I have been working with MVC for the past few days.
I have a problem in one of my pages, i.e I have a page where q user enters the required details and uploads a file. I have two buttons named Upload for Uploading File and Create for creating new profile.
My Problem
My problem is I don't want to reload the whole page when user clicks on upload button. I was thinking of using an webmethod for fileupload.
I don't know if what am I doing wrong here
Can any one correct me
This is my Webmethod in my controller named Create
Controller
[WebMethod]
public string FileUpload(HttpPostedFileBase file, BugModel model)
{
BugModel bug = null;
if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0)
{
string path = "/Content/UploadedFiles/" + Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
string savedFileName = Path.Combine(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath ("~" +path));
file.SaveAs(savedFileName);
BugAttachment attachment = new BugAttachment();
attachment.FileName = "~" + path.ToString();
bug.ListFile.Add(attachment);
model = bug;
}
return "FileUploaded";
}
used a script to call the method
Javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
function UploadFile() {
$.ajax({
type:"Post",
url: "LogABug/FileUpload",
data: "{}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (msg) {
alert("File Uploaded")
},
error: function () {
ErrorMessage("Try Again");
}
});
}
</script>
can any one tell me how can I do this ...if this is the wrong method correct me the right one with the ideas please
You are uploading the file separately. Therefore you will need two actions:
public string Something(BugModel model) for the model.
public string FileUpload(HttpPostedFileBase file) for the file
Now, I would use jQuery Form Plugin for ajax submitting. Here is an example:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#file-upload-form").submit(function () {
$(this).ajaxSubmit({
target: "#message",
cache: false
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
#using(Html.BeginForm("FileUpload", "LogABug", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data", id = "file-upload-form" })) {
#Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<fieldset>
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.File)
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</fieldset>
}
<div id="message">
</div>
What ever you return from your action will be displayed in the div with id message

I have this ajax call in my view, Form.cshtml
<form id="myForm">
<input id="btnSubmit" type="submit" value="Load data" />
<p id="result"></p>
</form>
#section scripts{
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#btnSubmit').click(function () {
debugger
$.get('/Form/',function (data) {
debugger
console.log('test');
});
})
});
</script>
}
and in my Razor Pages code behind, Form.cshtml.cs
public class FormModel : PageModel
{
public JsonResult OnPost()
{
List<Student> students = new List<Student>{
new Student { Id = 1, Name = "John"},
new Student { Id = 2, Name = "Mike"}
};
return new JsonResult(students);
}
}
The problem is it doesn't reach OnPost method. If I put in OnGet, it will automatically load before I click the Submit button.
I try to create another Razor page called Filter.cshtml and in Filter.cshtml.cs. And then in my Form.cshtml, I changed my url to /Filter/, it did reach OnGet in Filter.cshtml.cs
public class FilterModel : PageModel
{
public JsonResult OnGet()
{
List<Student> students = new List<Student>{
new Student { Id = 1, Name = "John"},
new Student { Id = 2, Name = "Mike"}
};
return new JsonResult(students);
}
}
The default behaviour of clicking a submit button in a form is that the form gets submitted. At the moment, your form has no method specified, so the submission will default to the GET method. If you want to submit the form by AJAX POST rather than the usual behaviour, you need to do two things:
Cancel the default action of the button click (which is what currently causes the OnGet handler to execute)
Change the jQuery code to use the POST method:
#section scripts{
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#btnSubmit').click(function (e) { // include the event parameter
e.preventDefault(); // prevents the default submission of the form
$.post('/Form/',function (data) { // change from 'get' to 'post'
console.log('test');
});
});
});
</script>
}
the $.get() makes Ajax requests using the HTTP GET method, whereas the $.post() makes Ajax requests using the HTTP POST method.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json",
url: "/Filter/OnGet",
success: function (result) {
}
});
I have a problem that I was stacked on for a while. I am rather new to this stuff so please be patient. I think it is like very simple to solve but I am running circles now. My intention is to make a simple alert that informs that method was completed. As you can see below my first attempt was made with simple string and if statement. I dont want to reload the page any more but now I have a problem that method ends later than alert script starts.
