[CLOSED] RenderSection to Ext.Net Control

[edip]

Hello,

Is there a way to render a section to an ext.net control. I would like to create a viewport with panels on my layout page and include "RenderSection" functions for each panel.

Thanks.

Hi Facricio,
Sorry, I found the "ContentFromSection" method, but i am having no luck in implementing it...

The following is my layout page...

	@Html.X().ResourceManager().CleanResourceUrl( true ).ShowWarningOnAjaxFailure( false ).AjaxTimeout( 130000 );

	@(
		X.Viewport ( )
			.Layout ( Ext.Net.LayoutType.Border )
			.ID ( "OutlookViewport" )
			.ItemID ( "OutlookViewport" )
			.Items
			(
				X.Panel ( )
					.Region ( Ext.Net.Region.North )
					.ItemID ( "NorthRegion" )
					.Height ( 178 )
					.Border ( false )
					.ContentFromSection ( this , "NorthRegion" , false )
				, X.Panel ( )
					.Region ( Ext.Net.Region.West )
					.ItemID ( "WestRegion" )
					.Split ( true )
					.Resizable ( false )
					.Collapsible ( true )
					.Collapsed ( false )
					.Layout ( Ext.Net.LayoutType.Fit )
					.ContentFromSection ( this , "WestRegion" , false )
				, X.Panel ( )
					.Region ( Ext.Net.Region.Center )
					.ItemID ( "CenterRegion" )
					.Split ( true )
					.Header ( false )
					.Layout ( Ext.Net.LayoutType.Fit )
					.ContentFromSection ( this , "CenterRegion" , false )
				, X.Panel ( )
					.Region ( Ext.Net.Region.East )
					.ItemID ( "EastRegion" )
					.HideMode ( Ext.Net.HideMode.Display )
					.Collapsible ( true )
					.Split ( true )
					.Layout ( Ext.Net.LayoutType.Fit )
					.ContentFromSection ( this , "EastRegion" , false )
				, X.Panel ( )
					.Region ( Ext.Net.Region.South )
					.ItemID ( "SouthRegion" )
					.HideMode ( Ext.Net.HideMode.Display )
					.Collapsible ( false )
					.MaxHeight ( 20 )
					.Split ( false )
					.Layout ( Ext.Net.LayoutType.Fit )
					.ContentFromSection ( this , "SouthRegion" , false )


			)

	)

The following is my derived page...

@section NorthRegion
{
	@(
		X.ComponentLoader()
			.AutoLoad(true)
			.Url(this.Url.Action ("NorthRegion" , "Home"))
			.Mode ( Ext.Net.LoadMode.Component )
	)
}

@section WestRegion
{

	@(
		X.ComponentLoader()	
			.AutoLoad(true)
			.Url( this.Url.Action ("WestRegion", "Home"))
			.Mode (Ext.Net.LoadMode.Component )
			
	)
}

When i load the page, i get the following error...

The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.WebPages.WebPageExecutingBase.Write(Sy stem.Web.WebPages.HelperResult)' has some invalid arguments

Thanks.

I now have the page loading...it was just an error with the Razor Syntax...Razor can be very problematic...it did not like the space between

 @Html.X  ( )

"Html.X" and the opening bracket. Why are razor parsing rules any different than c# parsing rules?

Now it seems that the Control i am loading into the "ContentFromSection" does not get rendered but there are no errors on the page.

I am calling the "Home" controller from the "Test" controller when rendering the "ContentFromSection". I put a break point in there and the controller does not get called. The following is the code

@section NorthRegion
{
	
	@(
			
		X.ComponentLoader()
			.AutoLoad(true)
			.Mode ( Ext.Net.LoadMode.Component )
			.Url ( this.Url.Action ( "Header" , "Home" ) )
			.Params
			(
				new Ext.Net.Parameter ( "token" , this.Model.Token )
			)
			
	)

}

Hello @edip!

I'm not really sure on your exact scenario, but I also don't see how you defined your controllers to give it a try... You are trying to call the action Header() from the Home controller, right?..

The pieces look loose, I can't figure your page from the fragments you provided, probably the wrong part is somewhere else. Hard to say; I know we may sound repetitive here, but without a test case to play we can but point you to examples that might help...

Look at those two:
- Section
- Section from page

Probably they have the missing piece for your code to work!

Not helpful? Fancy us a full test case, we might be able to understand what's up to it. Hope you understand!
