How do I programmatically change (override) the current culture (set in web.config) ?
sounds simple but tried different code for hours without any result. Let start with this :
option 1
#Html.ActionLink("French", "SetFrenchCulture", "Culture")
#Html.ActionLink("English", "SetEnglishCulture", "Culture")
...
public class CultureController : Controller
{
public ActionResult SetEnglishCulture()
{
HttpContext.Session["culture"] = "en-US";
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
public ActionResult SetFrenchCulture()
{
HttpContext.Session["culture"] = "fr-FR";
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
}
Option 2
public void SetLanguage(string lang)
{
try
{
var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo(lang);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(cultureInfo.Name);
HttpCookie langCookie = new HttpCookie("culture", lang);
langCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(1);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(langCookie);
}
catch (Exception) { }
}
Switching with web.config works perfectly. Thanks

works pefectly!! culture in mvc is extremely particular.

I have the same issue as the below link but with a different graph (APPrintChecks)
how-do-i-override-pxfilteredprocessingjoin-in-a-graph-extension-without-altering
I am overriding the main view to pull in the remittance name from APContact to show in the grid.
[PXFilterable]
public PXFilteredProcessingJoin<APPayment, PrintChecksFilter,
InnerJoin<Vendor, On<Vendor.bAccountID, Equal<APPayment.vendorID>>,
InnerJoin<APContact, On<APContact.contactID, Equal<APPayment.remitContactID>>>>,
Where<boolTrue, Equal<boolTrue>>,
OrderBy<Asc<Vendor.acctName, Asc<APPayment.refNbr>>>> APPaymentList;
However, I do not know how to override the delegate so I won't have the same problem as the other poster (no filter being applied).
protected virtual IEnumerable appaymentlist()
{
if (cleared)
{
foreach (APPayment doc in APPaymentList.Cache.Updated)
{
doc.Passed = false;
}
}
foreach (PXResult<APPayment, Vendor, PaymentMethod, CABatchDetail> doc in PXSelectJoin<APPayment,
InnerJoinSingleTable<Vendor, On<Vendor.bAccountID, Equal<APPayment.vendorID>>,
InnerJoin<PaymentMethod, On<PaymentMethod.paymentMethodID, Equal<APPayment.paymentMethodID>>,
LeftJoin<CABatchDetail, On<CABatchDetail.origModule, Equal<BatchModule.moduleAP>,
And<CABatchDetail.origDocType, Equal<APPayment.docType>,

And<CABatchDetail.batchNbr, IsNull,
And<APPayment.cashAccountID, Equal<Current<PrintChecksFilter.payAccountID>>,
And<APPayment.paymentMethodID, Equal<Current<PrintChecksFilter.payTypeID>>,
And<Match<Vendor, Current<AccessInfo.userName>>>>>>>,
And<APPayment.docType, In3<APDocType.check, APDocType.prepayment, APDocType.quickCheck>>>>.Select(this))
{
yield return new PXResult<APPayment, Vendor>(doc, doc);
if (_copies.ContainsKey((APPayment)doc))
{
_copies.Remove((APPayment)doc);
}
_copies.Add((APPayment)doc, PXCache<APPayment>.CreateCopy(doc));
}
}
There are other private variables that are referenced in this. Any help appreciated.
Also, if there's a simpler way to pull in a related value on a grid like this (virtual field in DAC?) I'm not stuck on doing it with a graph extension.
