How to bind Value to Radiogroup from database

[sundarsureshin]

can any one suggest me how to set Value on Radiogroup from database via controller

here is my code

@(Html.X().RadioGroup()
.ID("RFont")
.LabelWidth(90)
.Width(300)
.FieldLabel("Font")
.AutomaticGrouping(false)
.Items(
      Html.X().Radio().ID("RMedium").Name("RadioFont").InputValue("0").BoxLabel("Small"),
      Html.X().Radio().ID("RBigger").Name("RadioFont").InputValue("1").BoxLabel("Large")
      )
)

My value for the control will be either 0 or 1, suggest me how to set it on controller.

Hi,

Before answering your question let me ask you what ext.net version are you working with?

Your question refers to MVC razor but is posted in the 1.x forum. Since this is an unlikely combination, should we move it to the 2.x or 3.x forum and continue the discussion there?

Hi Dimitris,

I am sorry, i am using 2.5.2 version, mistakenly i have posted this in 1.x Help forum

Please move it to 2.x or 3.x forum.

There are a couple ways to answer your question.

One option is to check a Radio in the Controller, for example:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    Radio radio = this.GetCmp<Radio>("RBigger");
    radio.Checked = true;
    return View();
}

Another way is to model your View and use RadioGroupFor. The Examples Explorer provides an example that demonstrates how to do it: http://mvc2.ext.net/#/Form_Groups/GroupFor/

Hope it helps.

Thank you Dimitris, it worked for me in the following code

var values = new InsertOrderedDictionary<string, object>();
values.Add("RadioFont", "Large");
X.GetCmp<RadioGroup>("RFont").SetValue(values);

[Dimitris]

I think you meant to write "1" instead of "Large":

var values = new InsertOrderedDictionary<string, object>();
values.Add("RadioFont", "1");
X.GetCmp<RadioGroup>("RFont").SetValue(values);

Yes, it is, Thank you, got the solution.
