In the app I am working on, I want to allow the user to upload static HTML pages to replace the default "user profile" MVC View page. Is this possible? That is, the user uploaded html pages will totally run out of MVC, and it can include its own CSS links, etc. Ideas? Suggestions? ...
I get the above error whenever I try and use ActionLink ? I've only just started playing around with MVC and don't really understand what it's problem is with the code (below): <%= Html.ActionLink("Lists", "Index", "Lists"); %> This just seems to be a parsing issue but it only happens when I run the page. The application builds perfec...
Perhaps this is a naive question. In my understanding, ASP.NET cannot work with ViewState and Postback which is fundamentals of ASP.NET forms. Is that correct? If that's it, then all ASP.NET Web Controls depending on ViewState & Postback cannot be used in ASP.NET MVC, right? ...
Can someone explain to or link to an article that explains how the parameters passed into the action of a controller are populated? I understand the basic mapping when you have the Controller/Action/ID and the ID is passed in as a variable, if it doesn't convert to the type that you are asking for then it won't be passed in to that actio...
I'm working with a ASP.NET MVC solution in a test driven manner and I want to login a user to my application using forms authentication. The code I would like to end up with in the controller looks something like this: FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, false); My question is how do I write a test to justify this code? Is th...

Assume I have an ASP.NET MVC app that's not doing anything too fancy (no P/Invoke, no unsafe, etc). I've considered the idea of running on Mono to support Linux, among other platforms. I haven't used Mono in a long time. What are the top issues I'm likely to face? ...
I browsed around here on Stackoverflow and found this topic : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/279/aspnet-visual-studio-and-subversion-how-to-integrate However that didn't help me in my case, or i might just be a little stupid. So to my problem! Installed VisualSVN on a Server far far away and while this works perfectly, i can add m...
I am interested in learning MVC, and have experimented with a couple of the sample apps. As a project, I'd like to move part or all of my own office app to MVC. An important part of this app, and of ALL of my apps for customers, is the printing of invoices, purchase orders, inventory lists and so forth. In fact, one of their main crite...
I'm currently using the ModelStateDictionary in asp.net mvc to hold validation errors and pass then back to the user. Being able to check if the whole model is valid with ModelState.IsValid is particularly. However, a current application I'm working on has a need to be able to report warnings. These aren't as critical so the form content...
Hi, I'm trying to get my head around MVC + AJAX etc. One of the things I like about coding "old skool" (web forms) is the AJAX Control Toolkit. I saw on the Microsoft Storefront video 14, Rob Conery uses the TextboxWatermark control. When I downloaded the code though, I couldn't find any reference to the Watermark control or any othe...
I'm new to ASP.NET MVC and all tutorials, samples, and the like I seem to find are very basic. Is it possible (and if yes, a good design) to have routes like so: .../Organization/10/User/5/Edit .../Organization/10/User/List In other words; can the urls mirror your domain model? ...
Hi - i'm looking at some pages, and i've noticed that by default for ID in the routing for controller/action/ID is an integer and not a string. How can I change it so it is a string? ...

How do I post a form to an external site using an ASP.NET MVC controller? EDIT: Ok... I have a view with some data on it. After the user completes the form I need to do a postback with a specified form format to an external site (like for paypal). After I posted the constructed form I need to redirect the action to a new view ...

We are about to develop a web app from scratch using ASP.Net, and would like it to be as platform-agnostic as possible. As far as I know, the only two options for this are IIS on windows, and Mono (via Apache) on Linux. The app will be follow the MVC architecture, so with all of this in mind, how difficult is it to develop the applicati...
Hi, Does anyone know how I could go about doing something like : Html.ActionLink(c => c.SomeAction(new MessageObject { Id = 1 } )) This should output a link with the url of "/Controller/SomeAction/1", pointing at an ActionMethod along the lines of: public Controller : Controller { public ActionResult SomeMethod(MessageObject messag...

For example, I have view that's bound to a product class and i have a partial that also is strongly typed to that same model, but I also need to pass an additional parameter for imageSize to my partia...
