Asp.net mvc using JsonResult

Json has become one of the most popular form of data interchange method and being tightly integrated in the mvc framework makes it very easy to use. I will be demonstratating a very usefull technique of passing a response in an Ajax style using JsonResult (It is a class that is used in mvc framework to pass a json formatted content to the response).

Model
    public class Users
    {
       public int UserId { get; set; }
       public string UserName { get; set; }
    }

Controller
    public ActionResult Index()
    {    
       return View();
    }

    public JsonResult GetUsers()
    {
       List<Users> users = new List<Users>()
                           {
                           new Users
                           {
                           UserId =1, UserName ="kaunain"
                           }};
       return this.Json(users,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

View
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $.getJSON("/Home/GetUsers", null, function (data) {
            $.each(data, function (index, users) {
                    $("p").text(users.UserName);
            });
        });
    });
</script>

Updated view for multiple users
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">   
   
       $(document).ready(function () {
        $.getJSON("/Home/GetUsers", function (data) {
            var items = [];

            $.each(data, function (key, users) {
                items.push('<li id="' + users.UserId + '">' + users.UserName + '</li>');
            });

                    $('<ul/>', {
                        'class': 'Users-list',
                        html: items.join('')
                    }).appendTo('p');
               });
       });
    
 
</script>
Lastly specify Home/GetUsers route in global.asax.

Asp.net mvc razor render partial view using ajax helper

This is the extension to my blog in which I demonstrated rendering of the partial view using jquery Ajax . I want to demonstrate here yet another way by which partial view can be rendered without page refresh. Here is the implementation. Step 1: I will again be using DisplayData class in my demo. Here is it. public class DisplayData { public int ID { get; set; } public DisplayData(int ID) { this.ID = ID; } } Step 2: Create a PartialDemo page @model IEnumerable<MvcApplication5.Models.DisplayData> @{ ViewBag.Title = "PartialDemo"; } @Ajax.ActionLink("Click 1", "PartialDemo", "PartialDemo", new {Data= "1" }, new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "rsvpmsg" }) @Ajax.ActionLink("Click 2", "PartialDemo", "PartialDemo", new {Data= "2" }, new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "rsvpmsg" }) <div id="rsvpms

Asp.net mvc razor render partial view using jquery Ajax

I will going to demonstrate how we can render PartialViews using Jquery Ajax. I will be clicking an a href link ,then I will be calling the controller through jquery Ajax which will fill the partialview for a really nice user experience. Step 1: First of all we will be creating an DisplayData class for the use for this example in the model. public class DisplayData { public int ID { get; set; } public DisplayData(int ID) { this.ID = ID; } } Step 2: We will create a Clicks page and write the following code on it. Specially note empty here which will going to empty and then fill partialview with new records. $(document).ready(function () { $('.msg').click(function () { var id = this.id; $.ajax({ url: "/Category/Display", data: { data: id }, success: function (mydata) { $("#link").empty().appe

Asp.net mvc DataAnnotation ValidateAttribute two properties comparison.

Using Datannotion is great but there are scenarious in which the current attributes compare, range etc becomes inadequate especially for the comparisions. So we create here our own custom validation using ValidationAttribute class which is the base class for all the annotation attributes. So by deriving from it and overriding the Isvalid method we can create our custom attribute for the model. So here is the scenario in which I will be validating the Username against the password which should not be equal. Compare attribute cannot be used in this scenario so I have created a custom attribute for that. Here is the model with the attribute. User View Model [CompareUserPass("UserName", "Password", ErrorMessage = "UserName and password cannot be equal")] public class UserView { [Required(ErrorMessage = "UserName Required")] public string UserName { get; set; } [Required(
