Hi all I've recently started playing around with the ASP.NET MVC NerdDinner sample, and as part of that you get to play around with Linq to SQL classes. This looks cool, so I decided to break away (perhaps a tad prematurely!) and try and create my own MVC application, but this time modelling my own simple database with Linq to SQL. The...

Then I want to use an ActionFilter to see if the injected class has some properties that I validate inside it's constructor. So is there a way to use an ActionFilter to validade the properties...
This question might sound weird but I am finding it really difficult to digest a typical aspx page in ASP.NET MVC application. For example: <%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %> <asp:Content ID="aboutTitle" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server"> About U...
I have jqGrid running fine locally in VS 2008 in a ASP.NET MVC project. When I upload the project to the server (W2008, IIS7) I get an error in IE 8, Object doesn't support this property or method on the call to jqGrid. In Firebug - jqGrid is not a function. All other JQuery plugins works fine (before and after the upload). Any ideas wh...

Let's say I have an ASP.NET site (MVC in this case) that uses Forms authentication and a typical membership system. The site allows both authenticated and anonymous users. When I release the site as a private beta I want to add another layer of security on top of the application, like superuser's simple password system, for example. Onc...
I'm wondering about best practices to develop ASP.NET MVC apps with an option to deploy on Linux. If you are creating these kinds of MVC apps, What Linux/Mono platform are you targeting? How much of the development are you doing on Windows and how much on Linux? Are you using an ORM to abstract the database? Which one? Are you running ...
I marked this as Community Wiki since this might be more on the philosophical side of things, but I've been thinking about this on and off for a while. Basically the idea is this: With MVC you have the controller that churns information, the model that carries it, and the view that displays it. It's a simple separation on paper. If I...
I have built a MVC website on IIS6. I used the built-in ASP.NET Security without Membership, just the way it was implemented in the template solution. It is easy to secure a contoller or action, but now I need to expose the user management to an admin logged into the site. I understand that the builtin ASP controls for doing this are n...
Is there any way to specify that a given Controller or Action uses Session state in a read-only manner? In "old" ASP.NET we used to do something like this: <%@ Page EnableSessionState="ReadOnly" %> Is there an ASP.NET MVC equivalent? I'm looking to allow my application to serve multiple requests from the same client simultaneously, an...

I am currently building a custom Membership Provider for my Asp.net MVC website. I have an existing database with a Users table and I'm using Linq-to-Sql to automatically generates this class for me. What I would like to do is have this generated User class inherit from the MembershipUser class so I can more easily use it in my custom ...
How do I cache an individual user control with ASP.NET MVC? I also need the VaryByParam etc support that usually comes with ASPX Output Caching. I don't want to cache the entire action though, only one of my user controls in the view. An example would be nice :) Thank you! ...
I just started using ASP.NET MVC and I have two routing questions. How do I set up the following routes in ASP.NET MVC? domain.com/about-us/ domain.com/contact-us/ domain.com/staff-bios/ I don't want to have a controller specified in the actual url in order to keep the urls shorter. If the urls looked liked this: domain.com/comp...
Let's say that you have a Model that looks kind of like this: public class MyClass { public string Name { get; set; } public DateTime MyDate { get; set; } } The default edit template that Visual Studio gives you is a plain textbox for the MyDate property. This is all fine and good, but let's say that you need to split that up ...
I'm creating a little special purpose view engine for asp.net mvc. That goes well enough. But i've been looking around to find information on how to somehow add intellisense for the C# code embedded in my view. I can see Spark does that, but going through the sources, I still can't see how. And WebForms view engine does it - not surpri...
