During the performance testing of our ASP.NET MVC application I discovered interesting bottle neck. The application is using only 3 managed threads. I checked maximum thread pool size. It's 200 and we are having 197 available threads. I checked connection limit of web site and it's unlimited. I tried to run stress test locally agains...
I'm looking to create a custom authentication model for my MVC app but I'm not sure where to implement my custom IPrincipal and IIdentity classes. I don't want to do this in the Global.asax on every request as not all the pages in the site will need authentication. So my question is where? Should I be doing this in my custom action filte...
This is my first MVC/Linq to SQL Application. I'm using the out of the box SQL Membership with ASP.NET to track users through my system. As most of you know, the UserId is a guid, great. However, to link other user-created tables in the system, I decided to go with username instead of userid. The reason I did this was because: Use...
I am POSTing data to an MVC controller and I'm attempting to maintain state as well for optimistic concurrency. I'm currently posting back a JSON request, but would be open to workable alternatives? I am already posting a name/value collection with the following command: $.ajax({ url: g_appPath + "/Rounding.aspx/Round/" + $("#Offe...

Hi There I am building a very simple asp.net MVC file upload form. Currently I have a problem creating the new database object that stores info on said file. The code for the action method looks as follows: [Authorize(Roles = "Admin")] public ActionResult AddFile(Guid? id) { var org = organisationRepository.GetOrganisa...
Someone has asked me to look at their code to do a few little changes to the processing, but before I can get anywhere, I can't even run up the main page. It seems to be MVC, seems to have the right routes etc. It defaults to a ~/home from default.aspx and there seems to be a route in place, but I get a 404. I've tried changing the rout...
I use a foreach in my View to loop over my strongly-typed Model and display a table. With only 25 rows and 7 columns, it takes about 280 msec. This seems slow. Is there some performance trick I should know for using loops in Views? EDIT: My Controller takes data from an Azure Table and feeds it to a View using a ViewModel pattern. I...
I'm rendering a drop down where the text rendered in the drop down is too long for comfort. How can I go about limit the number of characters that display in the dropdown without having to go back to the controller? <option value="<%=order.ID %>"><%=order.Item %></option> thx ...
My problem is that I am trying to return a simple query that contains an object Story. The Story object has a UserId in the table which links to aspnet_users' UserId column. I have created a partial class for Story that adds the UserName property since it does not exist in the table itself. The following query gets all stories; howeve...

I am trying to use Telerik MVC extension with jQGrid in a ASP.NET MVC application. But I found they cannot nicely play each other, meaning I cannot have them working together in one View. No sure why? I guess it is because the place for js files. JqGrid needs to put the js library in Head, but Telerik requires before end of Body tag, bas...
I cannot use Google analytics because of their limitations on the API. They will not allow me to query more then 10,000 entries in one day. Since I have more then 10,000 pages Google Analytics will not work for me unless there is a way around that 10,000 limitation. I need to pull statistics on all my pages daily and it will be over 10,0...
I need the text of a link wrapped with <span> as in: <a href="/foo.html"><span>Edit Group</span></a> Can I do that with Html.ActionLink? This doesn't work: <%=Html.ActionLink("<span>Edit Group</span>", "Edit", New With {.id = "bar"})%> It just HTML encodes the < and > as < and >. Is there a simple solution, or should I buil...
In ASP.NET WebForms you can reference appSettings directly in your markup with this syntax: <%$ MySettingKey %> Unfortunately this does not work in ASP.NET MVC because, as MSDN points out, this syntax only works in server controls. I've run into a few situations where I would love to use this syntactic sugar in an ASP.NET MVC view (W...
I'm using NerdDinner as a guide for my first MVC/LINQ to SQL project. It discusses the use of the ViewModel pattern when a View needs data from multiple sources - in their example: Dinners and Countries (serves as the drop down list). In my application, the problem is a bit different. It's not so much different data, rather data linke...
