How to display count in view from a different controller

I changed the Person controller and Home view.
I have 209 people in the database. And that's how it shows me in the Person view.
When I interrupt the code count shows me 0.
View Home:
I also made changes here.
#model Legolandia.Models.Store
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}
<div class="jumbotron">
<div class="row">
#section Scripts {
<script>
// document.ready is fired once the page has loaded in the browser
$(document).ready(function () {
// set the url to get the data from the PersonController
var url = '#Url.Action("GetPersonCount", "Person")';
// use jQuery.getJSON to get our data from the controller
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
// update the element with the count from the controller
$('#personCount').text(data.count);
});
});
</script>
}
<div id="orange" class="col-md-4">
<a class="change-a" href="/Person/Index">
<div class="change-title">
Person in system: <span id="personCount"></span>
</div>
Controller Person:
I also made changes here.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Legolandia.Models;
namespace Legolandia.Controllers
{
public class PersonController : Controller
{
private LegolandEntities db = new LegolandEntities();
// GET: Person
public ActionResult Index()
{
var person = db.Person.Include(o => o.xxx);
ViewBag.PersonCount = db.Person.Count();
return View(person.ToList());
}
public ActionResult GetPersonCount()
{
var count = db.Person.Count(); // get count from database
var data = new { count }; // anonymous type
return Json(data); // return serialized Json data
}

Since you need to get data from PersonController and display it in a view of HomeController, I'd suggest using Ajax.
Create a new method in PersonController to return the data you need. This method will return Json data which you can use in the view.
public ActionResult GetPersonCount()
{
var count = db.Person.Count(); // get count from database
var data = new { count }; // anonymous type
return Json(data, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); // return serialized Json data
}
Note: If you're using .Net Core you don't need the JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet in the Json result.
Now, in Home/Index.cshml you will need to add some JavaScript. I'll actually use jQuery since it makes this task a little easier. Make sure you include jQuery on the page (MVC comes with jQuery included these days).
First, in Home/index.cshtml create a <span> element which will hold the value for PersonCount:
<div class="change-title">
Person in system: <span id="personCount"></span>
</div>
Now, near the bottom of Home/index.cshtml add some script tags:
#section Scripts {
<script>
// document.ready is fired once the page has loaded in the browser
$(document).ready(function () {
// set the url to get the data from the PersonController
var url = '#Url.Action("GetPersonCount", "Person")';
// use jQuery.getJSON to get our data from the controller
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
// update the element with the count from the controller
$('#personCount').text(data.count);
});
});
</script>
}
Finally, in _Layout.cshtml make sure you put #RenderSection("Scripts", required: false) near the bottom of the page (below #RenderBody()).
Here I have used $.getJSON. It performs an ajax request to Person/GetPersonCount. Then we update the <span> with the person count from the GetPersonCount in PersonController.
Here's the result:

This method worked for me:
ViewBag.PatientCount = (from x in Hasta.TblPatient select x).Count();

In your controller, save count in ViewData:
{
ViewData["Users"] = _userManager.Users.Count();
return View();
}
In your view, retrieve the value:
#Html.ViewData["Users"]

Unable to display WEBAPI data in Angularjs repeat directive

Can somebody help in displaying webapi data in angularjs repeat directive in my first Angular application?
I'm getting data from the WEBAPI as expected like below
[{"FLAVOR_ID":"BES","FLAVOR_NAME":"BES"},{"FLAVOR_ID":"BUN","FLAVOR_NAME":"BUN"}]
API Controller:
public class ItemMaintenanceController : ApiController
{
ItemMaintenanceRepository itemRepository;
public ItemMaintenanceController(ItemMaintenanceRepository _itemRepository)
{
itemRepository = _itemRepository;
}
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<MA_Flavor> GetAllFlavors()
{
return itemRepository.GetAllFlavors();
}
}
Client.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> Client</title>
<script src="Scripts/angular.js"></script>
<script src="Scripts/angular-resource.js"></script>
<script>
alert("start");
var app = angular.module("myapp", ['ngResource']);
var controller = function ($scope, $resource) { // controller uses $resource, which is part of ngResource
$scope.flavor = {};
$scope.getFlavors = function () {
alert("calling getflvors");
var request = $resource("http://localhost:55762/api/ItemMaintenance/GetAllFlavors?Id=CMN");
$scope.flavor = request.query();
};
////$scope.clear = function () {
//// $scope.flavor = {};
//// $scope.error = "";
////}
$scope.getFlavors();
myapp.controller("ItemMaintenanceController", controller);
</script>
</head>
<body ng-app="contacts">
<div ng-controller="ItemMaintenanceController">
<select ng-model="flavor">
<option ng-repeat="fl in Flavor" value="{{fl.FLAVOR_NAME}}">{{fl.FLAVOR_NAME}}</option>
</select>
<h1>You selected: {{flavor.FLAVOR_NAME}}</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Looks like issue with the names of the ng-controller, ng-module and ng-app. Try to change and hope it will work.
<body ng-app="contacts">
<div ng-controller="ItemMaintenanceController">
<Script>
var app = angular.module('contacts', []);
// To fetch all falvors
app.controller("ItemMaintenanceController", function ($scope, $http) {
.....
...
</script>

