Using a technique I found in one of the recent ASP.NET MVC books, I have an action method on a controller that returns a partial view for an ajax request and a full view actionresult for a normal get request -- it checks the IsAjaxRequest property of the Request object to determine which type of actionresult to return. The partial view ...

I'm in the process of adding some UI functionality to a hybrid WebForms/MVC site. In this case, I'm adding some AJAX UI features to a WebForms page (via jQuery), and the data is coming from an MVC JsonResult.

This is a question of style. On date night with my wife she says that I have none and should seek advice. In my ASP.NET MVC View I pick a sprite based on a boolean value set in the model like this: <div class="sprite-icon_dog<% =(Model.HasNewDog ? "_new" : "") %>"></div> This is ugly and I don't like it. My objective is to use the s...

The default ASP.NET MVC project sets up a "Models" directory that I don't know that I've ever used in the handful of MVC projects I've worked on. Normally, I have a separate 'library' project that stores business logic classes. Now I'm curious: Am I missing something big by not taking advantage of the default ASP.NET "Models" director...

I got some logic I want to execute each time a action returns a view. The logic needs to know the name of the action and the controller. At the moment I am working with a filter on each controller/action but sometimes I want all the actions that return a view to use this logic. So adding filters everywhere seems like extra work I can avo...
