ASP.NET MVC 4 Kendo网格-属性上的ForeignKeyAttribute无效

Question

I am trying to navigate through a table in order to display the text value instead of the id and I get this error:

An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in EntityFramework.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: The ForeignKeyAttribute on property 'languageId' on type 'DevelopmentNotesProject.Models.NoteForm' is not valid. The navigation property 'Language' was not found on the dependent type 'DevelopmentNotesProject.Models.NoteForm'. The Name value should be a valid navigation property name.

It's been some hours that I've been trying to solve the problem in vain ... Thanks a lot for your time This is my code:

View:

@using Kendo.Mvc.UI
@model DevelopmentNotesProject.Models.NoteForm

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}


<script type="text/javascript">
    function formatter(value) {
        return value.substring(0, 50);
    }
</script>


<section id="listing">
    <h2>My Notes</h2>

        @(Html.Kendo().Grid<DevelopmentNotesProject.Models.NoteForm>()
        .Name("grid")
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(c => c.Title).Width(200).ClientTemplate(string.Format("{0}...", "#= formatter(Title) #"));
            columns.Bound(c => c.Text).Width(450).ClientTemplate(string.Format("{0}...", "#= formatter(Text) #"));
            columns.ForeignKey(p => p.languageId, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["lang"], "Id", "Name").Title("Language").Width(100);
            columns.Command(command => { command.Edit(); command.Destroy(); });

        })
        .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 380px;" })
        .Scrollable()
        .Groupable()
        .Sortable()
        .Pageable(pageable => pageable
            .Refresh(true)
            .PageSizes(true)
            .ButtonCount(5))
         .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource // Configure the grid data source
                  .Ajax() // Specify that ajax binding is used
                  .Read(read => read.Action("Notes_Read", "MyNotes")) // Set the action method which will return the data in JSON format
                  .Destroy(update => update.Action("Notes_Destroy", "MyNotes"))
                  .Update(update => update.Action("Notes_Update", "MyNotes"))
                  .Model(model => 
                      {
                          model.Id(p => p.id);
                      })
               )
         .Selectable()
        )

@Html.ActionLink("Add a new note", "Add", "MyNotes")

Controller:

    var dbo = new UsersContext();
    ViewData["lang"] = dbo.Language.Select(b => new { Id = b.id, Name = b.lang });
    return View();
}

Answer 1

You need to configure the relationship between NoteForm and Language models.

 [Required]
 [Display(Name = "Language")]
 public int languageId { get; set; }

 [ForeignKey("languageId ")]
 public Language Language { get; set; }
