I am using Razor in my MVC3 project. And also I'm using FullCalendar JQuery plugin. So when I'm trying to fill the array it works good. Except one thing. If s.Name contains apostrophe it renders like' that's not what I want. I tried to use different methods like Encode and Decode and even MvcHtmlString.Create and result is always the same.
Here is the code snippet:
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: '',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
month: 5,
year: 2011,
editable: false,
events: [
@foreach (var s in ViewBag.Sessions)
{
@:{
@: title: '@s.Name',
@: start: new Date(@s.Starts.Year, @s.Starts.Month-1, @s.Starts.Day),
@: end: new Date(@s.Ends.Year, @s.Ends.Month-1, @s.Ends.Day)
@:},
}
]
});
});
</script>
I would write your foreach like this:
@foreach (var s in ViewBag.Sessions)
{
<text>
{
title: '@HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(s.Name)',
start: new Date(@s.Starts.Year, @s.Starts.Month-1, @s.Starts.Day),
end: new Date(@s.Ends.Year, @s.Ends.Month-1, @s.Ends.Day)
},
</text>
}
HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode to escape quotes and html markup.<text> is nicer for multiline output.Here is how to do it:
title: '@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(s.Name))'
Try like this:
$(function () {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: '',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
},
month: 5,
year: 2011,
editable: false,
events: @Html.Raw(new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(ViewBag.Sessions))
});
});
ViewBag.Sessions might require some modifications to achieve the desired result (in terms of property names), which brings me to the usual remark I make about ViewBag when I see someone using it: using ViewBag is bad practice and I would recommend you using a strongly typed view with a view model.
