I'm working with Serenety Framework Core 2.0
The issue I have is that the date picker does not include the time.
So I create another field to add the time and included the only Display Format I have been able to make it work. An insert Form.cs looks like this
`using Serenity;
using Serenity.ComponentModel;
using Serenity.Data;
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using OfficeOpenXml.FormulaParsing.Excel.Functions.DateTime;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
[FormScript("Default.Events")]
[BasedOnRow(typeof(Entities.EventsRow), CheckNames = true)]
public class EventsForm
{
[TextAreaEditor(Rows = 3)]
public String Title { get; set; }
[TextAreaEditor(Rows = 8)]
public String Description { get; set; }
[Serenity.ComponentModel.DisplayFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")]
public DateTime? EventDate { get; set; }
[Serenity.ComponentModel.DisplayFormat("HH:mm")]
public Time Time { get; set; }`
However nor the date picker or the time field show a time picker for lack of a better term.
I would like to have the time show either with the date picker or in its own filed.
Answer provide by Leo over Serenity Whatsup group. Simply to use DateTimeEditor
[DateTimeEditor(IntervalMinutes =1)]
public DateTime? EventDate { get; set; }

I have a problem with an SQLite database in my Xamarin.Forms PCL project.
I have followed this example from Microsoft Docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/databases
I've been using my own types to store data and it's worked Ok for simple custom types, but I've recently added List<int> and Attendance type to the custom object (Info).
Now when I try and create the object, i get the following errors:
Don't know about System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Int32]
Don't know about MyApp.Attendance
Here is the init code:
readonly SQLiteAsyncConnection database;
database = new SQLiteAsyncConnection(dbPath);
database.CreateTableAsync<UserPrefrences>().Wait();
database.CreateTableAsync<Attendance>().Wait();
database.CreateTableAsync<Info>().Wait();
I'm using Xamarin.Forms with Xamarin.iOS.
You can not store them by default like that. However there is sqlite-net-extensions which you can use to accomplish that. You can take a look about sqlite-net-extensions here.
Using this extension you will be able to do that with TextBlob property, something like this:
public class Address
{
public string StreetName { get; set; }
public string Number { get; set; }
public string PostalCode { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
}
public class Person
{
public string Name { get; set; }
[TextBlob("PhonesBlobbed")]
public List<string> PhoneNumbers { get; set; }
[TextBlob("AddressesBlobbed")]
public List<Address> Addresses { get; set; }
public string PhonesBlobbed { get; set; } // serialized phone numbers
public string AddressesBlobbed { get; set; } // serialized addresses
}
More explanation about TextBlob from url.
Text blobbed properties Text-blobbed properties are serialized into a text property when saved and deserialized when loaded. This allows
storing simple objects in the same table in a single column.
Text-blobbed properties have a small overhead of serializing and
deserializing the objects and some limitations, but are the best way
to store simple objects like List or Dictionary of basic types or
simple relationships.
Text-blobbed properties require a declared string property where the
serialized object is stored.
I just saw that there is also similar/same questions about this topic on StackOverflow already, so you can take a look at them also.
How can you store lists of objects in SQLite.net?
Can I use a List of String in a class intended for SQLite?
No code to show. I just want to understand something. I already do some MVC code (I have a model, I ask Visual Studio to create Controller and View).
Each view has only "ONE MODEL" associated. So, with Razor, I can show data from this model. I play with my code and I understand it up to now.
BUT ...
On the same view, HOW we can work with another MODEL ?
For me, a model is simply a class with properties, etc. My database has an equivalent "data table" for each model. I can manipulate it with Entity Framework ... no problem. But, I need to use DATA from different model (different table) in the SAME VIEW and Visual Studio does not give me permission to use another MODEL in the view.
What is the strategy ? (or maybe I don't understand something ...)
Thank you.
The strategy is to build a view model, a model built to be displayed, and represents the data that you need to use.
Example :
You have these classes, classes who are a representation of your database :
public class FootballTeam{
public string Name{get;set;}
public string Logo{get;set;}
}
public class FootballGame{
public Datetime Date {get;set;}
public string Competition {get;set;}
}
public class Referee{
public string Name{get;set;}
public int Experience {get;set;}
}
To display information about a match game, you can create a view model for this, class who can references some classes of your business model if necessary :
public class GameViewModel{
[DisplayName("Home team")]
public FootballTeam HomeTeam{get;set;}
[DisplayName("Referee")]
public Referee Referee{get;set;}
[DisplayName("Visitor team")]
public FootballTeam VisitorTeam {get;set;}
[DisplayName("Comments")]
public List<string> RedactionComments{get;set;}
}
And create a view who will consume this GameViewModel.
In general, when you create a new MVC project, your have a folder named "ViewModels" in your presentation layer who contains some classes like this one.
This method allows to separate your business model to your presentation model, which are 2 completely different things.
There are very good answers here : What is ViewModel in MVC?
You can update your model type of your razor view to any type you want. It will work as long as you are passing that type from your action method.
Simply open up the razor view and change the line where it says what type the model is.
#model Customer
Now you need to make sure that you are passing a Customer object from your action
public ActionResult Create()
{
return View( new Customer());
}
Also when you create a view, You do not need to necessarily select the Model type in the Dialog box. You can keep that empty and add it to the razor view as needed ( as shown above)
If you want to bring data from 2 different table, Create a new view model which has properties needed for the view and use that as your view's model type.
You should use ViewModal to Create a ViewModal that will be combination of two modals properties as per our need
ViewModel contains the fields which are represented in the strongly-typed view. It is used to pass data from controller to strongly-typed view with Own Defined Modals

