I have View with Partial view (is for results in table) . When i click Edit button in Search_PartiaView
i need to open popup (Partial View (AddEditGL))
and data should be loaded ajax and submit the button after update.. I need to use jquery unobtrusive validation in popup and also without refresh the page ..Please let me know hw to do..Thanks
EDIT
I Have implemented similar to this Ajax crud popup
I Have Main view and Partial view. Also AddOrEdit View for Add/edit Master.
My Current solution works.. But inmy main view i have filter based on 2 filds.
After add/edit grid load all the result but if filter applied i also need to filter the grid ..
My Javascript code Here:
jQueryAjaxPost = form => {
try {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: form.action,
data: new FormData(form),
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success: function (res) {
if (res.isValid) {
$('#view-all').html(res.html) --- here actually data coming all without filter
$('#form-modal .modal-body.p-4').html('');
$('#form-modal .modal-title').html('');
$('#form-modal').modal('hide');
showAll(4, 1); --- it is the javascript fuction call to call the
api again
}
else
$('#form-modal .modal-body.p-4').html(res.html);
},
error: function (err) {
console.log(err)
}
})
//to prevent default form submit event
return false;
} catch (ex) {
console.log(ex)
}
}
Controller:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> AddOrEditGL(int id,GLModel glModel)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var mappedGL = _mapper.Map<GLDTO>(glModel);
//Insert
if (id == 0)
{
await _glService.CreateGL(mappedGL);
}
//Update
else
{
await _glService.UpdateGL(mappedGL);
//Call Update
}
// How do i filter the based on Main view form controls
return Json(new { isValid = true, html = Helper.RenderRazorViewToString(this, "_GLViewAll", null) });
}
return Json(new { isValid = false, html = Helper.RenderRazorViewToString(this, "AddOrEditGL", glModel) });
}
my Current solution call the api again ( 2 server calls) one for update and another for call update table .. i need to do the same in single call ..Please help to do?
Note: I dont need complete solution , I only need to how to get the AddOrEditGL Controller post method Main view form control text fieds text to filter in DB

If you want to update/add and show the searched data in one request,The quick way is to copy the SearchGLPartial code to the AddOrEditGL function and pass the pageSize,pageIndex,name,code,GLSectionId and GlGroupId by ajax:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> AddOrEditGL(int id,GLModel glModel,string name,string code,string GLSectionId,string GlGroupId...)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var mappedGL = _mapper.Map<GLDTO>(glModel);
//Insert or
//Update
//copy the SearchGLPartial code here and return view with data
}
return Json(new { isValid = false, html = Helper.RenderRazorViewToString(this, "AddOrEditGL", glModel) });
}
If you just do not want to remove showViewAll() jquery,I think you could set session for the filter condition when you first search the data in SearchGLPartial action.Then in your AddOrEdit action,get the session and set the correct url.Finally,you could get the url in ajax success response:
public IActionResult SearchGLPartial(string name,string code,string GLSectionId,string GLGroupId)
{
HttpContext.Session.SetString("name", name);
HttpContext.Session.SetString("code", code);
HttpContext.Session.SetString("GLSectionId", GLSectionId);
HttpContext.Session.SetString("GLGroupId", GLGroupId);
var data = Gllist.Where(a => a.Name.Contains(name) & a.Code.Contains(code)).FirstOrDefault();//filter by yourself
return PartialView("_Search", data);
}
AddOrEdit:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> AddOrEditGL(int id,GLModel glModel)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
//Insert
//Update
var name = HttpContext.Session.GetString("name");
//other session data...
return Json(new { isValid = true, url="Home/Index?name="+name+"&code="+xxx+"&...."});
}
return Json(new { isValid = false, html = Helper.RenderRazorViewToString(this, "AddOrEditGL", glModel) });
}
Then your ajax:
success: function (res) {
if (res.isValid) {
window.location.href = response.url;
}
else
$('#form-modal .modal-body.p-4').html(res.html);
},

I recommend using the jQuery Unobtrusive AJAX library. Its very easy to use:
It can fetch partial views and place them in a container of your choice using the
data-ajax-update="#panel"
Click here
<div id="panel"></div>
This is an example of a controller action that would return the modal:
public IActionResult GetEditModal() => Partial("ViewName");
Then when the modal is placed in your container, using the data-ajax-success attribute a callback method is called, parse the form using the jQuery Unobtrusive Validation like this:
function SuccessCallback() {
//You can also use the keyword "this" instead of getting the form with jquery
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse($(this));
//or
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse($form);
}
Very useful resources : Link - jQuery Unobtrusive AJAX - GitHub
Update
What i did in previous projects is to include an empty edit modal (a modal with an empty body) then using the library and the data-ajax-update i would replace the body of that modal every time the user pressed the edit button on a table item like this:
<div class="modal fade" id="eModal" data-keyboard="false" data-backdrop="static">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
<div class="modal-content id="modalContentE">
<div class="modal-header">
<h4 class="modal-title"><i class="nav-icon fas fa-edit"></i> Edit Data</h4>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true"><i class="fas fa-times-circle text-white"></i></span>
</button>
</div>
//New data goes here
</div>
</div>
</div>
And your add Modal would be a regular full modal and each time the user use it to submit data, clear the form.

