
var dataItem = e.sender.dataItem();
if (dataItem) {
//set the value of text box (input)
$("#CustomerNumber").val(dataItem.CustomerNumber);
$("#CustomerGroup").val(dataItem.CustomerGroup);
};
};
</script>
}
Here is a js equivalent: http://jsfiddle.net/sg53719/74LwhebL/1/

UPDATED
Ok I have updates everything so it matches almost to #Fran answer, seems he was missing a few things but i got it to work. I also took what #Stephen Muecke said and got rid of the validation.
You seem to be going around all the built in stuff that MVC will give you for free.
Try this
You can use attributes to define what is required and to modify the display names without actually writing into your view.
ViewModel:
public class EditProfile2
{
[Required]
[DisplayName("State")]
public int StateId { get; set; }
public SelectList States {get;set;}
}
View: only including the relevant parts
Since we used attributes on our model, we don't have to give the text in the view. we can also use DropDownListFor instead of DropDownList. And also have this declaration add the "--Select State--" option
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.StateId, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model.StateId, Model.States, "-- Select State --", new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.StateId, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
Because of our previous use of attributes and built in framework elements, our action method can slim down.
Controller Action:
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult DealerLogin()
{
var results = (from a in db1.States
where a.CountryID == 221
select new SelectListItem { Value= a.StateID.ToString(), Text = a.Name }).ToList();
return View(new EditProfile2 { States = new SelectList(results)});
}
I have implemented kendo combobox on my MVC5 view and want the combobox to be filtered based on the value in my model. I need to retrieve the value from my model. I have currently bound that value to a hidden field called CountryCode in my partial view. The script is in my main view. I am getting error message undefined while trying to access the hidden field. The model is definitely getting populated with the CountryCode.

{
var response = requestRepository.GetRequestStatus(countryCode).AsQueryable().ProjectTo<RequestStatusViewModel>();
var jsonResult = Json(response, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
jsonResult.MaxJsonLength = int.MaxValue;
return jsonResult;
}
Controller method that loads the view
public ActionResult RequestStatus(int requestId, string projectName, string countryCode)

RequestStatusUpdateViewModel reqeustStatusUpdateViewModel = new RequestStatusUpdateViewModel();
reqeustStatusUpdateViewModel.RequestID = requestId;
reqeustStatusUpdateViewModel.ProjectName = projectName;
reqeustStatusUpdateViewModel.CountryCode = countryCode;
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
// return View("NewRequestView", Mapper.Map<RequestStatusViewModel>(newReqeustViewModel));
return null;
}
return View("_RequestStatusView", Mapper.Map<RequestStatusUpdateViewModel>(reqeustStatusUpdateViewModel));
}
RequestStatusViewModel
public class RequestStatusViewModel
{
public string RequestStatusCode { get; set; }
public string Status { get; set; }
public int DisplaySequenceNo { get; set; }
}
Script in the main view
function GetCountryCodeFilter() {
alert("Hello");
alert($('#CountryCode').val());
return { countryCode: $('#CountryCode').val() }
};
I'm assuming this is a popup from a kendo grid. The problem is that view gets serialized and sent to the popup when any row is clicked. It doesn't bind the data like you expect in MVC - it sends the same serialized data every time. See here.
So change your hidden to use kendo's MVVM binding so each instance gets the value from the grid row. (CountryCode needs to exist in the grid's datasource):
#Html.HiddenFor(x => x.CountryCode, new { data_bind = "value: CountryCode" }) // underscore becomes dash
Or you could just use:
<input type="hidden" name="CountryCode" id="CountryCode" data-bind = "value: CountryCode"/>
I have implemented the cascading feature of kendo drop down. While trying to save the information, I am not able to get the value of the combo in my viewmodel. If I comment the name attribute, I do get the value however I need the name attribute for the cascading feature to work. I was trying a workaround using jquery to set the model value but getting errors. Could somebody tell me how to fix this issue.

