I am trying to create a view able to add data to 2 tables (SeriesData and SeasonsNEpisodes). My goal is to add a serie to SeriesData and then add the number of seasons and episodes this season has.
I was able to create a view able to add data of 1 table, but I also wanted to add the SeasonsNEpisodes table.
The code for the first table is this:
public ActionResult Create(SeriesData seriesData)
{
try
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.SeriesData.Add(seriesData);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(seriesData);
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
and this is the view (the create view that comes with mvc):
@model WebApplication3.Models.SeriesData
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h2>Create</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>SeriesData</h4>
<hr />
@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.SerieID, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.SerieID, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.SerieID, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.SerieName, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.SerieName, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.SerieName, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.SerieCategory, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.SerieCategory, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.SerieCategory, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.SerieDescription, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.SerieDescription, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.SerieDescription, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.SerieYear, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.SerieYear, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.SerieYear, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
<div>
@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>
I was thinking about creating a hyperlink to another page and do it in there, but I want to do it different this time. Do I have to create another try or something?
EDIT databases:
Series table:
SeriesData
(
SeriesID int PK,
SeriesName varchar(50),
SeriesDescription text,
SeriesCategory varchar(50),
SeriesYear varchar(4)
);
Table with seasons and episodes:
SeasonsEpisodes
(
SeasonsEpisodesId in PK,
SeriesID int FK,
SerieSeasons int,
SerieEpisodes int
)

your view's model is SeriesData
but you want your view to able to have multiple models, to achieve this create a viewModel like:-
public class SeriesDataViewModel
{
//series data properties
public List<Season> Seasons { get; set; }
public List<Episode> Episodes { get; set; }
}
then make the following changes in your view:-
@model WebApplication3.Models.SeriesDataViewModel
Also when getting the Serie entity from database you have to get Seasons
and Episodes
along with the Series
