How to pass a javascript array to ASP.NET MVC model? - javascript

I want to create a field object in ASP.NET MVC and store it to a database. The field should contain its coordinates which the user can select with the google maps api.
And now, how can I pass the coordinates of the markers, which are stored in a javascript array, to the Model´s List?
This is my Controller for this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using BL;
using MvcAgrarTest.Models;
namespace MvcAgrarTest.Controllers
{
public class FieldsController : Controller
{
private MvcAgrarContext db = new MvcAgrarContext();
// GET: Fields
public ActionResult Index()
{
var field = db.CreateFieldViewModel.Include(f => f.FieldType);
return View(field.ToList());
}
// GET: Fields/Create
public ActionResult Create()
{
var model = new CreateFieldViewModel();
ViewBag.FieldTypeId = new SelectList(db.FieldType, "FieldTypeId", "Name");
return View(model);
}
// POST: Fields/Create
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create(CreateFieldViewModel model, CreateFieldViewModel field, string[] markers)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
PostCoordinates(markers);
db.CreateFieldViewModel.Add(field);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
ViewBag.FieldTypeId = new SelectList(db.FieldType, "FieldTypeId", "Name", field.FieldTypeId);
return Json(true);
}
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing)
{
db.Dispose();
}
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
}
}
Here my Create View with the Google Maps script:
#model MvcAgrarTest.Models.CreateFieldViewModel
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}
<h2>Feld anlegen</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">

#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group">

<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name, new { htmlAttributes = new { #placeholder = "Feldname", #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.FieldTypeId, "Feldtyp", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })

#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Size, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div id="google">
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

var map;
function initialize() {
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(50.617109, 8.065738);
var myOptions = {

mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
// array to store markers that has been drawn
var markers = [];
// event listener draw a marker
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function (e) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker();
marker.setPosition(e.latLng);
marker.setMap(map);
marker.setVisible(true);
markers.push(marker);
// draw polygon on marker click
// once user clicks on on of the markers
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function (e) {
document.getElementById("label").innerHTML = "";
drawPoints(markers);
label.style.borderStyle = "dotted"
for (i = 0; i < markers.length; ++i) {
document.getElementById("label").innerHTML += markers[i].position;
}
// empty the markers array
markers = [];
});
});
}
function drawPoints(markers) {
var poly = new google.maps.Polygon;
var points = [];
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
points.push(markers[i].getPosition());
}
poly.setMap(map);
poly.setPath(points);
poly.setVisible(true);
}
</script>
<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div>

<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Erstellen" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
and finally my ViewModel to create the field:
public class CreateFieldViewModel
{
[Key]
[Display(Name="ID")]
public int FieldId { get; set; }
[Required]
[Display(Name="Fieldname")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[Required]
[Display(Name="Fieldtype")]
public int FieldTypeId { get; set; }
[Required]
[Range(0.01, int.MaxValue, ErrorMessage = "The Size can´t be 0 or less")]
[Display(Name="Fieldsize")]
public float Size { get; set; }
[Display(Name="Coordinates")]
public List<string> Coordinates { get; set; }
public virtual FieldType FieldType { get; set; }
}
/edit: Id did it like this now, but it still doesn´t work
changed part from the google maps API:
var passdata = [];
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function(e){
for (y=0; y<markers.length; ++y){
passdata[y] = markers[y].position
}
drawpoints(markers);
$.ajax({
url: "#Url.Action("Create","Fields")",
typ: "POST",
datatype: "json",
data: JSON.stringify({coordinates: passdata}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
traditional: true,
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
},
});
And the Controller Function:
// GET: Fields/Create
public ActionResult Create()
{
var model = new CreateFieldViewModel();
ViewBag.FieldTypeId = new SelectList(db.FieldType, "FieldTypeId", "Name");
return View(model);
}
// POST: Fields/Create
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create(CreateFieldViewModel field, string[] coordinates)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
field.Coordinates = coordinates;
db.CreateFieldViewModel.Add(field);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
ViewBag.FieldTypeId = new SelectList(db.FieldType, "FieldTypeId", "Name", field.FieldTypeId);
return View(field);
}

