MVC 3 partialview popup problem - asp.net-mvc-3

I have been trying to create a pop up window with some details gather from a partialview, but I was not able to do it.
I have followed this example, that is pretty clear, but did not work for me.
MVC-pop up windows
I add my code, maybe someone can see better than me, why is not working.
Thanks in advance, Pablo.
This is the controller
[HttpGet]
[Authorize]
public ActionResult _CustomerDetails(int idAddress)
{
using (CustomerAddressClient client = new CustomerAddressClient())
{
var address = client.CustomerAddress_Read(idAddress);
ViewBag.CustomerAddress = address;
}
return PartialView();
}
Then I have the view with this code
#Ajax.ActionLink("Open popup", "_CustomerDetails", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "GET", UpdateTargetId = "customerdetails2", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, OnSuccess = "openPopup" })
<div id="customerdetails2" ></div>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#customerdetails2").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
title: 'Title',
width: 500,
height: 'auto',
modal: true
});
});
function openPopup() {
$("#customerdetails2").dialog("open");
}
and the partial view is just a list of the customer details
<table style="width: 100%;" class="customerTable">
<tr>
<td>Address1</td> <td>#ViewBag.CustomerAddress.idAddress</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address2</td><td>#ViewBag.CustomerAddress.Address2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address3</td><td>#ViewBag.CustomerAddress.Address3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>City</td><td>#ViewBag.CustomerAddress.City</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>CompanyName</td><td>#ViewBag.CustomerAddress.CompanyName</td>
</tr>
</Table>
Well, the page keep on displaying in the same container, it won't display a popup.

popup a dialog and submit partial view in asp.net mvc

So what I am trying to do here is that in the View,
when I click on the button, I want to pass some values generated from the foreach loop (in my case Country and City) to the javascript function.
Inside that javascript function, I want to open up a dialog(partial view) by passing those values (countryName, cityName) to the controller.
Hence in my controller, it will pass those values to the partial view which will be appeared as a dialog and can submit the form.
I've tried with the version without the pop-up dialog (it worked), but having a hard time doing it with a dialog. #3 works btw, but I think I am having a trouble with #1 and #2. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
View:
#model IEnumerable<test.Models.Employee>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>Country</th>
<th>City</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Country)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.City)
</td>
<td>
<button onclick="OpenDialog(item.Country, item.City)">
Open Dialog
</button>
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
<div id="dialog"></div>
#section Scripts {
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.12.0.js"></script>
<script>
function OpenDialog(countryName, cityName) {
$('#dialog').dialog({
autoOpen: true,
width: 400,
resizable: false,
title: 'My Table',
modal: true,
open: function(event, ui) {
$(this).load('#Url.Action("getEmployee", "Employee", new
{
country = countryName,
city = cityName
})');
},
buttons: {
"Close": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
}
</script>
}
Controller:
public ActionResult getEmployee(string country, string city)
{
var viewModel = new EmployeeViewModel()
{
Country = country,
City = city
};
return PartialView("EmployeeDialog", viewModel);
}
Partial View:
#model test.ViewModels.EmployeeViewModel
#using (Html.BeginForm("PostEmployee", "Employee", FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Country)
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.City)
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Comments)
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
}
#Url.Action() is razor code and is parsed in the server before its sent to the view. countryName and cityName are javascript variables and do not even exist at that point (they are not in scope). Change the code in the OpenDialog() function to
var url = '#Url.Action("getEmployee", "Employee")';
var data = { country: countryName, city: cityName };
$(this).load(url, data);
As a side note, there is really no need to be calling the server each time to return values that you already have in the view. You could just render the form in the dialog initially (for a default EmployeeViewModel and then in the OpenDialog just set the values of the inputs for properties Country and City, for example $('#Country').val(countryName);

