问题
I'm quite new to MVC coming from windows forms and 3 tier architecture.
I'm trying to figure out using cascading dropdownlists (DDL) populated from database. Im using MS SQL Server 2012, VS 2013
Currently I'm work on user questionnaire which users can select from multiple answers from DDL. Depend on some selections I need to change answers (again DDL) on next question.
Database:
Table DDLStacks
:
StackId | StackName
1 | Berry
2 | BerryColor
3 ....
Table DDLStackContents
(SCId Stack content id, indexing purpose)
SCId | StackId | GroupId | Key | Value
--------------------------------------
1 | 1 | Null | 1 | Grape
2 | 1 | Null | 2 | Avocado
3 | 1 | Null | 3 | Banana
4 | 2 | Null | 1 | Yellow
5 | 2 | Null | 2 | Green
6 | 2 | 1 | 3 | Red
7 | 2 | 1 | 4 | Orange
8...
Procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spDLLSelect]
@p_StackName_in VARCHAR(20),
@p_GroupId_in Int = null
AS
BEGIN
SELECT [Key],Value FROM DDLStackContents
WHERE StackID IN (SELECT StackId FROM DDLStacks WHERE StackName = @p_StackName_in)
AND (GroupId = @p_GroupId_in OR @p_GroupId_in IS null)
Order By [Key]
END
As you can see DDLStacks
hold questions, DDLStackContents
holds possible answers for that question.
If there is a group we can select just the answers from that group otherwise all the answers for particular stack.
Now then I have created an ADO.NET Entity Data model to access spDLLSelect.
Now my fruit model is this
public class FruitModel
{
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> BerryList { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> BerryColorList { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Berry")]
public byte? Berry { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "BerryColor")]
public byte? BerryColor { get; set; }
}
My controller is this, I need to select color depend on type of berry. Say if Avacado select all, if Banana just group 1.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
CherryEntities db = new CherryEntities();
var model = new FruitModel();
model.BerryList = new SelectList(db.spDLLSelect("Berry", null), "Key", "Value");
//model.BerryColorList = new SelectList(db.spDLLSelect("BerryColor", null), "Key", "Value");
//model.BerryColorList = new SelectList(db.spDLLSelect("BerryColor", 1), "Key", "Value");
return View(model);
}
}
Here's my view:
@using (Html.BeginForm("Register2", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "form-horizontal", role = "form" }))
{
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Berry, new { @class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10" >
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Berry, Model.BerryList, "Please Select")
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.BerryColor, new { @class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.BerryColor, Model.BerryColorList, "Please Select")
</div>
</div>
}
This is my basic coding, I have tried various methods to make this working, I'd like to see proper way of doing this with ajax STRONGLY Typed code.
May be using partial views? any thoughts?
回答1:
You have already got a Model that your view is strongly typed with. All you need to do is, add a change event on dropdown list (for more information see referred link below). On change event, you can load the values as per selected value e.g. if Berry is selected you will need to fetch corresponding values for Berry i.e Grape, Avocado.
You can load values using JavaScript which is useful when you have large set of data. Or you can preload the view with all the data and in that case, you just need to filter the answers based on question selected on UI.
For help on how to achieve this in practice please refer Cascading DropDownList In MVC 4. You can find similar example based on your needs.
