Html.RadioButton sets all values to selected value

After tinkering around to solve [this][1] problem, I think the core of the problem is the following: When you use the Html.RadioButton() html helper with an Enum as value field, you can only choose your option once. AFter reposting the page, the helpers will ignore the value set in the call and set all radio buttons to the same value, b...

ASP.NET MVC Beta 1 - Does It Support Strongly Typed View Data?

In previous releases there were 3 ways to pass data from controller to view AFAIK (shown below). I want to use method (2) with MVC Beta 1, but I can't find the renderView method. So what's the new syntax (if it's still possible)? Thanks in advance. Ben. Syntax #1: Old-school dictionary ViewData["Name"] = "Moo-moo"; ViewData["Age"] =...

MVC Beta [HandleError] Attribute (need help)

I've tried this both with and without the 'ExceptionType' parameter. I have an Error.aspx page in both the Views/Shared folder and the Views/thisController folder. But everytime I run this I get a "Server Error in '/' Application." error page, rather than the nice one in Views/Shared. Any idea what could be going wrong here? [HandleErr...

ASP.NET MVC & Ajax Control Toolkit

Hi, I'm trying to get my head around MVC + AJAX etc. One of the things I like about coding "old skool" (web forms) is the AJAX Control Toolkit. I saw on the Microsoft Storefront video 14, Rob Conery uses the TextboxWatermark control. When I downloaded the code though, I couldn't find any reference to the Watermark control or any othe...

MVC Routing - what number of routes will start to cause performance issues?

I am considering pre-loading routes to static content pages, allowing for n-depth nesting of content. I have a solution spiked that provides a bit of comfort in terms of the number of potential routes registered, but I'm wondering if I'm making the system overly complex. At what number of registered routes do you suspect a basic hosting...

Asp.net MVC Module binding with validation for Complex Types

I'm building a questionnaire app in asp.net mvc, and I'm having trouble with the module binder for a list of complex types. First: I can't get Questionnaire.IList<QuestionGroup>.IList<Question> object graph to work with the binder. So in the sample code below i use only one level IList.

Bad idea to alter asp.net mvc framework autogenerated database?

Is it a bad idea (and if why?) to add a a column to the auto generated asp.net (ASPNETDB.MDF, visual studio 2008, mvc framework) "user roles - database"? (E.g I want to add the columns RealName and LastName to the aspnet_Users table in the database.) The reason I want to add a column instead of creating an entire new table is to avoid ...