Partial View Not Rendering Inside View

I have a partial view inside another partial view which, when first running the application loads as expected, but when you click to reload the view to push a model into it, it then renders as it's own completely separate view as if it weren't a partial.
I'm calling it inside an Ajax Form like so (On the Action link click, the _GetSearchModal method):
<div id="modelSearch">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-title">
<i class="fa fa-search"></i> Search by Model / Manufacturer
</h3>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("_GetSearch", "Home", new AjaxOptions() {UpdateTargetId = "modelSearch"}))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="input-group">
#Html.TextBox("search", null, new {id = "name", #class = "form-control", placeholder = "Please enter a manufacturer or model"})
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button id="search" class="btn btn-default" type="submit"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
</span>
</div>
if (Model != null)
{
<div id="searchResults" class="fade-in two">
#foreach (var s in Model)
{
<div class="result">
#switch (s.ResultType)
{
case "Man":
#s.Manufacturer
break;
case "Mod":
#Html.ActionLink(s.Manufacturer + Html.Raw(s.Model), "_GetSearchModal", "Home", new {id = s.MachineId}, new {toggle = "modal", data_target = "#MachineModal"})
<img src="~/Images/General/Tier/#(s.TierId).png" alt="Tier #s.TierId"/>
break;
}
</div>
}
</div>
}
}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Product Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="MachineModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="MachineModalLabel">
#Html.Partial("_SearchModal", new MachineModal())
</div>
And the view itself should load a different view model (MachineModal):
#model SpecCheck.Portals.Web.UI.ViewModels.MachineModal
#if (Model != null)
{
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="MachineModalLabel">#Model.Manufacturer #Model.Model</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<img src="~/Images/#Model.Manufacturer/logo.png" alt="#Model.Manufacturer" /><br />
Wiki
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
#Model.Catagory1 | #Model.Category2<br /><br />
<span class="modal-em">Region: </span> #Model.Region<br />
<span class="modal-em">Status: </span>#Model.Status<br />
<span class="modal-em">Spec Date: </span>#Model.SpecDate
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
View
Quick Compare
Compare
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
And the action to do this in the "Home Controller" is:
public ActionResult _GetSearchModal(string machineId)
{
using (var db = new SpecCheckDbContext())
{
MachineModal machine = new MachineModal();
var searchHelper = new SearchHelper(db);
//Get Machine Details
var dbResults = searchHelper.SearchModal(Convert.ToInt32(machineId));
machine.Model = dbResults.Model;
machine.Catagory1 = dbResults.Catagory1;
machine.Category2 = dbResults.Category2;
machine.Manufacturer = dbResults.Manufacturer;
machine.Region = dbResults.Region;
machine.SpecDate = dbResults.SpecDate;
machine.Status = dbResults.Status;
machine.MachineId = dbResults.MachineId;
machine.ManufacturerId = dbResults.ManufacturerId;
var model = machine;
return PartialView("_SearchModal", model);
}
}
First thing I checked was the scripts, they're all in place when the layout page loads so it's not a script issue. Not sure what to change to even try at this point so any suggestions welcome.

In the ajax form:
_GetSearch => _GetSearchModal(name of the action)
Try to return machine to the partial view? Maybe see in the View hierarchy, is there is second _SearchModal partial view, that gets returned?

How I can use html tags for input and submit in asp.net mvc 5 without Html.BeginForm?

net mvc 5 application and for this I use bootstrap because it looks fine.
I don't want to use for an input and a searchbutton the
#using (Html.BeginForm("...
Can I control the html tags without this from my controller. For example here is my index.cshtml
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<h2>Suche</h2>
<div id="custom-search-input">
<div class="input-group col-md-12">
<input type="text" class=" search-query form-control" placeholder="Search" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-danger" type="button">
<span class=" glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I want if I click on the Searchbutton I get a message with the text from the inputfield.
Here is the Controller:
public ActionResult Search(string value)
{
//listofUsers is a arraylist of all users that found^^
return View(listofUsers);
}
How I can do this? :)

Add a div to show the result:
<div id="custom-search-input">
<div class="input-group col-md-12">
<input type="text" class=" search-query form-control" placeholder="Search" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-danger" type="button">
<span class=" glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="custom-search-result"></div>
Then in a script tag or a linked js file:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.custom-search-input').each(function () {
var sinput = $(this);
var svalue = sinput.find('input');
var sresult = sinput.next('.custom-search-result');
sinput.find('button').click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: '/ControllerName/Search?value=' + svalue.val(),
type: 'GET'
}).done(function (result) {
sresult.html(result);
});
});
});
});
This is a basic example with no error handling.

