I am starting to dabble with ASP.Net MVC. One question I have is on best practices for protecting user data. For example in the scenario of Sales people, they should only be able to view their own data. e.g. SalesData/Edit/14 It is very easy to change the "14" to view other data which they may/or may not have access to. At this poi...
I have a table with each row row containing a task. I would like to have a column with links allowing the user to toggle the completed status of the task. As this is changing data, I only allow the change Action to be called from a Post. I.e. I have an ActionFilter of [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]. This in turn requires a form in each...
In spark when sending a view model to the view when a collection is empty is causing me some headaches like so: <input value="model.addresses[0].street" /> Where "model.addresses" may be empty and thus gives an NRE. Is there anyway to handle this other than populating the collections prior to rendering. This is a bit of a pain as it ...
Instead of: public ActionResult Index() { ViewData["foo"] = _repository.GetFoos().ToList(); ViewData["bar"] = new string[] { "blah" }; ViewData["baz"] = ""; return View(); } and then: public ActionResult Index(string baz) { // Do stuff... ViewData["foo"] = _repository.GetFoos().ToList(); ViewData["bar"] ...

Hi all, I'm just a beginner in ASP.NET technologies and a starter about C# though I've experiences over Apache and PHP. Now, I'm on a project that use ASP.NET MVC.

I'm developing an ASP .Net MVC application. One of my actions requires id as a parameter. For example: public actionresult Detail(Guid id){ return View(); } As you can see, I'm using Guid instead of Int. The issue is more cosmetic. The url can be very long, such as localhost/Detail/0c157b42-379d-41d5-b9ba-83e9df9985b2. Is it safe...

In stepping through the code I can see that the routes are register...

I am all in favour of reducing my tag soup and can see that the spark engine is neat, very neat and I for one would welcome it. However does anyone have an e...
Using AntiForgeryToken requires each request to pass a valid token, so malicious web pages with simple script posting data to my web application won't succeed. But what if a malicious script will first make some simple GET request (by Ajax) in order to download the page containing the antiforgery token in a hidden input field, extracts...
I have a base controller, is it possible to know what the calling controller was called? ...
I just wondered how people were approaching this situation. It's something that seems like a weak point in my usage of MVC with ORMs (NHibernate in this case)... Say you have a fine-grained and complicated entity in your model. You will likely have an admin page to manage objects of this type. If the entity is complicated, it is unli...

Hi, I've got an ASP.NET MVC application that is supposed to catch all unhandled exceptions within the global.asax application error handler. If I define the handler as follows: protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) then it works fine. However, if within the Application_Start event I try and do: this.Error +=n...
In my ASP.NET MVC CMS application I have a bunch of normal content display routes and some administration routes (for CRUD actions). I was thinking of building an admin menu with unordered list and list items HTML elements but I want to do it dynamically at runtime. So the app should enumerate all the routes and construct the menu using ...