How to load custom content to jquery dialog from html table

I have a list of images presented in a table format with an update option to edit the image/description in a dialog box.
I have implemented a javascript function loadDialog to dynamically pass the id to the dialog.
However, the editor complains that id is not recognized in the line below:
$(this).load("#Url.Action("UpdateProjectImageDetail", new { ProjectId = id})") ;
Following are the script and html files.
$(function(){
$('#OpenImgDialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 400,
resizable: false,
title: 'Add/Update Image',
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Cancel": function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
});
function loadDialog(id) {
var Pid = id;
$("#OpenImgDialog").dialog({
open: function (event, ui) {
var Pid = id;
$(this).load("#Url.Action("UpdateProjectImageDetail", new { ProjectId = id})") ;
}
});
$('#OpenImgDialog').dialog('open');
}
Here is my HTML
<table>
<tr>
<th>
Image
</th>
<th>
Description
</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model.Images) {
<tr>
<td>
<img src ="#item.ImageString" width="200" height="100" />
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Description)
</td>
<td>
<a class="UpdateImage" href="#" onclick="loadDialog(#item.Id)">Edit</a>
#Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.Id })
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
How can I pass arguments from javascript to Url.Action?
Or is there a better approach to solving this problem?
Any demo/reference/solution will be helpful for me.
Thanks in advance!
Appologies I think I know what you are after.
in the
$(this).load("#Url.Action("UpdateProjectImageDetail", new { ProjectId = id})") ;
the
#Url.Action("UpdateProjectImageDetail", new { ProjectId = id})
is running server side you need to pass in the id from the client to the server. which meands it should look something like this
function loadDialog(id) {
var Pid = id;
$("#OpenImgDialog").dialog({
open: function (event, ui) {
var Pid = id;
var url = '#Url.Action("UpdateProjectImageDetail")?ProjectId=' + id;
$(this).load(url) ;
}
});
$('#OpenImgDialog').dialog('open');
}
#Url.Action() is server side code, so you can't pass a client side (js) variable to it.
Without looking too closely, you could probably do something like:
$(this).load("#Url.Action(...)" + "?ProjectId=" + id);
There's probably a more elegant solution, but that's all I have time for right now... ;)

ASP.NET MVC 3 - Partial View displayling as new page

I have had look at a few post already here but I am none the wiser. I tried my first example of Ajax but to no avail. The Partial View is loaded into a separate page as opposed to changing the dom element in the current page.
The pupose is by clicking on the Refresh link in updates the "Last Activity Date" value of the current row only.
Please if there is an easy well of doing this can you also let me know?
View:
#model IEnumerable<RegistrationManager.User>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Users";
}
#section scripts {
#Content.Script(Url, "jquery-unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")
}
<h2>Users</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Email Address</th>
<th>Given Names</th>
<th>Surname</th>
<th>Last Activity Date</th>
<th>Refresh</th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
string selectedRow = "";
if (ViewBag.UserId != null && item.UserId == ViewBag.UserId)
{
selectedRow = "selectedrow";
}
<tr class="#selectedRow" valign="top">
<td>
#item.UserName
</td>
<td>
#item.Profile.GivenNames
</td>
<td>
#item.Profile.Surname
</td>
<td>
<div id="#String.Format("LastActivityDate{0}", item.UserId)">#Html.Partial("_DateOnlyPartialView", item.LastActivityDate)</div>
</td>
<td>
#Ajax.ActionLink("Refresh", "Refresh",
new { UserId = item.UserId },
new AjaxOptions {
UpdateTargetId = "LastActivityDate" + item.UserId,
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
HttpMethod = "GET"
})
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
Conrtoller:
public PartialViewResult Refresh(Guid? UserId)
{
User user = _db.Users.Find(UserId);
user.RefreshLastActivityDate();
return PartialView("_DateOnlyPartialView", user.LastActivityDate);
}
Have you included/referenced all the necessary javascript files?
If you have UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled then you'll need:
jQuery
jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js
if you also use client side validation, you'll need;
jquery.validate.js
jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js
These files can all be found when you create a new MVC3 project.