I understood, (looking by you code) that you want to go with submitting form, and not ajax?
If so, you have two choices (known to me):
Create html hidden input and paste there as value serialized JSON of your markers array - but you will have to deserialize this value later. In this example you need to change Coordinates type in your model to string.
JavaScript
// some sample coordinates, you need to extract them from markers
var coordinates = ["12,21","213,231"];
var dataToSend = JSON.stringify(coordinates);
$("#coordinatesInput").val(dataToSend);
HTML
<input hidden id="coordinatesInput" name="model.Coordinates" value=""/>
Create dynamically, using JavaScript (for example append function) many hidden html inputs with name model.Coordinates[i] and value of single coordinate (use some loop).
JavaScript
var coordinates = ["231,2132","312,231","231,321"];
var container = $("#container");
//container, where you will be adding inputs, in you example it could be form-horizontal class
coordinates.forEach(function(val, i){
container.append('<input hidden name="model.Coordinates['+i+']" value="'+val+'">');
});
Of course using AJAX is much better way, and AlexB answer is way to go, but mechanism of it is a little different. It is good to use only AJAX (not form submitting), because in your example you need to use two Actions, one for AJAX and one for form submitting.

You can pass your Javascript array to your controller using an Ajax call :
$.ajax({
url : "#Url.Action("MethodName", "ControllerName")",
contentType : "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType : "json",
type : "POST",
data : JSON.stringify({coordinates: markers})
})
(where markers is your JS array to pass to the controller, I guess)
And your controller will look like
public ActionResult MethodName(Single[] coordinates)
{
// ...
}

MVC button save button not working, button does nothing

I am trying to append an item to the SQL table but when I press the save button nothing happens. The reset button works but not the Save. Nothing is showing in the database either. Basically, I don't understand why the buttons act as if there was no code attached to it. No Error message or crash shows up either.

I think the problem is you have made a typo mistake while giving the forma data. Try changing "formDate" to "formData". I have attached the picture to show where to.
enter image description here
As far as I know, your url may require something like .html file extension. Try to revise like url: "/Item/index.html, and see if the request success or not.

Cascading dropdown list does not bind data to the 2nd dropdown

I have a main view. Once the posting is done, it will render a partial view in the main view.
My partial view has a cascading dropdown list that changes the 2nd DropdownList items based on the selected value from the 1st DropdownList.
Here is my Dropdown in my Partial View.
#model MigratingDB.Models.ViewModel
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js"></script>
<div>
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.DropdownViewModel.SelectedValue1,
Model.DropdownViewModel.List1, "Select",htmlAttributes: new { #class = "form-control", #id = "ddl1" })
</div>
<div>
#Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.DropdownViewModel.SelectedValue2,
Model.DropdownViewModel.List2 = new SelectList(Enumerable.Empty<SelectListItem>()), "Select",
htmlAttributes: new { #class = "form-control", #id = "ddl2" })
</div>
The script I tried based from this.
<script>
$(function () {
$('#ddl1').change(function () {
$("#ddl2").empty();
var selectedValue = $(this).val();
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("Getddl2Items", "Controller")',
type: "POST",
dataType: 'json',
data: { id: selectedValue },
success: function (value) {
$.each(value, function (i, val) {
$("#ddl2").append('<option value="' + val.Value + '">' +
val.Text + '</option>');
});
},
error: function (ex) {
alert('Failed' + ex);
},
});
});
});
</script>
In my Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Foo (ViewModel vm)
{
// Dropdownlist
var list1 = // get items frop ddl1
vm.DropdownViewModel.List1= new SelectList(list1, "Value", "Text");
return PartialView("_PartialView", vm);
}
// Get ddl2 Items
public JsonResult Getddl2Items (int id)
{
var ViewModel = new ViewModel();
var list2= // get ddl2 items from the database
ViewModel.DropdownViewModel.List2= new SelectList(list2, "Value", "Text");
return Json(ViewModel.DropdownViewModel.List2, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Every time I tried to select a value from the ddl1, it errors and show
Failed [object Object].
What causes this?
This is a long post that I tested and works. Since it is long, you can pick out the parts you need. Let's work together to figure out why it is not working for you.
This will be your table and data creation:
--Use your database name instead of Breaz
USE [Breaz]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[tblCity] Script Date: 7/17/2017 9:46:31 AM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblCity](
[Cityid] [int] NOT NULL,
[CityName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[stateid] [int] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[tblState] Script Date: 7/17/2017 9:46:31 AM ******/

