I was working on an ASP.NET MVC template today, and after staring at all those fluorescent yellow % tags for long enough, I basically decided I had had enough, so I painstakingly modified my ascx file to look like this: <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %> <% if (Model == null) { ...
I need to customize the validation message style. The way I am approaching this is to wrap the ValidationSummary helper with a styled div. The problem I have is that the div is visible even when there is no error on the page. Is there a way to determine if the ModelState has an error inside the view? Or should I approach this problem som...

I'm working on an ASP.Net MVC project and have been learning a few little tricks with JSON objects that made me scratch my head for quite a while. For example, ensuring that when I call $.getJSON() from jQuery, I actually need to make sure my JSON is returning an object, not just a string value (well, D'uh! right?). What are some of th...
Hi there, Got a slightly odd one here. We have an MVC site that is experiencing some instability. Once a week for the last couple of weeks the site has gone down. We have found that all we need to do to bring the site back up again is 'touch' the web config file (i.e. open it and save it, with no changes). This brings the site back ...
We are building an ASP.NET MVC application which will be deployed behind a hardware load balancer that supports, among other things, caching. Our proposal is to manually define which URL patterns should be cached by the load balancer. This will be quite an easy process for us as we have 'catalogue' pages which are relatively static, the...

I want to use Data Annotations to validate DateTime fields, but I'm running into problems. According to documentation on MSDN, the following should do the job [Range(typeof(DateTime), "1/2/2004", "3/4/2004", ErrorMessage = "Value for {0} must be between {1} and {2}")] However, this marks any date I enter as invalid!
