The application has two faces to it a public facing side that serves dynamic data to visitors and non admins, and an admin side where admins can update or create the dynamic data to be ...
I'm writing a helper method for ASP.NET MVC and I need to call Url.Content to get an appropriate URL for the context. However, in order to create a new UrlHelper() I need to get the current RequestContext (System.Web.Routing.RequestContext to be precise) and I'm not sure how to grab it. Anyone know? ...

I'm running a bunch of apps on discountasp.net with the subdomain addon. Since with shared hosting I can't have multiple IIS sites, I've also written an HTTP module that allows sites in subfolders to operate as if they are running in the root directory. So for example, instead of hosting my blog at dandoes.net/blog, I can host it at blog...
Is it a good idea to share views between different controllers (using the Views/Shared folder)? I am creating my first MVC application and it requires some pieces of data that are similar to each other. They "explain" different things (and will therefore be stored in different tables) but they each have an Id, Name and Status. I can ther...

Microsoft released the source for Oxite, their blogging engine that's intended to help .NET developers learn ASP.NET MVC. They also released the source for the Mix site, which was built with Oxite. Microsoft says that developers can build applications with Oxite, since it has a lot of built-in features like trackbacks, pingbacks, and RS...
I have a web site running via IIS7 on Vista. The site is running on port 88, so http://localhost:88 should render the default /Home/Index view. This works correctly, as do all other views. However, one problem is resident. My script paths point to /Scripts/[FILE] and my CSS paths point to /Content/[FILE]. My assumption was that the /...
I'm using VS2008 Team Suite, ASP.NET MVC Beta, with TestDriven.Net installed. When I created my project from the template, it created a "Tests" project as well and put some controller tests for the AccountController in a folder inside this project.

Behind the scene, this goes to a controller (whose name is unknown) and to one of its actions. Let's say that this is controller=home and action=questions. How to prevent the user to type www.stackoverflow.com/home/questio...

At a certain point I check if a certain file they want to download exists by calling WebRequest req = HttpWebRequest.Create(checkUri.AbsoluteUri); WebResponse res = req.GetResponse(); Although I can access the checkUri...
I want to embed a link to a controller action in my page so I can use it from javascript. Something like var pollAction = '/Mycontroller/CheckStatus' Now I am happy to hardcode it, but it would be really nice if there were a method I could use to create the URL. The AjaxHelper/HtmlExtensions contain methods to create hyperlinks (.Acti...