ASP.NET MVC3: Ajax postback doesnot post complete data from the view

Hi Greetings for the day!
(1) The view model (MyViewModel.cs) which is bound to the view is as below...
public class MyViewModel
{
public int ParentId { get; set; } //property1
List<Item> ItemList {get; set;} //property2
public MyViewModel() //Constructor
{
ItemList=new List<Item>(); //creating an empty list of items
}
}
(2) I am calling an action method through ajax postback (from MyView.cshtml view) as below..
function AddItem() {
var form = $('#MyForm');
var serializedform = form.serialize();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Content("~/MyArea/MyController/AddItem")',
cache: false,
data: serializedform,
success: function (html) {$('#MyForm').html(html);}
});
}
The below button click will call the ajax postback...
<input type="button" value="Add" class="Previousbtn" onclick="AddItem()" />
(3) I have an action method in the (MyController.cs controller) as below...
public ActionResult AddItem(MyViewModel ViewModel)
{
ViewModel.ItemList.Add(new Item());
return View("MyView", ViewModel);
}
Now the issue is, after returning from the action, there is no data in the viewmodel. But i am able to get the data on third postback !! Can you pls suggest the solution..
The complete form code in the view is below...
#model MyViewModel
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function AddItem() {
var form = $('#MyForm');
var serializedform = form.serialize();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Content("~/MyArea/MyController/AddItem")',
cache: false,
data: serializedform,
success: function (html) {
$('#MyForm').html(html);
}
});
}
function RemoveItem() {
var form = $('#MyForm');
var serializedform = form.serialize();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Content("~/MyArea/MyController/RemoveItem")',
cache: false,
data: serializedform,
success: function (html) {
$('#MyForm').html(html);
}
});
}
function SaveItems() {
var form = $('#MyForm');
var serializedform = forModel.serialize();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Content("~/MyArea/MyController/SaveItems")',
cache: false,
data: serializedform,
success: function (html) {
$('#MyForm').html(html);
}
});
}
</script>
#using (Html.BeginForm("SaveItems", "MyController", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "MyForm" }))
{
#Html.HiddenFor(m => Model.ParentId)
<div>
<input type="button" value="Save" onclick="SaveItems()" />
</div>
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td style="width: 48%;">
<div style="height: 500px; width: 100%; overflow: auto">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="width: 80%;">
Item
</th>
<th style="width: 10%">
Select
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
#for (int i = 0; i < Model.ItemList.Count; i++)
{
#Html.HiddenFor(m => Model.ItemList[i].ItemId)
#Html.HiddenFor(m => Model.ItemList[i].ItemName)
<tr>
#if (Model.ItemList[i].ItemId > 0)
{
<td style="width: 80%; background-color:gray;">
#Html.DisplayFor(m => Model.ItemList[i].ItemName)
</td>
<td style="width: 10%; background-color:gray;">
<img src="#Url.Content("~/Images/tick.png")" alt="Added"/>
#Html.HiddenFor(m => Model.ItemList[i].IsSelected)
</td>
}
else
{
<td style="width: 80%;">
#Html.DisplayFor(m => Model.ItemList[i].ItemName)
</td>
<td style="width: 10%">
#if ((Model.ItemList[i].IsSelected != null) && (Model.ItemList[i].IsSelected != false))
{
<img src="#Url.Content("~/Images/tick.png")" alt="Added"/>
}
else
{
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => Model.ItemList[i].IsSelected, new { #style = "cursor:pointer" })
}
</td>
}
</tr>
}
</table>
</div>
</td>
<td style="width: 4%; vertical-align: middle">
<input type="button" value="Add" onclick="AddItem()" />
<input type="button" value="Remove" onclick="RemoveItem()" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
}
You must return PartialViewResult and then you can do something like
$.post('/controller/GetMyPartial',function(html){
$('elem').html(html);});
[HttpPost]
public PartialViewResult GetMyPartial(string id
{
return PartialView('view.cshtml',Model);
}
In my project i get state data with country id using json like this
in my view
<script type="text/javascript">
function cascadingdropdown() {
var countryID = $('#countryID').val();
$.ajax({
url: "/City/State",
dataType: 'json',
data: { countryId: countryID },
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
$("#stateID").empty();
$("#stateID").append("<option value='0'>--Select State--</option>");
$.each(data, function (index, optiondata) {
alert(optiondata.StateName);
$("#stateID").append("<option value='" + optiondata.ID + "'>" + optiondata.StateName + "</option>");
});
},
error: function () {
alert('Faild To Retrieve states.');
}
});
}
</script>
in my controller return data in json format
public JsonResult State(int countryId)
{
var stateList = CityRepository.GetList(countryId);
return Json(stateList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
i think this will help you ....
I resolved the issue as below...
Issue:
The form code i have shown here is actually part of another view page
which also contains a form. So, when i saw the page source at
run-time, there are two form tags: one inside the other, and the
browser has ignored the inner form tag.
Solution:
In the parent view page, earlier i had used Html.Partial to render
this view by passing the model to it.
#using(Html.BeginForm())
{
---
---
#Html.Partial('/MyArea/Views/MyView',MyViewModel)
---
---
}
But now, i added a div with no content. On click of a button, i'm
calling an action method (through ajax postback) which then renders
the above shown view page (MyView.cshmtl) into this empty div.
#using(Html.BeginForm())
{
---
---
<div id="divMyView" style="display:none"></div>
---
---
}
That action returns a separate view which is loaded into the above
div. Since it is a separate view with its own form tag, i'm able to
send and receive data on each postback.
Thank you all for your suggestions on this :)

