jqgrid add window parameter - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

I'm uwsing MVC and jqgrid and I need to pass a value from dropdownlist to add or edit window. this is my code:
View:
jQuery("#grid").jqGrid({
url: '#Url.Content("~/")' + 'Something/GridData/',
datatype: "json",
mtype: 'POST',
colNames: ['Type', 'Product', 'Value1', 'Value2', 'Value3'],
colModel: [
{ name: 'parType', index: 'parType', width: 80, align: 'center', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false,
editrules: { required: true, number: true },
editoptions: {
dataEvents: [{
type: 'keyup',
fn: function (e) {
if (this.value.match(/\D/)) this.value = this.value.replace(/\D/g, '');
}
}]
}
},
{ name: 'parProduct', index: 'parProduct', width: 80, align: 'left', editable: true, edittype: "select",
editrules: { required: true },
editoptions: {
multiple: false,
size: 1,
dataUrl: '#Url.Content("~/")' + 'Something/List/',
buildSelect: function (data) {
var response = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
var s = '<select>';
if (response && response.length) {
for (var i = 0, l = response.length; i < l; i++) {
var ri = response[i];
s += '<option value="' + ri.Value + '">' + ri.Text + '</option>';
}
}
return s + "</select>";
}
}
},
{ name: 'parValue1', index: 'parValue1', width: 80, align: 'right', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false,
editrules: { required: true, number: true },
editoptions: {
dataEvents: [{
type: 'keyup',
fn: function (e) {
if (this.value.match(/\D/)) this.value = this.value.replace(/\D/g, '');
}
}]
}
},
{ name: 'parValue2', index: 'parValue2', width: 80, align: 'right', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false,
editrules: { required: true, number: true },
editoptions: {
dataEvents: [{
type: 'keyup',
fn: function (e) {
if (this.value.match(/\D/)) this.value = this.value.replace(/\D/g, '');
}
}]
}
},
{ name: 'parValue3', index: "parValue3", width: 80, align: 'right', editable: true,
editrules: { required: true },
editoptions: {
dataEvents: [{
type: 'blur',
fn: function (e) {
onBlurDecimal(this.id);
}
}]
}
}],
rowNum: 10,
rowList: [10, 20, 30],
pager: jQuery('#pager'),
sortname: '',
viewrecords: true,
sortorder: "asc",
caption: "Title",
height: 250,
width: 700
});
jQuery("#grid").jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager',
{ edit: false, add: true, del: true, search: false }, //options
{url: '#Url.Content("~/")' + 'Something/Add', closeAfterAdd: true, width: 500 }, // add options
{} // search options
);
#Html.ValidationSummary(False)
#Using Html.BeginForm()
<table>
<tr>
<td>
#Html.Label("ID_CONTRATANTE", "Contratante:")
#Html.DropDownListFor(Function(Model) Model.ID_CONTRATANTE, Nothing, New With {.style = "width:300px; visibility:visible", .class = "letraingreso"})
</td>
</tr>
</table>
End Using
Controller
Function Add(ByVal parType As Long, ByVal parProduct As Long, ByVal parValue1 As Long, ByVal parValue2 As Long, ByVal parValue3 As String) As ActionResult
Try
Dim varE As General1Entities = New General1Entities
Dim parIDContratante = Request.Form("ID_CONTRATANTE")
Dim var1 = New OBJECT With { _
.ID_TYPE = parProduct,
.ID_CONTRATANTE = parIDContratante,
.CODE = parType,
.VALUE1 = parValue1,
.VALUE2 = parValue2,
.VALUE3 = parValue3
}
varE.AddToOBJECTS(var1)
varE.SaveChanges()
Return Json(True)
Catch ex As Exception
Return Json(False)
End Try
End Function
As you can see, I need to get DDL value from main view (ID_CONTRATANTE) and put it into parIDContratante. Obviously the value return Nothing because the add window of jqgrid it's open. How can I send from parent view to add view window this value?
Regards.

Answer 1

Ok.... After looking for solutions I get it.
View (replace the old navGrid)
jQuery("#grid").jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager', {
edit: false, add: true, del: true, search: false, refresh: false
}, // general options
{
}, // options edit
{
url: '#Url.Content("~/")' + 'Something/WorkWith',
closeOnEscape: true,
closeAfterAdd: true,
width: 500,
modal: true,
addCaption: 'Nueva Tarifa',
reloadAfterSubmit: true,
beforeShowForm: function (frm) { $('#ID_CONTRATANTE').val(); },
//bottominfo: "Fields marked with (*) are required",
drag: true,
onclickSubmit: function (params) {
var ajaxData = {};
ajaxData = { parIDContratante: $("#ID_CONTRATANTE").val() };
return ajaxData;
}
}, // options add
{
url: "/Something/WorkWith"
}, // opciones para el dialogo de borrado
{
} // options search
);
Controller (replace old controller)
Function WorkWith(ByVal parFormCollection As FormCollection) As ActionResult
Try
Dim varE As General1Entities = New General1Entities
Dim operation = parFormCollection("oper")
If operation.Equals("add") Then
Dim var1 = New OBJECT With { _
.ID_TYPE = parFormCollection.Get("parProduct").ToString,
**.ID_CONTRATANTE = parFormCollection.Get("parIDContratante").ToString,**
.etc.....
}
varE.AddToOBJECTS(var1)
varE.SaveChanges()
ElseIf operation.Equals("edit") Then
ElseIf operation.Equals("del") Then
End If
Return Json(True)
Catch ex As Exception
' Do some error logging stuff, handle exception, etc.
Return Json(False)
End Try
End Function
I hope this helps some else.
Bye.
