环境:
Windows 2008, VS 2008 SP1, Asp.Net Mvc 1.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
本文主要实验如何应用Asp.Net Mvc内建功能(DefaultModelBinder)实现简单类型、复杂类型、集合类型,以及字典类型的自动绑定。
1. 简单类型
这里,我们将下面这个Book类称为简单类型:
{
public int BookId { get; set; }
public string BookName { get; set; }
public string Author { get; set; }
public DateTime PublishedDate { get; set; }
}
假设现在需要实现添加Book的功能,那么在BookController中,会定义如下的Action:
public ActionResult Create(Book book) {
//TO DO
//Insert book into Database
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
现在的问题便是,在View中如何命名TextBox来达到自动绑定,如下:
<%using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Book")) { %>
<div>
Book Name: <%=Html.TextBox("BookName")%>
</div>
<div>
Author: <%=Html.TextBox("Author")%>
</div>
<div>
Published Date: <%=Html.TextBox("PublishedDate")%>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</div>
<%} %>
</div>
注意TextBox的name必须是对应绑定类型的PropertyName(不区分大小写)。 这样,页面表单submit后,我们便可以在BookController的“Create” Action中得到自动绑定的book对象。这里,Asp.Net Mvc还支持在TextBox的name中加上变量名称前缀的情形:
<%using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Book")) { %>
<div>
Book Name: <%=Html.TextBox("book.BookName")%>
</div>
<div>
Author: <%=Html.TextBox("book.Author")%>
</div>
<div>
Published Date: <%=Html.TextBox("book.PublishedDate")%>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</div>
<%} %>
</div>
需要注意的是:
1)前缀"book"必须与Action中接收的Book参数名一致
2)如果加了前缀,那么所有的都要加
2. 复杂类型
现在对Book类作些许改动,并引入Author类:
{
public int BookId { get; set; }
public string BookName { get; set; }
public Author Author { get; set; }
public DateTime PublishedDate { get; set; }
}
public class Author {
public int AuthorId { get; set; }
public string AuthorName { get; set; }
public string Nation { get; set; }
}
这里,将改动后的Book类称为复杂类。这时,Book类多了一个对Author类的引用。现在,保持BookController中的"Create" Action不变,来看View中的TextBox改如何命名以实现Book类型的自动绑定:
<%using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Book")) { %>
<div>
Book Name: <%=Html.TextBox("BookName")%>
</div>
<div>
Published Date: <%=Html.TextBox("PublishedDate")%>
</div>
<div>
Author's Name: <%=Html.TextBox("Author.AuthorName")%>
</div>
<div>
Author's Nation: <%=Html.TextBox("Author.Nation")%>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</div>
<%} %>
</div>
OK,测试通过,想必你也知道命名规则了,要绑定Book类型中的Author类型,必须加上"Author."的前缀。
如果你喜欢,你还可以在所有TextBox名称前面再加"book."的前缀。
3. 集合类型
为避免问题复杂化,我们用回原来的简单Book类型:
{
public int BookId { get; set; }
public string BookName { get; set; }
public string Author { get; set; }
public DateTime PublishedDate { get; set; }
}
现在,把BookController的"Create" Action改为接收IList<Book>的参数:
public ActionResult Create(IList<Book> books) {
//TO DO
//Insert book into Database
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
然后,在View中运用以下命名规则,以自动绑定IList<book>类型,
<%using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Book")) { %>
<div>
Book Name: <%=Html.TextBox("books[0].BookName")%>
</div>
<div>
Published Date: <%=Html.TextBox("books[0].PublishedDate")%>
</div>
<div>
Author's Name: <%=Html.TextBox("books[0].Author")%>
</div>
<div>
Book Name: <%=Html.TextBox("books[1].BookName")%>
</div>
<div>
Published Date: <%=Html.TextBox("books[1].PublishedDate")%>
</div>
<div>
Author's Name: <%=Html.TextBox("books[1].Author")%>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</div>
<%} %>
</div>
可以看到如下规则:Action的变量名"books"加上中括号和索引作为前缀,索引必须从0开始,并且必须连续。
通过此命名规则,可以绑定任意集合类型:IList<Book>, ICollection<Book>, IEnumerable<Book>, List<Book>, Book[]等。
4. 字典类型
仍以简单Book类型为例,现在将"Create" Action改为接收IDictionary<Book>类型,
public ActionResult Create(IDictionary<string, Book> books) {
//TO DO
//Insert book into Database
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
相应的,View中的命名如下:
<%using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Book")) { %>
<div>
Book SN: <%=Html.TextBox("books[0].Key") %>
</div>
<div>
Book Name: <%=Html.TextBox("books[0].Value.BookName")%>
</div>
<div>
Published Date: <%=Html.TextBox("books[0].Value.PublishedDate")%>
</div>
<div>
Author's Name: <%=Html.TextBox("books[0].Value.Author")%>
</div>
<div>
Book SN: <%=Html.TextBox("books[1].Key") %>
</div>
<div>
Book Name: <%=Html.TextBox("books[1].Value.BookName")%>
</div>
<div>
Published Date: <%=Html.TextBox("books[1].Value.PublishedDate")%>
</div>
<div>
Author's Name: <%=Html.TextBox("books[1].Value.Author")%>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</div>
<%} %>
</div>
可以看出,对于IDictioinary<Book>类型,在命名规则上,相比于集合类型,多了"Key"和"Value”的字眼。另,此规则也适用于Action参数类型为Dictionary<Book>的情形。
总结:
由此看来,只要我们遵循一定的命名规则,就可以轻松实现各种类型的自动绑定了。
当然,Asp.Net Mvc还支持自定义ModelBinder扩展,请看下回分解。:-)
