Like many others on this site I am considering a move to ASP.NET MVC for future projects. Currently my sites are running the traditional ASP.NET 2.0 Web Forms, and it works Ok for us, so my other option is just to stick with what I know and make the move to ASP.NET 3.5 with the integrated AJAX stuff. I'm wondering about how user contro...
Which way do you prefer to create your forms in MVC? <% Html.Form() { %> <% } %> Or <form action="<%= Url.Action("ManageImage", "UserAccount") %>" method="post"> </form> I understand that Html.Form() as of PR5 now just uses the URL provided by the request. However something about that doesn't sit well with me, especially since I w...
I know you can use several different view engines with ASP.NET MVC: ASPX, obviously NVelocity Brail NHaml et al... The default ASPX view engine seems to make the most sense to me, coming from an ASP.NET WebForms background. But, I wanted to get an idea of the pros and cons of each and see what most people are using. Which does S...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some examples or samples of routing for the following sort of scenario: The general example of doing things is: {controller}/{action}/{id} So in the scenario of doing a product search for a store you'd have: public class ProductsController: Controller { public ActionResult Search(string id) // id being t...
I need a good understanding of the inner workings of System.Web.Routing. Usually we define the RoutesTable. But how does it do the routing? The reason I'm asking it is that I want to pass the routing to subapps. What I want to see working is a way of passing the current request to mvc apps that work in other AppDomains. Just to make it ...
I'm more a Java developer than a .Net guy but It seems to me that new Microsoft MVC's framework seems like typical combination of Java existing projects like : Struts (for handling the MVC), Hibernate (for object to SQL mapping, like LINQ), and URL rewriting to handle pretty URLs (that's less common). Also, It seems to me very simila...

I've heard Jeff Atwood, Joel Spolsky, and many other legendary people talk about how the ASP.NET Web Forms model sucks (so this question is kind of directed to them, hopefully Jeff is reading). Now, I highly respect their opinion, given their background and expertise, but truth be told, I absolutely LOVE Web Forms. I think the model is ...

As a classic ASP developer about once a year since ASP.NET came out I decide I really gotta buckle down and learn this fancy new ASP.NET. A few days in and messing with code behinds and webforms and all this other stuff I decide the new fancy stuff is whack and go find something else to learn (PHP and Ruby and Python were all fun to pla...

Not entirely sure what's going on here; any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to create a new .NET MVC web app. I was pretty sure I had it set up correctly, but I'm getting the following error: The type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage' is ambiguous: it could come from assembly 'C:\MyProject\bin\System.Web.Mvc.DLL' or from assembly 'C:\M...

There are many ASP.MVC blog post bits and pieces scattered over different web sites, as well as couple of resource questions here - ASP.NET Model-view-controller (MVC) - where do I start from? and MVC Learning Resources I wonder if there was a one-stop tutorial posted yet on getting started with ASP.NET MVC? Thank you! Edit: I probabl...
I have recently been doing a bit of investigation into the different types of Model View architectures, and need to decide which one to pursue for future in-house development. As I'm currently working in a Microsoft shop that has ASP.NET skills, it seems my options are between ASP.NET MVC and WCSF (Monorail is probably out of the as it w...