MVC 3 Razor - Form not posting back to controller

I am using MVC 3 and Razor, attempting to post a form back to a controller from a telerik window (telerik.window.create) that loads a partial view. Im not sure how to post this so ill just post the code in order of execution and explain it as I go.
First an anchor is clicked, and onClick calls:
function showScheduleWindow(action, configId) {
var onCloseAjaxWindow = function () { var grid = $("#SubscriptionGrid").data("tGrid"); if (grid) { grid.rebind(); } };
CreateAjaxWindow("Create Schedule", true, false, 420, 305, "/FiscalSchedule/" + action + "/" + configId, onCloseAjaxWindow);
}
And the CrateAjaxWindow method:
function CreateAjaxWindow(title, modal, rezible, width, height, url, fOnClose) {
var lookupWindow = $.telerik.window.create({
title: title,
modal: modal,
rezible: rezible,
width: width,
height: height,
onClose: function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
lookupWindow.data('tWindow').destroy();
fOnClose();
}
});
lookupWindow.data('tWindow').ajaxRequest(url);
lookupWindow.data('tWindow').center().open();
}
Here is the partial view that is being loaded:
#model WTC.StatementAutomation.Web.Models.FiscalScheduleViewModel
#using WTC.StatementAutomation.Model
#using WTC.StatementAutomation.Web.Extensions
#using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "FiscalSchedule", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "FiscalScheduleConfigForm" }))
{
<div id="FiscalScheduleConfigForm" class="stylized">
<div class="top">
<div class="padding">
Using fiscal year end: #Model.FiscalYearEnd.ToString("MM/dd")
</div>
<div class="padding Period">
<table border="0">
<tr>
<th style="width: 120px;"></th>
<th>Effective Date</th>
<th>Next Run</th>
<th>Start From Previous</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.HasMonthly)
<label>Monthly</label>
</td>
<td>
#{ var month = Model.GetForFiscalPeriod(FiscalPeriodStatementSchedule.FiscalPeriod.Monthly);}
#month.BaseSchedule.StartDate.ToString("MM/01/yyyy")
</td>
<td>
#month.BaseSchedule.NextScheduleRun.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
</td>
<td class="previous">
#(month.HasRun ? Html.CheckBoxFor(m => month.BaseSchedule.StartFromPreviousCycle, new { #disabled = "disabled", #readonly = "readonly" }) : Html.CheckBoxFor(m => month.BaseSchedule.StartFromPreviousCycle))

<tr>
<td>
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.HasQuarterly) Quarterly

