In this article, we will learn MVC using Angular data binding for dynamic control in DataTables from a server side Web API using Visual Studio 2017.

In this article, we are going to:

Create a Database.
Create a Store procedure.
Create an MVC Application.
Use Angular DataTables Dynamic Control.

Create Database

Open SQL Server 2016, then click the “New Query” window and run the below query.

USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [test]
 CONTAINMENT = NONE
 ON  PRIMARY 
( NAME = N'test', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\test.mdf' , SIZE = 8192KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 65536KB ), 
 FILEGROUP [DocFiles] CONTAINS FILESTREAM  DEFAULT
( NAME = N'FileStream', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\FileStream' , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED)
 LOG ON 
( NAME = N'test_log', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\test_log.ldf' , SIZE = 8192KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 65536KB )
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 130
GO
IF (1 = FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'))
begin
EXEC [test].[dbo].[sp_fulltext_database] @action = 'enable'
end
GO

GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET FILESTREAM( NON_TRANSACTED_ACCESS = FULL, DIRECTORY_NAME = N'DocFileDirctory' ) 
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET TARGET_RECOVERY_TIME = 60 SECONDS 
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET DELAYED_DURABILITY = DISABLED 
GO
EXEC sys.sp_db_vardecimal_storage_format N'test', N'ON'
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET QUERY_STORE = OFF
GO

Create Table

I will be creating a new table based on employee info.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EmpMaster](
	[Row_id] [numeric](18, 0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
	[Emp_Code] [varchar](10) NULL,
	[Emp_FName] [varchar](50) NULL,
	[Emp_LName] [varchar](50) NULL,
	[Emp_Status] [bit] NULL,
	[Emp_DOB] [datetime] NULL,
	[Emp_Maritalstatus] [varchar](10) NULL,
	[Emp_Role] [varchar](50) NULL,
	[Emp_Department] [varchar](50) NULL,
	[Emp_Address] [varchar](500) NULL,
	[Emp_Profilestatus] [int] NULL,
	[Emp_Expriance] [int] NULL,
	[Create_By] [varchar](50) NULL,
	[Create_Date] [datetime] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

After creating the table, add some data.

SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[EmpMaster] ON 
GO
INSERT [dbo].[EmpMaster] ([Row_id], [Emp_Code], [Emp_FName], [Emp_LName], [Emp_Status], [Emp_DOB], [Emp_Maritalstatus], [Emp_Role], [Emp_Department], [Emp_Address], [Emp_Profilestatus], [Emp_Expriance], [Create_By], [Create_Date]) VALUES (CAST(1 AS Numeric(18, 0)), N'1000', N'Amit ', N'Sharma', 1, CAST(N'1958-04-20T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime), N'Married', N'Admin', N'Dev', N'California', 100, 20, N'Thiru', CAST(N'2017-07-24T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[EmpMaster] ([Row_id], [Emp_Code], [Emp_FName], [Emp_LName], [Emp_Status], [Emp_DOB], [Emp_Maritalstatus], [Emp_Role], [Emp_Department], [Emp_Address], [Emp_Profilestatus], [Emp_Expriance], [Create_By], [Create_Date]) VALUES (CAST(2 AS Numeric(18, 0)), N'2000', N'Erik ', N'Dietrich', 0, CAST(N'1988-05-10T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime), N'Married', N'Employee', N'Dev', N'Washington', 50, 10, N'Thiru', CAST(N'2017-07-24T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[EmpMaster] ([Row_id], [Emp_Code], [Emp_FName], [Emp_LName], [Emp_Status], [Emp_DOB], [Emp_Maritalstatus], [Emp_Role], [Emp_Department], [Emp_Address], [Emp_Profilestatus], [Emp_Expriance], [Create_By], [Create_Date]) VALUES (CAST(3 AS Numeric(18, 0)), N'3000', N'Abdul ', N'Azeez', 1, CAST(N'1990-02-14T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime), N'UnMarried', N'Employee', N'Dev', N'Michigan', 80, 8, N'Thiru', CAST(N'2017-07-24T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[EmpMaster] ([Row_id], [Emp_Code], [Emp_FName], [Emp_LName], [Emp_Status], [Emp_DOB], [Emp_Maritalstatus], [Emp_Role], [Emp_Department], [Emp_Address], [Emp_Profilestatus], [Emp_Expriance], [Create_By], [Create_Date]) VALUES (CAST(4 AS Numeric(18, 0)), N'4000', N'Dizzy', N'Dee', 1, CAST(N'1995-01-10T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime), N'UnMarried', N'Employee', N'Test', N'Kentucky', 90, 5, N'Thiru', CAST(N'2017-07-24T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[EmpMaster] ([Row_id], [Emp_Code], [Emp_FName], [Emp_LName], [Emp_Status], [Emp_DOB], [Emp_Maritalstatus], [Emp_Role], [Emp_Department], [Emp_Address], [Emp_Profilestatus], [Emp_Expriance], [Create_By], [Create_Date]) VALUES (CAST(5 AS Numeric(18, 0)), N'5000', N'John  ', N'Sonmez ', 1, CAST(N'1989-05-10T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime), N'Married', N'Employee', N'Test', N'North Carolina', 0, 2, N'Thiru', CAST(N'2017-07-24T00:00:00.000' AS DateTime))
GO

