I have a MVC controller called Downloads. http://mysite/Downloads I also want to put a physical file in a physical folder called http://mysite/Downloads/MyFile.zip. If I simply create a folder, I get a 403 when browsing to http://mysite/Downloads. (Most likely because of directory browsing is disabled) But I want the MVC controller to ...

I have an existing database with a users table, and we are planning to take the database and use it for a new system built in ASP.NET MVC. However, what I am uncertain about is whether or not I am able to create a login system that doesn't use the built in account controller or a regular membership provider so that we can still use the e...
Please take careful consideration when reading this as I can see it getting easily confused. Our current system has a set of menu options which are divided into areas (it's the areas of our business, in the same way you'd have accounts, personnel etc.). Some of these areas have blurred edges, i.e. a page may belong to both accounts and...
Hi, stupid question here. I'm trying to create a helper method, something similar to the radio button list in the MVC futures project (as a learning tool). I'm trying to convert the C# code: public static string[] RadioButtonList(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string name, IDictionary<string, object> htmlAttributes) { to a method sign...

I am knee deep in starting a new ASP.NET MVC project. Several tutorials have recommended the use of MVC Contrib. I wanted to get the opinion of the Stack Overflow community if it fulfilled its promise of increasing productivity with ASP.NET MVC. Basically are the benefits of MVC Contrib worth adding another leaky abstraction to my applic...

I'm using an ActionFilterAttribute to do custom authentication logic. The Attribute will only be used on a derived Controller class that contains my authentication logic. Here's my Controller, derived from my custom controller class, and a sample attribute: public class MyController : CustomControllerBase { [CustomAuthorize(UserTy...
I've tried searching around but there isn't something that is a fairly concrete example of this, and my 'jQuery-Foo' Is rather poor. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: User is presented with a form in which they enter user data (first/last/address, etc). When it comes time to add a phone number, they need to be able to add as many...
When I have access to UrlHelper I can convert an ActionResult to a string (i.e. the actual URL) like this: urlHelper.RouteUrl(actionResult.GetRouteValueDictionary()); How can I do that same from a static method where I don't have access to UrlHelper? Thanks. ...
I have a website where I allow users to create new Part records. I'm trying to figure out the best way to validate specific fields for uniqueness. I want to make sure that somebody doesn't try to add a Part with PartNumber 1234 if that PartNumber already exists on a different Part. The Web Application is using Asp.net MVC with fluen...
Recently I've began experimenting with ASP.NET MVC and the Entity Framework. Since my hostingprovider only provides me with MySQL I've been trying to set that up. Locally everything works fine, but after I publish it I get the following error: [ProviderIncompatibleException: The store provider factory type 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlC...
I have an object that contains a collection of items, each item being another object. In ASP.NET MVC, I'm a little unclear about how to go about using databinding in my "Create" Views for this collection, since each object in it has to be created new. Any suggestions? Here is the schema. Units - UnitId Rings - RingId Keys - RingId (...

I keep getting errors trying to iterate through my ViewData in the view there... I even tried strongly typing the view to IEnumerable(App.Models.Namespace) and using Model, to no avail.

According to various articles (e.g. here and here) attribute results on ASP.NET MVC Actions may be cached and not executed again when a controller action is called. That behavior is not desired in my case (e.g. I have an authorization system based on my own attributes and IPs, role checks that need to execute every time, and other thing...
