c# - Adding a controller to edit profiles -

i writing small intranet page. displays employees , basic details in list using entity framework interact db , create "employee" class. adding logic allow users edit profiles. current problems :

• the forms work when navigated localhost; using pc-name/webaddress results in 404. causing ? how can fix ?
• the forms empty; want edit user profile id=1 example, of input boxes displayed, empty need type in of information again. can add functionality?
• access not restricted admins , owner of profile (where your
  current domain login == "domainac" column in database of users should permitted edit account , not otherwise). whats best solution here?

any in solving of these issues appreciated.

here current setup/flow of information :

displaying users using html/razor : (index.cshtml)

    <table id="employeetable">         <thead>             <tr>                 <th>name</th>                 <th>branch</th>                 <th>phone no.</th>                 <th>extension</th>                 <th>email</th>             </tr>         </thead>         <tbody>             @foreach (var prod in model)             {                 <tr>                     <td>@prod.fullname</td>                     <td>@prod.branch</td>                     <td class="js-phonenumbers">@prod.phoneno</td>                     <td>@prod.extension</td>                     <td>@prod.email</td>                     @if (user.isinrole(@"admins") || user.identity.name == prod.domainac)                     {                         <td><a href="/home/edit/@prod.id"  style="color: blue;">edit</a></td>                     }                     else                     {                         <td>user => @user.tostring()</td>                        }                     <td>                         <input type="checkbox" name="message" value="@prod.phoneno">message<br>                     </td>                 </tr>             }         </tbody>     </table> 

homecontroller.cs :

namespace app1.controllers {  public class homecontroller : controller     {          protected edmxdatabase entities = new edmxdatabase();          protected override void dispose(bool disposing)         {             entities.dispose(); //what do? made default             base.dispose(disposing);         }          public actionresult index()         {             var products =                 p in entities.employees                 orderby p.branch descending                 select p;              return view(products);         }         [httpget]         public actionresult edit(int id = -1)         {             var employee= new employee();              if (employee == null)             {                 return httpnotfound();             }              return view(employee);         }    } } 

edit.cshtml :

@model app1.models.employee  @{     viewbag.title = "edit"; } @using (html.beginform()) {         <fieldset>         <legend>employee</legend>          <div class="editor-label">             @html.labelfor(model => model.fullname)         </div>         <div class="editor-field">             @html.textboxfor(model => model.fullname)         </div>         <br/>          <div class="editor-label">             @html.labelfor(model => model.branch)         </div>         <div class="editor-field">             @html.textboxfor( model => model.branch )         </div>         <br/>          <div class="editor-label">             <div style="float: left;">                 @html.labelfor(model => model.domainac)             </div>             @html.textboxfor(model => model.domainac)         </div>         <br/>          <div class="editor-label">             @html.labelfor(model => model.phoneno)         </div>         <div class="editor-field">             @html.textboxfor( model => model.phoneno)         </div>         <br/>          <input type="submit" value="edit employee details" />      </fieldset> } 

the forms work when navigated localhost;

use url helper in index.chtml:

href="@url.action("edit", "home", new { id = prod.id })" 

the forms empty;

you should fill model in controller:

        [httpget]         public actionresult edit(int id = -1)         {             var employee = new employee(); // here should user data editing instead of creating empty model              if (employee == null)             {                 return httpnotfound();             }              return view(employee);         } 

access not restricted admins , owner of profile

the best solution case implement custom autorization attribute crud actions. read more here , after here.
