I'm building a small application in ASP.NET MVC. I'm still trying to find my way around some of the design problems that I encounter. One of them is the use of exceptions. I've built my model so that it throws an exception whenever an object does not exist or is not accessible to the user. I think I made the right choice, in my opinion....
I'm trying to stick some data into the app so I can then build a public string get + linq query to pull out just the bits I want when I need them. I'm just struggling to store it and then how I'd go about pulling it back out so I can query against it... public void CommonDatatoApp() { CDataResponse cCommonData = this.GatewayReferenc...

In keeping with the nature of the site, i.e. embedded Google maps, Street View, and using Google's CDN to host jQuery/jQueryUI for me... it'd be nice to offload the authent...
I have a View which I call RenderPartial. In the Partial usercontrol I set ViewData["IsTextAreaVisible"] = true; In my View after the call to RenderPartial I check the value of ViewData["IsTextAreaVisible"]. Even though the usercontrol had set it, the View thinks that it is null. Is this a bug or is there a better approach? Thanks ...

I created an App with ASP.NET MVC 1.0 and wish to use a custom method (for admins) to create a user. I took the Register method (in the Account controller) and renamed it to Create. I then commented out the line FormsAuth.SignIn(userName, false); to avoid the newly created user to sign in. When I complete the create user form, the use...
I'm currently present with the following situation. We have a huge enterprise application written with WebForms. Refactoring it or completely rewriting it is out of the question. So I'm not talking about migration WebForms -> MVC. However, I understand one can technically add MVC functionality to coexist with the rest of the project. I...
I want to inject some Json into the Html page returned by the server? Is there a public function that returns the Json string when Json(someObject) gets called? Note that I don't want to return Json to the browser in a seperate request. I want to convert an object graph to json and inject it into a script block. Thanks ...
I'm sure I have seen this syntax <%= Url.Action((MyController c) => c.MyMethod("a")) %> or something like it as a way to generate action URLs in ASP.net MVCs without magic strings. However, I can't find that Action overload. I have ASP.NET MVC 1.0. Where is it? ...
Hi, I'm just getting going with ASP.NET MVC and I'm also new to unit testing :) So far, so good. I have a controller action that sets up an index view using a viewmodel. Testing the controller action is straight-forward as I can pass a fake service class in the controller's constructor, but my viewmodel is quite complex and fetches i...

Is there a good way to change the MasterPage and/or .css dynamically in asp.net mvc based on the user preferences? I understand I can change the master name as follows: return View("viewName", "master-name", oModel) and the view using a different contentPlaceHolder perhaps but that requires changing each controller+action. I'd have ...
What are the best practices regarding working with rich text in a web application? I don't want to leave myself vulnerable to script attacks. Should the data be encoded going into the database and then decoded when displayed back to the user? Any advice on rich text editor's that handle things like removing script tags or encoding the...
Note: This is a long winded question and requires a good understanding of the MVVM "design pattern", JSON and jQuery.... So I have a theory/claim that MVVM in DHTML is possible and viable and want to know if you agree/disagree with me and why. Implementing MVVM in DHTML revolves around using ajax calls to a server entity that returns J...
Is it possible to access to the "DataSources" window in Visual studio in an MVC project? We are trying to use Report Viewer in our MVC project. Tutorials for setting it up use the DataSources window, but I think this is just a WebForms project feature. Can anyone confirm that that is the case? ...
