Flexable Menu Code:
I used the below code example that obtains the menu item text from a user table named Departments, where DepartmentName is a field. The user is permitted to create the menu item names (Department Name) through a add/delete department
name routines (not shown). The menu item selected by the user utilizes and passes the department name from Menu.cshtml to the StandardPage.cshtml, and modifies the query to display the data in the StandardPage.cshtml. This
permits utilization of one page of code common for any department name selected by the user and displays the appropriate data from the Contacts table.
Menu Example:
Departments
Administration
Bingo
Cage
Finance
Food and Beverage
Gift Shop
Hotel
Human Relations
Information Systems
Keno
Maintenance
Code for Menu.cshtml:
@{
Layout = "~/_SiteLayout.cshtml";
Page.Title = "Directory";
}
@section featured {
<section class="featured">
<div class="content-wrapper">
<hgroup class="title">
<h1>@Page.Title.</h1>
<h2>Department Menu</h2>
</hgroup>
</div>
</section>
}
@{
<h2>Departments</h2>
<br />
var db = Database.Open("People");
var query = "SELECT * FROM Departments ORDER BY DepartmentName";
var dept = db.Query(query);
try{
foreach(var row in dept){
string Dept=@row.DepartmentName;
<a HREF="~/StandardPage?id=@Dept">@row.DepartmentName</a><br />
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}
}
<a data-role="button" id="button-rt" href="~/" title="cancel" style="float: right">Cancel</a>
The below code (StandardPage.cshtml) is called from the menu item selected to display the data for the selected department name in a webgrid. Contacts in this example is the table with employee names, phone #, etc. String result is passed to this code by the Menu selection code (above example).
@{
Layout = "~/_SiteLayout.cshtml";
string result = Request["id"];
Page.Title = result;
var recordcount = 0;
var db = Database.Open("People");
var query = db.Query("select * from Contacts WHERE Department ='" + result + "' ORDER BY Name");
foreach(var contact in query){
recordcount = recordcount + 1;
}
var grid = new WebGrid (query);
}
@section featured {
<section class="featured">
<div class="content-wrapper">
<hgroup class="title">
<h1>@Page.Title.</h1>
@if(recordcount >0){
<h3>Click on a heading title to sort the Record Data by heading topic.</h3>
}
</hgroup>
</div>
</section>
}
@{
if(recordcount == 0) {
<h2>No records found.</h2>
}
if(recordcount == 1){
@grid.GetHtml(
caption: recordcount + " MATCHING RECORD FOUND",
tableStyle: "grid",
headerStyle: "head",
alternatingRowStyle: "alt",
columns: grid.Columns(
grid.Column(format: @<a href="~/Services/Edit?id=@item.ContactID">Edit</a>),
grid.Column("Name"),
grid.Column("Title"),
grid.Column("Phone"),
grid.Column("Cell"),
grid.Column(format: @<a href="~/Services/Delete?id=@item.ContactID">Delete</a>)
)
)
}
if(recordcount > 1){
@grid.GetHtml(
caption: recordcount + " MATCHING RECORDS FOUND",
tableStyle: "grid",
headerStyle: "head",
alternatingRowStyle: "alt",
columns: grid.Columns(
grid.Column(format: @<a href="~/Services/Edit?id=@item.ContactID">Edit</a>),
grid.Column("Name"),
grid.Column("Title"),
grid.Column("Phone"),
grid.Column("Cell"),
grid.Column(format: @<a href="~/Services/Delete?id=@item.ContactID">Delete</a>)
)
)
}
}
<br />
<div id="Addnew">
<a data-role="button" id="button-lf" href="~/Services/Add">Add New</a>
<a data-role="button" id="button-rt" href="~/Services/Menu" title="cancel" style="float: right">Cancel</a>
</div>
