How do I access a strongly typed view of a model inside javascript?

I noticed that if I start doing this:

var companyID = <% %>;

I am not getting intellisense allowing me to access my Model.object, which is supposed to be available to me since it is strongly typed.

What am I missing here?

The intellisense support for javascript is a little sketchy as it is. Make sure you set it up correctly. I just used this tutorial and this at least it gives javascript intellisense.

Now, to test your question, I'll just put the following on one of my pages:



    <script type="text/javascript">
    var test = <%= Model.Site.SiteID %>;
    document.write(test);
</script>

and he actually wrote the SiteID. no intellisense for the model, but it does work. hope this helps some.

Nothing fancy, it's just syntax mixing that the IDE kicks out as you are in a javascript context in an IDE that tries to accommodate the javascript syntax. It probably resets most of the intellisense in this context, because it doesn't know (but hopefully) it <% %>

should be logically equal in javascript. There are a few things you can do to "hack" around this, such as setting up a facade javascript object that reflects the view and returning the object to the view values, although in most cases this is much more than worth it.

It will be open at the end of the day.

But maybe you can use a controller JavaScriptResult
