Is there a way to define my own querystring parameter in Dynamic data rather then using something like
Edit.aspx?AccountID=1
I want to use something like this
Edit.aspx?id=1
I found a solution for this problem
I simply added this on the pageload method of my edit page template
string id = String.Empty;
if(Request.QueryString["id"] != null ){
id = Request.QueryString["id"].ToString();
DetailsDataSource.WhereParameters.Clear();
DetailsDataSource.WhereParameters.Add("AccountID", DbType.Int32, id);
}

I have been trying to find the question to my answer but I'm unable to and finally I'm here. What I want to do is access the value passed to a webpage (GET, POST request) using asp.net. To be more clear, for example:
URL: http://www.foobar.com/SaleVoucher.aspx?sr=34
Using asp.net I want to get the sr value i.e 34.
I'm from the background of C# and new to ASP.NET and don't know much about ASP.NET.
Thanx.
Can you refer to this QueryString
Here he says how to access the query string using:
Request.Url.Query
That is not called a Header, but the Query String.
the object document.location.search will contain that and the javascript to get any query string value based on the key would be something like:
function getParameterByName(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(location.search);
return results == null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}

how can i modified the querystring?
I have capture the query string like this
qs = Request.QueryString["flag"].ToString();
and then rebuilt the query string with modified values
and response.redirect(url & qs) to it
While I'm not sure I'd suggest using this approach liberally, if you wanted to reconstruct the path and query string with a few changes... you could convert the query string to an editable collection, modify it, then rebuild it from your new collection.
Goofy example...
// create dictionary (editable collection) of querystring
var qs = Request.QueryString.AllKeys
.ToDictionary(k => k, k => Request.QueryString[k]);
// modify querystring
qs["flag"] = "2";
// rebuild querystring
var redir = string.Format("{0}{1}", Request.Path,
qs.Aggregate(new StringBuilder(),
(sb, arg) => sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1}={2}",
sb.Length > 0 ? "&" : "?", arg.Key, arg.Value)));
// do something with it
Response.Redirect(redir);
While I definitely wouldn't recommend the below for production code, for testing purposes you can use reflection to make the querystring collection editable.
// Get the protected "IsReadOnly" property of the collection
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo prop = Request.QueryString.GetType()
.GetProperty("IsReadOnly", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance);
// Set the property false (writable)
prop.SetValue(Request.QueryString, false, null);
// Have your way with it.
Request.QueryString.Add("flag", "2");
To combine the required destination URL based on the Request’s properties, use something like this:
string destUrl = string.Format("{0}://{1}{2}/", Request.Url.Scheme, Request.Url.Authority, Request.Url.AbsolutePath);
if (destUrl.EndsWith("/"))
destUrl = destUrl.TrimEnd(new char[] { '/' });
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["paramName"])) {
destUrl = string.Format("{0}?paramName={1}", destUrl, "paramValueHere");
Response.Redirect(destUrl);
}
i am not sure if I understand your question. You can just alter the string qs and use.
qs = qs + "modification"
Response.Redirect("this.aspx?flag=" + qs )
The stuff in the Request class deals with the request that got you to the page. You can't edit it because the client constructed it, not the server.
I have an ASP.NET page which takes a number of parameters in the query string:
search.aspx?q=123&source=WebSearch
This would display the first page of search results. Now within the rendering of that page, I want to display a set of links that allow the user to jump to different pages within the search results. I can do this simply by append &page=1 or &page=2 etc.
Where it gets complicated is that I want to preserve the input query string from the original page for every parameter except the one that I'm trying to change. There may be other parameters in the url used by other components and the value I'm trying to replace may or may not already be defined:
search.aspx?q=123&source=WebSearch&page=1&Theme=Blue
In this case to generate a link to the next page of results, I want to change page=1 to page=2 while leaving the rest of the query string unchanged.
Is there a builtin way to do this, or do I need to do all of the string parsing/recombining manually?
You can't modify the QueryString directly as it is readonly. You will need to get the values, modify them, then put them back together. Try this:
var nameValues = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(Request.QueryString.ToString());
nameValues.Set("page", "2");
string url = Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
string updatedQueryString = "?" + nameValues.ToString();
Response.Redirect(url + updatedQueryString);
The ParseQueryString method returns a NameValueCollection (actually it really returns a HttpValueCollection which encodes the results, as I mention in an answer to another question). You can then use the Set method to update a value. You can also use the Add method to add a new one, or Remove to remove a value. Finally, calling ToString() on the name NameValueCollection returns the name value pairs in a name1=value1&name2=value2 querystring ready format. Once you have that append it to the URL and redirect.
