About 10 stackoverflow.com podcasts back Jeff mentioned that instead of wiring up his routes inside of the global.asax file he instead put them inside his controllers near the actions those routes would invoke. How does one go about doing this? Doesn't a route have to be registered before the controller it routes to is hit? Does he ...
Hello, I wondered if there is an easy way (sample?) to re-POST an incoming form collection to a different server. The reason: I have server 1 which has a form with a bunch of fields, but they actually need to be stored on server 2. I can't allow people access to server 2 though, so I need to ask for the input on server 1. I'd still like...

Hello I have a view where I'm going to list a checkbox-list (helper), and I'm not sure howto call that, since it always says my "type" is wrong.

We are building an ASP.NET MVC site, and I'm struggling with where to define a connection to best enable unit testing (I use 'connection' generically - it could be a session, a connection, an adapter, or any other type of data context that can manage transactions and database operations). Let's say we have 3 classes: UserController U...

However, if I change the project properties to 'use local IIS Web Server' and load the site, only the Home Page works. If I try to load an...
I'm trying to dynamically load partial views into a view by passing the list of paths for the partial views I want and then calling RenderPartial on each. This seems to do the trick. The problem comes in when I try to pass the model to the partial view. Since I'm dynamically loading them, I don't exactly know which model to pass for t...
I have got an app I'm writing and I'm currently considering using MVC to develop it. I have used MVC quite a few years ago under J2EE, so I have some familiarity with the framework, but I want to review how it is implemented under ASP.NET before I go ahead with it. I have done some prototyping using webforms and have written some quite...
