Doest Header text uses Display name attribute in view model ?

[Tomislav Tustonic]

Hello

In JS1 the grid automatically used a Name value from the Display attribute in the databound viewmodel for a column header. It doesn't seem to work in JS2.
For example, with grid item viewmodel

        public class GridItemViewModel
        {
            public string Id { get; set; }
            [Display(Name = "Surname")]
            public string LastName { get; set; }
...

In the JS1, the grid

.Grid("grid").Columns(col => { col.Field("LastName").Add() ...etc...}

would automatically show Surname as a header text in the grid. Is there a similar functionality in JS2 Grid?

Thanks,

Hello,

does this feature require some addition annotation on the class or attribute set up on the grid? 

I can't see any example in documentation and it's not working just out of box.

Thanks,

P.

Hi Tomislav, 

 

 We have provided data annotation support for Grid so you can able do the validation in server side. Please refer the below code example and sample for more information. 

 

[index.cshtml] 

 

<div> 

    @(Html.EJS().Grid<OrdersDetails>("Grid") 

.EditSettings(e => { e.AllowAdding(true).AllowEditing(true).AllowDeleting(true); }).Columns(col => 

{ 

    col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").IsPrimaryKey(true).Width("30%").Add();     

    col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("CustomerID").Width("70").Add(); 

    . . . . 

    col.Field("ShipCity").HeaderText("Ship City").Width("70").Add(); 

    col.Field("ShipCountry").HeaderText("Ship Country").Width("70").Add(); 

 

}).AllowPaging().Toolbar(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Update", "Cancel" }).Render()) 

         

</div 

 

[HomeController] 

 

public static List<OrdersDetails> GetAllRecords() 

        { 

            List<OrdersDetails> order = new List<OrdersDetails>(); 

             .   .   .   

 

        [Display(Name ="OrderID")] 

        [Key] 

        public int? OrderID { get; set; } 

 

        [Display(Name = "CustomerID")] 

        [MinLength(3, ErrorMessage = "Need atleast 3 characters")] 

        [MaxLength(10, ErrorMessage = "Characters exceed")]         

        public string CustomerID { get; set; } 

        [Range(2, 9)] 

        public int? EmployeeID { get; set; } 

        [Editable(false)] 

        [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString ="C2")] 

        public double? Freight { get; set; } 

        [Required (ErrorMessage ="Ship City is required.")] 

        public string ShipCity { get; set; } 

        public bool Verified { get; set; } 

        public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }         

        public string ShipName { get; set; } 

        [Display(Name = "ShipCountry")] 

        [MinLength(3, ErrorMessage = "Need atleast 3 characters")] 

        [MaxLength(10, ErrorMessage = "Characters exceed")] 

        public string ShipCountry { get; set; } 

        public DateTime ShippedDate { get; set; } 

        public string ShipAddress { get; set; } 

    }