So I have a controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Executor(LMCMainViewModel model)
{
var curlsExecutor = _curls;
var applicationPurgeCurl = curlsExecutor.GetApplicationCurl(model);
var temporary = model.SuccessExecutionStatus = curlsExecutor.CurlCaller(model.ApplicationList.ApplicationCurl);
var tempListOfApplications = PopulateModel(model);
model.ApplicationList.ListOfApplications = tempListOfApplications.ApplicationList.ListOfApplications;
model.SuccessExecutionStatus = temporary;
return View("ListOfApplications", model);
}
And I have my view:
#model LMC.Models.LMCMainViewModel
#{
ViewData["Title"] = "Liberation";
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("HeaderString", "LMC"))
{
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("Executor", "LMC", FormMethod.Post))
{
<div class="col-sm-2" asp-action="ListOfApplications">
#Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.ApplicationList.ChosenApplication, Model.ApplicationList.ApplicationListItem, new { #id = "DropdownID" })
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 col-sm-push-5">
#Html.HiddenFor(x => x.ApplicationList.ApplicationListItem)
<input class="btn ctn-success" id="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
<button id="submitButtonAjax" type="button" class="btn btn-success">Ajax button</button>
<div class="col-sm-12">
#Html.Label(null, (Model.SuccessExecutionStatus ? "Success" : " "),
new { Style = Model.SuccessExecutionStatus ? "color: green;" : "color: red;" })
</div>
</div>
}
Than I tried to implement many variations of Ajax script but I got so twisted that I can't even post you the best one... One thing I know is that when I remove: #using (Html.BeginForm("Executor", "LMC", FormMethod.Post)) and try to place it into Ajax it simply doesn't work. My intention is to have something that would work like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#submitButtonAjax").on("click", function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/LMC/Executor",
success: function () {
alert("Went well");
}
});
</script>
I tried to convert controller method return into Json but it didnt work as well. I would appreciate any advices, where I can read about anything similar(I am aware that there are probably many similar topics, but I wan't able to implement anything that was working into my code, because I find my question one step backwards in comparison to others), or maybe it is that easy and I am missing something and you can just post a solution. Anyway, many thanks for any help.
The ajax call should look like bellow
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("#submitButtonAjax").on("click", function () {
var postData = {
FirstPropertyOfTheModel: ValueForTheFirstProperty,
SecondPropertyOfTheModel: ValueForTheSecondProperty,
};
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/LMC/Executor",
data:postData,
success: function () {
alert("Went well");
},
error: function () {
alert("Opssss not working");
}
});
});
});
data is the value for the model of ActionResult method of the controller. The FirstPropertyOfTheModel and SecondPropertyOfTheModel will be replaced by the name of property and assign the corresponding value respectably. At url you can use
'#Url.Action("Executor", "LMC")'
so the ajax will look like
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("#submitButtonAjax").on("click", function () {
var postData = {
FirstPropertyOfTheModel: ValueForTheFirstProperty,
SecondPropertyOfTheModel: ValueForTheSecondProperty,
};
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Action("Executor", "LMC")',
data:postData,
success: function () {
alert("Went well");
},
error: function () {
alert("Opssss not working");
}
});
});
});
I have a certain ajax form and when submitted I want to include another form outside of that ajax form. Let me show you an example:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("PayWithBankTransfer", "Payment", new { salesLineId = salesLine.SalesLineID }, new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "POST",
UpdateTargetId = "bankForm",
LoadingElementId = "spinnerBank"
}, new { id = "feedback-form" }))
{
//some stuff
<button type="submit">Reserve</button>
}
I have another tag outside of the form I want to include in the ajax form submission
<div id="theOtherStuff">
//otherStuff
</div>
How could I submit the other stuff along with the ajax form?
I don't think that MS unobtrusive AJAX supports this. So let's get rid of it and use plain jQuery. The .serialize() method is what you are looking for.
