I am pretty new to MVC and hope that I am approaching this the correct way. Any input or advice would be great. I would like to have a thumbnail view of an image load normally and when a user clicks on the image, the dynamic picture loads using the colorbox jquery plugin. The problem is when you click on the smaller image, the dynamic...
I would like to build a calendar 'component' for my website. I want to make it manageable and easy to extend in the future. I will not be using it for any other website but it want to make it solid independent of the rest of the website. The website is built with ASP.NET MVC. I want to include different views (month, week, day [maybe ev...

The Name and Email are pre-populated (I'm using Windows Authentication, Intranet app), and I want to send the SelectedValue from the DropDown to my controller as an Int32, I don't want to send the entire SelectList back. This li...
When you have an ASP.Net MVC form created by Html.BeginForm(), how do fields inside it get populated? In the case of <asp:Content ID="Main" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server"> <h2>Edit Dinner</h2> <%= Html.ValidationSummary("Please correct the errors and try again.") %> <% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %> <p> <labe...
Looking to create my first MVC application. Coming from WebForms I'm pretty excited to create an application that I can easily test. I have looked into Kigg (the Digg clone done in MVC) and from the looks of it, it uses many of the best-practices in its architecture. Having said that, would their approach be a good basis to base my we...
I understand that fields such as Html.TextBox() accept two values, the first one being the name and the second one being the value. And so does Html.TextArea(). But in a case where the form is submitted as AJAX and the div where the form is placed is replaced with a view from the server, the form fields insist on taking the previous valu...
I have a partial view in MVC that goes something like: <div id="comments"> ... </div> Inside that div there's a form that calls a controller using AJAX and gets back that same partial view. The problem is that the results of calling the view replaces the contents of the div, not the whole div, and I end up with: <div id="comments...
Hi everyone, I'm building this app at night after work and have been struggling with this design problem for a week or two now. I'm building a program that has 44 different types of entries and requires the ability to create a custom type. Because users might change the fields in a particular type of entry and/or define their own, my ...
In the current examples on ASP.NET MVC I see quite basic entities, with simple CRUD methods. But I'm not sure about what to do with more advanced models. Let me give an example: We have a garage website. The garage has: Inventory with carparts Employees Customers Cars that consists of all cars that are/were in the garage Now lets ta...
I'm working on a mvc application that uses jquery to implement dynamically loading page content using jquery.load and/or jquery.ajax. But when the user uses the back button in these kind of applications, the result for the user is often unexpected. I've seen articles like RSH from google that claim to solve this problem, but I'm not sure...

In ASP.Net MVC, having a form more or less like this: <% using (Ajax.BeginForm(new AjaxOptions() { OnSuccess="onSuccess"})) {%> <p> <label for="Comment">Comment:</label> <%= Html.TextArea("Comment")%> <%= Html.ValidationMessage("Comment", "*")%> </p> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit comment" /></p> <% } %> How c...
My mind is somehow blank. How do I do this: I have a RegistrationController and want the URL /register to hit the action Register on that controller. What do I have to add as a map route in global.asax? ...
I've been writing code for ASP.NET since the start, and today I encountered something I've never seen before. Typically I've looked for line breaks in C# (when posted in ASP.NET from a textarea, for example) by expecting "\r\n". Now I'm using the MVC framework, and the text coming over the wire from a textarea simply has "\n" for line br...
So I have pouring of this code forever, trying to figure this out... I am using Entity Framework 1.0 with ASP.NET MVC in .NET 3.5 SP1 with EFPocoAdapter (so separate Poco classes). So I have the following code for one of Controllers: [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult EditUser(int? id, FormCollection form) {...
I'm looking for a good and inexpensive way to prevent denial of service attacks on my ASP.NET MVC site. I've been thinking about a solution that intercepts the HttpHandler and then counts requests in the Cache object, with the key being something like "RequestCount_[IpAddressOfRequestClient]" but that seems like it would generate a cra...
I'm building an ActionFilter to reuse some code for a simple spam block - basically what I do is that I have a Html Helper method that renders an input textbox and a hidden input, and in the ActionFilter I check whether the two values are the same or not. If not, I want to leverage the rest of my validation logic and add a ModelStateErro...

I've downloaded the latest DotNetOpenAuth libraries but I'm not sure how to put it all together. Can anyone help with a quick step-by-step tutorial? Is this as simp...
There has been many discussion on ASP.NET MVC and Codebehind-files, mostly where it has been pointed out that these Codebehind-files are evil. So my question is, how do you handle page-specific logic? What we don't want here is spaghetti-code in the inline-code and we don't want page-specific code scattered throughout helper-classes or...