Alternately, you can add a new key, or modify an existing one, using the indexer:
nameValues["temp"] = "hello!"; // add "temp" if it didn't exist
nameValues["temp"] = "hello, world!"; // overwrite "temp"
nameValues.Remove("temp"); // can't remove via indexer
You may need to add a using System.Collections.Specialized; to make use of the NameValueCollection class.
You can do this without all the overhead of redirection (which is not inconsiderable). My personal preference is to work with a NameValueCollection which a querystring really is, but using reflection:
// reflect to readonly property
PropertyInfo isReadOnly = typeof(System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection).GetProperty("IsReadOnly", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
// make collection editable
isReadOnly.SetValue(this.Request.QueryString, false, null);
// remove
this.Request.QueryString.Remove("foo");
// modify
this.Request.QueryString.Set("bar", "123");
// make collection readonly again
isReadOnly.SetValue(this.Request.QueryString, true, null);
Using this QueryStringBuilder helper class, you can grab the current QueryString and call the Add method to change an existing key/value pair...
//before: "?id=123&page=1&sessionId=ABC"
string newQueryString = QueryString.Current.Add("page", "2");
//after: "?id=123&page=2&sessionId=ABC"
Use the URIBuilder Specifically the link textQuery property
I believe that does what you need.
This is pretty arbitrary, in .NET Core at least. And it all boils down to asp-all-route-data
Consider the following trivial example (taken from the "paginator" view model I use in virtually every project):
public class SomeViewModel
{
public Dictionary<string, string> NextPageLink(IQueryCollection query)
{
/*
* NOTE: how you derive the "2" is fully up to you
*/
return ParseQueryCollection(query, "page", "2");
}
Dictionary<string, string> ParseQueryCollection(IQueryCollection query, string replacementKey, string replacementValue)
{
var dict = new Dictionary<string, string>()
{
{ replacementKey, replacementValue }
};
foreach (var q in query)
{
if (!string.Equals(q.Key, replacementKey, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
dict.Add(q.Key, q.Value);
}
}
return dict;
}
}
Then to use in your view, simply pass the method the current request query collection from Context.Request:
<a asp-all-route-data="#Model.NextPageLink(Context.Request.Query)">Next</a>
I'm trying to redirect to another page by calling an action in controller with a specific parameter. I'm trying to use this line:
window.open('<%= Url.Action("Report", "Survey",
new { id = ' + selectedRow + ' } ) %>');
But I couldn't make it work; it gives the following error:
CS1012: Too many characters in character literal.
Can't I generate the action URL this was on the client side? Or do I have to make an Ajax call by supplying the parameter and get back the needed URL? This doesn't seem right, but I want to if it's the only way.
Is there an easier solution?
Remember that everything between <% and %> is interpreted as C# code, so what you're actually doing is trying to evaluate the following line of C#:
Url.Action("Report", "Survey", new { id = ' + selectedRow + ' } )
C# thinks the single-quotes are surrounding a character literal, hence the error message you're getting (character literals can only contain a single character in C#)
Perhaps you could generate the URL once in your page script - somewhere in your page HEAD, do this:
var actionUrl =
'<%= Url.Action("Report", "Survey", new { id = "PLACEHOLDER" } ) %>';
That'll give you a Javascript string containing the URL you need, but with PLACEHOLDER instead of the number. Then set up your click handlers as:
window.open(actionUrl.replace('PLACEHOLDER', selectedRow));
i.e. when the handler runs, you find the PLACEHOLDER value in your pre-calculated URL, and replace it with the selected row.
I usually declare a javascript variable in the section to hold the root of my website.
