DdsFileTagHelper class | QSYS API Reference Guide

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Renders the Monarch Base Application’s Active records along with Active Aid Keys.

Namespace: ASNA.QSys.Expo.Tags Assembly: ASNA.QSys.Expo.Tags.dll

Inheritance: Object –> TagHelper

Remarks

There is one - and only one - DdsFile Tag Helper on a Display Page.

The DdsFile is the placeholder for the Display Page. It is the parent element for the rest of the DdsXXX Tag Helpers.

The following is the basic Razor Page element markup structure that defines a Display Page:

<form method="post">>
    <DdsFile DisplayPageModel="Model">

        <DdsFunctionKeys />

        <main role="main" >
            <DdsSubfileControl For="Record_1">...</DdsSubfileControl>
            <DdsRecord For="Record_2">...</DdsRecord>
            <DdsRecord For="Record_3">...</DdsRecord>
            <DdsRecord For="Record_n">...</DdsRecord>
            <DdsMessagePanel />
        </main>
    </DdsFile>
</form>

The Application controls which of the DdsRecords (including any DdsSubfileControl) are active at a time. The same can be said for the active Function keys.

Only the active DdsRecords are rendered when the Display Page is presented to the user inside the Browser’s form.

Notice the Razor page meta-data at the top of the .cshtml file:

@page
@model MYPAGENAME

Which indicates that file MYPAGENAME.cshtml.cs defines the instance of the class MYPAGENAME which derives from DisplayPageModel

By convention the model file has the name MYPAGENAME.cshtml.cs with content similar to this:

namespace MyCompany.MyApplication.ApplicationViews
{
    [
        BindProperties,
        DisplayPage(FunctionKeys = "F3 03"),
        ExportSource(CCSID = 37)
    ]
    public class MYPAGENAME : DisplayPageModel
    {

Where all the DdsRecords are defined.
