    Thumbs up ASP.NET MVC4 and Colorbox Plugin via Partial View

    Hi,
    Ive been trying to implement a colorbox popup for the past 2 days and Im at stuck at pretty much the last step.

    I have an anchor that, when clicked, should load in a colorbox into a container I have set up in _Layout.cshtml
    Code:
    <a href="@Url.Action("RenderColorbox", "ContactPartial", new { path = "_ContactPartial" })" class="colorboxLink"><span>ContactUs</span></a>

    Here is the js ajax request to load the partialview (_ContactPartial.cshtml) into its container in the _Layout.cshtml
    Code:
         $('.colorboxLink').click(function () {
            $('.colorbox_container').load(this.href, function () {
                var colorboxOptions = {
                    inline: true,
                    scrolling: false,
                    opacity: ".9",
                    fixed: true
                 }
                $('#contactColorbox').colorbox(colorboxOptions);
            });
            return false; //return false for click event otherwise partial view will load on seperate page
        });

    Here is the partial view itself (_ContactPartial.cshtml)

    Code:
    @model DiscreteFX_MVC4.Models.ContactForm
    
    <div id="contactColorbox">
        @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "ContactPartial", FormMethod.Post))
        {
                  ......
         }
    </div>
    The partial view loads into its container correctly but is does not do so as a colorbox but rather as an un-animated popup modal. Can someone help me get the view to load as a colorbox.

    Thanks

    Please do not do that. It causes allot of confusion if some one was out looking for a solution for you and returned to find a Different question..

    Also There is no reason why you could not just ask your second question in either a new thread or as a new post in this thread like you did on Stackoverflow...

    Re: ASP.NET MVC4 and Colorbox Plugin via Partial View

    I dont know if this might give a clue but I just noticed that if I:

    1) click colorboxLink, modal pops up
    2) then click anywhere inside the modal, the following screenshot happen

    .. the colorbox loads somewhere way down past the footer.

    Its strange because I load the partial view (#contactColorbox) into the container (.colorboxContainer) before calling the colorbox on it and yet it loads into the footer and without any content..

    Thanks again for taking a look.

    Unable to retrive data from Mysql to MVC4

    Hii All,
    I complete beginner for .net and also to this site.
    Please help me in dispalying my data in Mysql to MVC4.

    ModelClass.cs

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Data.Entity;
    using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
    using System.Web;

    namespace Project4.Models
    {
    public class ModelClass
    {
    [Key]
    public int topic_id { get; set; }
    public int topic_number { get; set; }
    public string subject { get; set; }
    public string chapter { get; set; }
    public string sub_chapter { get; set; }
    public string lesson { get; set; }
    public string topic { get; set; }
    public string topic_code { get; set; }
    public int tracking_number { get; set; }
    public string IsActive { get; set; }
    public string keywords { get; set; }

    public class testdb : DbContext
    {
    public DbSet<ModelClass> ProjectClasses { get; set; }
    }
    }
    }


    I had created a ADO.net Entity Model
    and added MySql table to it name it as testdb.

    then I build the project

    then create a controller that created all the CRUD operations

    Error 2 'Project4.testdb' does not contain a definition for 'ProjectClasses' and no extension method 'ProjectClasses' accepting a first argument of type 'Project4.testdb' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

    My Default1Controller.cs is showing error

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Data.Entity;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Web.Mvc;
    using Project4.Models;
    using System.Data.SqlClient;

    namespace Project4.Controllers
    {
    public class Default1Controller : Controller
    {
    private testdb db = new testdb();

    //
    // GET: /Default1/

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
    return View(db.ProjectClasses.ToList());
    }

    //
    // GET: /Default1/Details/5

    public ActionResult Details(int id = 0)
    {
    ModelClass modelclass = db.ProjectClasses.Find(id);
    if (modelclass == null)
    {
    return HttpNotFound();
    }
    return View(modelclass);
    }

    //
    // GET: /Default1/Create

    public ActionResult Create()
    {
    return View();
    }

    //
    // POST: /Default1/Create

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Create(ModelClass modelclass)
    {
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
    db.ProjectClasses.Add(modelclass);
    db.SaveChanges();
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

    return View(modelclass);
    }

    //
    // GET: /Default1/Edit/5

    public ActionResult Edit(int id = 0)
    {
    ModelClass modelclass = db.ProjectClasses.Find(id);
    if (modelclass == null)
    {
    return HttpNotFound();
    }
    return View(modelclass);
    }

    //
    // POST: /Default1/Edit/5

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Edit(ModelClass modelclass)
    {
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
    db.Entry(modelclass).State = EntityState.Modified;
    db.SaveChanges();
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }
    return View(modelclass);
    }

    //
    // GET: /Default1/Delete/5

    public ActionResult Delete(int id = 0)
    {
    ModelClass modelclass = db.ProjectClasses.Find(id);
    if (modelclass == null)
    {
    return HttpNotFound();
    }
    return View(modelclass);
    }

    //
    // POST: /Default1/Delete/5

    [HttpPost, ActionName("Delete")]
    public ActionResult DeleteConfirmed(int id)
    {
    ModelClass modelclass = db.ProjectClasses.Find(id);
    db.ProjectClasses.Remove(modelclass);
    db.SaveChanges();
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

    protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
    db.Dispose();
    base.Dispose(disposing);
    }
    }
    }
