I understand the general idea of shared state, but what exactly is shared state in the context of an ASP.NET MVC application, like Stackoverflow?

I've just installed ASP.NET MVC on my Vista x64 box, and created a default ASP.NET MVC project with no modifications. When I attempt to browse the application, I simply get the usual useless "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message. I've tried setting a breakpoint in Global.asax, but it's not being hit at all. Cassini seem...
I am building what will primarily be a mobile browser targeted ASP.NET MVC application. Although it will target the desktop as well in a smaller capacity. (I'm fairly new to both MVC and mobile apps.) I'm wondering what is the best practice for segregating mobile vs. desktop users in an MVC application. Should the controller be in ...

I notice a lot of the examples for ASP.NET use Linq2Sql as the datasource. Are there any examples out there which show how do use model binding with a non-Linq2Sql datasource, ie a dataset, or (as in my case) a generic list/collection of items based on a custom business object? ie public class WebsiteList : List { public WebsiteLi...
I am looking at moving away from the Exception Management Application Block in the Enterprise Library for a new ASP.NET MVC site. Scott Hansleman's post(s) on ELMAH has caught my eye but I don't fully understand the approach.