So we start by replacing the Ajax.BeginForm form with a regular Html.BeginForm
#using (Html.BeginForm(
"PayWithBankTransfer",
"Payment",
new { salesLineId = salesLine.SalesLineID },
FormMethod.Post,
new { id = "feedback-form" })
)
{
//some stuff
<button type="submit" class="t-button t-state-default" style="width: 100px; height: 50px;">Reserver</button>
}
then we provide an id to the other form so that we can reference it in our script:
<div id="theOtherStuff">
#using (Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post, new { id = "theOtherStuffForm" }))
{
//otherStuff
}
</div>
and all that's left is write our script in a separate javascript file to unobtrusively AJAXify this form:
$(function() {
$('#feedback-form').submit(function () {
$('#spinnerBank').show();
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: this.method,
data: $(this).add('#theOtherStuffForm').serialize(),
success: function (result) {
$('#bankForm').html(result);
},
complete: function () {
$('#spinnerBank').hide();
}
});
return false;
});
});
The following line should be of particular interest:
data: $(this).add('#theOtherStuffForm').serialize(),
As you can see the .serialize method allows convert multiple forms into suitable serialized form.
It is more than obvious that you should not have conflicting names with the input elements of the 2 forms (for example have 2 elements with the same name), otherwise the default model binder could go berserk. It's up to you to resolve those conflicts if there are any.
I am having a hard time figuring out how to get cascading drop down lists to work for my asp.net mvc3 application. I have a popup box and I would like to display 2 dropdownlists, the 2nd being populated based on what is selected in the first. Each time I run the application the controller method returns the correct list of values, but instead of hitting the success part of the ajax call I hit the error part. I have done lots of research and followed several examples I have found but something is still not quite right, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
Further inspection using firebug shows an error 500 internal server error which states: Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type 'System.Data.Entity.DynamicProxies.GameEdition
I have the following jQuery / AJAX:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#PlatformDropDownList").change(function () {
var gameId = '#Model.GameID';
var platformId = $(this).val();
// and send it as AJAX request to the newly created action
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("Editions")',
type: 'GET',
data: { gameId: gameId, platformId: platformId },
cache: 'false',
success: function (result) {
$('#EditionDropDownList').empty();
// when the AJAX succeeds refresh the ddl container with
// the partial HTML returned by the PopulatePurchaseGameLists controller action
$.each(result, function (result) {
$('#EditionDropDownList').append(
$('<option/>')
.attr('value', this.EditionID)
.text(this.EditionName)
);
});
},
error: function (result) {
alert('An Error has occurred');
}
});
});
});
Here is my controller method:
public JsonResult Editions(Guid platformId, Guid gameId)
{
//IEnumerable<GameEdition> editions = GameQuery.GetGameEditionsByGameAndGamePlatform(gameId, platformId);
var editions = ugdb.Games.Find(gameId).GameEditions.Where(e => e.PlatformID == platformId).ToArray<GameEdition>();
return Json(editions, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Here is my web form html:
<div id="PurchaseGame">
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Please correct the errors and try again.")
