I'm using the JQuery Form plugin to do a file upload on an ASP.NET MVC application. I've learned that since an iframe is used for file uploads (rather than XMLHttpRequest, which isn't possible), the server-side check for IsAjaxRequest fails. I've seen a few posts related to this question but haven't come across any good solutions to wo...

url : /jobs/UpdateJobResults/GUIDHERE When I do a post to the below function the guid id is always blank, can I use the above format to POST the GUID in the url (as the form body has the results dictionary) ?

I have been given an app written by someone else and the error I get when I try to just launch the thing and the first look at it is: "There is no source code available for the current location." I could care less about the source code to ASP.NET MVC. How do I tell my project to show me the location where it is breaking in "my" co...
Greetings, everyone. I consider myself to be an intermediate developer, but, to be candid, probably closer to novice than expert. In any case, I have more experience with C# and the .NET platform, but my current job has me working almost exclusively with Java. This in itself is sort of a problem, but I'm dealing with it fine and I'm not...
Hi everybody! In my ongoing web project i encountered a problem regarding redirection. The scenario is this: a) user logs on. b) the count of records in a specific table determines if the user will be redirected to a specific controller/action c) user arrives in that particular controller/action and does something here d) (after ha...
What patterns are people using to display status messages and error messages to users in Asp.Net MVC? I currently use ModelState.AddModelError for problems with adding / editing / updating objects but what about after that? Say a status message's to let them know their action ran correctly? Was thinking about using TempData since alo...
I'm currently going through the ASP.NET MVC NerdDinner tutorial and am having a problem with a particular helper method related to user authorization. The idea is that only users who "own" a particular dinner should be able to edit or delete it (based on the Dinner object's HostedBy property). I have the following method in my Dinner ob...
I've had problems trying to send JSON to ASP.NET MVC Controllers. I don't want to accept one string parameter on each controller method and deserialize manually. I have found that constructing a collection of post variables works reliably, but I don't have a generalized function to do so. I can write one myself if no one has done it a...
While looking into forms authorizing/authentication, I found that it is possible to do role based authorizing by adding an array of roles to a FormsAuthenticationTicket. That way I can write User.IsInRole(role from database) But is there any way to do the same thing with permissions on a role like : if (User.IsInRole(role from datab...

I've been trying, and failing, to get VS.NET 2008 to profile an ASP.NET MVC application. When I try and start a profiling session I get a generic server 500 error from VS.NET: The web site could not be configured correctly; getting ASP.NET process information failed. Requesting 'http://localhost:4750/foo/VSEnterpriseHelper.axd' returned...
I'd rather be doing MVC as the regular WebForms development eats my soul. However, I've been given a fairly sizable WebForms project to add a bunch of features to. Is there anyway for WebForms and ASP.NET MVC to coexist in single project or even jointly handle the website? I know I am asking for a hack. ...
When trying to apply [RequireHttps] to AccountController.Logon in ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 I get the following error : ASP.NET detected invalid characters in the URL. This is because ASP.NET has rewritten my request from http://example.com/admin to https://example.com/account/logon%3FReturnUrl=/admin It is ASP.NET itself that ha...

Ok, I'm very new to MVC so bear with me if I'm asking a ludicrously straightforward question. I'm trying to develop a project in MVC where certain controls on the view will keep state but are not actually part of the model. I want to display Asp.net Charts and xslt grids on a page based on the content of various dropdowns. The data for t...
Hello there, I'm having some issues trying to retrieve unique values from a DataSet in csharp, is that possible? Actually I'm doing something like this that gets a dataset from a webservice: webService.getInstructions(Username, Password, AppKey).Tables[0].Select(null, "account name asc"); So in this case I get a alphabetical list f...
Hi, I have always been faking/mocking/stubbing HttpContext somehow in ASP.NET (much easier in ASP.NET MVC/MonoRail). But I can see that HttpContext itself can be constructed easily, literally with couple of lines of code. var tw = new StringWriter(); var workerReq = new SimpleWorkerRequest("/webapp", @"c:\here\there\wwwroot", "pag...