Create your edmx, by going through visual studio wizard.
Create your view model:
//user your namespace
namespace Testy20161006.Models
{
public class Registration
{
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Enter State")]
public string State { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Enter City")]
public string City { get; set; }
}
}
Your controller/classes:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public JsonResult getCity(int id)
{
//use your dbcontext name from edmx wizard
using (BreazEntities33 objEF = new BreazEntities33())
{
var ddlCity = objEF.tblCities.Where(x => x.stateid == id).ToList();
List<SelectListItem> licities = new List<SelectListItem>();
licities.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "--Select State--", Value = "0" });
if (ddlCity != null)
{
foreach (var x in ddlCity)
{
licities.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = x.CityName, Value = x.Cityid.ToString() });
}
}
return Json(new SelectList(licities, "Value", "Text", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet));
}
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult IndexStackOverflow(Registration registration)
{
//put breakpoint here to see values coming back from view
return View(registration);
}
//use your name of action that starts the process, named in routeconfig.cs
public ActionResult IndexStackOverflow()
{
bindState();
return View();
}
public void bindState()
{
//use your dbcontext name from edmx wizard
using (BreazEntities33 objEF = new BreazEntities33())
{
var state = objEF.tblStates.ToList();
List<SelectListItem> li = new List<SelectListItem>();
li.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "--Select State--", Value = "0" });
foreach (var m in state)
{
li.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = m.statename, Value = m.stateid.ToString() });
ViewBag.state = li;

ajax does not send textbox value of google map lat & lng to controller in mvc

when i click on google map,i get lat & lng as below:
and i have some submit textbox and fill those.
after that,i send form via ajax using below ajax :
<script>
$("#btnAdd").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var dataa = new window.FormData($("#jobDetails")[0]);
$.ajax({
url: "/Job/Create",
data: dataa,
type: "Post",
contentType: false,
processData: false,
dataType: "Json",
success: function (result) {
$("#result").html(result.id);
},
error: function () {
alert("خطا!");
}
});
});
</script>
but in ActionResult i get lat & lng 0 as below
this is my view code:
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Job.PickUpAddress.Lat, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Job.PickUpAddress.Lat, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control", id = "pickLat", #value = "" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Job.PickUpAddress.Lat, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Job.PickUpAddress.Lng, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Job.PickUpAddress.Lng, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control", id = "pickLng", #value = "" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Job.PickUpAddress.Lng, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
and this is my model:
public double Lat { get; set; }
public double Lng { get; set; }
i dont know why ajax send lat & lng 0. can anybody help me?
i figure that how solve this.lat and lng are string but in model my property was double. i changed double to string and question solved.