First I highly recommend reading Philip Walton (Google) - Decoupling your HTML, CSS and Javascript, it's extremely good.
Here how I would use MVC to it's full potential.
Model:
// Extensible Programming
// Using a string limits additional features
// Future proofing via a class that takes 2 minutes to create
public class GlobalSearch
{
public string SearchTerms { get; set; }
}
View:
#Model GlobalSearch
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<h2>Suche</h2>
<div id="custom-search-input">
#using (Html.BeginForm("Search"))
{
<div class="input-group col-md-12">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.SearchTerms, new {
#class="search-query form-control",
placeholder="Search" })
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-danger" type="button">
<span class=" glyphicon glyphicon-search js-form-submit"></span>
</button>
</span>
</div>
}
</div>
</div>
</div>
Controller:
// Strongly Typed Class is Returned
public ActionResult Search(GlobalSearch search)
{
return View(listofUsers);
}
The following script will require this fantastic script called form2js which correctly converts any strongly-typed forms generated by MVC (arrays, lists etc) into Json that will be ModelBinded correctly.
$(document).ready(function() {
('.js-form-submit').on('click', function() {
var $form = $(this).closest('form');
var json = form2js($form);
var ajaxSettings = {
url: $form.attr('action'),
type: $form.attr('method'),
data: json,
contentType: "application/json",
}
$.ajax(ajaxSettings)
.done()
.always()
.fail();
});
});
Of course this could be easily abstract into it's own javascript class/namespace that returns the promise and reusable on any form that simply has a button with the class js-form-submit instead of continually rewriting $.ajax over and over again each time for different forms.

MVC multiple different submit buttons? what is the best approach?

UPDATE:
Here is my .html page looks like and withing the form tag I have couple of buttons (page size, save to db, remote items)
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="panel panel-info">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-title">Records</h3>
</div>
#using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "MyController", FormMethod.Post, new { #id = "form_header" }))
{
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="" class="col-xs-5 control-label">Rows per page:</label>
<div class="col-xs-4">
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.PageSize,
new List<SelectListItem>
{
new SelectListItem() { Text = "10", Value = "10" },
new SelectListItem() { Text = "25", Value = "25" },
new SelectListItem() { Text = "50", Value = "50" },
new SelectListItem() { Text = "ALL", Value = "ALL" }
}, new { #class = "form-control", Name = "pageSizeDDL" })
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row text-right">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<button class="btn btn-success" type="submit" id="btnSavetoDB" name="saveToDB" value="Save to DB">
<span> <i class="fa fa-save"></i> Save to Database </span>
</button>
<button class="btn btn-danger" type="submit" id="btnRemoveFromGrid" name="removeItems" value="Remove Item From Grid">
<span> <i class="fa fa-remove"></i> Remove </span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-14">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="test" style="overflow: scroll; width: 100%">
<div style="width: 1000px">
#if (Model != null)
{
//grid
}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
</div>
I have seen all sorts of approach but still not convinced the best way to handle and in my situation I have multiple buttons or events that fire based on the user action: for an example in my case:
in the form:
I have page size dropdown where user can select number of rows to display
I have a import button to import the doc
I have save button - save to db
I have a remove button - remove from grid
currently this is how I have laid out:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(HttpPostedFileBase file, FormCollection formCollection, string pageSizeDDL, string saveToDB, string removeItems, string PageList)
{
if (file upload) {....}
if (formCollection) { .... }
if (pageSizeDDl {....}
..........
}
my question is:
What if i need the form values for all buttons or perhaps is that right approach the way I'm doing?
I have seen wrapping each button in it's own form in view which I things its not the correct approach and the reason is if I have 10 button in a single page does it mean I have to have 10 form?

ASP MVC Submit button not doing anything. At all

I have a (simple) ASP MVC view:
<div class="row">
<div id="dashboard-left" class="col-md-8">
#using (Html.BeginForm("ConfigureOffers", "Offers", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))

</div>
<div class="accordion" id="accordion2">
<div class="widget" style="background:#fff !important">
#{
int i = 0;
}
#foreach (var prod in Model.allProducts)
{
<div class="accordion-group">
<div class="accordion-heading">
<a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="accordion2" href="#collapse#(i)">

</div>
<div id="collapse#(i)" class="accordion-body collapse" style="height: 0px;">
<div class="accordion-inner" style="margin-left: 10px;">
<div style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><strong>Total product:</strong> #{
for (int k = 0; k < Model.OfferHeaders.Count(); k++)
{
if (Model.OfferHeaders[k].Product_ID == prod.Product_ID)
{
#Html.TextBoxFor(o => o.OfferHeaders[k].Amount_DEC);
break;
}
}
}
</div> #*prod div*#

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

<input type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Save Changes" />
</div> #*widget*#
</div> #*accordion*#
}
</div>
<!-- col-md-4 -->
</div>
<!--row-->
The basis of this view was taken from another (working page), but for some reason, clicking the submit button doesn't trigger the server action detailed in the BeginForm element. I get no errors from Visual Studio, nor any JavaScript errors from the browser console, and nothing seems to happen server-side.

One possible reason for Action not happening is mainly when you put
the action in the View and also created the page. but i think you
have forgot mentioning the ActionResult in the controller.
Another possible option is you have to use [HttpPost] above your
method in controller where you specified the ActionResult
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ConfigureOffers(ModelClass instance)
{
...
}

Other possible reasons
The routes are not correct
The Form Action property is not correct
You are using nested FORM tags
