Dynamically Fetching Tasks Based on Selected Project in ASP.NET Core CSHTML Using AJAX

In a modern web application, the ability to dynamically update content based on user interaction can significantly improve user experience. If you're working on a .NET Core project with CSHTML views, you may find yourself needing to update data displayed on the page based on previous selections without the need for page reloads. Today, we'll address how you can dynamically fetch tasks associated with a selected project using AJAX.

The Problem

Suppose you have a web form that displays two dropdowns — one for selecting a project and another for its corresponding tasks. The main issue arises when a user selects a project; the task dropdown should automatically update to show only the tasks related to that project. Keeping data in sync without page reloads can be tricky, especially if multiple queries are involved. Let's break it down:

Two Tables: You have Projects and Tasks, where tasks are linked to projects via ProjectID.

ViewBags: You currently store the data for both projects and tasks in the ViewBag, but it can become messy and unmanageable.

Dynamic Update: You want to ensure that when a project is selected, only the relevant tasks should be displayed in the task dropdown.

The Solution

To resolve this issue, we can utilize AJAX to fetch the tasks dynamically based on the project selected. Below, we will outline the steps required to achieve this setup in your .NET Core project.

Step 1: Modify Your HTML Structure

Begin by updating the dropdown elements in your CSHTML file. Make sure to give them unique IDs and remove the static tasks dropdown contents.

Step 2: Set Up AJAX Request

Next, we need to write JavaScript that will execute an AJAX request whenever the user changes the project selection. This can be accomplished using jQuery.

Step 3: Set Up Your Backend API

For the AJAX request to work, you need an API endpoint that returns tasks based on the project ID. Make sure to implement this in your controller.

Conclusion

By following these steps, your application should now have a more responsive and user-friendly experience, allowing users to select a project and see the corresponding tasks without refreshing the page. This kind of dynamic interaction is essential for modern web applications and enhances user engagement.

Implementing AJAX in your ASP.NET Core project can greatly improve the functionality and usability of your forms, and separates your data access logic from your views, keeping your database credentials secure. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