Javascript for cascading feature to work
function GetFilterOption() {
return {
id: $('#SalesOrganisation').val()
}
}
Javascript - Trying to set the model which doesnt work
function GetFilterOption() {
var countryCode = $('#SalesOrganisation').val();
var model = $('#SalesOrganisation').data('kendoComboBox');
model.value = countryCode;
return id = countryCode;
}
When you use .ComboBoxFor(), you should not use .Name().
When you use .ComboBoxFor(m => m.FieldName) then the id/name attribute will be set to "FieldName" by kendo's implementation of the Razor helper and matches the name of your model field.
If you then use .Name("SomeOtherFieldName"), you change the id/name attribute to "SomeOtherFieldName" and it no longer matches the field name of your model, which is why you no longer get the value.
What you want to do is not use .Name() and set up the .CascadeFrom() appropriately, i.e.
#(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(model => model.CountryCode)
....
#(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(model => model.SalesOfficeID)
.CascadeFrom("CountryCode")
function GetFilterOption() {
return {
id: $('#CountryCode').val()
}
}
My Drop-Downs works well the problem is when I want to save my form.
here is my controller
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "Id,TourId,StartDate,EndDate")] TourDate tourDate)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.TourDates.Add(tourDate);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
ViewBag.TourId = new SelectList(db.Tours, "Id", "TourName", tourDate.TourId);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "test");
}
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult GetT(int? id)
{
var tours = db.Tours.Where(e => e.CountryId == id).ToList()
.Select(e => new
{
Id = e.Id,
TourName= e.TourName
}).ToList();
return Json(tours);
}
and here is My form. in this From, selecttag with id=TourId is filling with data in ajax from the outer drop down dropdownId and it works fine
#Html.DropDownList("dropdownId",
Model.Countries.Select(m => new SelectListItem
{
Value = m.Id.ToString(),
Text = m.CountryName
}),
new { #class = "form-control" })
#using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "test"))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>TourDate</h4>
<hr />
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.TourDate.TourId, "TourId", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">

<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.TourDate.StartDate, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })

