  Pass model to view - List<...> truncated after space

  Aug 16, 2010 07:10 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I got in the controller action:

  var reports = new List<Report>();

  reports.Add(new Report {Title = "Inventory (monthly)"});

  reports.Add.......

  
  

  However, the words are truncated when passed to the view.

  The words after the space is truncated, any idea?

  ie. it just passed the word "Inventory".

  If you put a break point in your controller, does the variable contain  "Inventory (monthly)"?  It's sounding more like an instantiation issue

  Hi,

  
  

  It looks like the space caused the problem, I tried shorter string eg. alan (123)

  and display the Title on .aspx's button value it only shows alan

  If you display into html, how's the source ? I think that maybe has an invalid char ( line newline ?)

  Can you drop in here the source you're using to display Report.Title?

  Hi,

  I use this:

  <input type="submit" name="testReportTitle" value= <%: Model.Report.Title %> />

  
  

  Did I miss something?

  Thanks

  You are encoding the text, change

  <input type="submit" name="testReportTitle" value= <%: Model.Report.Title %> />

   to

  <input type="submit" name="testReportTitle" value= <%= Model.Report.Title %> />

   

  Notice I'm using "=" instead of ":"

  Think about it a bit more, maybe change it to

  <input type="submit" name="testReportTitle" value= <%= Html.Encode(Model.Report.Title).Replace("&nbsp;", " ") %> />

  What does List<Report> have to do with Model.Report.Title?

  Hi,

   I do a

  <ul>
  

  <% foreach  (var repor in Model.Reports)

  { %>

      <li> .......</li>

  <% } %>

  </ul>

  I guess I will pick up the last report in the list.