<div>
<fieldset>
<legend></legend>
<p>Select the platform you would like to purchase the game for and the version of the game you would like to purchase.</p>
<div class="editor-label">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.PlatformID, "Game Platform")
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.PlatformID, new SelectList(Model.Platforms, "GamePlatformID", "GamePlatformName"), new { id = "PlatformDropDownList", name="PlatformDropDownList" })
</div>
<div class="editor-label">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.EditionID, "Game Edition")
</div>
<div id="EditionDropDownListContainer">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.EditionID, new SelectList(Model.Editions, "EditionID", "EditionName"), new { id = "EditionDropDownList", name = "EditionDropDownList" })
</div>
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.GameID)
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Platforms)
<p>
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Purchase Game" />
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Cancel" />
</p>
</fieldset>
</div>
}
You cannot send JSON encoded requests using the GET verb. So replace type: 'GET' with type: 'POST' and it will work. Also since you have specified a JSON request you must, well, send a JSON request which is achieved with the JSON.stringify function: data: JSON.stringify({ gameId: gameId, platformId: platformId }),. But since you only have 2 values I think that using GET would be easier. So my recommendation is to remove the contentType: 'application/json' parameter and have your AJAX request look like this:
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("Editions")',
type: 'GET',
data: { gameId: gameId, platformId: platformId },
cache: 'false',
success: function (result) {
$('#EditionDropDownList').empty();
// when the AJAX succeeds refresh the ddl container with
// the partial HTML returned by the PopulatePurchaseGameLists controller action
if(result.length > 0)
{
$.each(result, function (result) {
$('#EditionDropDownList').append(
$('<option/>')
.attr('value', this.EditionID)
.text(this.EditionName)
);
});
}
else
{
$('#EditionDropDownList').append(
$('<option/>')
.attr('value', "")
.text("No edition found for this game")
);
}
},
error: function () {
alert('An Error has occured');
}
});
Also in the DropDownListFor helper in your Razor markup I notice the following:
onchange = "Model.PlatformID = this.value;"
All I can say is that this doesn't do what you might think it does.
UPDATE:
It seems that you are getting a circular object reference error because you are passing your editions domain model to the Json method. Circular reference object hierarchies cannot be JSON serialized. Besides you don't need to waste the bandwidth by sending all the crap contained in this editions to the client. All your client needs is a collection of ids and names. So simply use view models:
public ActionResult Editions(Guid platformId, Guid gameId)
{
var editions = ugdb
.Games
.Find(gameId)
.GameEditions
.Where(e => e.PlatformID == platformId)
.ToArray<GameEdition>()
.Select(x => new
{
EditionID = x.EditionID,
EditionName = x.EditionName
})
.ToArray();
return Json(editions, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
I have made an Ajax function but i am getting a big prolem in that.
I was displaying the contents on click of the link..
The links are fetched from the database and also the url of the links are fetched from the datbase.
I have wriiten ajax to call the contents dynamically on click of the link
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var filename = $(this).text();
var Hobbyurl = '#Url.Action("FetchUrlByHobbyName")';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: Hobbyurl,
data: { data: filename },
success: function (returndata) {
$('iframe').attr('src', returndata);
}
});
});
});
</script>
Now FetchUrlByHobbyName is the function called from the Controller thart returns the url
//Ajax routine to fetch the hobbyinfo by hobbyname
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult FetchUrlByHobbyName(string data)
{
HobbyMasters hobbymaster = new HobbyHomeService().FetchHobbyMasterByHobbyName(data);
string url = hobbymaster.InformationUrl;
if (HttpContext.Request.IsAjaxRequest())
return Json(url);
return View();
}
And in my View i have written the link like this:
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
<li >#Html.ActionLink(item.HobbyName, "Hobbies")
</li>
}
i tried this :
#Html.ActionLink(item.HobbyName, "Hobbies", null, new { id = "alink" })
and then calling Ajax on click of 'alink' but with this my ajax function doesnot get called.
Now the problem is the ajax function is getting called on click of every link on the page..
I want to assign a unique Id to it but i am not understanding how to do that
please Help me...
For that specific link, assign an id. E.g
<a id="someID" href="url">Link</a>
and than bind the click only with that link.
$('#someID').click(function (e)) ....
If I understood you correctly this helps you
The text of the link
<script type="text/javascript">
function myAjaxFunction(){
e.preventDefault();
var filename = $(this).text();
var Hobbyurl = '#Url.Action("FetchUrlByHobbyName")';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: Hobbyurl,
data: { data: filename },
success: function (returndata) {
$('iframe').attr('src', returndata);
}
});
</script>
Try to give a css class selector to you action link like this...
#Html.ActionLink("some link", "Create", "Some_Controller", new { }, new { #class = "test" })
then User jquery for it..
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.test').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var filename = $(this).text();
var Hobbyurl = '#Url.Action("FetchUrlByHobbyName")';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: Hobbyurl,
data: { data: filename },
success: function (returndata) {
$('iframe').attr('src', returndata);
}
});
});
});
</script>
