I'm having an application developed with CDS based annotations. I'm having a smart form with smart fields for Insert and Update functionalities.
Some of the smart fields are with the controlType="dropDownList". It displays the Id of the value list table and for the description also shows the Id, even though I've set the displayBehaviour="descriptionAndId".
How can I show the Id and Description in the Smart field drop downs using CDS based annotations?

I'm trying to create a simple 2 table database - table 1 holds ClientInfo and table 2 has ClientVisits - Relationship is on ClientInfo.ID->ClientVisits.ClientID. Then I have a form created thus for viewing the ClientInfo plus a child(sub?)table which SHOULD show all the records from ClientVisits where my Form ClientID = ClientVisits.ClientID.
Here is my form
Here is the child table with fields shown
Relationships
So I already have one record in ClientVisits for the currently chosen ClientID form record. But it doesn't show in my Table.ClientVisits. Other than the relationship I don't have any other link between the ClientID and the ClientVisits.ClientID field.
If I need to post further info please let me know, trying to describe this as well as I can - sorry if it's not making sense. Thanks.
You have to link both tables in your form.
In my example, main data of my form is a table called CLIENTES, where it shows all the information about a cliente. It would be exactly the same as your table ClientDetails. In this table, primary key is a field called DNI (it would be the equivalent of your ID field)
I got a second table called CONSULTAS MÉDICAS. This table is just a list of how many times this client comes to see us. It would be the same as your secondary table CLIENT VISITS. In this table, I got a field called PACIENTE, linked to my table CLIENTES. Let me show you.
Ok, now my form is done based on the data of my table CLIENTES, but I got a subform control, where I have linked the table CONSULTAS MÉDICAS
To make this work is pretty easy. Not filters or queries. Just linked child and master fields. To do this, you have to select properties of your subform control, and then go to DATA TAB
Just choose as main field your ID field from table CLIENT DETAILS and link it to child field CLIENT ID from table CLIENT VISITS
That should work for you.
We have a custom field on our Customer form "client_type" and would like to be able to reference the same field's values on the Customer's Contacts as well on the Contact form. The data is populated for all Customers currently, though when creating the custom field on the Contact form and selecting
SOURCE LIST -> Parent & SOURCE FROM -> client_type the Contact records do not have any data populated. Tried waiting to see if this was a caching issue as we saw with another modification in NS we did recently and there was no solution.
I am working on Azure C# project. There is webrole with web form collecting customer’s information.
Depending on the information, they submit I need to create new custom web form for each one of them.
How can I generate new web form with custom web controls inside same site with code? I would prefer not create different site for each customer.
Any ideas appreciated!
You don't have to create a custom web form for each customer, you can have it all in on dynamic form and draw the input controls according to the customer.
You will have to have a form a form or a database table to configure the input needed for each customer which will be used in drawing the form.
ex:
You can have a table named: CustomerAttibute with the following columns
Customer ID
Attribute Name
Attribute Type (Number, text, boolean, ...)
Is Required
Validation Reg Expression
In the web form, you will read the customer ID and retrieve the attributes related to that customer, and use these attributes to draw the form, ex: an attribute of type text will be rendered as a textbox but an attribute of type boolean will be rendered as a checkbox
Capture the values from the user and insert it into another table, ex: CustomerAttributeValue which will have the attribute ID and attribute value, the value will be string to accommodate for any type
I have two entities: product and category (Symfony 2.3).
I want to create a form in which an user can choose a product by first selecting the category. A user selects the category by clicking on image, then I want to set the image's value into a hidden input, but I don't see how can I change a foreign entity choice list to a hidden input (http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/entity.html).
How can I accomplish this? (how to change form input to hidden)
If I set cascade validation to true, will it for example check if a category really exist. (To prevent putting products with non-existing category from malicious users) ?
Part 1
To do this you need to use a data transformer to do two things:
transform an entity into an identifier that is either a string or integer so a form can render it as a hidden field.
transform the string or integer identifier into the entity when the form is submitted so that the parent entity can be saved with the correct relationship
The symfony docs I linked to above (here too) actually walk though an entire example of using a data transformer with a form.
As a shameless plug (because I believe it is helpful) I have written a little tutorial on using a data transformer for a hidden field with an entity id: http://lrotherfield.com/blog/symfony2-forms-entity-as-hidden-field/
Part 2
If you are using the data transformer then you don't need to worry about malicious users. The data transformer will fail because it will not be able to reverse transform the category from the fake id. In my tutorial the transformer will throw a Symfony\Component\Form\Exception\TransformationFailedException exception.
You can also write a validator (potentially using a call back) if you wanted that checks that the submitted category is real if you want an error to show in the form. Doctrine wont allow you to persist a fake category relationship as the foreign key constraint will fail.
I am using Breeze (http://www.breezejs.com/) and to use the functionality I want it requires mapping to a complete entity and all of its fields. I have a "Person" entity, but it includes a Social Security Number field. I want to keep this SSN# field private so I would like to create an entity named SubSetPerson that is updateable, has navigation properties and only contains the columns I want (e.g. ID, FirstName, LastName, myNavigationProperty) and does not contain the SSN#. I am using database/model first. Is this possible?
If you are using database first, then you could create a view for that table which only selects the columns you want. Then update the EF model browser to include that view.
Try using a Master-Detail type structure for your person. The master table would contain the person's public information; ie name, birthdate, etc... The detail table would contain only the more sensitive information (SSN, etc...). Then depending on your needs you can load the detail or not.