Create Store procedure

I have written the store procedure for my data operations so run below SP. In this procedure, I have done getting different data for dynamic control

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[PC_EmpMaster]

	@Row_id				BIGINT=NULL,
	@MODE				VARCHAR(10)=NULL
AS 
 BEGIN 
	SET NOCOUNT ON;
		IF(@MODE ='GET')
		BEGIN SELECT Row_id,Emp_Code,Emp_FName,Emp_LName,Emp_Status,CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), CONVERT( DATE ,Emp_DOB)) AS Emp_DOB,Emp_Maritalstatus,Emp_Profilestatus,Emp_Expriance,Emp_Address,Create_By,Create_Date AS Create_Date FROM EmpMaster
		END
		ELSE IF(@MODE ='GETBYID')
		BEGIN
SELECT Emp_Code,Emp_FName,Emp_LName,Emp_Role,Emp_Department,Emp_Address FROM EmpMaster WHERE Row_id=@Row_id
		END
	SET NOCOUNT OFF;

END

Open Visual Studio 2017.

Go to New menu >Click New and Project. Now it will open the New Project Window.

You can select ASP.NET Web Application on Framework 4.5. Enter the name of the project in “Solution name” text box then click OK.

One more window should appear. Select MVC Template in this pop-up and click OK.

After your project is created, follow the below links so you can download the neccessary plugin files.

Then inject the “DataTables” key word into the Angular module:

angular.module('uiroute',['ui.router', 'datatables']);

Create and design an HTML page with a table, with “datatable=”ng” inserted in teh <table> element. Then bind the Server data.

<table datatable="ng" class="table-responsive table-bordered table-striped ">

            <thead style="background :rgb(142, 28, 123); color: white;">

                <tr>
                    <th>

                    </th>
                    <th >
                        Row ID #
                    </th>
                    <th >
                        Employee Code

                    <th  >
                        Profile Status

Using Angular Datatable

Create “Model” folder in solution explorer & create new class in model folder.

public class ParamModel
    {
public string Mode { get; set; }
public long Row_id { get; set; }    
}

Write the below method in the home controller. “LoadData” will display the data in DataTables.

  [HttpPost]
        #region LoadData
        public async Task<JsonResult> LoadData(BookModel Param)
        {
            var result = await Task.Run(() =>
            {
               
                try
                {
                    HttpResponseMessage response = HttpClient.PostAsJsonAsync(apiUrl + "/GetEmployeeDetails", Param).Result;
                    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                    {
                        var responseData = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
                        return Json(responseData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                       return Json("Error", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    return Json("Error" + ex.ToString(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
                }
            });
            return result;
        }
        #endregion

In this method, I have called a Web API function with the async method. Refer the API URL as I have shown below in your Web.config file.

<add key="APIUrl" value="http://localhost:53490/api" />

Create an Angular controller and service for getting data from the server side.

Angular Controller

$scope.loadTable = function () {
        var Param={
            Mode:'GET'
        }
        var ServiceData = BookService.loadGrid(Param);
        ServiceData.then(function (response) {
            var result = JSON.parse(response.data);
            $scope.LoadData = result.loadEmployeeList;
        }, function () {
        });
    }

    $scope.loadTable();

    $scope.LoadById = function (Row_id)
    {
        var Param = {
            Row_id: Row_id,
            Mode: 'GETBYID'
        }
        var ServiceData = BookService.loadGrid(Param);
        ServiceData.then(function (response) {
            var result = JSON.parse(response.data);
            $scope.SubGrid = result.loadEmployeeList;
        }, function () {
        });
    }

    $scope.SubGrid = function (Row_id,index)
    {
        if ($scope.ShowGrid == index) {
            $scope.ShowGrid = -1;
            $scope.SubGrid = {};
        } else {
            $scope.ShowGrid = index;
            $scope.LoadById(Row_id);
        }
    }

Angular Service

this.loadGrid = function (Param) {
        var response = $http({
            method: "post",
            url: "Home/LoadData",
            data: JSON.stringify(Param),
            dataType: "json"
        });
        return response;
    }

Do not forget to refer the plugin files, and any JS files you also created.
