asp.net membership - approval from admin

i am using the asp.net mvc sample app and have expanded it a bit. I use the asp.net membership for login and registration for users.

ASP.NET MVC - Implicit Form Action

I have a form which is part of a partial view and I need to submit it to a different location based on the context of the view containing the form.

ASP.NET MVC: Is UpdateModel an "expensive" operation (due to Reflection)?

Hello, I wondered whether UpdateModel is considered an "expensive" operation (due to Reflection lookup of the model properties), especially when seen in the context of a larger web application (think StackOverflow)? I don't want to engage in premature optimization but I consider it a design choice to use UpdateModel which is why I'd lik...

Delete Action From View Page

Greetings. In attempt to wrap my head around MVC I've just implemented a simple add/delete page which views records as well. This makes it easier for users to do most things from one page instead of having to navigate away to do simple tasks. The page lets you add a record (a business which has an ID and a name) which works fine. How...
