Basically something that handles the low-level "plumbing" code for a subscription-based service. I see a lot of things dealing with basic membership, but nothing that handles the subscription aspect (recurring billing, automated jobs for setting up billing, notification for billing, etc). This might be the one thing that keeps me from ...

This may just be a yes or no type of question but here goes anyway...

I am looking at the MvcContrib Grid component and I'm fascinated, yet at the same time repulsed, by a syntactic trick used in the Grid syntax: .Attributes(style => "width:100%") The syntax above sets the style attribute of the generated HTML to width:100%. Now if you pay attention, 'style' is nowhere specified, is deduced from the na...
I've created a PartialView which I render with Html.RenderPartial, passing the name of the view and the strongly-typed data item to bind to (below): <% Html.RenderPartial("SearchViewUserControl", ViewData["SearchData"]); %> The partial view has a form containing a submit button: <% using (Html.BeginForm("Search", "Home")) { %>...
I'm using ASP.NET MVC and I'd like all user entered string fields to be trimmed before they're inserted into the database.

I don't see a benefit to having something like this: <ul if="products.Any()"> <li each="var p in products">${p.Name}</li> </ul> <else> <p>No pr...

I used to be pretty comfortable with using jquery for json, but I'm having an odd issue tonight that I just can't wrap my head around. JQuery sends the request, the server fills it properly, but then there's no way to pull the data out of the json response. The server's ASP.MVC and serializing using the JsonResult/Json(). I'm complete...
