The form also posts to itself as its a complex form and the form elements like dropdowns show posted values the code is as follows public ActionResult Index() { int id; id = Convert.ToInt32(Request.Form["ddlLendingType"]); if (id == 0)...

How do I recreate the form prepopulated with posted data when the validation fails and the ValidationSummary is fired off. I get the validators firing but cannot get a way to prepopulate the form. catch (Exception ex) { TempData["Message"] = "An Error Occured while saving the product!"; ModelStateDictionary modelDictionary = Val...
So as the title suggests I wish to create a new dom element (the HTML is generated and retrieved via AJAX). I kind of got it working but it appears hidden, and when I try to Fade In it breaks! function AddContent(Content) { div = document.createElement(Content) div.appendTo($("#contentAreas")); // $(div).f...

It depends on the Controller / Action that rendered the parent main view what is done once the entity is found. Lets say I have the controllers: HireController, FireController with Action ActOnPerson and...
I want to store additional information on my users (address, phone). Should I extend the registration page on the sample mvc template or should I set up a separate "profile" table and have that be a separate page? It seems nice to do it on the registration page, but I am not sure if there are issues playing around with the "aspnet_"......
Okay, so maybe this is a no no in the MVC pattern in which case, that's the answer I'm looking for. However, let's say I have some content html in a database and I want to pass it through to the view. I am assuming I could use a ViewData property to pass this through to the page. What sort of massaging do I need to do to the string to ge...

The following is taken from page 56 of Professional ASP.NET MVC 1.0. When we look at the Details.aspx template more closely, we’ll find that it contains static HTML as well as embedded rendering code. <% %> code nuggets execute code when the view template renders, and <%= %> code nuggets execute the code contained within them and the...

Order entity looks like Order{OrderNumber, Customer, Date, Address{Street, City, PostCode}}. Customer is mapped by NH as relation, Address is mapped as component. Data presented in the grid are flattened to columns na...
I'm passing data between my controller and my view using a ViewModel class. When there are validation errors, I return the ViewModel back to the view so the user can see the errors. I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to deal with the data that is only passed from the controller to the view, which isn't passed back to the contr...
I need to do something fairly simple: in my ASP.NET MVC application, I want to set a custom IIdentity / IPrincipal. Whichever is easier / more suitable. I want to extend the default so that I can call something like User.Identity.Id and User.Identity.Role. Nothing fancy, just some extra properties. I've read tons of articles and questio...
Hi all, I'm using MVC, I've got a search page, and I want to pass multiple arguments to the next page. I want to wrap these multiple parameters into an Object (CV) and pass it to the next screen, not just pass all the args individually via the query string. I'm sure there are lots of ways to skin this cat, but what's the MVC approve...

In this Partial you can remove items from the bag via a form post. The Partial has been place in a Master Page which is referenced by each of the Views in the Controller. When an item is removed ...

I am having a problem where a cookie I am setting is being lost directly after RedirectToAction() is called. Is something going on behind the scenes that invalidates the current request and creates a new one that causes the cookie to be lost before it has been persisted to disk? I understand that if you want data to be available after ...
