ASP.NET MVC DropDownListFor与模型中的嵌套属性

我有两个类Entry和Paradigm。 Entry类具有ParadigmId和Paradigm属性。所以在我看来,我有@Model.Entry.Paradigm。如何使用Paradigm模型的较新语法构建DropDownListFor?

   // Entry Model
    [Bind(Exclude = "EntryId")]
    public class Entry
    {
        [ScaffoldColumn(false)] 
        public int EntryId { get; set; }
 .
        [Display(Name = "Type")]
        public int ParadigmId { get; set; }

        public virtual Paradigm Paradigm { get; set; }
    }

// Paradigm Model
public class Paradigm
{
    [ScaffoldColumn(false)]
    public int ParadigmId { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public List<Entry> Entries { get; set; } 
}

在我看来,我有@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Entry.ParadigmId, model.Entry.Paradigm)。但该模型属于Paradigm类型,而不是IEnumerable。由于Paradigm是我的类的一部分(对于Entity Framework Code First),我不需要使用大多数示例中列出的单独的ViewData / ViewBag。

我用Google搜索了一下,看到有人使用Helper / Extension方法将模型转换为SelectList。在我的模型中使用DropDownListFor的最佳方法是什么?

    @* Create View *@
    <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Entry.ParadigmId)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-field">   
        @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Entry.ParadigmId, model.Entry.Paradigm)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Entry.ParadigmId)
    </div>

您的链接Entry.Paradigm延迟加载单个范例,即外键引用的范例。它不会加载数据库中的所有Paradigm。

如果您想拥有所有范例的下拉列表,请绑定到所选范例。然后,您将需要一个单独的ViewBag或Model属性,其中包含所有这些属性的列表。

我一直在使用:

public abstract class DropdownVm
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Set up a dropdown with the indicated values
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="value">the current value, for determining selection</param>
    /// <param name="options">list of options to display</param>
    /// <param name="prependLabelAndValues">list of alternating label/value entries to insert to the beginning of the list</param>
    public List<SelectListItem> SetDropdown<T>(T value, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<T, string>> options, params object[] prependLabelAndValues)
    {
        var dropdown = options.Select(o => new SelectListItem { Selected = Equals(o.Key, value), Value = o.Key.ToString(), Text = o.Value }).ToList();

        // insert prepend objects
        for (int i = 0; i < prependLabelAndValues.Length; i += 2)
        {
            dropdown.Insert(0, new SelectListItem { Text = prependLabelAndValues[i].ToString(), Value = prependLabelAndValues[i + 1].ToString() });
        }

        return dropdown;
    }
}

/// <summary>
/// ViewModel with a single dropdown representing a "single" value
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">the represented value type</typeparam>
public class DropdownVm<T> : DropdownVm
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Flag to set when this instance is a nested property, so you can determine in the view if `!ModelState.IsValid()`
    /// </summary>
    public virtual bool HasModelErrors { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// The user input
    /// </summary>
    public virtual T Input { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// Dropdown values to select <see cref="Input"/>
    /// </summary>
    public virtual List<SelectListItem> Dropdown { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// Set up <see cref="Dropdown"/> with the indicated values
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="availableOptions">list of options to display</param>
    /// <param name="prependLabelAndValues">list of alternating label/value entries to insert to the beginning of the list</param>
    public virtual void SetDropdown(IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<T, string>> availableOptions, params object[] prependLabelAndValues)
    {
        this.Dropdown = SetDropdown(this.Input, availableOptions, prependLabelAndValues);
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return Equals(Input, default(T)) ? string.Empty : Input.ToString();
    }
}

您使用以下内容创建:

var vm = new DropdownVm<string>();
vm.SetDropdown(new Dictionary<string, string> {
    { "option1", "Label 1" },
    { "option2", "Label 2" },
}, "(Choose a Value)", string.Empty);

或者,更具体地说,在您的情况下:

var models = yourDataProvider.GetParadigms(); // list of Paradigm
var vm = new DropdownVm<int>();
vm.SetDropdown(
    models.ToDictionary(m => m.ParadigmId, m => m.Name),
     "(Choose a Value)", string.Empty
);

在视图中渲染:

<div class="field">
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Input, "Choose")
    @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Input, Model.Dropdown)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Input)
</div>
