    razor + entity framework

    Hi every one.

    I am new to razor. I need to load list items to the   dropdownlist using razor and data form the my custom database using entity framework (linq). For example

    I have Suburb table in my db. Now I created the dll using entity framework. I want use this dll within umbraco ( using razor) and load the Suburb to the drop down list.

    can someone help me on this. Or direct me into one sample. Or some links.

     

    thanks in advance

    regards

    Shashi

    Hi Shashi,.

    About razor - http://www.dotnetbull.com/2013/08/bind-dropdownlist-in-dotnet-mvc-razor.html

    It isn't great idea to bind dropdown list to data in the razor.

    Thanks, Alex

    Hi Shashi,

    Razor is just C#, so you can add a reference (@using) to your namespace and then access your classes and methods. You might find a static class will make things simpler.

    e.g. here is a simple static class in some other dll

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web;
    
    namespace UmbOktoberFest2014.MyThings
    {
        public static class MyStuff
        {
            public static string EasyDateFormat()
            {
                return DateTime.Now.ToString("F");
            }
        }
    }
    

    Now in my Razor view

    At the top:

    @using UmbOktoberFest2014.MyThings
    

    Somewhere in the code:

    @MyStuff.EasyDateFormat()
