Will Visual Studio complain if I simply move, the controller to the associated view sub-folder without changing the namespace in the controller?

EDIT =========================

The answer is no. The app acts exactly the same and there's no compiler push-back at all.

That will at least keep me from having to scroll up to get to the controller when I'm busy making the views fail spectacularly. Smile | :)

Yeah, it's not as smart as that. Unless you're actually using the areas mechanic it's just reflecting objects that inherit from Controller and trimming the "Controller" portion of the name. 100% standards-based approach.

How do you specify a route with multiple parameters that are NOT part of the URL itself?

like this:

HTML

controller/action?param1=a&param2=b&param3=c

If they're not being used to select the controller or action, then you shouldn't need to include them in the definition of the route. MVC will "magically" fill in the action parameters from the route data, the query string, and the POST body.

How do I insert dropdown Text, not the value, into the database?

Can someone please give a hand?

I am stumped on this.

In ASP.NET, for instance, if you have the following dropdownlist:

PHP

<ASP:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
  ListItem Value="Pastorsname">PastorName</ListItem>
</ASP:DropDownList>

and I wish to grab the text called PastorName and insert into the database, all I would need to do is this simple syntax:

PHP

DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text

I am trying to do something similar in PHP:

 //Markup
       <table id="dataTable">
                      <tbody>
                    <tr>
                     <td>
                      <?php
						$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost","xphiasuser","xphiasadmin","xphias_sermon");
						 // Check connection
						 if (mysqli_connect_errno())
						   {
						   echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
				         }
                        $select_query="Select pastorname, ministryname from xphias_clients";
						$select_query = mysqli_query( $conn,$select_query);
						echo "<select name='pastorsname' id='pastorsname' class='form-control'>";
						echo "<option value=' '></option>";
						while ($rc=   mysqli_fetch_array($select_query) )
						{
						   echo "<option value='" .$rc['ministryname'] . "'>" . $rc['pastorname'] . "</option>";
						}
						echo "</select>"; ?></td>
                     <td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="ministriesname" id="ministriesname" SIZE="16"></td>
                     <td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="sermondate" SIZE="10"></td>
                     <td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="sermonname" SIZE="16"></td>
                     <td><INPUT INPUT="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="scriptures" SIZE="16"></td>
                     <td><INPUT INPUT="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="videoname" SIZE="10"></td>
                     <td><INPUT INPUT="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="sermonnotes" SIZE="16"></td>
                    </tr>
                   </table>
                   <table>
                    <tr>
                     <td><INPUT type="file" class="form-control" name="fileToUpload" /></td>
                     <td><INPUT TYPE="submit" value="Save" SIZE="14" name="upd"></td>
                    </tr>
                  </tbody>
                 </table>
                 
		   <script type="text/javascript">
		      $(document).ready(function(){
		      $('#pastorsname').change(function(){
		      var ministriesname = $(this).val();
		      $('#ministriesname').val(ministriesname);
		    });
	          });
	         </script> 
	         
	   //  process.php

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
    {

    $sql = "INSERT INTO xphias_sermons (pastorname, ministriesname, sermon_name, scripture, video_name, sermon_notes,sermon_date)
    SELECT ministryname, pastorname, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? FROM xphias_clients WHERE ministryname = ?;
//    VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
    $stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);

    $stmt->bind_param('sssssss', $pastorname, $ministriesname, $sermonname, $scriptures, $videoname, $sermonnotes, $sermondate);
}

//$video_path=$_FILES['fileToUpload']['name'];

//$ministriesname = isset($_POST['pastorsname']) ? $_POST['pastorsname'] : false;
$pastorname = $_POST['pastorsname'];
$ministriesname= $_POST['ministriesname'];
$sermondate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime(str_replace('-', '/', $_POST['sermondate'])));
//echo "Input: {$_POST['xstartdate'][$i]}, Start date: {$startdate}<br>\n"; //For debugging
$sermonname= $_POST['sermonname'];
$scriptures= $_POST['scriptures'];
$videoname= $_POST['videoname'];
$sermonnotes= $_POST['sermonnotes'];

In this PHP code, the <select...>.., the SELECT Value is pastorname and the text is ministryname.

