Let me say I have a route/action for showing content pages like this: /Page/{slug} where {slug} can be anything that a visitor types in but if left empty it defaults to "Default". I have my route definition handle the case where {slug} is empty or Default or anything else, so that is setup fine. Now, what do you do in those cases wh...

I have ajax code for asp.net (non-mvc) to call to a webMethod to get additional data from the server for a request.

I want to format the title of my ValidationSummary using a string something like: "There are {0} errors on this page." How do I find out the number of errors without doing it in the controller and adding it to ViewData? ...
I have setup our project with Team City 5.0 for continuous Integration. It works fine, but I had to change our VS 2008 .csproject file to allow our views to get complied correctly. I have read the following guide. link text. It takes about 3 minutes to build on our desktop and with the CI server! I am looking for a way to speed up our bu...
Hi all, I've inherited the following code and i was wondering if i could pick at your brains to see if there's a nicer way to do duplicate this. Heres the html for most of our partial input views <% if (Html.IsInputReadOnly()) { %> <td> Id </td> <td> <%= Html.TextBox( "Id" , (Model == null ? null : Model.Id) , new { @read...
I'm currently testing my application and am stuck on trying to figure out how to create a custom fake URL referrer. I've tried to hard code it, but am getting an error that it is read-only. Here is what I've tried so far: fakeController.HttpContext.Request.UrlReferrer.AbsolutePath = "http://www.yahoo.com"; as well as, fakeControlle...
I was reading this blog post on ASP.NET MVC 2's new model validation and found it to be pretty cool. I see the value in keeping things DRY by adding a couple attributes to a class property and then automagically getting client and server side validation (as long as your controller checks for valid models). That said, imagine an ASP.NET...
It's a little unclear for me on when to use a custom helper method and when to use RenderAction and also when to simply use ViewData instead. Some of their functions overlap slightly. For example, if I were to create a Category navigation bar, would I create a new helper method and place that in some partial view? I had initially though...

Hi, I been building my first ASP.NET MVC application and so far am getting to grips quite well with it I think. Some of the concepts are still fuzzy (routing) but I have an idea. One of the things we do with our WebForms apps is to route navigation through an Application Controller [Fowler] to handle our page navigation based on the cu...

REQUIREMENTS User logs in to my.domain.com and sees a list of apps/tools that they have permission to use. The user selects the tool they'd like to use and clicks the link. When the tool opens, it is able to i...

Has anyone had to deal with multiple AntiForgeryTokens on a child view of a master page? The scenario I am thinking about is as follows: The view contains a Form with an AntiForgeryToken rendered as a hidden field. The view is contained by a master page that has another AJAX submitted form. The issue here is that I need to encapsula...
<%= Html.ActionLink(Html.Encode("user3"), "Filter", new { controller = "Search", userName = "user3", dateFrom = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-2).ToString(), dateTo = DateTime.Now.ToString() })%> It's evaluated to this link: http://localhost:60357/Search/Filter?userName=user3&dateFrom=08.02.2010%2023%3A21%3A33&dateTo=10.02...

I have products that people will search for by: part# manufacturer e.g. searches HND123 Honda 123 So basically each manufacturer has a short form and a long form. How should I build my search index so when the autocomplete needs to fetch the data from the db, it will return result...
Hello All, On a project I'm building for a client, one of the requirements is advanced user tracking. The client would like to know what pages an authenticated user is visiting, and when. I read through this post, which is probably the method I will go with. However, that seems a bit tolling on the database, and being that the client...
In my ASP.NET MVC2 application, I have a ViewModel class called UserCreateViewModel. In this class, there are a number of properties that directly map to a LINQ-to-SQL class, called User. I'm using AutoMapper to perform this mapping and it works fine. In my Create action of the UserController, I receive a partially complete UserCreateV...