I think you're close. based on what you have I think something like this should work:
<select ng-model="selectedFlavorId">
<option ng-repeat="fl in flavor" value="{{fl.FLAVOR_ID}}">{{fl.FLAVOR_NAME}}</option>
</select>
your data is in $scope.flavor and I assume that if you debug it will look like this:
$scope.flavor = [{"FLAVOR_ID":"BES","FLAVOR_NAME":"BES"},{"FLAVOR_ID":"BUN","FLAVOR_NAME":"BUN"}]
you want the id in your value field as that is the bit you need to know which value you selected. the value you see in dropdown should be the name of the flavor.
when you select something, that value will be reflected in the model.
as I chose selectedFlavorId, you will find that populated under $scope.selectedFlavorId. Do not override your API data with the selected value like you've just done.
selectedFlavorId will give you the ID of the item you selected so you need a bit more code after this to get the name of that property from your data array.

There may following issues in your code.
Your angular modules defined as myapp and in ng-app you have used
contacts.
You have to create two different scope variables, one for the flavor
and another is flavors. flavors you need to use under the ng-options
and flavor you have to use for ng-model.
What I understood request.query() will return the resource object,
So have two options to get data from the query. More details about
the resource you can find here
var request = $resource("http://localhost:55762/api/ItemMaintenance/GetAllFlavors?Id=CMN");
Option 1
request.query(function(data) {
$scope.flavor = data;
});
Option 2
request.query().$promise.then(function(data) {
// success
$scope.flavor = data;
}, function(errResponse) {
// fail
});

Updating layout part dynamically

C# asp.net MVC project: I have my index page with a button in it, I want to press it and update the same page with some results.
Here's some code:
The View: (with a button that calls the getConfig method in the controller)
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}
<form method="get" action="/Home/GetConfig/" >
<input type="submit" value="Get Config WS" />
</form>
<p>
#ViewBag.totalRecords
</p>
The controller:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Test webservices";
return View();
}
public void getConfig()
{
string totalRecords = string.Empty;
wsConfig.config_pttClient client = new wsConfig.config_pttClient();
wsConfig.getConfigInput gci = new wsConfig.getConfigInput();
wsConfig.getConfigOutput gco = new wsConfig.getConfigOutput();
gco = client.getConfig(gci);
totalRecords = gco.result.totalRecords.ToString();
ViewBag.totalRecords = totalRecords;
}
I want to press the view's button and show the totalRecords on the same page.
How can I achieve this?

Edit: There might be other solutions, (if you don't mind updating your entire page) but this how I generally do it.
Ok, there are a couple of things that you need to change in order to make it work:
Create a new partial view that contains just the part that you would like to update (and wrap it an element with an id). In this example, let's call it 'Partial_TotalCount'.
This partial view will contain the following code:
<div id="updated">
<p>
#ViewBag.totalRecords
</p>
</div>
Now, change your original view so that it includes the partial view:
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}
<form method="get" action="/Home/GetConfig/" >
<input type="submit" value="Get Config WS" />
</form>
#Html.Partial("Partial_TotalCount", #Model)
Now, update your controller to work with an ajax request. This would make your controller looks like:
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Test webservices";
if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
{
getconfig();
return PartialView("Partial_TotalCount");
}
return View();
}
Now, you need to be able to submit the page when you click the button. This can be done through javascript:
First your javascript function that will update the contents:
<script type="text/javascript">
function Refresh() {
$.ajax({
url: '/Home/Index',
type: "GET",
dataType: "html",
success: function(data) {
$("#updated").html(data);
},
error: function() { alert('Refreshing error.'); }
});
}
</script>
You just need to add an onclick on your button. And you can remove the form tags from around your form aswell.
Edit: As requested by the questioner, I provide a bit of explanation on the Javascript function itself:
$.ajax means that we are doing an Ajax request. It means that we are doing some asynchronous requests with the server.
Then a couple of parameters are passed:
Url: The url that should be executed. In your example, the code behind the url "Home/GetConfig" get's executed.
Type: The type of submit that you want to do (POST, GET, ...)
dataType: The type we are expecting back from the server.
Success: The piece of javascript that needs to execute when complete. (In this case, update the DIV element with the id "WithCss" with the contents that are received with the url "Home/Getconfig".
Error: A function that is executed when the request failed for some reason.
There are a lot of other parameters you can pass (for example if you need to pass an id, and others.
For more explanation, please look at the original documentation.
Also, consider marking this answer as accepted.
I hope it works.