<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
the problem is when I submit the form no diffrent which Tour is chosen always there is TourId=0.
Appreciate any help and also here is the ajax if needed
$("#dropdownId").change(function () {
$('#TourId').empty();
var countrySelected = $(this).val();
$.ajax
({
url: '/test/GetT/' + countrySelected,
type: 'POST',
data: {
'countryId': countrySelected
},
success: function (data)
{
var $select = $('#TourId');
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
{
$('<option/>').attr('value', data[i].Id).html(data[i].TourName).appendTo('#TourId');
}
}
});
});
The reason your second <select> element does not submit a value is because it does not have a name attribute. It would need to be
<select class="form-control" name="TourDate.TourId" id="TourId"></select>
However there are multiple other errors and problems with your code. To note just a couple of them:
The model in your view is is not typeof TourDate (its a model
containing a property which is TourDate) so none of your controls
can be bound to your TourDate tourDate parameter in the POST
method (the model in the parameter needs to be the same as the model
in the view, or you need to use the [Bind(Prefix = "TourDate")]
attribute and you also need to remove the [Bind(Include = "..")]
attribute).
Your not getting client side validation associated with your
dropdownlists and in the POST method, if ModelState is invalid,
your just redirecting (the user would just assume the object has
been saved and not understand what is going on). You need to return
the view so errors can be corrected, but in your case, the values
the user has entered will be reset to the defaults (an annoying user
experience).
Your editing data, so you should always use a view model and in the controller method you need to populate the SelectList's to account for initial values and edited values (for when you need to return the view). You code should be
public class TourDateVM
{
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please select a country")]
[Display(Name = "Country")]
public int? SelectedCountry { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please select a tour")]
[Display(Name = "Country")]
public int? SelectedTour { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter a start date")]
[Display(Name = "Start date")]
public DateTime? StartDate { get; set; }
.... // ditto above for EndDate
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> CountryList { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> TourList { get; set; }
}
And in the controller
public ActionResult Create()
{
TourDateVM model = new TourDateVM();
ConfigureViewModel(model);
return View(model);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(TourDateVM model)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
ConfigureViewModel(model);
return View(model);
}
TourDate tour = new TourDate()
{
TourId = model.SelectedTour,
StartDate = model.StartDate,
EndDate= model.EndDate
};
db.TourDates.Add(tour);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
private ConfigureViewModel(TourDateVM model)
{
var counties = db.Countries;
model.CountryList = new SelectList(counties, "ID", "Name"); // adjust to suit your property names
if (model.SelectedCountry.HasValue)
{
var tours = db.Tours.Where(e => e.CountryId == model.SelectedCountry);
model.TourList = new SelectList(tours, "Id", "TourName");
}
else
{
model.TourList = new SelectList(Enumerable.Empty<SelectListItem>());
}
}
and finally in the view (note that both dropdownlists need to be inside the <form> element)
#model TourDateVM
....
#using Html.BeginForm())
{
....
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.SelectedCountry, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.SelectedCountry, Model.CountryList, "- Please select -", new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.SelectedCountry, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.SelectedTour, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.SelectedTour, Model.TourList, "- Please select -", new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.SelectedTour, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
....
}
and the script should be
var url = '#Url.Action("GetT")'; // assumes its in the same controller
var tours = $('#SelectedTour');
$('#SelectedCountry').change(function() {
tours.empty();
$.post(url , { id: $(this).val() }, function(data) {
if (!data) {
return;
}
tours.append($('<option></option>').val('').text('- Please select -'));
$.each(data, function(index, item) {
tours.append($('<option></option>').val(item.Id).text(item.TourName));
});
});
})
So I have been using MVC for a while but not a lot of Ajax.
So the issue i have is that I have a create view where the first field of the create view is a Date picker which on change i want ajax to change the selection dropdown of another field on the form. I have the Ajax update working , but the form Post (Create button), now only calls into the Ajax method on the controller. I want the Ajax post back to call the default method Create method on the Controller. So the Create form contains 3 fields
A date (which has the OnChange Ajax submit)
A drop down list of id's and text
other fields as required
I have included the model and cshtml view files (one the partial). The controller is just simply a method taking either the datetime value or the entire model.
So I have the code working where, when the date changes it updates the relevant LocalIds field, but because the 'create' button is inside the Ajax.BeginForm tags, when the create button is pressed, it generates an Ajax call, and I want it to generate a Form Post. What am i missing
CreateModel
public class IdsSelection
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public List<SelectListItem> Selections { get; set; }
}
public class CreateModel
{
[Display(Name="Local Id's")]
public IdsSelection LocalIds;
[Display(Name="Day")]
[Required, DataType(DataType.Date)]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}",ApplyFormatInEditMode=true)]
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
[Required, Display(Name = "Other Value")]
[Range(1.0, 1000000.0, ErrorMessage ="Value must be greater than zero")]
public decimal OtherValue { get; set; }

You have not shown you controller methods, but assuming the method which generates this view is named Create(), then create a corresponding POST method
[httpPost]
public ActionResult Create(CreateModel model)
for saving the data. The remove #using (Ajax.BeginForm("ChangeDate", "Process", new AjaxOptions() { ..... ])) and replace with a normal form to post back to the server (and you can remove jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js)
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
....
Next create a controller method that returns your partial view based on the selected date
public PartialViewResult FetchLocalIds(DateTime date)
{
IdsSelection model = // populate model based on selected date
return PartialView("_ShowIds", model);
}
Next, in the view, wrap the current #Html.Partial() in a placeholder element
<div id="localids">
#Html.Partial("_ShowIds", Model.LocalIds)
</div>
Then use jquery to handle the datepickers .change() event and call the FetchLocalIds() method to update the DOM using the .load() function.
$('#Date').change(function() {
$('#localids').load('#Url.Action("FetchLocalIds")', { date: $(this).val() })
})
Note also to remove onchange = "$(this.form).submit();" from the #Html.EditorFor(model => model.Date, new { ... })