Product.cs
public class Product
{
public Product() { Id = Guid.NewGuid(); }
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string ProductName { get; set; }
public virtual ProductCategory ProductCategory { get; set; }
}

I have a Timetable model which only has two attributes at the moment, an Id and Date. It's defined as so:
public class Timetable
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required, Column(TypeName = "Date"), DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")]
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}
I then scaffolded some basic CRUD functionality, and thanks to the DisplayFormat annotation it's allowing me to create timetables with dates in the dd/MM/yyyy format. However, when I edit an existing timetable, the application is populating the Date text box with 01/01/2015 00:00:00 (see screenshot).
Is there any way to make my application only use the date, rather than date and time?
In order to render the browsers datepicker (<input type="date" ..>) using EditorFor() you need the following attributes on the property (note the ISO format means the date will be displayed in accordance with the browser culture)
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", ApplyFormatInEditMode=true)]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
and in the view
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Date)
Note the HTML5 date input is not supported in older browsers, and not at all in FireFox - see comparison here
I use ASP.NET MVC4 in my solution. I have the ViewModel below where I would like to validate that the field EmergencyReason is filled only if the field Date is today. I try this:
public class LoadingViewModel
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
[RequiredIf("Date", Comparison.IsEqualTo, DateTime.Today)]
public string EmergencyReason { get; set; }
...
}
It doesn't work. The third argument of RequiredIf must be a constant expression, ...
Any idea how can I force the user to enter an EmergencyReason only if Date field is today?
Thanks.
You seem to be using some non-standard RequiredIf attribute which is not part of the standard ASP.NET MVC 4 package.
As you know C# allows you to only pass constant values to attributes. So one possibility is to write a custom attribute:
public class RequiredIfEqualToTodayAttribute: RequiredIfAttribute
{
public RequiredIfEqualToTodayAttribute(string field)
: base(field, Comparison.IsEqualTo, DateTime.Today)
{
}
}
and then:
public class LoadingViewModel
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
[RequiredIfEqualToToday("Date")]
public string EmergencyReason { get; set; }
...
}
C# doesn't support DateTime literals, a workaround for this is to use a String like this, but it won't resolve your problem. I suggest you move the validation code inside the Controller and return a ModelState.AddModelError("EmergencyReason", "Emergency Reason is required")
I'm using Entity Framework Code First. Usually I have no problem, but for a database I'm working with I keep getting errors that it can't find the table in the SQL Server database. Here is what my class looks like:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
public class CustomApp_User
{
[Key]
public int UserID { get; set; }
[MaxLength(50)]
public string Username { get; set; }
[MaxLength(250)]
public string Email { get; set; }
public DateTime DateCreated { get; set; }
public DateTime DateModified { get; set; }
}
In the database I have a table called "CustomApp_Users" to match the above. Note it has the "s" at the end.
And then I have:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.Data.Entity;
public class CustomAppDB : DbContext
{
public DbSet<CustomApp_User> CustomApp_Users { get; set; }
}
I expected EF codefirst to pluralize so that it would find "CustomApp_Users" in the database since this is how it usually works. But instead I get the error:
Invalid object name 'dbo.CustomApp_User'.
It appears it's not pluralizing the table name. I can't figure out why. One thing different with this database is that the Primary Keys do not follow the normal convention so I use the [Key] annotation.
I do know that if I use the [Table] annotation for my class it will work:
[Table("CustomApp_Users")]
But, I'd like to find out why the pluralization is not working the way I thought it would.
That is because the PluralizationService in EF can not pluralize it. It returns the same string if you pass it "CustomApp_User". Unfortunately you can not customize this service. So you need to configure the table name explicitly.
