As you can see here and here I'm not a good friend of asp.net MVC's SelectList. This time I'm wondering how to count the items in it. I want to show a label instead of a dropdown if the possible items don't offer any choice (items.count <2). --EDIT-- Although Will's answer probably works too, the easy way to go is call .GetListItems...
I am working on an ASP.NET MVC application where I need to export data to an excel spreadsheet. Previously, in webforms apps, I used some code I found to render a GridView as an excel-compatible file. This was quite handy.

I have been looking through Scott Guthrie's MVC tutorials and it seems like the syntax for doing strongly typed views has changed, or I am doing something wrong... My controller code: return View(CurrentUser); Code behind in the view: public partial class EditProfile : ViewPage<User> Yet in the view's front end code if I type...
I'm developing an idea for a web application that would be well suited to one of the popular MVC frameworks out there right now, but torn between which to go with. I was originally going to go with Pylons, but upon reading about the BizSpark program, I'm reconsidering ASP.NET MVC. The hitch is that if I'm successful I'll need to pony up...

I am using the ASP.NET Client-Side ajax control toolkit in my asp.net MVC application. I see that there is a .js file named "AjaxControlToolkit.ModalPopup.ModalPopupBehavior.js" in the AjaxControlToolkit folder. However, I cannot find any examples on how to use it. [Edit] - As mentioned, I am using the Client-side, Script-only control to...
I'm trying to use the ASP.NET MVC Ajax.BeginForm helper but don't want to use the existing content insertion options when the call completes. Instead, I want to use a custom JavaScript function as the callback. This works, but the result I want should be returned as JSON. Unfortunately, the framework just treats the data as a string. Be...
I'm trying to avoid code like this when reusing the same ViewUserControl in ASP.NET MVC.

I am using asp.net mvc for an application. I've taken some guidance from Rob Conery's series on the MVC storefront. I am using a very similar data access pattern to the one that he used in the storefront. However, I have added a small difference to the pattern. Each class I have created in my model has a property called IsNew. The i...

When using the Ajax.BeginForm() helper in ASP.Net MVC, I can pass options with names of different functions, for example one to run OnBegin, one for OnSuccess etc. How do these work "under the hood"? The reason I'm asking is that I'm extending this to provide a jQuery based alternative, and I need to figure out how to get from having th...

I have tried to implement simple ViewPage caching with ASP.NET MVC, however I cannot get the page to render correctly into a custom HtmlTextWriter when it has a master page.

I've noticed a lot of talk about asp.net MVC lately, but I haven't come across a clear or compelling description of when, where or why I would want to use it over WebForms. Let's say I wanted to build a small web application that allows a person to advertise some items online. The website will have 4 use cases: Search adverts View l...
