In my ASP.NET MVC 2 (RC) project - I'm using AutoMapper to map between a Linq to Sql class (Media) and a view model (MediaVM). The view model has a SelectList property for a drop down in the view. I have a custom value resolver to populate the SelectList property items from the db, but am wondering if there's a way to pass a couple value...
I know to use Html.ActionLink() to render textual <a href..."> links to actions. How do I render a link to an action that has an underlying image as the link? <a href="foo"><img src="asdfasdf"/></a> ...
I have Multiple ActionResults in my Controller. Almost all of them process either AjaxRequest and normal requests, dependending on the request (duh!). The point is, if I'm adding something to the database using an AjaxRequest, I just want to return a OK or ERROR (or 1 or 0, etc..) to my page instead of a View() or a ParcialView() because...
I have a custom exception filter that I'm using to catch a custom exception that I wrote but for some reason when I throw my exception, it's not ever getting to the filter. Instead I just get an error that my exception was not handled by user code. Can anyone please provide some advice/assistance as to how I should have this set up? R...
I have to program websites, but I rather don't like the static HTML nature. I prefer more of a client-server architecture. Now I've figured, that with XMLhttp, you can basically dynamically update your page and send/request for information/action to/from a server. So this would basically cover the client area. But to complete a client-...
Hi All, I am wondering if it is possible to wrap up an ascx file so that it can be used in different views, without having to type it to a specific Model. This would mean you could use one ascx file for many pages, as long as the relevant model data was passed in. Currently I'm duplicating my ascx files for different parts of the site...

"Programmatic Registration" is a similar functionality supported by ValidationAspects // regi...
I have a fairly complicated ViewModel associated with a product listing form, which has a lot of custom default values depending on the currently logged in user. I'm finding that populating it in my controller is quite a chore. So I'm thinking of creating a factory class for it, but I'm wondering where in the project structure it would...
The following examples are redirects wich we're trying. The first one, for user login, works, after that no redirect works. I have no idea about what may be the cause, tried redirecttoroute too, it is like if the server wasn't sending the headers or anything. I have no sniffing software to check this out. UrlHelper uH = new UrlHelper(ne...

After creating a proof of concept for an ASP.NET MVC site and making sure the appropriate separation of concerns were in place, I noticed that I was making a lot of expensive redundant database calls for information about the current user. Being historically a desktop and services person, my first thought was to cache the db results in ...

These dropdowns are filtered by selection with ajax...only show prov/state in selected country. What do you think about this idea...is it good...bad...neith...
Hi, Ok, let's assume we are working with ASP.NET MVC 2 (latest and greatest preview) and we want to create AJAX user interface with jQuery. So what are our real options here? Option 1 - Pass Json from the Controller to the view, and then the view submits Json back to the controller. This means (in the order given): User opens some Vi...
I have a page that has two parts that are slower loading. As they are already ASCXes, it would be trivial to render them asynchronously with jQuery. That would mean, obviously, that the content in question isn't pumped to the browser on the first trip, but rather 200ms or so behind it. Do the spiders evaluate the content that loads via...
