[Solved] view dto description on grid and edit it on dropdownllist

[Marco]

Hello, i have a grid where i'm showing a strong type custom object like this way

 columns.Bound(o => o.EmentaUnidade.nome).Title("Unidade(s)");

what i want to do is edit it using a drop down list and use a uint in dto.

i will post the code here so someone could help me accomplishing this task.

my model object (dto)

namespace SIG.DomainModel.Entities
{
    [MetadataType(typeof(EmentaMetadata))]
    public partial class Ementa
    {

    }

    public class EmentaMetadata
    {

        [UIHint("refeicoes")]
        public int idRefeicao { get; set; }

        [DataType(DataType.Date)]
        public DataType data { get; set; }

        [UIHint("unidades")]
        public Unidade EmentaUnidade
        { get; set; }
    }
}

my editor template for unidades

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Globalization" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="F5ITWEB.BusinessLogicLayer" %>

<%= Html.DropDownList("", ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ILoggedOnUser>().AvailableUnities
            .Select(unidade => new SelectListItem
            {
                Text = unidade.nome,
                Selected = unidade.id.Equals(Model),
                Value = unidade.id.ToString(),
            }))%>

what is happening now is that on edit mode i see the expected behavior (the property nome is showed)

but when i pass to edit mode the unidades editor is not displayed.

if i use this editortemplate for the id of the dto what is rendered is the id and on edit mode i see the dropdownlist

someone can help me whit this task?

best regards

Marco

Hi Marco,

Unfortunately I couldn't understand what the problem is. Double check if the UIHint is properly set (casing etc) also make sure the property names of the original object and the metadata object match.

Without seeing a sample project I won't be able to help much in this case.

All the best,
