将Viewmodel数据保存到ASP.NET MVC中的数据库

我是ASP.net MVC的新手,我使用viewmodel而不是viewbags来填充我的下拉菜单,因为我看到大多数人都建议不要使用它们。我有一个光滑的用户界面,可以进行级联下拉和自动填充(此处未显示),但我似乎无法将我的数据保存回数据库。

型号:

   public partial class Car
    {
        public int CarID { get; set; }
        public string CarName { get; set; }
        public int ModelID { get; set; }
        public int ManufacturerID { get; set; }
        public int CarColorID { get; set; }
        public Nullable<decimal> Price { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }

        public virtual CarColor CarColor { get; set; }
        public virtual Manufacturer Manufacturer { get; set; }
        public virtual CarModel CarModel { get; set; }
    }
   public partial class CarColor
    {
        public CarColor()
        {
            this.Cars = new HashSet<Car>();
        }

        public int ColorID { get; set; }
        public string ColorName { get; set; }

        public virtual ICollection<Car> Cars { get; set; }
    }
   public partial class CarModel
    {
        public CarModel()
        {
            this.Cars = new HashSet<Car>();
        }

        public int CarModelID { get; set; }
        public int ManufacturerID { get; set; }
        public string CarModelName { get; set; }

        public virtual ICollection<Car> Cars { get; set; }
        public virtual Manufacturer Manufacturer { get; set; }
    }
   public partial class Manufacturer
    {
        public Manufacturer()
        {
            this.Cars = new HashSet<Car>();
            this.Manufacturer1 = new HashSet<Manufacturer>();
            this.CarModels = new HashSet<CarModel>();
        }

        public int ManufacturerID { get; set; }
        public string ManufacturerName { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> ParentID { get; set; }

        public virtual ICollection<Car> Cars { get; set; }
        public virtual ICollection<Manufacturer> Manufacturer1 { get; set; }
        public virtual Manufacturer Manufacturer2 { get; set; }
        public virtual ICollection<CarModel> CarModels { get; set; }
    }

视图模型:

public class AnotherTestViewModel
    {
        public Car car { get; set; }

        public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> CarModels { get; set; }
        public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Manufacturers { get; set; }
        public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> CarColors { get; set; }
    }

控制器:

public ActionResult Create()
        {
            var model = new AnotherTestViewModel();
            using (new CarTestEntities())
            {
                model.CarModels = db.CarModels.ToList().Select(x => new SelectListItem
                {
                    Value = x.CarModelID.ToString(),
                    Text = x.CarModelName
                });
                model.Manufacturers = db.Manufacturers.ToList().Select(x => new SelectListItem
                {
                    Value = x.ManufacturerID.ToString(),
                    Text = x.ManufacturerName
                });
                model.CarColors = db.CarColors.ToList().Select(x => new SelectListItem
                {
                    Value = x.ColorID.ToString(),
                    Text = x.ColorName
                });
            }
            return View(model);
        } 

        //
        // POST: /AnotherTest/Create

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Create(AnotherTestViewModel model)
        {
                if (ModelState.IsValid)
                {
                    db.Entry(model).State = EntityState.Modified;
                    db.SaveChanges();
                    return RedirectToAction("Details", "AnotherTestViewModel", new { id = model.car.CarID });
                }
                return View();
        }

我看到了一些使用Automapper的建议,因为EntityState.Modified不起作用,但我不知道如何配置它,因为使用下面的代码不起作用。

Mapper.CreateMap<AnotherTestViewModel, Car>();
Mapper.CreateMap<Car, AnotherTestViewModel>();
var newCar = Mapper.Map<AnotherTestViewModel, Car>(model);

有什么想法吗?

您的视图模型不应与数据库交互。视图模型应仅用于表示层(用户界面) - 因此术语&#34;查看&#34;模型。您应该有另一个与数据库交互的模型(数据模型)。然后,您应该拥有某种类型的服务层来处理视图模型和数据模型之间的转换(反之亦然)。您的数据模型是由Entity Framework生成的模型(我假设您正在使用它)。要处理数据库更新,您需要实例化数据上下文,从数据库中获取数据实体,对该实体进行更改,并在该数据上下文中调用保存更改。数据上下文将跟踪您实体的所有更改,并在您调用&#34;保存更改时对数据库应用必要的更改&#34;。 例如:

public void UpdateCar(CarViewModel viewModel)
{
    using (DataContext context = new DataContext())
    {
        CarEntity dataModel = context.CarEntities.where(x => x.Id == viewModel.Id).First();

        dataModel.Name = viewModel.Name;
        dataModel.Type = viewModel.Type;

        context.SaveChanges();
    }
}

在此示例中,上下文将跟踪对&#34; dataModel&#34;的任何更改。当&#34; context.SaveChanges&#34;如果被调用,这些更改将自动应用于数据库。
