In an existing VS2008 SP1 web project I'm introducing an MVC page. I was able to manually create a view and get it working just fine but I'm unable to get the "Add View" and "Add Controller" to work from the Solutions Explorer. Also, the MVC templates don't show up when I try and Add a New Item. I know my VS2008 is setup properly becaus...

Hi, I've been playing with ASP.NET MVC and ran into something I can't figure out. Suppose I have an object like this : public class TestObject { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } } And a view page (Create.aspx) like this : <form action="/Create" method="post"> <p> <%=Html.TextBox("N...

Here's a clip: 1) Create Extension methods of UrlHelper to generate your url from Route Avoid passing the controller, action or route name as string, create extension methods of UrlHe...
Currently I build my websites on my machine, deploy them to a test machine to see if they still work there and then have to request the sysadmin to deploy them to the qa/production servers. Time after time that what should be my moment of pride is killed by some deployment procedure that was misunderstood, forgotten or not documented. Cu...
Firstly, bear with me here. I have a custom model binder which is successfully mapping form data to a custom object. Within this model binder it also maps form items to different custom object. What I feel I should be able to do is create a separate model binder to take care of this second mapping. This is a simplified version. Custom o...

I am fairly new to ASP MVC and was wondering what is the best way to handle conditional statements in your views? I am sure there isn't a one size fits all approach, but for simple checks is it wise to have If-Then-Else statements littering the view? For example, say I have a list and wish to set the class on one of the list items if on...

I really love the "one model in - one model out" idea of Fubu MVC. A controller would look something like this public class MyController { public OutputModel MyAction(InputModel inputModel) { //.. } } and the service locator would automagically fill in all the required dependencies in the co...

So, Questions, Tags, Users, etc. Now lets say you have a "sub tab" under this main one. So there were for example View and Add tabs displayed once you had selected the main Questions t...
I am looking for a lightweight CMS Library for a .net MVC application. I don't need any frontend management, just a library that can store and retrieve pieces of content. I plan on writing the frontend myself. The most complex thing I can see myself needing to store is a set of news posts. Aside from this I need to be able to store sets ...
