Ext.Direct for ASP.NET MVC

[elishnevsky]

assertValue() method is private (i.e. not documented), but it doesn't mean you can't call it

Using api config you can load you form like this:

contactForm.load({
    success: function(form, action) {
        var states = action.result.states;
        var stateCombo = form.findField('state');
        stateCombo.getStore().loadData(states);
        stateCombo.assertValue();
    }
});

But you have to remember, that callback functions are called after the form sets the values of the fields, so you should also call assertValue() method of the combo-box after populating it, so that it will show the name of the state instead of a code.

Hope this helps.

Ah, fantastic! I didn't know about that method. Nice one.

I posted a reply but it got swallowed by the forum's spam trap.

Is there any reason why I should not be able to use Ext.Direct.Mvc with Sencha Touch? I have configured everything properly as far as I know, and the Api file is create and viewable in Chrome debugger, but default page is failing with the message "Cannot call method 'addProvider' of undefined"...which really means this could be failing anywhere. I have added the call to "Ext.Direct.addProvider(Ext.app.REMOTING_API); " in the launch method of my main app page.

I just want to make sure that it's possible to use Ext.Direct.Mvc with Touch and that there is not something obvious that I am missing here.

Also, not sure if this is an Mvc question or Touch question so starting here.

Thanks

There is no support for Ext.Direct in Sencha Touch yet.

[Bucs]

Well that would explain that Thanks for quick reply Eugene. And of course my next annoying question for you is...."are you planning to build in support for this in the future, and any idea when?"

Thanks again!

[elishnevsky]

Perhaps I wasn't clear. It's not that my library doesn't support Sencha Touch. What I meant is Sencha Touch framework doesn't have a codebase for Ext.Direct yet. AFAIK they will add in one of the next major releases.

[Bucs]

Yes, I understand that now as I sort of cross posted and found that out No worries, sounds like it's coming in 4.0, and Touch will have it then. Then I guess it depends on when you will update your implementation to support 4.0...due out 1st Q 2011.

[elishnevsky]

I am at the conference right now and haven't heard anything about any changes in Ext.Direct package in version 4.0. So Direct API will probably remain the same as in 3.0 which will make my implementation work as it is.

That would be sweet. I'm jealous regarding the conference
