How to pass data from controller to view in ASP.NET MVC

If you want to pass value from controller to view in asp.net MVC, we have two methods. The first method of it is ViewBag and last is ViewData, both are used to pass data from controller to view. ViewBag object creates a dynamic variable and ViewData creates a dynamic key like ViewState in ASP.NET.  Learn, How to use ViewBag in MVC for single variable as well as List<String> type variable. 

In controller class, we used ViewBag.Dynamic_variable = "Value" and in View we used @ViewBag.Dynamic_Variable_Name. Also, learn how to pass value from controller to view using ViewData.

Both objects doesnot generate compile time error.

Password Box example in WPF

If you want to design login control then must to set the special character in password box. Today, we will learn, how to design password box in WPF. In WPF, we have a PasswordBox tag in XAML , through this we can add Password box in WPF. I have a simple login control through you can see password control.

The complete code of login control

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication8.password"

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

                <Label>Username:</Label>

                <TextBox Width="100"/>

            </WrapPanel>

            <WrapPanel>

                <Label>Password:</Label>

                <PasswordBox PasswordChar="x" MaxLength="8" Width="100"/>

            </WrapPanel>

Code Generates the following output:

WPF common "enable all" checkbox in the top

Introduction

In this WPF article, I will show you, single checkbox enable all other remaining checkboxes; if it is unchecked then remaining them also unchecked. To do this task, first of add single checkbox for all other checkboxes in the stack panel. Now, add other child checkboxes in nested stack panel. look at, simple xaml code view.

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication8.MainWindow"

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

    <Grid>

        <StackPanel Margin="10">

            <Label FontWeight="Bold">Technical Skills</Label>

            <StackPanel Margin="20,10">

                <CheckBox IsThreeState="True" Name="AllSelect" Checked="AllSelect_Checked" Unchecked="AllSelect_Checked">Enable All</CheckBox>

                <StackPanel Margin="20,10">

                    <CheckBox Name="singlecheckjava" Checked="singlecheckjava_Checked" Unchecked="singlecheckjava_Checked">Java</CheckBox>

                    <CheckBox Name="singlecheckcpp" Checked="singlecheckjava_Checked" Unchecked="singlecheckjava_Checked">C++</CheckBox>

                    <CheckBox Name="singlecheckphp" Checked="singlecheckjava_Checked" Unchecked="singlecheckjava_Checked">PHP</CheckBox>          

             

                 

                 

                </StackPanel>

            </StackPanel>      

         

         

        </StackPanel>

    </Grid>

</Window>

Here, we have checked and unchecked events. Both are calling same function in "Allselect" checkbox. In the child checkboxes also we have checked and unchecked event , they are calling same method. So in this program we have two method that is "AllSelect_Checked" and "singlecheckjava_Checked".

How to determine version of MVC application

In this article, I will show you how to check  MVC version of application. There are two methods, through which we can get the version of MVC. In the first method we use property of System.Web.MVC namespace. But, How to check, check the mentioned snap shots.

1. Expand References folder 

2. Right click on System.Web.MVC namespace also select property , check the mentioned snap.

II-Method

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace WebApplication9.Controllers

{

    public class HomeController : Controller

    {

        // GET: Home

        public string Index()

        {

            return typeof(Controller).Assembly.GetName().Version.ToString();

        }

}

Drop Shadow example in WPF

In this article, I will show you, How to create Shadow of controls. Through this, we can show 3d view of control. First of all, I will apply this style on manually created designs like Ellipse, Rectangle etc. After that I will apply same things on controls. So, add a new window in the project. Add this code in between the <grid> ...</grid> section of xaml file.

 <Rectangle Height="150" Width="150" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="2">

            <Rectangle.BitmapEffect>

                <DropShadowBitmapEffect Color="Black" Direction="-50" ShadowDepth="40" Softness=".8"/>

               

            </Rectangle.BitmapEffect>

            <Rectangle.Fill>

                <ImageBrush ImageSource="apple.png"/>

               

            </Rectangle.Fill>

        </Rectangle>      

BitmapEffect creates the shadow effect behind the object. In the above-mentioned code we have Direction attribute. With the help of Direction attribute we can show shadow of control at user defined position. 

<Button Width="150" Margin="71,167,71,59">

            <Button.BitmapEffect>

                <DropShadowBitmapEffect Color="Black" Direction="-50" ShadowDepth="40" Softness=".7"/>

            </Button.BitmapEffect>

            <Image Source="apple.png" Stretch="Fill"/>

Code generates the following output