So this appears to work but it seems messy and duplicates a lot of code and private variables. Appreciate any feedback if there's a better way to do this:
public class APPrintChecks_Extension : PXGraphExtension<APPrintChecks> {
[PXFilterable]
public PXFilteredProcessingJoin<APPayment, PrintChecksFilter,
InnerJoin<Vendor, On<Vendor.bAccountID, Equal<APPayment.vendorID>>,
InnerJoin<APContact, On<APContact.contactID, Equal<APPayment.remitContactID>>>>,
Where<boolTrue, Equal<boolTrue>>,
OrderBy<Asc<Vendor.acctName, Asc<APPayment.refNbr>>>> APPaymentList;
public IEnumerable appaymentlist()
{
if (cleared)
{
foreach (APPayment doc in APPaymentList.Cache.Updated)
{
doc.Passed = false;
}
}
foreach (PXResult<APPayment, Vendor, APContact, PaymentMethod, CABatchDetail> doc in PXSelectJoin<APPayment,

LeftJoin<CABatchDetail, On<CABatchDetail.origModule, Equal<BatchModule.moduleAP>,
And<CABatchDetail.origDocType, Equal<APPayment.docType>,
And<CABatchDetail.origRefNbr, Equal<APPayment.refNbr>>>>>>>>,
Where2<Where<APPayment.status, Equal<APDocStatus.pendingPrint>,
And<CABatchDetail.batchNbr, IsNull,
And<APPayment.cashAccountID, Equal<Current<PrintChecksFilter.payAccountID>>,
And<APPayment.paymentMethodID, Equal<Current<PrintChecksFilter.payTypeID>>,
And<Match<Vendor, Current<AccessInfo.userName>>>>>>>,
And<APPayment.docType, In3<APDocType.check, APDocType.prepayment, APDocType.quickCheck>>>>.Select(Base))
{
yield return new PXResult<APPayment, Vendor, APContact>(doc, doc, doc);
if (_copies.ContainsKey((APPayment)doc))
{
_copies.Remove((APPayment)doc);
}
_copies.Add((APPayment)doc, PXCache<APPayment>.CreateCopy(doc));
}
}
private bool cleared;
public void Clear()
{
Base.Filter.Current.CurySelTotal = 0m;
Base.Filter.Current.SelTotal = 0m;
Base.Filter.Current.SelCount = 0;
cleared = true;
Base.Clear();
}
private readonly Dictionary<object, object> _copies = new Dictionary<object, object>();
}
Per Rick's suggestion I implemented the FieldSelecting method. Much, much simpler/cleaner code. It does in fact cause a round trip to the database for each row when using this in a grid column, however, for check printing this should be acceptable. Thanks Rick! Code below.
protected void APPayment_UsrRemitTo_FieldSelecting(PXCache cache, PXFieldSelectingEventArgs e)
{
var row = (APPayment)e.Row;
// fill usrRemitTo from APContact
if (row != null)
{
var extension = PXCache<APRegister>.GetExtension<APRegisterExt>(row);
using (PXConnectionScope cs = new PXConnectionScope())
{
APContact rec = PXSelectReadonly<APContact, Where<APContact.contactID, Equal<Required<APPayment.remitContactID>>>>.Select(Base, row.RemitContactID);
if (rec != null)
{
string remitToName = (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(rec.FullName)) ? rec.FullName : "";
e.ReturnValue = remitToName;
}
else
{
e.ReturnValue = "";
}
}
}
}
Using DBScalar, you can further simplify your event with just one line :
public class APPaymentExt : PXCacheExtension<APPayment>
{
#region UsrRemitTo
[PXString(100)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="Remit To")]
[PXDBScalar(typeof(Search<APContact.fullName,Where<APContact.contactID, Equal<APPayment.remitContactID>>>))]
public virtual string UsrRemitTo { get; set; }
public abstract class usrRemitTo : PX.Data.BQL.BqlString.Field<usrRemitTo> { }
#endregion
}
How do you model bind an array from the URI with GET in ASP.NET Core 1 Web API (implicitly or explicitly)?
In ASP.NET Web API pre Core 1, this worked:
[HttpGet]
public void Method([FromUri] IEnumerable<int> ints) { ... }
How do you do this in ASP.NET Web API Core 1 (aka ASP.NET 5 aka ASP.NET vNext)? The docs have nothing.
The FromUriAttribute class combines the FromRouteAttribute and FromQueryAttribute classes. Depending the configuration of your routes / the request being sent, you should be able to replace your attribute with one of those.
However, there is a shim available which will give you the FromUriAttribute class. Install the "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.WebApiCompatShim" NuGet package through the package explorer, or add it directly to your project.json file:
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.WebApiCompatShim": "6.0.0-rc1-final"
}
While it is a little old, I've found that this article does a pretty good job of explaining some of the changes.
