MVC5 ModelView is not valid on post of edit action - c#

I have an MVC5 project with Entity 6 framework and I am having trouble getting the correct information passed to the edit action on the post, in order to bind it to the models. The ModelState of my viewModel comes back as invalid. I am not sure what I am missing. I am guessing that it has to do with the way that my Editor templates are setup vs the structure of my models but I need some help figuring it out. I have spent many hours changing things to try and get this working and I still cant get it corrected.
My ViewModel:
namespace CommunityHealth.Models.ViewModels
{
public class ActivityViewModel
{
public virtual IList<JunctionTypeAction> junctionTypeActions{ get; set; }
public virtual IList<JunctionDepartmentAction> junctionDepartmentActions{ get; set; }
public virtual IList<JunctionPopulationAction> junctionPopulationActions { get; set; }
public virtual CommunityAction Action { get; set; }
}
}
The Community Action Model:
public partial class CommunityAction
{
public CommunityAction()
{
this.JunctionPopulationActions = new HashSet<JunctionPopulationAction>();
this.JunctionDepartmentActions = new HashSet<JunctionDepartmentAction>();
this.JunctionTypeActions = new HashSet<JunctionTypeAction>();
}
public int ActionID { get; set; }
public System.DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
public Nullable<System.DateTime> EndDate { get; set; }
public string BreifDescription { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> Duration { get; set; }
public int LocationID { get; set; }
public string SubLocation { get; set; }
public int ProgramID { get; set; }
public string Notes { get; set; }
public string AddedBy { get; set; }
public byte[] RecordVersion { get; set; }
public virtual Location Location { get; set; }
public virtual Program Program { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<JunctionPopulationAction> JunctionPopulationActions { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<JunctionDepartmentAction> JunctionDepartmentActions { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<JunctionTypeAction> JunctionTypeActions { get; set; }
}
The Models for the Junction Tables:
JunctionDepartmentAction:
public partial class JunctionDepartmentAction
{
public int IndexID { get; set; }
public int DepartmentID { get; set; }
public int ActionID { get; set; }
public string SubDepartment { get; set; }
public int Individuals { get; set; }
public virtual CommunityAction CommunityAction { get; set; }
public virtual Department Department { get; set; }
}
JunctionPopulationAction:
public partial class JunctionPopulationAction
{
public int IndexID { get; set; }
public int PopulationID { get; set; }
public int ActionID { get; set; }
public bool isActive { get; set; }
public virtual CommunityAction CommunityAction { get; set; }
public virtual TargetPopulation TargetPopulation { get; set; }
}
JunctionTypeAction:
public partial class JunctionTypeAction
{
public int IndexID { get; set; }
public int TypeID { get; set; }
public int ActionID { get; set; }
public virtual ActivityType ActivityType { get; set; }
public virtual CommunityAction CommunityAction { get; set; }
}
Event Controller Edit Action Methods:
// GET: /Event/Edit/5
public async Task<ActionResult> Edit(int? id)
{
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
CommunityAction communityaction = await db.CommunityActions.FindAsync(id);
ActivityViewModel activityviewmodel = new ActivityViewModel();
activityviewmodel.Action = communityaction;
IList<JunctionTypeAction> junctiontypeactions = await db.JunctionTypeActions.Where(d => d.ActionID == communityaction.ActionID).ToListAsync();
IList<JunctionDepartmentAction> junctiondepartmentactions = await db.JunctionDepartmentActions.Where(d => d.ActionID == communityaction.ActionID).ToListAsync();
IList<JunctionPopulationAction> junctionpopulationactions = await db.JunctionPopulationActions.Where(d => d.ActionID == communityaction.ActionID).ToListAsync();
activityviewmodel.junctionTypeActions = junctiontypeactions.ToList();
activityviewmodel.junctionDepartmentActions = junctiondepartmentactions.ToList();
activityviewmodel.junctionPopulationActions = junctionpopulationactions.ToList();
if (communityaction == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
ViewBag.LocationID = new SelectList(db.Locations, "LocationID", "LocationName", activityviewmodel.Action.LocationID);
ViewBag.ProgramID = new SelectList(db.Programs, "ProgramID", "ProgramID", activityviewmodel.Action.ProgramID);
return View(activityviewmodel);
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> Edit(ActivityViewModel activity)
{
//request added for debugging purposes
Request.ToString();
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.Entry(activity).State = EntityState.Modified;
await db.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
ViewBag.LocationID = new SelectList(db.Locations, "LocationID", "LocationName", activity.Action.LocationID);
ViewBag.ProgramID = new SelectList(db.Programs, "ProgramID", "ProgramID", activity.Action.ProgramID);
return View(activity);
}
And finally my Views. I am using three editor templates for the junction tables in the DataBase and one more for the CommunityAction object. I then have a view for the event that uses the three editor templates to display the parts of the ViewModel.

I am getting this error when I examine the request:
"The parameter conversion from type 'System.String' to type 'CommunityHealth.Models.CommunityAction' failed because no type converter can convert between these types."

