i have a User Profile Page that i want that user to update only some fields and cannot change his email or signed up date. but when i want to post that i get a validation error in those fields that are not in my view. by the way i have CUD in separate .cs . my EF models are in DomainModels folder and i override them with another model in EntityModels folder(that has the Validations). here is the codes:
Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UserProfile(Merchant merchant)
{
MerchantRepository blMerchant = new MerchantRepository();
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (blMerchant.Update(merchant))
{
return RedirectToAction("UserProfile");
//return MessageBox.Show("Product Edited Successfuly", MessageType.Success);
}
else
{
return MessageBox.Show(ModelState.GetErrors(), MessageType.Alert);
}
}
else
{
return MessageBox.Show(ModelState.GetErrors(), MessageType.Warning);
}
}
View:
@using (Html.BeginForm("UserProfile", "Merchant", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.id)
<label for="account-fn">Full Name</label>
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { @class="form-control form-control-rounded" , @required="required"})
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
<label for="account-email">Phone</label>
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Phone, new { @class = "form-control form-control-rounded", @required = "required" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Phone)
<label>DOB</label>
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Dob, new { @class = "form-control form-control-rounded" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Dob)
@Html.CheckBoxFor(model => model.NewsLetter, new { @class = "input"})
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-primary m-r-5">Update Profile</button>
}
Merchant Repository
public bool Update(MySite.Models.DomainModels.Merchant entity, bool autoSave = true)
{
try
{
db.Merchants.Attach(entity);
db.Entry(entity).State = System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Modified;
if (autoSave)
return Convert.ToBoolean(db.SaveChanges());
else
return false;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
Merchant Meta Data
internal class MerchantMetaData
{
[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
[Bindable(false)]
public int id { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please Enter Your Name", AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
[StringLength(50, ErrorMessage = "Please Enter Shorter Name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please Enter your Email Address", AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
public string Email { get; set; }
[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
public bool EmailConfirmed { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please Enter your Password", AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
public string Password { get; set; }
[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
public int MembershipId { get; set; }
[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
[DataType(DataType.DateTime)]
public System.DateTime SignupDate { get; set; }
and in namespace MySite.Models.DomainModels
[MetadataType(typeof(MySite.Models.EntityModels.MerchantMetaData))]
public partial class Merchant
{
[Compare("Password", ErrorMessage = "Confirm Password Doesn't Match The Field Above, Type Again !")]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }
}
Update
I Made a class with those fileds only and maped it as @StephenMuecke said but still getting validation error:
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult UserProfile()
{
MerchantRepository blMerchant = new MerchantRepository();
var username = User.Identity.Name;
var UserData = blMerchant.Where(x => x.Email == username).SingleOrDefault();
var user=new UserVM();
user.id = UserData.id;
user.Name = UserData.Name;
user.Dob = DateTime.Now;
user.NewsLetter = UserData.NewsLetter;
user.Gender = UserData.Gender;
user.Phone = UserData.Phone;
return View(user);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UserProfile(UserVM user)
{
MerchantRepository blMerchant = new MerchantRepository();
var username = User.Identity.Name;
var merchant = blMerchant.Where(x => x.Email == username).SingleOrDefault();
merchant.id = user.id;
merchant.Name = user.Name;
merchant.Dob = user.Dob;
merchant.NewsLetter = user.NewsLetter;
merchant.Gender = user.Gender;
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (blMerchant.Update(merchant))
{
return RedirectToAction("UserProfile");
//return MessageBox.Show("Product Edited Successfuly", MessageType.Success);
}
else
{
return MessageBox.Show(ModelState.GetErrors(), MessageType.Alert);
}
}
else
{
return MessageBox.Show(ModelState.GetErrors(), MessageType.Warning);
}
}
UserVM
public class UserVM
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public string Phone { get; set; }
public DateTime Dob { get; set; }
public string Gender { get; set; }
public bool NewsLetter { get; set; }
}
