Format list elements in viewmodel - asp.net-core

In my viewmodel I have SubscriptionExpires formatted as below
public class IndexViewModel
{
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dddd d MMMM yyyy}")]
public DateTime? SubscriptionExpires { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Device> Devices { get; set; }
}
Device also includes a date property
public partial class Device
{
[Key]
public int DeviceId { get; set; }
public string UserId { get; set; }
public virtual ApplicationUser User { get; set; }
public string DeviceName { get; set; }
public DateTime UnlockedTo { get; set; }
}
Is there any way of setting the date format for UnlockedTo in IndexViewModel or must formatting for this property be done in the view?

View should be responsible for formatting and showing data. Model is responsible just to deliver those data.

Should I inject another context into SaveChangesInterceptor?

I want to perform auditing, by logging entity changes. I have an Audit class:
public class Audit
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string UserId { get; set; }
public string Type { get; set; }
public string TableName { get; set; }
public DateTime DateTime { get; set; }
public string OldValues { get; set; }
public string NewValues { get; set; }
public string AffectedColumns { get; set; }
public string PrimaryKey { get; set; }
}
I've created AuditingInterceptor which I will add to multiple contexts. The Audits table is not accessible through these contexts.
internal class AuditingInterceptor : SaveChangesInterceptor
{
public override ValueTask<InterceptionResult<int>> SavingChangesAsync...
}
In order to save to the Audits table should I inject AuditContext that has access to Audits table or should I use another aproach?

How do I extend IdentityUser class in DbFirst approach?

I have a table named User in my database. I also have a .net core project where authentication is built-in. I want to connect to my database and after scaffolding reveals my User class, I want it to inherit from IdentityUser.
After scaffolding went well, I tried to inherit from IdentityUser.
public partial class User :IdentityUser<int>
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string PersonalId { get; set; }
public string MobilePhone { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public byte[] Idimage { get; set; }
public bool? EmailConfirmed { get; set; }
public bool? Smsconfirmed { get; set; }
}
I can not see Identity Fields like PasswordHash, PhoneNumberConfirmed and so on, in my database. Specifically, in User table.

How to define View Model from existing Model

I would like to know how do I define the viewmodel from below class.
public class TestModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool HasCompleted { get; set; }
public DateTime DeadLine { get; set; }
public DateTime? CreatedDate { get; set; }
public DateTime? LastModified { get; set; }
}
From above model, only Id, Name, HasCompleted and Deadline fields would displayed to the user. Otherwise fields CreatedDate and LastModified fields would be handled internally.
Initially the database table will be created with all the aforementioned fields. But, as mentioned, in order to avoid over posting attacks, I have created a view model with all the required fields. Now, the structure looked as below.
public class TestModel
{
public TestVM testVM { get; set; }
public DateTime? CreatedDate { get; set; }
public DateTime? LastModified { get; set; }
}
public class TestVM
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool HasCompleted { get; set; }
public DateTime DeadLine { get; set; }
}
If would still like to maintain a single database table and make CRUD operations. But, I have a roadblock here in below action.
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Edit(TestVM item)
{
//Once the values are bound to TestVM. How do I get the instance of the TestModel to update the LastModified property here??
}
Could someone please advise ?
Regards,
Ram
Remove TestViewModel from TestModel class.
public class TestModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool HasCompleted { get; set; }
public DateTime DeadLine { get; set; }
public DateTime? CreatedDate { get; set; }
public DateTime? LastModified { get; set; }
}
public class TestViewModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool HasCompleted { get; set; }
public DateTime DeadLine { get; set; }
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Edit(TestViewModel item)
{
var testModel = new TestModel
{
Name = item.Name,
HasCompleted = item.HasCompleted,
DeadLine = item.DeadLine
};
//testModel.CreateDate = DateTime.Now;
}
You can also use Bind Attribute for prevent Binding CreatedDate and LastModified fields:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Exclude("CreatedDate", "LastModified"))]TestModel item)
{
}

Custom simple membership provider adding row

I have a custom SimpleMembershipProvider and i have defined all tables that the SimpleMembershipProvider requires, like webpages_Membership:
[Table("webpages_Membership")]
public class Membership
{
public Membership()
{
Roles = new List<Role>();
OAuthMemberships = new List<OAuthMembership>();
}
[Key, DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)]
public int UserId { get; set; }
public DateTime? CreateDate { get; set; }
[StringLength(128)]
public string ConfirmationToken { get; set; }
public bool? IsConfirmed { get; set; }
public DateTime? LastPasswordFailureDate { get; set; }
public int PasswordFailuresSinceLastSuccess { get; set; }
[Required, StringLength(128)]
public string Password { get; set; }
public DateTime? PasswordChangedDate { get; set; }
[Required, StringLength(128)]
public string PasswordSalt { get; set; }
[StringLength(128)]
public string PasswordVerificationToken { get; set; }
public DateTime? PasswordVerificationTokenExpirationDate { get; set; }
public ICollection<Role> Roles { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("UserId")]
public ICollection<OAuthMembership> OAuthMemberships { get; set; }
}
But how do i add a record in this table within the Seed() method in the configuration.cs file that migrations creates when enabled?
Assuming you have the custom membership provider correctly configured in the web.config you should be able to add a record in the Seed method by doing this.
var membership = (MyMembershipNamespace.SimpleMembershipProvider)Membership.Provider;
membership.CreateUserAndAccount("test", "password");

Accessing data in a ViewModel

I have the following entity framework code snippet which has a "Groups" table and a child "ApplicationsGroupsLK" table that contains an ApplicationID field that I need.
IEnumerable<Groups> Groups = DbContext.Groups.Include("ApplicationsGroupsLK").Where(p => p.GroupNumber > 0);
The child data comes back obviously in a collection.
I basically need to display the parent data along with the child ApplicationID field (many Applications to 1 Group).
In my MVC View, what should my ViewModel look like that would contain the parent and child data coming back that I need in order that I can properly bind it to a grid?
Second post:
Further, the following model was generated from Entity Framework:
public partial class Project
{
public Project()
{
this.TimeTrackings = new HashSet<TimeTracking>();
}
[DataMember]
public short ProjectID { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public short CustomerID { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Name { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Description { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public short CategoryID { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public short PriorityID { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public short StatusID { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public Nullable<decimal> Quote { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Notes { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public System.DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public Nullable<System.DateTime> UpdatedDate { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public virtual Category Category { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public virtual Customer Customer { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public virtual Priority Priority { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public virtual Status Status { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public virtual ICollection<TimeTracking> TimeTrackings { get; set; }
}
You can see that TimeTrackings is the child table of Project. You can also see that CategoryID, CustomerID, PriorityID, and StatusID are foreign keys that the parent table has. In this case, I'm only interested in the CategoryID FK.
I haven't done this yet (not at my machine at home), but when I get the data into this model, what would actually be contained in the public virtual Category Category field? Since it's not a collection, what data is returned in this field after the query executes.

This will take a slight tweak in thinking. The Grid will only accept a flat model. This type of question is asked often, here is a starter answer: Kendo UI Grid - How to Bind to Child Properties
If that does not help, post more of your code here and I can work through it with you.
