Simple Q:How do you I get the textbox to show the value. Code below fail on item.LastName
@model List<Mvc2010_11_12.Models.Employee>
@{
var grid = new WebGrid(source: Model,defaultSort: "FirstName",rowsPerPage: 3);
}
<div id="grid1">
@grid.GetHtml(columns: grid.Columns(
grid.Column("LastName"),
grid.Column(format: (item) => Html.TextBox("LastName", item.LastName))
))
</div>
Extension methods (i.e., Html.TextBox) don't work well with dynamic objects (i.e., item)... it's a limitation of c#.
You've got a few options:
format: InputExtensions.TextBox(Html, "Last Name", item.LastName) // static call
format: Html.TextBox("Last Name", (object)item.LastName) // cast as non-dynamic object
format: <input type="text" name="LastName" value="@item.LastName" /> // avoid extensions
Also, I believe there's an inherent lambda with an "item" parameter - you shouldn't need to declare this yourself.
Quite convoluted but works:
@helper TextField(Employee employee, HtmlHelper<IEnumerable<Employee>> html)
{
@html.TextBoxFor(x => employee.LastName)
}
<div id="grid1">
@grid.GetHtml(columns: grid.Columns(
grid.Column("LastName"),
grid.Column(format: item => TextField(item.Value, Html))
))
</div>
Maybe there's a better approach though. Still learning the Razor syntax and quite frankly I am a bit disappointed by the WebGrid helper after having used MVCContrib Grid.
That one works for me
@model List<Mvc2010_11_12.Models.Employee>
@{
var grid = new WebGrid(source: Model,defaultSort: "FirstName",rowsPerPage: 3);
}
<div id="grid1">
@grid.GetHtml(columns: grid.Columns(
grid.Column("LastName"),
grid.Column(format: @<span>@Html.TextBox("LastName",@item.LastName as object)</span> )
))
</div>
Try this:
grid.Column(format: (item) => Html.TextBox("LastName", (object) item.LastName))
Try this
grid.Column("AmountValue", header: "Amount", format:@<text><input name="Amount" type="text" value="@item.AmountValue"</text>)
I had to cast object to string as follows:
format: (item) => Html.ActionLink(
(item.AppCode as object).ToString(),
"Index",
"ApplicationHealthCheck",
new { Code = item.AppCode },
null),
Showing Link or plain text based upon a condition:
grid.Column(format: (dbItem) => dbItem.QtyCompleted == 0 ?
Html.ActionLink(
"Start Setup",
"SaveData",
"Workorder",
new
{
msid = dbItem.MSID,
qtyCompleted = 0,
serialNum = "ABC"
},
new
{
onclick = "return ConfirmAction('Start Setup');"
}) :
Html.Label(((DateTime)dbItem.StartTime).ToShortDateString())
)
