Is there a way to pass a HashTable loaded with key/values to a page View in a way I can then use it via javascript/Jquery ?
Example: I have HashTable with
key = Car Model (206 XT), Value = "PEUGEOT", etc...............
So in the view I have a combo with all car models and near that, I have a textbox automatically populated with the manufacturer taken from javascript
Is there a way to do so ??
(I'm really noob in MVC 3 :()
There are different way to solve this problem:
if you wan't to get this list dynamicaly with out reloading you can use a json request (examples).
Javascript:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/controler/action",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: jsonData,
success: function (result){
for(var i=0; i<result.length; i++) {
var value = result[i];
alert(i =") "+value);
}
}
Controler (c#):
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult Action()
{
return Json(YourTable.ToArray());
}
Furthermore you can access every html-element from javascript. So you can put the content in all kinds of html-elements.
You can serialize most C# objects using the following method in the view:
<script type="text/javascript">
var hashtable = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.YourHashtable)
</script>
If you have some Tree like data structures with parent/child relationships you might run into issues as the Encoder can't solve circular relationships.
