It seems all the examples I come across specifiy an UpdateTargetId to render out the HTML content of the Ajax response. This is quite a bit different than how it's done in the Rails world, where the response content contains JavaScript code which manipulates the page. The Rails convention seems more powerful. What's the recommended usag...
In the MVC model, where does the responsibility of loading the view model lie? Should the Controller load the data? Should the View Model itself load the data ala: MyViewModel viewModel = MyViewModel.Create(someValue); Should a Service Layer load it ala: MyViewModel viewModel = MembershipService.Instance.Load(someValue); ...

Visitors only need to specify an alias to post, and can optionally provide an e-mail address and a website url. What's the best practice in handling posts by unregistered users in a database? I'm a bit of a newb...
I want to insert some script that is required for my JavaScript library in all view pages. I know that Asp.net MVC is built on Asp.net Framework. Therefore, I can override many methods in “System.Web.UI.Page” class that is a parent of “System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage” class. Nevertheless, I can do it by override Render method but it makes all ...
I am using AjaxSubmit to post a form and there are server side validations done using XVal (RuleException way). I am not using the try/catch way to add error to Model and then send to view.

We'd like to use the ASP.Net MVC Framework to extend (and gradually convert) an existing ASP.Net Webforms application which we've "inherited". I know that we can add MVC into a Webforms project, but the existing project is written in VB.Net and we would much prefer to use C# going forward. Our ideal solution is to be able to add Contro...

The one option is to do this every time the user changes some data. However, this seems a bit inefficient - writing the data out to disk each time a change is made. Instead,...
I'm surprised I can't find more discussions out there about an issue that is really bothering me on our project using ASP.NET MVC. How can you deal with a Visual Studio solution that has multiple projects? The MVC framework has the Models/Views/Controllers folder in the main project. But what if you want to break up your solution into ...

The deployment is done through the Build->Publish option in the VS2008 menu. I had als...
I was just watching Scott Hanselman's presentation on ASP.NET MVC in San Francisco. After thinking about it for a while, I was stumped as to how to best approach building an ASP.NET MVC-based site that has a [portal|modular|multi-view] structure (pick your favorite definition). To give you an idea of what I'm after, my company builds a ...
Hey guys, I have a partial view that is shared between two controllers and I'm trying to find a way to change what it inherits from depending on which view it is being called from or which controller. IE: my current partial is started like so: <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<MVCProject.Controllers.P...
