In the latest release of ASP.NET MVC 2 they have launched the concept of areas as supported by MS. However to perform this areas concept one has to create multiple separate projects. One project per area. In ASP.NET MVC 1 there were many other ways out there to support areas where you would still be working within the same project. T...
I've made an Area project for my ASP.NET MVC application called 'Admin'. This will contain all the logic for the Administration section of the site, where the users can add/remove pages, etc. There's a menu at the top, of things the user can manage. (E.g. 'Content', 'Users', etc) For each of these, I'm making a controller ('ContentCon...

I've been following this guide from MSDN about "Creating an ASP.NET MVC Areas Application Using Multiple Projects". Since ASP.NET MVC 2.0 is just preview one would imagine there to be some bugs. My problem is, it simply doesn't work! At least not the way it's suppose to. After setting everything up and pressing F5, one would think that,...
I've got two questions about Asp.Net MVC areas. I have only a shallow understanding of areas from what I've heard about them in various podcasts but I think I understand fairly well what they're supposed to be used for. Now my question is if I could also use them to enable me to gradually switch from development in Asp.Net webforms with ...

I am little bit confuse with Asp.net MVC Area. When we talk about WebForms we say, for Administrative tasks, you must have an Admin folder to separate the admin task. In MVC how i will treat my Admin tasks? I will go for Admin Area or Admin Controllers, Because if i will write controller for Admin tasks, each and every task will be w...
