edit profile view asp.net-mvc5

I am quite new to asp.net mvc5, and in my app I want to retrieve user info in their profile.
In profile action I'm trying to display the user info and allow them to edit their info too.
But when I run the program I am getting the edit and display view empty.
I am expecting to see the user previous info when they're trying to edit for example.
here is a picture of what I want:
this is my action :
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult DriverProfile()
{
var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<AppUserManager>();
var authManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Authentication;
ProfileModel driver = new ProfileModel();
IdentityUser theUser = new IdentityUser() { UserName = driver.email, Email = driver.email };
driver = new ProfileModel(theUser);
return View("DriverProfile", driver);
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult DriverProfile(ProfileModel profile)
{
var manager = new UserManager<IdentityUser>(new UserStore<IdentityUser>(new RidesDbContext()));
IdentityUser theUser = new IdentityUser() { UserName = profile.email, Email = profile.email };
IdentityResult theResult = manager.Create(theUser, profile.PasswordHash);
var currentUser = manager.FindById(User.Identity.GetUserId());
currentUser.UserName = profile.email;
currentUser.Email = currentUser.Email;
return Redirect("DriverProfile");
}
I have the profile model as the following:
public class ProfileModel
{
public ProfileModel()
{
}
public ProfileModel(IdentityUser theUser)
{
}
[Display(Name = "Id")]
public int driverId { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "First Name")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your First Name")]
public string firstName { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Last Name")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Last Name")]
public string lastName { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Email Address")]
[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Email Address")]
[RegularExpression(".+\\#.+\\..+", ErrorMessage = "Please Enater a Valid Email Address")]
public string email { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Mobile Number")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Mobile Number")]
public string phoneNumber { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Address")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your Address")]
public string Address { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "City")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your City")]
public string city { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "State")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Pleas Enter Your state")]
public string state { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Car")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please Identify Your Car")]
public string car { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Driver's License")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please Enter Your Driver's Licende Number")]
public string driverslicense { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Profile Image")]
[Required]
public byte[] profileImg { get; set; }
public string profileImgType { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "License Image")]
[Required]
public byte[] licenseImg { get; set; }
public string licenseImgType { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Password")]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please Enter a password")]
public string PasswordHash { get; set; }
}
How would I get the user info in their profile with an edit option?
I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

If I understand the question correctly, You want to edit the IdentityUser Class right?
Given that you already assign values in your controller.
First, we add the IdentityUser class to your ProfileModel Class
public class ProfileModel{
public IdentityUser User{get;set;}
//other profilemodel properties
}
on your view:
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.User.Email, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.User.Email, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.User.Email, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
or if you just want to show up some values in editing,
you need to assign the value of your ProfileModel
Controller:
ProfileModel driver = new ProfileModel();
//code that assigns values to each property
driver.email = "sample#sample.com";
return View("DriverProfile",driver);

.submit() Prevents Form from Submitting

I have a fairly simple form and ViewModel which works fine, but when I add this JS, the form no longer submits to the controller:
$("#crmtForm").submit(function (e) {
console.log('submit');
});
Why? I'm pretty sure this is supposed to work... Please can someone help this makes no sense.

How to select data via partial view

I have a partial view that returns a list of users address's, I need the user to be able to select one, then when they press "submit" along with the other details it takes the details from the selected address returns it to the controller, from there I know how to assign it where I want. How would I do this? Examples and help appreciated
Here is my controller for creating the order, view beneath;
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AddressAndPayment(FormCollection values, string id)

var order = new Order();
TryUpdateModel(order);
//sets date and username
order.Username = User.Identity.Name;
order.OrderDate = DateTime.Now;
//Order gets saved
storeDB.Orders.Add(order);
storeDB.SaveChanges();
//Order gets processed
var cart = ShoppingCart.GetCart(this.HttpContext);
cart.CreateOrder(order);
//Save again, total not saving properly until now
storeDB.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Complete",

The error that you are getting suggests that you are calling a method with a null argument somewhere in your code. Since it crashes with the if statement beginning with Model.Files.Any(f => f.FileType == FileType.Avatar), I would verify that Model.Files is not null before proceeding.
The code could look like the following:
#if (Model.Files != null && Model.Files.Any(f => f.FileType == FileType.Avatar))
{
<div class="form-group">
<span class="control-label col-md-2"><strong>Current Avatar</strong></span>
<div class="col-md-10">
<img src="~/File?id=#Model.Files.First(f => f.FileType == FileType.Avatar).FileId" alt="avatar" />
</div>
</div>
}
If Model.Files should never be null, then you might need to investigate why that value is not being set as well.

ASP.NET MVC 5 Set values for dropdownlist

I want to make a DropDownList with a numeric rating from 1-5. I have a rating model and I want to apply these dropdown values to WaitTime, Attentive and Outcome.
Can I just set these values in the view and use the model? If so how would i go about doing this?
My Model Class:
public class Ratings
{
//Rating Id (PK)
public int Id { get; set; }
public string UserId { get; set; }
//Medical Practice (FK)
public int MpId { get; set; }
public MP MP { get; set; }
//User ratings (non-key values)
[Required] //Adding Validation Rule
public int WaitTime { get; set; }
[Required] //Adding Validation Rule
public int Attentive { get; set; }
[Required] //Adding Validation Rule
public int Outcome { get; set; }
}
My View:
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.WaitTime, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.WaitTime, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.WaitTime, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Attentive, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Attentive, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Attentive, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Outcome, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Outcome, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Outcome, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>

Use this instead of EditorFor for each field:
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Outcome, new SelectList(Enumerable.Range(1, 5)))

Here is the working fiddle - https://dotnetfiddle.net/daB2DI
In short, lets say your model is -
public class SampleViewModel
{
[Required] //Adding Validation Rule
public int WaitTime { get; set; }
[Required] //Adding Validation Rule
public int Attentive { get; set; }
[Required] //Adding Validation Rule
public int Outcome { get; set; }
}
And your controller actions are -
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View(new SampleViewModel());
}
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult PostData(SampleViewModel model)
{
return Json(model);
}
Your Get CSHTML should be -
#model HelloWorldMvcApp.SampleViewModel
#{
ViewBag.Title = "GetData";
}
<h2>GetData</h2>
#{
var items = new List<SelectListItem>();
for (int i = 1; i < 6; i++)
{
var selectlistItem = new SelectListItem();
var code = 0;
selectlistItem.Text = (code + i).ToString();
selectlistItem.Value = (code + i).ToString();
items.Add(selectlistItem);
}
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("PostData","Home"))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>SampleViewModel</h4>
<hr />
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.WaitTime, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.WaitTime, items, "--Select--", new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.WaitTime, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Attentive, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Attentive, items, "--Select--", new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Attentive, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Outcome, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Outcome, items, "--Select--", new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Outcome, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
When you run the code, you should see page like below -
And when you select some values and click on create, you should get those values in PostData action.

try to adapt this to your project
in your controller:
ViewBag.ParentID = new SelectList(departmentsQuery, "NewsMID", "Title", selectedDepartment);
return View(model);
in your view put this
#Html.DropDownList("ParentID")