#quarter.BaseSchedule.NextScheduleRun.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
</td>
<td class="previous">
#(quarter.HasRun ? Html.CheckBoxFor(m => quarter.BaseSchedule.StartFromPreviousCycle, new { #disabled = "disabled", #readonly = "readonly" }) : Html.CheckBoxFor(m => quarter.BaseSchedule.StartFromPreviousCycle))
</td >
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.HasAnnual) Annual
</td>
<td>
#{ var annual = Model.GetForFiscalPeriod(FiscalPeriodStatementSchedule.FiscalPeriod.Annual);}
#annual.BaseSchedule.StartDate.ToString("MM/01/yyyy")
</td>
<td>
#annual.BaseSchedule.NextScheduleRun.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
</td>
<td class="previous">
#(annual.HasRun ? Html.CheckBoxFor(m => annual.BaseSchedule.StartFromPreviousCycle, new { #disabled = "disabled", #readonly = "readonly" }) : Html.CheckBoxFor(m => annual.BaseSchedule.StartFromPreviousCycle))
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.HasSemiAnnual) Semi-annual
</td>
<td>
#{ var semi = Model.GetForFiscalPeriod(FiscalPeriodStatementSchedule.FiscalPeriod.SemiAnnual);}
#semi.BaseSchedule.StartDate.ToString("MM/01/yyyy")

#semi.BaseSchedule.NextScheduleRun.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
</td>
<td class="previous">
#(semi.HasRun ? Html.CheckBoxFor(m => semi.BaseSchedule.StartFromPreviousCycle, new { #disabled = "disabled", #readonly = "readonly" }) : Html.CheckBoxFor(m => semi.BaseSchedule.StartFromPreviousCycle))
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="padding StartDay">
<span>Run on day:</span>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.StartDay)
<span>of every period.</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="bottom">
<div class="padding">
<div style="float: left;">
#if (Model.ShowSuccessSave)
{
<div id="successSave" class="label">Changes saved succesfully</div>
}
#Html.ValidationSummary(true)
#Html.HiddenFor(x => x.SubscriptionId)
#Html.HiddenFor(x => x.DeliveryConfigurationId)
#Html.HiddenFor(x => x.FiscalYearEnd)
</div>
<a id="saveSchedule" class="btn" href="">Save</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('a#saveSchedule').click(function () {
$(this).closest("form").submit();
return false;
});
});
</script>
And finally the controller method:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(FormCollection formValues, int subscriptionId, int deliveryConfigurationId, int startDay, DateTime fiscalYearEnd)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var selectedSchedules = GetCheckedSchedulesFromForm(formValues);
var startFromPrevious = GetFromPreviouSelections(formValues);
this.AddModelErrors(_fiscalScheduleService.AddUpdateSchedules(selectedSchedules, subscriptionId, deliveryConfigurationId, startDay, startFromPrevious));
}
return new RenderJsonResult { Result = new { success = true, action = ModelState.IsValid ? "success" : "showErrors",
message = this.RenderPartialViewToString("_FiscalScheduleConfigForm",
BuildResultViewModel(deliveryConfigurationId, subscriptionId, fiscalYearEnd, ModelState.IsValid)) } };
}
As you can see I am using jQuery to post back to the controller, which I have done on several occasions in the applicaiton, this seems to work fine normally. But with this form, for some reason it is not posting back or stepping into the Create method at all. I am speculating that it has something to do with the parameters on the controller method. But I am fairly new to MVC (coming from ASP.NET world) so Im not really sure what I am doing wrong here. Any help would be greately appreciated!
I was able to get it to post to the controller by modifying the textboxfor for the startDay:
Changed from:
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.StartDay)
To:
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.StartDay, new { id = "startDay" })
My guess is that you're running on a virtual directory in IIS? That url you're generating is likely the culprit.
Hit F12, check out the network tab (and enable tracing) and see what it's trying to request.
Instead of building the link through text, why not use #Url.Action()? You could store this in an attribute on the a tag (like in an attribute called data-url, for example) and then use that info to make your call. It's pretty easy to pull out the attribute with jQuery, something like this:
$('.your-link-class').click(function(){
var url = $(this).attr('data-url');
// proceed with awesomesauce
});
Would something like that work for you?
[shameless self plug] As far as the controller action signature goes, you might want to look into model binding if you can. One simple class and many of your headaches will go away. You can read more here, read the parts on model binding. There are downloadable samples for different approaches.
Cheers.
