MVC-3 DropdownList or DropdownListFor - Can't

2019-08-02 19:56发布

I searches for hours (or days) and didn't find a solution yet. I want to edit a customer with a DropdownListFor for the salutation with the right preselected value.

I've got 3 entities (Database first concept, this is not my own design...): customer, address, salutation

A CUSTOMER has an address_id (f_key) and an ADDRESS has got a salutation_id (f_key). The ADDRESS holds the first and last name for example. Inside the SALUTATION entity there is a column sal1 which holds all possible salutations.

Now, I want to edit my customer via a ViewModel which looks like this:

public class CustomerViewModel
{
    public CUSTOMER cust { get; set; }
    public SelectList salutationList { get; set; }

    CustomerRepository repository = new CustomerRepository();

    public CustomerViewModel(int id)
    {
        cust = repository.GetCustomerByIdAsQueryable(id).Single();
        salutationList = new SelectList(repository.GetSalutations(), cust.ADDRESS.SALUTATION.SAL1);
    }
    // Some more
}

The CutsomerRepository methods:

public class CustomerRepository
    {
        private MyEntities db = new MyEntities();

        public IQueryable<CUSTOMER> GetCustomerByIdAsQueryable(int id) {...}

        public IQueryable<CUSTOMER> GetCustomersByName(string firstName, string lastName, int maxCount)  {...}

        public List<string> GetSalutations()
        {
            var salutationList = new List<string>();
            var salutationListQry = from s in db.SALUTATION
                                    select s.SAL1;
            salutationListTemp.AddRange(salutationListQry);
            return salutationList;
        }
        // ...
    }

This is my controller method:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CustomerData(int id, FormCollection fc)
{
    var vm = new CustomerViewModel(id);
    // Why do I need the following line?
    vm.cust = repository.GetCustomerByIdAsQueryable(id).Single();
    try
    {
        UpdateModel(vm, fc);
        repository.Save();
        return View("CustomerData", vm);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        return View();
    }
}

And finally the part from my View:

@model WebCRM.ViewModels.CustomerViewModel
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    // ...
    <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.Label("Salutation:")
        @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.cust.ADDRESS.SALUTATION.SAL1, Model.salutationList)
        // @Html.DropDownList("Salutation", Model.salutationList)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-label">
    </div>
    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.Label("Last name:")
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.cust.ADDRESS.LASTNAME)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.cust.ADDRESS.LASTNAME)
    </div>
    <p>
        <input type="submit" value="Speichern" />
    </p>
}

Changing and saving last names works fine. But when saving the salutation it changes the SAL1 value in the SALUTATION entity to the one I've chosen in the DropdownListFor. What I want is to change the salutation_id inside the ADDRESS entity for my customer. Why isn't that working?

Another strange behavoior: When removing the marked line in my CustomerController, I can't even change and save the last name. Normally the constructor of the CustimerViewModel sets the customer. So why do I have to have the line of code for setting the customer inside my ViewModel? It's duplicated, but has to be there...

Thanks in advance.

You need to have Selected property in your list.

I can show you my working example:

public static IEnumerable<SelectListItem> GetCountries(short? selectedValue)
    {
        List<SelectListItem> _countries = new List<SelectListItem>();
        _countries.Add(new SelectListItem() { Text = "Select country...", Value = "0", Selected = selectedValue == 0 });
        foreach (var country in ObjectFactory.GetInstance<DataRepository>().GetCountries())
        {
            _countries.Add(new SelectListItem()
            {
                Text = country.Name,
                Value = country.ID.ToString(),
                Selected = selectedValue > 0 && selectedValue.Equals(country.ID)
            });
        }
        return _countries;
    }  

In controller i store this into viewbag:

ViewBag.Countries = CompanyModel.GetCountries(0);

In view:

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.CompanyModel.CountryId, (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.Countries)