How do I grab the value of text of ministryname and insert that into the database?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

There are always packages for pretty much everything.
Tell someone the answer is "get a package" is occasionally appropriate but the answer I gave also allows the poster to learn something about what's going on.

Fully patched Win7
VS2013/5
.Net 4.5
EF6.2
MVC5

Everything has been going almost okay up until today. All of a sudden, when I try to add a new controller with views, I get this:

There as an error running the selected code generator:

"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

I was able to add a new controller yesterday with NO PROBLEM with the same dbcontext.

---------------

In the web.config (which has not change since I started the project):

1) There are no instances of "configsource" in the sections.
2) The configSections element is the first element.
3) The entityframework section looks correct (some people have had the wrong provider specified).
4) None of the sections are duplicated.

I've tried the following, and STILL have the problem.

1) The model object appears to be defined correctly, and is implemented as a DbSet<> in the dbcontext).
2) I tried changing the model implementation in the dbcontext to IDbSet<>.
3) I tried adding a controller (with a different name, of course) for a model that I already created a controller for.
4) I updated EF6 to from 6.13 to 6.2 out of desperation.

MVC5 - Logoff does not work in Chrome

#realJSOP7-Nov-17 1:59

7-Nov-17 1:59

When I click logoff, it does not log the user off (it doesn't even hit the method in the Account controller).

In IE11 it's fine. WTF?!!!

Furthermore, EVERY other link is a MVC actionlink, but "Logoff" is this:

JavaScript

<li><a href="javascript:document.getElementById('logoutForm').submit()">Log off</a></li>

What's the reason for that?

BTW, I'm using Chrom 61.0.3163.100. I know the latest version is 62...., but I don't have permissions to update it at work.

        </li>
        <li><a href="javascript:document.getElementById('logoutForm').submit()">Log off</a></li>
    </ul>
    }
}
else
{
    ...

It's using a <form> because the LogOff action in the AccountController requires a POST request:

//
// POST: /Account/LogOff
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult LogOff()
{
    AuthenticationManager.SignOut(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}

This is done to prevent a forged request from another site from logging the user out of your site. If you're not worried about that, you could remove the [HttpPost] and [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] attributes to make the action accept a GET request, and then remove the form:

@using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity
@if (Request.IsAuthenticated)
{
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
        <li>
            @Html.ActionLink("Hello " + User.Identity.GetUserName() + "!", "Index", "Manage", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { title = "Manage" })
        </li>
        <li>
            @Html.ActionLink("Log off", "LogOff", "Account")
        </li>
    </ul>
}
else
{
    ...

//
// GET: /Account/LogOff
public ActionResult LogOff()
{
    AuthenticationManager.SignOut(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}

Otherwise, you'll need to work out why the javascript: link isn't working in Chrome. The developer console (F12) might have some clues.

In chrome, I have this:

Refused to load the script '[script name]' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'none'".

For each for the following scripts:

modernizr-2.8.3.js
jquery-3.2.1.js
bootstrap.js
respond.js
browserLink (wtf is that?)

It says it refused to load those scripts, but everything else appears to work fine.

Assuming you haven't set up a CSP policy[^], have you got any add-ons that could be blocking scripts?

No, I haven't set one because I wasn't aware that I need too.

By addons, do you mean nugget packages?

How would I be able to determine that?

No, I mean Chrome extensions. Check in chrome://extensions/[^], or "Menu ⇒ More tools ⇒ Extensions" to see what's installed.

You could try starting Chrome in "safe mode" to see if that fixes the issue.

Nope, I haven't installed any extensions, but ScriptSafe is installed.

That's almost certainly the cause of the problem. AFAIK, Chrome script blockers inject a custom CSP to prevent scripts from executing, which matches the errors in the console.

If you click on the icon, there should be an option to trust or unblock your local site.

I disabled scriptsafe, and now it works.
