MVC Grid Wrapper with Popup Editing and Dropdown

[Paul]

Could someone provide or point me to a working example of how to popup add and edit a grid item that also contains a foreign key.
e.g.

ProductType:
ID
Name

Product:
ProductID
ProductName
ProductType

Product            Product Type
Peas                Vegetable
Melon               Fruit

Hello John,

You can start from this example and update the following:

1. Change the edit mode to GridEditMode.PopUp
   .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp))
2. Remove the toolbar.Save() command
3. Remove Batch(true)
4. Remove ServerOperations(false)
5. Open the ProductViewModel class and set its UIHint attribute to GridForeignKey
     [UIHint("GridForeignKey")]
     public int? CategoryID { get; set; }

You can find more details about running the ASP.NET MVC sample application here.

Thank You, Atanas

I am using this technique and it is mostly working nicely so far. Is there any way, however, to make the primary key column read only (or hidden) during the popup editing and when adding new records? Even though I have marked the field using model.Field.Editabled(false) is actually allows the user to edit it (even though changes are ignored). I also wouldn't mind hiding it.

Hi Paul,

The generated PopUp form will render all fields from the model, but you can prevent certain field from being included by setting the ScaffoldColumn attribute to "false" in the model:

[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
public int ProductID
{
    get;
    set;
}

Hope this helps.
