Updated 08/14/2012 12:05pm I will try to explain my situation and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a form in my project that will have several tables involved all of the tables are already set up with relationships. Here are the models that are related.
namespace QQAForm.Models
{
public class AuditSchedule
{
public virtual int AuditScheduleID { get; set; }

public virtual int ReferenceNo { get; set; }
public virtual int DisplayIndex { get; set; }
public virtual int SuggestionID { get; set; }
public virtual string Question { get; set; }

}
I am having a difficult time figuring out how to display a question from one table that has a relationship with another table with sub questions and check boxes for the answer. The answers are simple Yes, No, and N/A. They are also held in a different table. The reason i have all of this in data tables is they have to be editable or if i want to add to the areas. This is what the page should look like. i have incerted text to give the look for the page.
Layout:
<html>
<head>
<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>
<link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"> </script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="head" class="container">
@Html.Partial("Header")
</div>
<div class="container">
<div id="main">
<ul id="breadcrumbs">
</ul>
<div id="formTopCol">
@RenderBody()
@*@Html.Partial("_Audit")*@
</div>
<div id="formBottomCol">
@Html.Action("_SubCategory")
<div id="formBottomRightCol">
@Html.Action("_Forms")
@*@RenderBody()*@
</div>
<div style="clear:left;"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
@Html.Partial("Footer")
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is what it looks like:
I have set up in the global.asax a string to accept a audit record and then pull the main question. there is a side menu that will select the question area's. This is done in a view where the Audit schedule is the Body and the side menu and form question/answers are Html.Action() for partials.
Global Code:
routes.MapRoute(
"AuditSchedule", // Route name
"AuditSchedule/Audit/{id}/{section}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "AuditSchedule", action = "Audit", id = UrlParameter.Optional, section = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
I have tried to play around with a view model for this but i cannot get this to work. When it comes to databases in C# coding i am really weak.
Here is the Model i am working on with the controller:
namespace QQAForm.ViewModels
{
public class AuditFormEdit
{
public Models.MainAnswer ScoreInstance { get; set; }
public List<ScoreCardCheckBoxHelper> ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList { get; set; }
public void InitializeScoreCheckBoxHelperList(List<Models.Score> ScoreList)
{
if (this.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList == null)
this.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList = new List<ScoreCardCheckBoxHelper>();
if (ScoreList != null
&& this.ScoreInstance != null)
{
this.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList.Clear();
ScoreCardCheckBoxHelper scoreCardCheckBoxHelper;
string scoreTypes =
string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.ScoreInstance.Score) ?
string.Empty : this.ScoreInstance.Score;
foreach (Models.Score scoreType in ScoreList)
{
scoreCardCheckBoxHelper = new ScoreCardCheckBoxHelper(scoreType);
if (scoreTypes.Contains(scoreType.ScoreName))
scoreCardCheckBoxHelper.Checked = true;
this.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList.Add(scoreCardCheckBoxHelper);
}
}
}
public void PopulateCheckBoxsToScores()
{
this.ScoreInstance.Score = string.Empty;
var scoreType = this.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList.Where(x => x.Checked)
.Select<ScoreCardCheckBoxHelper, string>(x => x.ScoreName)
.AsEnumerable();
this.ScoreInstance.Score = string.Join(", ", scoreType);
}
public class ScoreCardCheckBoxHelper : Models.Score
{
public bool Checked { get; set; }
public ScoreCardCheckBoxHelper() : base() { }
public ScoreCardCheckBoxHelper(Models.Score scoreCard)
{
this.ScoreID = scoreCard.ScoreID;
this.ScoreName = scoreCard.ScoreName;
}
}
}
}
Controller section:
//get
public ActionResult _Forms(int id)
{
AuditFormEdit viewModel = new AuditFormEdit();
//viewModel.ScoreInstance = _db.MainAnswers.Single(r => r.AuditScheduleID == id);
viewModel.InitializeScoreCheckBoxHelperList(_db.Scores.ToList());
return View(viewModel);
}
//post
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult _Forms(int id, AuditFormEdit viewModel)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
viewModel.PopulateCheckBoxsToScores();
_db.Entry(viewModel.ScoreInstance).State = System.Data.EntityState.Modified;
_db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("/");
}
else
{
return View(viewModel);
}
}
As i stated before the ViewModel does not work because i am asking for an id that does not exist. Right now the view model only has code to populate check boxes for the answers.
Added view codes 08/14/2012 1:00pm
Form partial view mostly test but script that compliments the check box code
@{ Layout = null; }
@model QQAForm.ViewModels.AuditFormEdit
<table width="698" border="2" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td align="center"><b>Section</b><br />1.0</td>
<td><b>Glass edge damage noted. (shells, flakes, sharks teeth)</b>
<br /><br />
@Html.CheckBox("suggestion1")
It was noted that there was a significant amount of glass edge damage observed on the IG units being produced.
This glass edge damage may lead to a significantly high glass breakage rate in IG unit handling, in the glazing operation and in service.
[MAJOR CONCERN]
The cause of this glass edge damage should be determined and efforts made to eliminate the damage.
<br /><br />
@Html.CheckBox("suggestion2")
The glass edge should be smooth and free of chips, flakes, wings, or other damage. Damaged edges may result in stress cracks or premature IG unit failure.
[MAJOR CONCERN]
<br /><br />
<label>Additional Notes:</label><br />
@Html.TextArea("Additional Notes")
<br />
</td>
<td>
@for (int index = 0; index < Model.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList.Count; index++)
{
@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList[index].Checked)
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList[index], Model.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList[index].ScoreName)
@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList[index].ScoreID)
@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.ScoreCardCheckBoxHelperList[index].ScoreName)
}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here is the side menu partial:
@{ Layout = null; }
@model IEnumerable<QQAForm.Models.SubCategory>
<div id="menuCol">
<h3>Audit Sections</h3>
<ul>
<li>
@foreach (var item in Model)
{
<div class="sidemenu">
@Html.ActionLink(item.SubcategoryName, "Audit", new { section = item.SubCategoryID }, null)
</div>
}
</li>
</ul>
</div>
This is the Body:
@model QQAForm.Models.AuditSchedule
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
Layout = "~/Views/AuditSchedule/_FormLayout.cshtml";
}
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<fieldset>
<table class="audit-display">
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Customer</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>State</th>
<th>EPG TSM Rep/NAM</th>
<th>EPG RSM (or NAM's VP)</th>

<table class="audit-display">
