How to inititalize Ext controls with default values from the model (MVC)?

[Svr77]

Hello All,

I have a strongly typed view and want to bind some model to it.

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<CCX.Web.Mvc.Models.RegisterModel>" ClientIDMode="Static" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Ext.Net" Namespace="Ext.Net" TagPrefix="ext" %>

<ext:FormPanel ID="Panel1" Url="/Tender/SubmitStep1/" runat="server" Header="false" Padding="5" Border="false" Layout="Form" LabelAlign="Top">
<Items>
  <ext:TextField ID="UserName" Name="UserName" runat="server" FieldLabel="Username" AnchorHorizontal="95%" Text="<%# Model.UserName %>" />
  <ext:TextField ID="Email" Name="Email" runat="server" FieldLabel="Email" AnchorHorizontal="95%" Value="<%# Model.Email %>" />
</Items>
</ext:FormPanel>

When I am trying to submit this form then binding is working correctly, I get in my controller class with filled out properties from text controls. However when I am trying to inititalize my model with some values before show the view, then it doesn't work.

public ActionResult TenderDlgStep1(string containerId)
        {
            CCX.Web.Common.PartialViewResult pr = new CCX.Web.Common.PartialViewResult(containerId);
            pr.ViewData.Model = new CCX.Web.Mvc.Models.RegisterModel() { UserName = "Test" };

            pr.RenderMode = RenderMode.AddTo;
            pr.SingleControl = false;
            pr.WrapByScriptTag = true;

            return pr;
        }

However it works correctly when I am trying to use constractions like <%: Html.DisplayFor(model => model.UserName) %> or <%= Model.UserName %> in HTML on my user control.

When such costructions Text="<%# Model.UserName %>" is not working with Ext.NET controls and what is the correct why to inititalize Ext controls with default values from the model?

Regards,
Alexander

Try to set AutoDataBind="true" for Ext.Net widgets
