Advanced custom page code sample

You can develop a unique UI for your applications by creating custom pages. This advanced sample code illustrates how to create a custom page by using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern. The implementation of this custom page uses MVC 4 ASP.NET. It includes files for the data domain, business logic, and the UI elements.

This page contains the following information:

Model code sample

The code sample for the model includes objects representing your data.

Copy
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;

namespace PatientTracker.CustomPages.Models
{
    public class PatientModel
    {
        public Int32 PatientArtifactID { get; set; }
        public String FirstName { get; set; }
        public String LastName { get; set; }
        public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
        public String PatientNotes { get; set; }
        public String PicturePath { get; set; }
    }
}

View code sample

The code sample for the view includes elements that appear in the UI.

Copy
@model PatientTracker.CustomPages.Models.PatientModel

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Patient";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

<h2>Patient Profile</h2>

<fieldset>
    <legend>Patient</legend>

    <img src="@Model.PicturePath" style="margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;border:5px solid #5A9BC7;display:block;" />

    <div class="display-label">
        First Name: 
    </div>
    <div class="display-field">
            @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.FirstName)
     </div>
    <div class="display-label">
        Last Name: 
    </div>
    <div class="display-field">
        @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.LastName)
    </div>

    <div class="display-label">
        Date of Birth: 
    </div>
    <div class="display-field">
        @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.DateOfBirth)
    </div>

    <div class="display-label">
        Notes: 
    </div>
    <div class="display-field">
        @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.PatientNotes)
    </div>
</fieldset>

Controller code sample

The code sample for the controller includes the business logic for retrieving and displaying data.
