We add mutiple data of text boxes to gridview that would not update database untill user press add button...here i had tried to use viewstate but the it become null when any other event occures in MVC Arch...so this the problem.can i use dataset...if yes than how???
thank you in advance...
You don't use viewstate in MVC. You can use DataSet of course, but controls that relied on viewstate in webforms will not work.
MVC Do not have viewstate and session but you can use TempData Object instead of viewstate. in your controller you can bind like this TempDate["MyKey"]="My Value" and in the next request you can get your value in action like String s=TempData["MyKey"]
I recommend you to use strongly typed views. Here you can attach you model properties with the view elements, so that when you post back, the model object will contain all the posted values.
You can also use Display Templates, to iterate the test boxes and attach / pass model properties

I am rather new to ASP.NET MVC5. I know server side controls are not working directly in MVC, but there will be some way by which we will get similar controls in MVC5 for rapid development. Can you suggest me how can I find such controls? Can you list out all such mostly used common controls for MVC5?
Thanks in advance.
There's no concept of a "control" in MVC. There's various things that function similar to Web Form controls, but it depends on what you're trying to do.
HTML Helpers are similar in that you essentially call a function that returns rendered HTML. You can extend HtmlHelper to add your own.
Child actions function as a sort of separate request within the context of the main request. They accept parameters like an action, can do all the backend stuff an action can do (query database, etc.) and return a view rendered based on a model, like a normal view.
A partial view, in general, can function as a control as it allows you to insert a snippet of HTML somewhere.
Editor templates and display templates can be used in conjunction with Html.EditorFor and Html.DisplayFor, respectively to render a form field or some sort of HTML display for a particular property on your model.
I'm currently building a custom control to be used as an application's view navigator (classic OneUI style). First of all: this is a 8.5.3 based project, and unfortunately there's no way to use Extlib stuff or other extensions / plug-ins. So we have to build all the tricky stuff ourselves using only what came "out-of-the-box" with 8.5.3.
I'd llike to build my navigator using a repeat control containing <xp:link> controls. Datasource could be an array of javascript objects where each single object would look like this:
var navEntry = {"entryLabel" : "label-of-link",
"entryTarget" : "target-url-of-link",
"entryStyle" : "style-to-emphasize-selected-link"}
Each array element then would describe a single navigator entry.
Since the navigator will be used in all possible "DominoView" Xpages it yould make sense to build the array of JS objects at the Xpage level and then pass that info into the custom control.
I'm aware that there are multiple ways to do this, and one could be "Custom Control Properties". If there was a way to pass my JS object array.
(Hope I could make clear what I'm trying to do here...)
That object looks like a HashMap to me really. You should be able to pass that in to a custom control via custom property if you use the type java.util.HashMap I'd think. You'll need to type it in I'm sure. I've passed custom objects in by using java.lang.Object.
The custom control will get loaded during the Page Load event, and usually properties have to be available at that point. If they're loaded during the Render Response phase, that's too late. So your SSJS object will need to be Compute on Page Load.
To use contents of a repeat control, you would need to set repeatControls=true, otherwise the repeat is only built during render response. Until then it's just a single set of controls with no data in them. However, Im pretty sure repeatControls="true" means you only get the number of rows you define. You can't change it via a pager.
You can manually define the type of the custom property. For a standard SSJS Object you use "com.ibm.jscript.std.ObjectObject", for a SSJS Array you use "com.ibm.jscript.std.ArrayObject" etc. As editor for the custom property, I set the string editor ("String value").
I' working on a libary control for Xpages and need some help in creating.
I would create an control wich reads a configuration file and creates controls in a table, controls like Editboxes, checkboxgroups and so on.
Ive Build my control like Keith Strickland
in his Bolg entry
http://xprentice.gbs.com/A55BAC/keithstric.nsf/default.xsp?documentId=82770C11FA7B9B21852579C100581766
so and now to my queststion:
I would store in my configuration ssjs code for computing a defaultvalue or an validation
but how could I compute the ssjs?
the automatic generated code from the Designer uses a PageExpressionEvaluator Object but I couldent create one by my self.
someone an Idea?
You can use the ExpressionEvaluatorImpl class instead:
com.ibm.xsp.page.compiled.ExpressionEvaluatorImpl( facesContext )
Is there any chance to get the html content (mime) from a rich text component without any datasource. I would like to grab the content from the field like this. getComponent("FieldName").value but this dosen't work.
thanks.
You can bind the control to a scoped variable; for example, #{viewScope.comments}. You can then retrieve the submitted value from the scope instead of from the component itself; for example, viewScope.get("comments").
Alternatively, you can set a dataContext variable to a JS expression, e.g. <dataContext var="richText" value="#{javascript:return {value:""};}" />. Then you can bind the control to #{richText.value} and retrieve it via the same expression.
And, of course, you could define a managed bean and bind the control to one of its properties. This option provides the most flexibility, but isn't quite as simple as the other two options above.
The solution for my problem is
getComponent("FieldName").getValue()
thanks for your help.
I have a form which one of it's fields is a code and description, also a button for opening a popup window that contains a list of all of the available codes.
when the user double clickes a row from that table i want to set these values to the code and description. - how can this be done?
Another question, I want to create this popup and table to be initialized dynamically - by that i mean that if i have a few forms in my application, when ever i have a field which has a description i want to be able to open this popup and to see the available list for that field. (every field can be from a diffrent table). is it possible to create something like that? if so, how?
Any help will be appritiated,
Thank's In Advance.
Yes, it is possible. Even more, many component libraries have ready to use popup/dialog components, such as RichFaces with <rich:popupPanel> and PrimeFaces with <p:dialog>.
If you do not want to use a component library for some reason, you would need to create a custom component for this which generates basically an absolutely positioned HTML <div> element with a CSS overlay which get shown/hidden by JS on a particular click/action. The HTML/CSS/JS part should be relatively simple if you are familiar with those languages. The JSF part is somewhat hard if you have never created a custom component before, but it should be possible with a composite component as well, so you could also just create one with pure XHTML. The updating/refreshing can just take place by the usual <f:ajax> means.
