save new propertie asp.net mvc

Question

I work with a framework where you have to extend new models, controllers.

So there is a view. And now I try to add a propertie to that existing view.

The new propertie is called:

public virtual string  Project_Number { get; set; }

and the model looks like this:

public class OrderoverviewModel_ProjectNumber: OrderOverviewModel
    {

        [Display(Name = "ProjectNumber")]
        [MaxLength(50, ErrorMessageResourceName = "Validation_MaxLength")]
        public virtual string  Project_Number { get; set; }
        public OrderOverviewModel overViewModel { get; set; }
    }

the view looks like this:

@model Sana.Commerce.DomainModel.Order.OrderoverviewModel_ProjectNumber

<div class="additional-info">
    <h4>@Sana.SimpleText("OrderOverview_AdditionalInformation")</h4>
    @*@if (Shop.UserAbilities.Has(AbilityTo.AddReferenceNo))
    {*@
        <div class="form-row">
            <div class="control">
                <div class="label">
                    @Html.LabelFor(it => it.ReferenceNumber, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "lbl" })
                </div>
                <div class="field">
                    @Html.EditorFor(it => it.ReferenceNumber, new { tabindex = 1 })
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="validation">
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(it => it.ReferenceNumber)
            </div>
        </div>
    @*}*@

    @*@if (Shop.UserAbilities.Has(AbilityTo.AddReferenceNo))
    {*@
        <div class="form-row">
            <div class="control">
                <div class="label">
                    @Html.LabelFor(it => it.Project_Number, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "lbl" })
                </div>
                <div class="field">
                    @Html.EditorFor(it => it.Project_Number, new { tabindex = 1 })
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="validation">
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(it => it.Project_Number)
            </div>
        </div>
    @*}*@




    @if (Shop.UserAbilities.Has(AbilityTo.AddReferenceNo))
    {
        <div class="form-row">
            <div class="control">
                <div class="label">
                    @Html.LabelFor(it => it.Comments, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "lbl" })
                </div>
                <div class="field">
                    @Html.EditorFor(it => it.Comments, new { tabindex = 1 })
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="validation">
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(it => it.Comments)
            </div>
        </div>
    }
    @if (Shop.UserAbilities.Has(AbilityTo.AddRequestedDeliveryDate))
    {
        <div class="form-row">
            <div class="control">
                <div class="label">
                    @Html.LabelFor(it => it.DeliveryDate, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "lbl" })
                </div>
                <div class="field">
                    @Html.EditorFor(it => it.DeliveryDate, new { tabindex = 1 })
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="validation">
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(it => it.DeliveryDate)
            </div>
        </div>
    }
</div>

But I have some problems with the Controller. The controller looks like this:

 public class ExtendedOrderManager : OrderManager<IExtendedOrderProvider>
    {
        public string CustomAction(int value)
        {
            var cacheKey = CacheKey.ForErpItem<object>("customaction_" + value, cacheGroup: "abc");
            return CacheManager.FromCache(cacheKey, () => Provider.CustomAction(value));
        }

        public override IOrder SaveOrder(IOrder order)
        {
            //order.Fields.SetField(new Entities.EntityField("BlanketOrderId", "BO1") { StoreWithEntity = true });

            //order["BlanketOrderId"] = "BO1";
            //order.Fields["BlanketOrderId"].StoreWithEntity = true;

            return base.SaveOrder(order);
        }
    }

IOrder looks like this:

 //

But this is a DLL. So I cant add new properties to the IOrder class.

Because if I put a breakpoint on the Controller method: SaveOrder

and I watch the properties in the order IOrder order. I see that projectnumber is null.

So my question is: How to manage that the projectnumber gets a value?

Thank you

And this is the order class:

[Serializable]
    [DataContract(Namespace = "")]
    public class Order : Entity, IOrder
    {
        #region Properties

        /// <summary>
        /// Status of the Payment of this order.
        /// </summary>
        [DataMember]
        public string PaymentStatus { get; set; }



        [DataMember]
        [XmlField]
        public string ProjectNumber { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// The address the customer should recieve the bill.
}

So I have added a new Inteface like this:

 interface IOrderProjectNumber:IOrder
    {
        string ProjectNumber { get; set; }

    }

If I look in the method: SaveOrder(Iorder order) and I hover my mouse on the order I see the propertie ProjectNumber is null

But if I look in the immediate Window And If I do this: ?order.proje... I dont see a propertie projectNumber?? How can that be?

Answer 1

I will separate your question to 2 parts:

1) How to get Project_Number from View

2) How to save Project_Number to database

For question 1)

• You need to check your Select. How do you display OrderoverviewModel_ProjectNumber? You might need to add Project_Number inside that Select function

• In Edit View, you doesn't read/edit Project_Number so in-fact, it's null. In case you don't want to change Project_Number, then check back the first point,you might miss getting this from database.

For question 2)

• A tricky part here, as you might not have the source code for IOrder. However, it's an interface, so you can check the whole solution again, may be the main class is Order?

• In case you can't find it, i suggest to rewrite the code part, as you should not store the Project_Number differently with other properties

Update-1: Now, let add the Project_Number to IOrder.cs. Added it in Order.cs if it needed too. Finally, to store it in database, check the method SaveOrder(IOrder order) in OrderManager