Binding
If you're looking to bind comma separated values for the array ("/api/values?ints=1,2,3"), you will need a custom binder just as before. This is an adapted version of Mrchief's solution for use in ASP.NET Core.
public class CommaDelimitedArrayModelBinder : IModelBinder
{
public Task BindModelAsync(ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
{
if (bindingContext.ModelMetadata.IsEnumerableType)
{
var key = bindingContext.ModelName;
var value = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(key).ToString();
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value))
{
var elementType = bindingContext.ModelType.GetTypeInfo().GenericTypeArguments[0];
var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(elementType);
var values = value.Split(new[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
.Select(x => converter.ConvertFromString(x.Trim()))
.ToArray();
var typedValues = Array.CreateInstance(elementType, values.Length);
values.CopyTo(typedValues, 0);
bindingContext.Result = ModelBindingResult.Success(typedValues);
}
else
{
// change this line to null if you prefer nulls to empty arrays
bindingContext.Result = ModelBindingResult.Success(Array.CreateInstance(bindingContext.ModelType.GetElementType(), 0));
}
return TaskCache.CompletedTask;
}
return TaskCache.CompletedTask;
}
}
You can either specify the model binder to be used for all collections in Startup.cs:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Add framework services.
services.AddMvc().AddMvcOptions(opts =>
{
opts.ModelBinders.Insert(0, new CommaDelimitedArrayModelBinder());
});
}
Or specify it once in your API call:
[HttpGet]
public void Method([ModelBinder(BinderType = typeof(CommaDelimitedArrayModelBinder))] IEnumerable<int> ints)
ASP.NET Core 1.1 Answer
#WillRay's answer is a little outdated. I have written an 'IModelBinder' and 'IModelBinderProvider'. The first can be used with the [ModelBinder(BinderType = typeof(DelimitedArrayModelBinder))] attribute, while the second can be used to apply the model binder globally as I've show below.
.AddMvc(options =>
{
// Add to global model binders so you don't need to use the [ModelBinder] attribute.
var arrayModelBinderProvider = options.ModelBinderProviders.OfType<ArrayModelBinderProvider>().First();
options.ModelBinderProviders.Insert(
options.ModelBinderProviders.IndexOf(arrayModelBinderProvider),
new DelimitedArrayModelBinderProvider());
})
public class DelimitedArrayModelBinderProvider : IModelBinderProvider
{
public IModelBinder GetBinder(ModelBinderProviderContext context)
{
if (context == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(context));
}
if (context.Metadata.IsEnumerableType && !context.Metadata.ElementMetadata.IsComplexType)
{
return new DelimitedArrayModelBinder();
}
return null;
}
}
public class DelimitedArrayModelBinder : IModelBinder
{
public Task BindModelAsync(ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
{
if (bindingContext == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(bindingContext));
}
var modelName = bindingContext.ModelName;
var valueProviderResult = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(modelName);
var values = valueProviderResult
.ToString()
.Split(new char[] { ',' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
var elementType = bindingContext.ModelType.GetTypeInfo().GenericTypeArguments[0];
if (values.Length == 0)
{
bindingContext.Result = ModelBindingResult.Success(Array.CreateInstance(elementType, 0));
}
else
{
var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(elementType);
var typedArray = Array.CreateInstance(elementType, values.Length);
try
{
for (int i = 0; i < values.Length; ++i)
{
var value = values[i];
var convertedValue = converter.ConvertFromString(value);
typedArray.SetValue(convertedValue, i);
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
bindingContext.ModelState.TryAddModelError(
modelName,
exception,
bindingContext.ModelMetadata);
}
bindingContext.Result = ModelBindingResult.Success(typedArray);
}
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
}
There are some changes in the .NET Core 3.
Microsoft has split out the functionality from the AddMvc method (source).
As AddMvc also includes support for View Controllers, Razor Views and etc. If you don't need to use them in your project (like in an API), you might consider using services.AddControllers() which is for Web API controllers.
So, updated code will look like this:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddControllers()
.AddMvcOptions(opt =>
{
var mbp = opt.ModelBinderProviders.OfType<ArrayModelBinderProvider>().First();
opt.ModelBinderProviders.Insert(opt.ModelBinderProviders.IndexOf(mbp), new DelimitedArrayModelBinderProvider());
});
}
I've got this action in MVC
[OutputCache(Duration = 1200, VaryByParam = "*")]
public ActionResult FilterArea( string listType, List<int> designersID, int currPage = 1 )
{
// Code removed
}
that fails to present the correct HTML with url like
http://example.com/en-US/women/clothing?designersID=158
http://example.com/en-US/women/clothing?designersID=158&designersID=13
Is this a know bug of OutputCache in .NET cause cannot recognize VaryByParam with a list param or am I missing something?
I too had the same issue in MVC3 and I believe it's still the same case in MVC5.
Here is the setup I had.