jQuery code doesn’t work properly after submitting Ajax.BeginForm in asp.net mvc

I tried to minimize huge problem to a small one so I created the new sample web project; mvc-empty in VS. I created one view named „Index” in Home controller. Index view code:
#model WebApplication16.ViewModels.Home.IndexVM
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
#Html.Partial("~/Views/Home/_Orders.cshtml", Model.Orders)
#section scripts{
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js"></script>
<script>
$("#Type").change(function () {
$('#order-current > img').remove();
var currentOrder = "#Type_" + $("#Type").find('option:selected').text();
var $img = $(currentOrder).clone();
$img.removeClass("hidden");
$("#order-current").append($img);
$("#ajax-form").submit();
});
</script>
}
Home controller code:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index()
{
IndexVM dataVM = new IndexVM();
GetControlsDataSource(dataVM.Orders);
return View(dataVM);
}
private static void GetControlsDataSource(OrdersVM dataVM)
{
List<SelectListItem> typeControlDataSource = new List<SelectListItem>();
foreach (var en in Enum.GetValues(typeof(TypeEnum)))
{
SelectListItem item = new SelectListItem();
item.Text = en.ToString();
item.Value = ((int)en).ToString();
typeControlDataSource.Add(item);
}
dataVM.TypeControlDataSource = typeControlDataSource;
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Pay(IndexVM dataVM)
{
GetControlsDataSource(dataVM.Orders);
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
dataVM.Orders.Info = "Info bla bla bla";
return PartialView("~/Views/Home/_Orders.cshtml", dataVM.Orders);
}
else
{
return View(dataVM);
}
}
}
There is also a partial view named “_Orders”, which is rendered on the Index view.The code of _Orders partial view:
#model WebApplication16.ViewModels.Home.OrdersVM
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Pay", "Home", new AjaxOptions
{
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
UpdateTargetId = "result",
}, new { id = "ajax-form" }))
{
<div id="result">
<div id="order-current">
</div>
<div>
#Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Name, new { #class = "form-control", style = "margin-top:10px;", id = "Name" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.Name)
</div>
<div>
#Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.Type, Model.TypeControlDataSource, new { #class = "form-control", style = "margin-top:10px;", id = "Type", })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.Type)
</div>
<div>
<p>#Model.Info</p>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="ok"> OK</button>
</div>
}
<div id="orders-container">
<img id="Type_I" src="~/App_Images/Type_I.png" class="img-responsive hidden" />
<img id="Type_II" src="~/App_Images/Type_II.png" class="img-responsive hidden" />
<img id="Type_III" src="~/App_Images/Type_III.png" class="img-responsive hidden"/>
</div>
Index model is described by class IndexVM:
public class IndexVM
{
public IndexVM()
{
this.Orders = new OrdersVM();
}
public OrdersVM Orders { get; set; }
}
_Orders model is described by class OrdersVM:
public class OrdersVM
{
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Info { get; set; }
[Required]
public TypeEnum Type { get; set; }
public List<SelectListItem> TypeControlDataSource { get; set; }
}
public enum TypeEnum
{
I,
II,
III
}
After change of value in DropDownListFor control with id=”Type”, the picture from hidden field should be injected by jquery code located in Index view into container with id=”order-current” and after that operation the ajax-form should be submitted. It works properly but after calling
return PartialView("~/Views/Home/_Orders.cshtml", dataVM.Orders);
from the HomeController, the field Info is updated properly but the injected picture from the “order-current” div container is gone. I tried to see what’s wrong in Google Chrome using F12 button and there are no errors but appeared an infinite loop in “browserLink” script. I can’t explain why.
All I want is to see the injected picture in container with id=”order-current after submitting the ajax-form. How to do this and what I did wrong?
Thanks to my friend I finally solved the problem. After updating the “result” container, all events added by jQuery to controls located in this container are unpinned. That’s why it crashes.
The way to make it work correctly is to create a function and pin it to the event OnComplete of AjaxBeginForm. After each update of the result container via ajax, this function is called. I also made a small mistake in Home controller because I inserted a wrong view model class. After all changes, it looks like this;
Home controller code:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index()
{
IndexVM dataVM = new IndexVM();
GetControlsDataSource(dataVM.Orders);
return View(dataVM);
}
private static void GetControlsDataSource(OrdersVM dataVM)
{
List<SelectListItem> typeControlDataSource = new List<SelectListItem>();
foreach (var en in Enum.GetValues(typeof(TypeEnum)))
{
SelectListItem item = new SelectListItem();
item.Text = en.ToString();
item.Value = ((int)en).ToString();
typeControlDataSource.Add(item);
}
dataVM.TypeControlDataSource = typeControlDataSource;
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Pay(OrdersVM dataVM)
{
GetControlsDataSource(dataVM);
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
dataVM.Info = "Info bla bla bla";
return PartialView("~/Views/Home/_Orders.cshtml", dataVM);
}
else
{
return View(dataVM);
}
}
}
Index view:
#model WebApplication16.ViewModels.Home.IndexVM
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
#Html.Partial("~/Views/Home/_Orders.cshtml", Model.Orders)
<div id="orders-container">
<img id="Type_I" src="~/App_Images/Type_I.png" class="img-responsive hidden" />
<img id="Type_II" src="~/App_Images/Type_II.png" class="img-responsive hidden" />

