I'm having a bit of an issue setting up our test site. In IIS 7, our app pool for the site is running in integrated mode. In Authentication, I have Anon enabled and Forms auth enabled.

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but after searching around for quite a while, I haven't been able to find anything quite like what I'm trying to do: We build a series of web applications that are based on a common asp.net mvc engine. I would like to write a .net web app that would allow our project managers to automatically check o...

I'm looking for a way to set the checked property based on an integer (not boolean in this case) inside an MVC view. Is it possible to express this inside the view alone? (with our without an html helper is fine w/ me) ...
I ask this not to start anything negative. Rather, after looking at ASP.NET MVC it hit me (duh) that I am not using controls like on webforms but coding html markup by hand (gasp.) Is this a move backwards? I remember coming from classic asp to asp.net and dragging and dropping controls, creating a bll, etc. now it seems I am doing al...
In the StackOverflow Podcast #54, Jeff mentions they register their URL routes in the StackOverflow codebase via an attribute above the method that handles the route. Sounds like a good concept (with the caveat that Phil Haack brought up regarding route priorities). Could someone provide some sample to to make this happen? Also, any "b...

For iPhone web app development in ASP.NET, where do I begin? I'm considering using ASP.NET MVC, but how do I get started? Are there any weird caveats I should be aware of?

I'm looking for a good example that shows how to handle (in the controller) a POST onchange (of a input["text"] for example) Currently when I set my onchange = form[0].submit(); and I watch the action hit the controller, the HTTP verb is still GET for some odd reason. But when I view source the form on the page has the method="POST" .....
I'm using the ASP.NET MVC and the ADO.NET Entity Framework together. I want my Views and Controllers strongly-typed. But how am I supposed to handle entity associations? Here's a simple example: A Person has one Department. A Department has zero or more People. My controller passes an instance of a Person object and a collection ...

So, I tried to attach the model t...
