Question

public IList<House> GetFullList()
        {
            try
            {
                var session = SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession();

                return session.QueryOver<House>()
                    .OrderBy(x => x.Owner).Asc
                    .List<House>();  

            }
            catch (NHibernate.ADOException nex)
            {
                log.Error(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name + " Error-- " + nex.ToString());
                throw new Exception(ExceptionConstants.ERR_DATABASE_ERROR);
            }
        }

the code above is on “PostService.css”. For now i`m trying to retrieve all my data from database into a view called AllHouses() using that method. The entities of House consist. Owner, Price, Location and Description. How can i get my data into GridView. I would like to make “edit” “delete” function as well..

Answer 1

Simply by iterating through the list that the method returns. So if you call it form inside an action:

// This code is in your controller

using  TemplateProject.Core.Entities;
// ...

public ActionResult HouseList()
{
   // call method to retrieve the list of houses
   var service = new PostService();
   var houses = service.GetFullList();

   // this will render the view called "HouseList", passing it the 
   // list of houses as view model
   return View(houses)
}

And in the HouseList view (HouseList.cshtml) you can for instance iterate through
the list of houses and render them in a table:

@using TemplateProject.Core.Entities
@model IEnumerable<House>

<table>
   <thead>
      <th>Description</th>
      <th>Description</th>
   </thead>
   <tbody>
      @foreach(var house in Model)
      {
         <tr><td>@house.Description</td></tr>
         <tr><td>@house.Price</td></tr>
      }
   </tbody>
</table>

If you have a Grid control you can use the Model property of the view to build it up.