<%="<script type=\"text/javascript\">var rootPath = '"
+ Url.Content("~/") + "';</script>" %>
To solve your problem I would simply do
window.open(rootPath + "report/survey/" + selectedRow);
Could you do
window.open('/report/survey/' + selectedRow);
instead where selected row I assume is the id? The routing should pick this up fine.
or use getJSON
Perhaps you could use JSONResult instead. Wherever the window.open should be call a method instead i.e. OpenSurveyWindow(id);
then add some jquery similar to below
function OpenSurveyWindow(id){
$.getJSON("/report/survey/" + id, null, function(data) {
window.open(data);
});
}
now in your controller
public JsonResult Survey(int id)
{
return Json(GetMyUrlMethod(id));
}
That code isnt syntactically perfect but something along those lines should work
Just if someone is still looking for this. The controller action can have normal parameters or a model object with these fields. MVC will bind the valus automatically.
var url = '#Url.Action("Action", "Controller")';
$.post(url, {
YearId: $("#YearId").val(),
LeaveTypeId: $("#LeaveTypeId").val()
}, function (data) {
//Do what u like with result
});
You wont be able to do this, the URL.Action is a server side process so will parse before the clientside selectedRow is available. Israfel has the answer I would suggest.
If selectedRow is a client-side variable, it won't work. You have to use #Israfel implementation to link. This is because the server-side runs before the client-side variable even exists.
If selectedRow is a server-side variable within the view, change to this:
window.open('<%= Url.Action("Report", "Survey", new { id = selectedRow } ) %>');
This is because the id will infer the selectedRow variable type, or you could convert to string with ToString() method (as long as it's not null).
A way to do this that might be considered cleaner involves using the T4MVC T4 templates. You could then write the JavaScript inside your view like this:
var reportUrl = '<%= Url.JavaScriptReplacableUrl(MVC.Survey.Report())%>';
reportUrl = myUrl.replace('{' + MVC.Survey.ReportParams.id + '}', selectedRow);
window.open(reportUrl);
The advantage of this is that you get compile-time checking for the controller, action, and action parameter.
One more thing that can be done, no so clean i guess:
var url = "#Url.RouteUrl(new { area = string.Empty, controller = "Survey", action = "Report" })";
var fullUrl = url + '?id=' + selectedRow;
The easiest way is to declare a javascript variable than concate your parameter value to the link.
var url = '#Url.Action("Action","Controller")' + "/" + yourjavascriptvariable;
<a href='" + url + "'>
I'm modifying the "Edit.aspx" default page template used by ASP.NET Dynamic Data and adding some additional controls. I know that I can find the type of object being edited by looking at DetailsDataSource.GetTable().EntityType, but how can I see the actual object itself? Also, can I change the properties of the object and tell the data context to submit those changes?
Maybe you have found a solution already, however I'd like to share my expresience on this.
It turned out to be a great pita, but I've managed to obtain the editing row. I had to extract the DetailsDataSource WhereParameters and then create a query in runtime.
The code below works for tables with a single primary key. If you have compound keys, I guess, it will require modifications:
Parameter param = null;
foreach(object item in (DetailsDataSource.WhereParameters[0] as DynamicQueryStringParameter).GetWhereParameters(DetailsDataSource)) {
param = (Parameter)item;
break;
}
IQueryable query = DetailsDataSource.GetTable().GetQuery();
ParameterExpression lambdaArgument = Expression.Parameter(query.ElementType, "");
object paramValue = Convert.ChangeType(param.DefaultValue, param.Type);
Expression compareExpr = Expression.Equal(
Expression.Property(lambdaArgument, param.Name),
Expression.Constant(paramValue)
);
Expression lambda = Expression.Lambda(compareExpr, lambdaArgument);
Expression filteredQuery = Expression.Call(typeof(Queryable), "Where", new Type[] { query.ElementType }, query.Expression, lambda);
var WANTED = query.Provider.CreateQuery(filteredQuery).Cast<object>().FirstOrDefault<object>();
If it's a DD object you may be able to use FieldTemplateUserControl.FindFieldTemplate(controlId). Then if you need to you can cast it as an ITextControl to manipulate data.
Otherwise, try using this extension method to find the child control:
public static T FindControl<T>(this Control startingControl, string id) where T : Control
{
T found = startingControl.FindControl(id) as T;
if (found == null)
{
found = FindChildControl<T>(startingControl, id);
}
return found;
}
I found another solution, the other ones did not work.
In my case, I've copied Edit.aspx in /CustomPages/Devices/
Where Devices is the name of the table for which I want this custom behaviour.
Add this in Edit.aspx -> Page_Init()
DetailsDataSource.Selected += entityDataSource_Selected;
Add this in Edit.aspx :
protected void entityDataSource_Selected(object sender, EntityDataSourceSelectedEventArgs e)
{
Device device = e.Results.Cast<Device>().First();
// you have the object/row being edited !
}
Just change Device to your own table name.
