Thanks for the info. Found your blog and the subsequent blogs on the MVC v.s. WebForm. Now decision time... :-)

should be :

using System.Data.Entity; // Database.SetInitialize

Please :)

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)

{

modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<IncludeMetadataConvention>();

}

I have one problem, when I insert 6.99 or 6,99 in the price and I try save I always receive this message:

"The value '6.99' is not valid for Price." or "The value '6,99' is not valid for Price."

How I can fix this?

Maybe this because my current language pr-br?

Thanks

(in Global.asax)

namespace MvcMovie.Models {

(should instead be)

namespace MvcMovies.Models {

(in MovieInitializer.cs

namespace MvcMovie.Models{

(should instead be)

namespace MvcMovies.Models{

Without this corrrection, when you attempt to run in Debug mode in the IDE it gives the error that:

The type or namespace 'MovieInitializer' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference)

---AND---

The type or namespace 'MovieDBContext' could not be found. (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference)

Took me a minute or two to notice that subtle error. Figured I'd call it to your attention.

I have noticed a bug in the Movie App as it is written in the tutorial. If you attempt to edit any of the movie listings, there is no textbox for the rating. If you edit any field for a given movie, then the rating for that movie gets erased.

You may want to consider adding the following code in the tutorial for the Edit.cshtml and Details.cshtml files:

Edit.cshtml

<div class="editor-label">

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Rating)

</div>

<div class="editor-field">

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Rating)

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Rating)

</div>

Details.cshtml

<div class="display-label">Rating</div>

<div class="display-field">

@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Rating)

</div>

using System;

using System.Globalization;

using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace MvcМоvie

{

public class CustomModelBinder : DefaultModelBinder {

public CustomModelBinder()

: base() {

}

public override object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext,

ModelBindingContext bindingContext) {

object result = null;

// Don't do this here!

// It might do bindingContext.ModelState.AddModelError

// and there is no RemoveModelError!

//

// result = base.BindModel(controllerContext, bindingContext);

if (bindingContext.ModelType == typeof(decimal)) {

string modelName = bindingContext.ModelName;

string attemptedValue = bindingContext.ValueProvider[modelName].AttemptedValue;

// Depending on cultureinfo the NumberDecimalSeparator can be "," or "."

// Both "." and "," should be accepted, but aren't.

string wantedSeperator = NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.NumberDecimalSeparator;

string alternateSeperator = (wantedSeperator == "," ? "." : ",");

if (attemptedValue.IndexOf(wantedSeperator) == -1

&& attemptedValue.IndexOf(alternateSeperator) != -1) {

attemptedValue = attemptedValue.Replace(alternateSeperator, wantedSeperator);

}

try {

result = decimal.Parse(attemptedValue, NumberStyles.Any);

}

catch (FormatException e) {

bindingContext.ModelState.AddModelError(modelName, e);

}

}

else {

result = base.BindModel(controllerContext, bindingContext);

}

return result;

}

}

}

and in the Global.asax.cs add:

protected void Application_Start()

{

Database.SetInitializer<MovieDBContext>(new MovieInitializer());

AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

ModelBinders.Binders.DefaultBinder = new CustomModelBinder();

}

I am using a SQLExpress DB and I get an error message saying that the Database is in use when I run the app after implementing the code above.

I think it would be nice to fix it in order not to confuse newbies.

I have tried @Html.Encode to show the AnyName by exracting it from a db, but the Model.IsValid returns False.

Ny idea, anyone?

You have listed as way two. Explicitly modify the schema of the existing database so that it matches the model classes. The advantage of this approach is that you keep your data. You can make this change either manually or by creating a database change script.