Try This:
Replace your input button code with the following code :
<input type="submit" id="btnSave" name="BtnSave" value="Get Config WS" />
Then in controller change the whole code for this code:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Test webservices";
return View();
}
public ActionResult getConfig()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult getConfig(FormCollection Form)
{
if(Form["BtnSave"]!=null)
{
string totalRecords = string.Empty;
wsConfig.config_pttClient client = new wsConfig.config_pttClient();
wsConfig.getConfigInput gci = new wsConfig.getConfigInput();
wsConfig.getConfigOutput gco = new wsConfig.getConfigOutput();
gco = client.getConfig(gci);
totalRecords = gco.result.totalRecords.ToString();
ViewBag.totalRecords = totalRecords;
}
return View();
}
Hopefully it works...!

Ajax.BeginForm PartialView not refreshing

I am using asp.net mvc 4. I've searched many other similar questions here, but they didn't help.
I want to refresh my partial view - FileList after uploading file.
Instead I see now redirecting to page with updated file list, but i want to refresh this list in partial view. :(. Can anybody help? Another solutions to do similar features are acceptable :)
My partial view is in another (index) partial view.
Here is FileController:
private static int folderId = 0;
public ActionResult Index(int id)
{
folderId = id;
this.GetFiles();
return PartialView();
}
public PartialViewResult FileList()
{
this.GetFiles();
return PartialView("FileList");
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public PartialViewResult UploadFiles(IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> filesToUpload)
{
this.UploadFilesToBase(filesToUpload, 1);
this.GetFiles();
return PartialView("FileList");
}
and here is Index.cshtml
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/modernizr-2.6.2.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/main.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.js"></script>
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("UploadFiles", "File", null, new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", UpdateTargetId = "FilesListDiv", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace }, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
<div class="btn-upload-file">
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<span class="btn"><span>Upload file</span></span>
<input type="file" class="file" name="filesToUpload" multiple onchange="javascript:this.form.submit();"><br>
</div>
}
<div id="FilesListDiv">
#*#Html.Action("FileList", "File")*#
#Html.Partial("~/Views/File/FileList.cshtml")
</div>
and here is my FileList.cshtml
#{
Layout = null;
ViewBag.Title = "Files";
}
#foreach (MyProj.Web.DataContracts.File file in ViewBag.Files)
{
file.Name
}

Your ajax form doesn't work, probably because you haven't included jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js into the page and as a result, it works like a regular html form.
As soon as you add this file, you will be able to refresh the content via ajax, but filesToUpload will be null in the controller. The reason for that is impossibility of uploading files via ajax, because it does not support multipart/form-data enctype.
You can try to use some jQuery upload plugins ot HTML 5 File API.

Use this plugin http://malsup.com/jquery/form/ and this will submit form without the refresh. When you got the file uploaded on server then you can make a callback on the success of upload.
Get the list of file from server as render as html (through partialresult) and update them on client side browser.

something wrong in view page and url

I am using c# and ASP.NET MVC4 for a web application (with mobile template).
I'm having a problem with my Details view page. (First you select something from Index page and then it goes to Details page) I have put a bing map on the page and the map doesn't load.
First I thought it was something wrong with the map but its not.
I noticed that the url is
http://localhost:2550/Place/Details
of the page. However if I manually put a '1' on the end like so http://localhost:2550/Place/Details/1
then the map loads on the page. I don't understand why this is...
does anyone know why? thanks
my view page for Details:
#model Project.Models.Place
#{ ViewBag.Title = "Details";}
<h2>Place Details</h2>

my controller action for Details:
public ViewResult Details(int id)
{
ViewBag.events = eventRepository.PlaceEvents(id);
return View(placeRepository.Find(id));
}

Possible cause, may be you haven't written Controller default controller with Zero arguments.
Or you haven't written controller with [HttpPost] attribute
Will be easy if you put code for the controller here.

If you say that the navigation with /1 at the end works but your current url is without the number, your url on the index page is wrong.
Your url is now something like
#Html.ActionLink("Details", "Place")
Change it to something like this:
#Html.ActionLink("Details", "Place", new { id = #Model.Id })
So the problem is that your id isn't given to your details action.
