Tipos anónimos de LINQ + vistas MVC

Question

He visto muchas preguntas sobre esto, pero nunca obtuve la respuesta que necesito.

Estoy convirtiendo una aplicación web bastante grande de Web Forms a MVC y después de un tiempo encontré un problema al pasar datos a la vista.En la Acción ejecuto el código:

//This is just an example ViewData["QProducts"] = from p in db.Products select new{Name = p.Name, Date = p.ToShortDateString() } ViewData["QUsers"] = from u in db.Users select u;

Utilizo un bucle foreach para iterar sobre los objetos en html, así:

foreach(var q in (IEnumerable)ViewData["QEvents"])
{ 
    /*Print the data here*/
}

Antes de usar MVC solo usaba un asp:Repeater, pero como se trata de MVC, no puedo usar controles ASP.NET.

¿Cómo se supone que debo pasar estos datos a la Vista?Realmente no tengo la opción de no usar tipos anónimos aquí. <%#ViewData.Eval()%> obviamente no funcionará.

¿Algunas ideas?

Answer 1

En lugar de un tipo anónimo, cree un tipo que contenga el nombre y la fecha:

public class NameDate
{
  public string Name { get; set; }
  public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}

Luego úselo en su consulta de Linq:

from p in db.Products select new NameDate { Name = p.Name, Date = p.Date }

Escriba fuertemente su vista para ser MyView<IEnumerable<NameDate>> y luego simplemente haz un foreach ( var nameDate in ViewData.Model )...

Answer 2

Si te sientes un poco vago, puedes usar este código aquí ... Es un poco largo, pero básicamente es un envoltorio para Reflection ...

var something = { Name = "Jim", Age = 25 };
AnonymousType type = AnonymousType.Create(something);

//then used...
string name = type.Get<string>("Name");
int age = type.Get<int>("Age", -1 /* optional default value */);

Y aquí está el código ...

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Reflection;

namespace Code {

    /// <summary>
    /// A convenient method of accessing the values of an 
    /// anonymous type without needing to define a separate class
    /// </summary>
    public class AnonymousType {

        #region Constants

        private const string EXCEPTION_MISSING_PARAMETER_INFORMATION = 
            "Unable to match the parameter '{0}' to a property in the AnonymousType. This could be due to a casting problem or a Property that does not exist.";
        private const string EXCEPTION_COULD_NOT_ACCESS_FIELD =
            "Unable to find a field named '{0}' (of type {1})";
        private const string EXCEPTION_COULD_NOT_ACCESS_FIELD_AT_INDEX =
            "Unable to find a field named '{0}' at the requested index (of type {1})";

Answer 3

Considere convertir explícitamente a una lista y enviar ViewData:

ViewData["QUsers"] = (from u in db.Users select u).ToList();

foreach(Users u in (List<Users>)ViewData["QUsers"]){ 

    /*Print the data here*/

}

Puede pasar datos de varias maneras, usando ViewData como se muestra arriba, o TempData para pasar entre Acciones. También puede usar ViewData.Model para contener un modelo fuertemente tipado. Tenga en cuenta que tendrá que cambiar la definición de la vista para que sea algo así como

ViewPage<User>

En cuanto a un buen reemplazo de repetidor, intente http://www.codeplex.com/MVCContrib . Tienen un Grid Html Helper que puede ayudar.

Answer 4

Si desea evitar crear una clase separada solo para mostrar su única proyección, también puede recurrir al uso de un diccionario, así:

from person in personList select new Dictionary<string, string>
{ 
    { "Name", person.Firstname + " " + person.Lastname },
    { "Id", person.Id.ToString() }
};

Luego puede escribir su página de vista en

ViewPage<IEnumerable<Dictionary<string, string>>>

Y finalmente iterar sobre la lista en la vista así:

<% foreach (Dictionary<string, string> p in (IEnumerable)ViewData.Model)

<% } %>