}
function OnCompleteAjaxForm() {

var currentOrder = "#Type_" + $("#Type").find('option:selected').text();
var $img = $(currentOrder).clone();
$img.removeClass("hidden");
$("#order-current").append($img);
}
</script>
}
_Orders partial view code:
#model WebApplication16.ViewModels.Home.OrdersVM

DataBinding: 'System.String' does not contain a property with the name 'numeroGuia'

I am a newbie at ASP.net MVC5, my problem is this:
I am creating a partial view "AgregaGuia", in which I make a query to TblGuias model of a row that do not yet have "fechaRecepcionGuia", these guides are filled in a combobox and when selected this the guide fills all textbox in that view. However when running the application it generated the following error: DataBinding : 'System.String' does not Contain a property with the name 'numeroGuia'.
Could anyone help me please??
this is my model:
public partial class TblGuias
{
public TblGuias()
{
this.TblFactIC = new HashSet<TblFactIC>();
}
public string numeroGuia { get; set; }
public string companiaEnvios { get; set; }
public string destino { get; set; }
public decimal pesoGuia { get; set; }
public System.DateTime fechaEnvioGuia { get; set; }
public Nullable<System.DateTime> fechaRecepcionGuia { get; set; }
public string comprobante { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<TblFactIC> TblFactIC { get; set; }
}
this is my controller:
public class vueInveEntrsController : Controller
{
public ActionResult AgregaGuia()
{
ViewData["guia"] = new SelectList(db.TblGuias.Where(g => g.fechaRecepcionGuia == null).Select((g => g.numeroGuia)),"numeroGuia", "companiaEnvios","destino","pesoGuia","fechaEnvioGuia");
return PartialView(db.TblGuias.ToList());
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Action(string numero)
{
var query = from c in db.TblGuias
where c.numeroGuia == numero
select c;
return Json(query);
}
}
and my view is as follows:
#using (#Html.BeginForm("Action", "vueInveEntrs", FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-group">
#Html.Label("Seleccione Guia", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownList("numero", (SelectList)ViewData["guia"], new { onchange = "Action(this.value);", #class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.Label("Compañia Envios", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBox("transporte", null, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.Label("Destino", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBox("destino", null, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.Label("Peso", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBox("peso", null, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.Label("Fecha Envio", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBox("fechaenvio", null, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
}
<script type="text/javascript">
function Action(numero) {
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("Action", "vueInveEntrs")',
type: "POST",
data: { "numero": numero },
"success": function (data) {
if (data != null) {
var vdata = data;
$("#transporte").val(vdata[0].companiaEnvios);
$("#destino").val(vdata[0].destino);
$("#peso").val(vdata[0].pesoGuia);
$("#fechaenvio").val(vdata[0].fechaEnvioGuia);
}
}
});
}
</script>
The problem is this line in your controller:
ViewData["guia"] = new SelectList(
db.TblGuias.Where(g => g.fechaRecepcionGuia == null).Select((g => g.numeroGuia)),
"numeroGuia", "companiaEnvios","destino","pesoGuia","fechaEnvioGuia");
You are not specifying the constructor parameters for SelectList properly. There are several different overloads, but I think the one you want is this one:
public SelectList(
IEnumerable items,
string dataValueField,
string dataTextField
)
The first parameter, items, represents the list of items that you want be rendered into <option> tags inside the <select>.
The second parameter, dataValueField, is the name of the property on the items in the enumerable which will become the value attribute inside each <option> tag.
Similarly, the third parameter, dataTextField, is the name of the property which will become the text displayed for each <option>.
So, if you change your code to the following, I think it should work:
ViewData["guia"] = new SelectList(
db.TblGuias.Where(g => g.fechaRecepcionGuia == null), "numeroGuia", "numeroGuia");
If you want different text to display in the dropdown list, change the third parameter to a different property from your TblGuias class.