Request
POST, Content-Type:application/json, passing in an array of string as the parameter
{ "options": ["option1", "option2"] }
Controller Method
[OutputCache(Duration = 3600, Location = OutputCacheLocation.Any, VaryByParam = "options")]
public ActionResult GetOptionValues(List<string> options)
I tried every option possible with OutputCache and it just wasn't caching for me. Binding worked fine for the actual method to work. My biggest suspicion was that OutputCache wasn't creating unique cache keys so I even pulled its code out of System.Web.MVC.OutputCache to verify. I've verified that it properly builds unique keys even when a List<string> is passed in. Something else is buggy in there but wasn't worth spending more effort.
OutputCacheAttribute.GetUniqueIdFromActionParameters(filterContext,
OutputCacheAttribute.SplitVaryByParam(this.VaryByParam);
Workaround
I ended up creating my own OutputCache attribute following another SO post. Much easier to use and I can go enjoy the rest of the day.
Controller Method
[MyOutputCache(Duration=3600)]
public ActionResult GetOptionValues(Options options)
Custom Request class
I've inherited from List<string> so I can call the overriden .ToString() method in MyOutputcache class to give me a unique cache key string. This approach alone has resolved similar issues for others but not for me.
[DataContract(Name = "Options", Namespace = "")]
public class Options: List<string>
{
public override string ToString()
{
var optionsString= new StringBuilder();
foreach (var option in this)
{
optionsString.Append(option);
}
return optionsString.ToString();
}
}
Custom OutputCache class
public class MyOutputCache : ActionFilterAttribute
{
private string _cachedKey;
public int Duration { get; set; }
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
if (filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url != null)
{
var path = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.PathAndQuery;
var attributeNames = filterContext.ActionParameters["Options"] as AttributeNames;
if (attributeNames != null) _cachedKey = "MYOUTPUTCACHE:" + path + attributeNames;
}
if (filterContext.HttpContext.Cache[_cachedKey] != null)
{
filterContext.Result = (ActionResult) filterContext.HttpContext.Cache[_cachedKey];
}
else
{
base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
}
}
public override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)
{
filterContext.HttpContext.Cache.Add(_cachedKey, filterContext.Result, null,
DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(Duration), System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoSlidingExpiration,
System.Web.Caching.CacheItemPriority.Default, null);
base.OnActionExecuted(filterContext);
}
}
EDIT 2: If you're looking for an answer to a similar problem, check Stuart's answer and my comments on it.
EDIT: I am actually getting a Mono.Debugger.Soft.VMDisconnectedException. I also recently installed Windows 8.1 and Resharper (though Resharper is suspended now).
When I access a very simple list property of my view model in my MVVMCross Xamarin iOS application, the program fails. It doesn't quit most of the time: it acts like it's running. The simulator has a black screen and there is no exception. If I breakpoint on if (messagesViewModel != null) source.ItemsSource = messagesViewModel.Messages; and then type messagesViewModel.Messages into the Immediate Window, everything stops, so I can tell it is failing at this line. If instead I "step over", it never moves to the next line.
I was having similar behavior when I was toggling this code in the MvxTableViewSource:
public override int RowsInSection(UITableView tableview, int section)
{
return 1;
}
My view model looks like this:
public class MessagesViewModel : MvxViewModel
{
private List<BaseMessage> _messages = null;
public List<BaseMessage> Messages
{
get
{
return _messages; //yes, I know I'm returning null
//I wasn't at first.
}
}
public MessagesViewModel()
{
}
}
This is my ViewDIdLoad on the MvxTableViewController:
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
base.ViewDidLoad();
var source = new MessagesTableViewSource(TableView);
//was binding here, removed it for debug purposes
//failure on second line here
var messagesViewModel = ViewModel as MessagesViewModel;
if (messagesViewModel != null) source.ItemsSource = messagesViewModel.Messages;
TableView.Source = source;
TableView.ReloadData();
}
Some initialization code:
public class App : MvxApplication
{
public App()
{
var appStart = new MvxAppStart<MessagesViewModel>();
Mvx.RegisterSingleton<IMvxAppStart>(appStart);
}
}
public partial class AppDelegate : MvxApplicationDelegate
{
//empty functions removed.
public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
Window = new UIWindow(UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds);
var presenter = new MvxTouchViewPresenter(this, Window);
var setup = new Setup(this, presenter);
setup.Initialize();
var startup = Mvx.Resolve<IMvxAppStart>();
startup.Start();
Window.MakeKeyAndVisible();
return true;
}
}
I suspect whatever the error is, it isn't in any of the code you have posted.