The reason for that error is because you model has a property named activity (typeof CommunityAction), and the parameter of your post method is also named activity. Change the parameter name to anything other than the name of a property in the model(s)
public async Task<ActionResult> Edit(ActivityViewModel model)
{
....
}
Side notes
Simply use #Html.EditorFor(m => m.junctionTypeActions) to generate
the html for collections (not in a for loop). #Html.EditorFor()
is smart enough to recognize collections and generate the correct
html.
Generating all those hidden inputs is bad practice and degrades
performance (and any malicious user could change the values anyway).
Use view models for each or your types that contain only the
properties you need to display/edit.

expected result display roles in checkbox
this exception because Roles.GetAllRoles() returns string[] and you try to bind property Name inside it which it not exists.
so to overcome this issue you can populate you checkbox list as following
ViewBag.RoleId = Roles.GetAllRoles().Select(r => new SelectListItem{Text = r, Value = r});
in this case you SelectListItem Value and Text it will be the role name for both of them

I am working on small ticket system for operations maintenance services comp.
Customer open a ticket and gives general information like location,
category description etc.
After technician fix the problem he must give sum details of the
problem from predefined set, use later for statistical reports.
My problem the repair method unable to post updated values to database plus nothing added to Defects_List table.

The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint dropdownlist [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What Causes The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint?
(2 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm working in ASP.NET MVC Web Application, so I want to insert values from another table (I get it with dropdownlist), but when I try to post, I get this:
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint
"FK_dbo.Products_dbo.Subcategories_SubcategoryId". The conflict
occurred in database "ProyectName", table "dbo.Subcategories", column
'SubcategoryId'. The statement has been terminated.
Products model:
public class Product
{
public int ProductId { get; set; }
public int SubcategoryId { get; set; }
public virtual Subcategory Subcategory { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }

My question is unique because model.SelectedSubcategory don't get Id value from another table, It always get 0 so in the other questions no make any comparision with that
Thankyou in advance!

There's nothing that requires a Subcategory to be selected. You're likely to get this error when a selection hasn't been made for subcategory. You should make subcategory required or make null a value that's possible to get back.

C# visual studio asp.net adding an item to a list attribute NullAttribute Exception: [duplicate]

Start by creating view models to represent what you want to display/edit in the view (add display and validation attributes as appropriate)
public class InventoryVM
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool IsSelected { get; set; }
}
public class OrderVM
{
public string PaymentMethod { get; set; }
public List<InventoryVM> Inventory { get; set; }
}
Note that CustomerName, OrderDate and Total are not appropriate (you don't want a user editing these - they should be set in the POST method immediately before saving the order). Not sure what PickupDate represents but if its the actual date then that's not appropriate either (it would be set separately when the order is collected). I would also suggest that PaymentMethod be an enum or collection of PaymentType's and that you and use a dropdownlist in the view for selection.
Then the GET method would be
public ActionResult Create()
{
// Get all available bikes, for example
var inventory = db.Inventory;
OrderVM model = new OrderVM
{
Inventory = inventory.Select(i => new
{
ID = i.ID,
Name = i.Model // modify this to suit what you want to display in the view
}).ToList()
};
return View(model);
}
And in the view
#model yourAssembly.OrderVM
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
for(int i = 0; i < Model.Inventory.Count; i++)
{
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Inventory[i].ID)
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.Inventory[i].IsSelected)
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.Inventory[i].IsSelected, Model.Inventory[i].Name)
}
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.PayentMethod)
<input type="submit" value="Create" />
}
And the POST method would be
public ActionResult Create(OrderVM model)
{
// Initialize a new Order and map properties from view model
var order = new Order
{
CustomerName = User.Identity.Name,
OrderDate = DateTime.Now,
....
PaymentMethod = model.PaymentMethod
}
// Save the order so that you now have its `ID`
IEnumerable<int> selectedItems = model.Inventory.Where(i => i.IsSelected).Select(i => i.ID);
foreach(var item in selectedItems)
{
// You have not shown the model for this so just guessing
var orderItem = new OrderItem{ OrderID = order.Id, InventoryId = item };
db.OrderItems.Add(orderItem);
}
db.SaveChanges();
}
Side notes:
If you want to be able to allow users to select more that one of any
item, the you could change bool IsSelected to say int Quantity
If you you want to display additional information about the items,
say Description and Cost you can include additional properties
in the InventoryVM view model and display them with
#Html.DisplayFor(m => m.Inventory[i].Description)
If you want to display a total cost for all selected items in the
view, you will need to use javascript/jquery
If ModelState could be invalid, you will need to repopulate the
properties of InventoryVM before you return the view (as shown
only the ID and IsSelected properties post back) or include
hidden inputs for the other properties in the view

How to save data from Select box in Entity Framework Database relation Many to Many

How to save data from Select box in Entity Framework Database relation Many to Many
There are two classes one weapon and other User..
public class Weapon { } public class User { }
public class User
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Type { get; set; }
}
public class Wepon
{ public int ID { get; set; }
public string Wepon_Name { get; set; }
public int Power { get; set; }
}
Which should have relation Many to Many Using FormCollection and Model
User Class
