Partial Page in ASP.NET MVC


How to use the partial pages in ASP.NET MVC
I was working on a ASP.NET MVC project where requirement was to create dashboard for the user and display the request based on their status in different tables. Initially, I thought to create tables using JavaScript frameworks. But there was another side of story, requirement was to add the CRUD operations on each record. I am not saying that this is not achievable in JavaScript but I was looking for the simple solution.

I explore multiple options and found that partial page implementation is the right solution of my problem. I followed below steps to implement the partial page functionality for my requirement. If you think you have a different/simple approach feel free to leave your suggestion in the comment section down below.

Step 1. Form Layout
 <div class="form-horizontal">
      <div class="col-md-6">
          <h4>My Draft SOW</h4>
          <div id="draftSow"></div>
      </div>
       <div class="col-md-6">
          <h4>Pending SOW</h4>
          <div id="pendingSow"></div>
      </div>
      <div class="col-md-12">
          <h4>Approved SOW</h4>
          <div id="approvedSow"></div>
      </div>
</div>
Step 2. JavaScript code to render the partial page
 $(document).ready(function () {
        //Draft
        //debugger;
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "@Url.Action("DisplaySow", "Home")",
            data:{"typeOfSOW":"Draft"},
            datatype: "json",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            success: function (result) {
                $('#draftSow').html(result);
            },
            error: function (data) { }
        });

        //Pending
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "@Url.Action("DisplaySow", "Home")",
            data: { "typeOfSOW": "Pending" },
            datatype: "json",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            success: function (result) {
                $('#pendingSow').html(result);
            },
            error: function (data) { }
        });

        //Approved
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "@Url.Action("DisplaySow", "Home")",
            data: { "typeOfSOW": "Approved" },
            datatype: "json",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            success: function (result) {
                $('#approvedSow').html(result);
            },
            error: function (data) { }
        });
    });
Step 3. Action method in controller
[HttpGet]
        public ActionResult DisplaySow(string typeOfSOW)
        {
            //Set Status as Pending Approval
            //Models.SOW uObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(objSOW.ToString());
            ListSOWDisplay> lstSowDisplay = new List<SOWDisplay>();
            Models.SOWDisplay objsow;
            if (typeOfSOW == "Draft")
            {
                objsow = new SOWDisplay() { SOWId = "1", ProjectName = "Test1", CurrencyName = "USD", Location = "Onsite", SOWStartDate = "01/01/2018", SOWEndDate = "12/31/2018" };
                lstSowDisplay.Add(objsow);
                objsow = new SOWDisplay() { SOWId = "2", ProjectName = "Test2", CurrencyName = "CAD", Location = "Offshore", SOWStartDate = "01/01/2018", SOWEndDate = "12/31/2018" };
                lstSowDisplay.Add(objsow);
                return PartialView("_Draft", lstSowDisplay);
            }
            else if (typeOfSOW == "Pending")
            {
                objsow = new SOWDisplay() { SOWId = "3", ProjectName = "Prj1", CurrencyName = "GBP", Location = "Onsite", SOWStartDate = "01/01/2018", SOWEndDate = "12/31/2018" };
                lstSowDisplay.Add(objsow);
                objsow = new SOWDisplay() { SOWId = "4", ProjectName = "Prj2", CurrencyName = "USD", Location = "Onsite", SOWStartDate = "01/01/2018", SOWEndDate = "12/31/2018" };
                lstSowDisplay.Add(objsow);
                return PartialView("_Draft", lstSowDisplay);
            }
            else
            {
                objsow = new SOWDisplay() { SOWId = "0", ProjectName = "Prj0", CurrencyName = "USD", Location = "Onsite", SOWStartDate = "01/01/2018", SOWEndDate = "12/31/2018" };
                lstSowDisplay.Add(objsow);
                objsow = new SOWDisplay() { SOWId = "-1", ProjectName = "Prj", CurrencyName = "USD", Location = "Onsite", SOWStartDate = "01/01/2018", SOWEndDate = "12/31/2018" };
                lstSowDisplay.Add(objsow);
                return PartialView("_Draft", lstSowDisplay);
            }
            
        }
Step 4. Partial Page
@model IEnumerableSOWDisplay>
@{
    var draftGrid = new WebGrid(Model, canPage: true, rowsPerPage: 10, canSort: true, ajaxUpdateContainerId: "draftList");
}
@draftGrid.GetHtml(tableStyle: "table",
    headerStyle: "header",
    alternatingRowStyle: "alt",
    selectedRowStyle: "select",
    columns: draftGrid.Columns(draftGrid.Column("ProjectName", "Project Name"),
 draftGrid.Column("CurrencyName", "Currency Name"),
 draftGrid.Column("Location", "Location"),
 draftGrid.Column("SOWStartDate", "Start Date"),
 draftGrid.Column("SOWEndDate", "End Date"),
 draftGrid.Column(columnName: "Action", format: (item) => Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Create", new { sowId = item.SOWId }))
 ))
Step 5. Model
public class SOWDisplay
    {
        public string SOWId { get; set; }
        public string ProjectName { get; set; }

        public string CurrencyName { get; set; }

        public string Location { get; set; }

        public string SOWStartDate { get; set; }

        public string SOWEndDate { get; set; }

    }

SSIS Merge Join - Both inputs of the transformation must contain at least one sorted column, and those columns must have matching metadata SSIS

SSIS Merge Join Issue ( Both inputs of the transformation must contain at least one sorted column, and those columns must have matching metadata SSIS )   I was working on one of my client requirement where I need to split the flat file data based on the conditions and then add join that data with reference data (again a flat file). I used the MergeJoin task to achieve this. Unfortunately I ended up with this error. I tried most of the options available on the internet but none of them worked for me because my mistake was silly I set a property of “Sort” task in one not the other. That’s why MergeJoin was throwing “ Both inputs of the transformation must contain at least one sorted column, and those columns must have matching metadata SSIS ” error.     Lets first discuss about the solution of my problem Root Cause – The main problem was related to the Sort task. I selected the “Comparison Flags” option in one Sort task but not in other task because of that M...

jsGrid

I was working one a Asp.Net MVC application where I was using the Web Grid to display the data based on the selected search criteria. It was working great but client asked me to use the jsGrid instead of Web Grid as it has many ready to use features like (Edit, Delete, Search, etc..).  Initially, jsGrid gave me very hard time to display the data in it but after few hit and trial I manage to display the data. After spending couple of hours on jsGrid, I started liking it. In this article, I am going to explain how to use the jsGrid to display the data and some other tactics in very easy steps. I am building the application in ASP.NET MVC. Step 1. Content delivery network (CDN) of jsGrid and jQuery libraries are as below https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jsgrid/1.5.3/jsgrid.min.css https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jsgrid/1.5.3/jsgrid.css https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jsgrid/1.5.3/jsgrid-theme.min.css https://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js ...