I just created a simple ViewModel:
public class FirstViewModel
: MvxViewModel
{
private List<string> _items = new List<string>() { "One", "Two", "Three"};
public List<string> Items
{
get { return _items; }
set { _items = value; RaisePropertyChanged(() => Items); }
}
}
And a simple View:
[Register("FirstView")]
public class FirstView : MvxTableViewController
{
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
base.ViewDidLoad();
// ios7 layout
if (RespondsToSelector(new Selector("edgesForExtendedLayout")))
EdgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None;
var firstViewModel = ViewModel as FirstViewModel;
var source = new MessagesTableViewSource(TableView);
source.ItemsSource = firstViewModel.Items;
TableView.Source = source;
}
public class MessagesTableViewSource : MvxTableViewSource
{
public MessagesTableViewSource(UITableView tableView) : base(tableView)
{
tableView.RegisterClassForCellReuse(typeof(MessagesCell), new NSString("MessagesCell"));
}
protected override UITableViewCell GetOrCreateCellFor(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath, object item)
{
return tableView.DequeueReusableCell("MessagesCell");
}
}
public class MessagesCell : MvxTableViewCell
{
public MessagesCell(IntPtr handle)
: base(handle)
{
var txt = new UILabel(new RectangleF(0, 0, 320, 44));
Add(txt);
this.DelayBind(() =>
{
this.CreateBinding(txt).Apply();
});
}
}
}
And this code runs fine...
I wouldn't completely trust the integration of Xamarin.iOS with the Immediate window - it is better now than it used to be, but I've seen several problems with it before.
Some things to possibly check:
does the above code work for you?
if it does, then what's in your BaseMessage and MessagesTableViewSource classes - perhaps they are causing the problem?
can you use Mvx.Trace("The list is {0}", messagesViewModel.Messages ?? "-null") to view the list? Can you use trace within the ViewModel property get - is it being called? Can you use trace within the ViewModel constructor?
are all your assemblies building against the same versions of things? Are all your assemblies definitely rebuilt? (Check "Build|Configuration Manager")- what version of Xamarin.iOS are you running in VS and in the Mac?
In my MVC 2 project, I originally used Ninject 2 and wrote this version of the NinjectControllerFactory:
public class NinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
private IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel(new HandiGamerServices());
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
try
{
if (controllerType == null)
{
return base.GetControllerInstance(requestContext, controllerType);
// return null;
}
}
catch (HttpException ex)
{
if (ex.GetHttpCode() == 404)
{
IController errorController = kernel.Get<ErrorController>();
((ErrorController)errorController).InvokeHttp404(requestContext.HttpContext);
return errorController;
}
else
{
throw ex;
}
}
return (IController)kernel.Get(controllerType);
}
Of most importance is the retrieval of my ErrorController, which allows me to gracefully handle a multitude of HTTP errors.
The problem is that I upgraded to the MVC 2 extension via Nuget, so a NinjectControllerFactory is already provided. Would it be possible to use my own override of GetControllerInstance? If so, how?
I do exactly this, and for precisely the same reason. In Global.asax.cs, I add this to my OnApplicationStarted override (declared virtual in NinjectHttpApplication):
ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(
new MyControllerFactory(ControllerBuilder.Current.GetControllerFactory()));
This means you're creating your own controller factory, but providing it with the default implementation to do the heavy lifting.
Then define your controller factory like so:
public class MyControllerFactory : IControllerFactory
{
private IControllerFactory defaultFactory;
public MyControllerFactory(IControllerFactory defaultFactory)
{
this.defaultFactory = defaultFactory;
}
public IController CreateController(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName)
{
try
{
var controller = defaultFactory.CreateController(requestContext, controllerName);
return controller;
}
catch (HttpException e)
{
// Pasted in your exception handling code here:
if (ex.GetHttpCode() == 404)
{
IController errorController = kernel.Get<ErrorController>();
((ErrorController)errorController).InvokeHttp404(requestContext.HttpContext);
return errorController;
}
else
{
throw ex;
}
}
}
public SessionStateBehavior GetControllerSessionBehavior(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName)
{
return defaultFactory.GetControllerSessionBehavior(requestContext, controllerName);
}
public void ReleaseController(IController controller)
{
defaultFactory.ReleaseController(controller);
}
}
As you can see, we're just using the default (Ninject) controller factory for most purposes unless it can't find the page. For obtaining the error controller, you can either pass in the kernel as you were already doing, or just call defaultFactory.CreateController using the error controller name.
