Hi I’ve taken over an ASP.NET MVC project from a colleague. I have only a rudimentary knowledge of both ASP.NET MVC and unit testing. I’m trying to get off on the right foot by creating unit tests. I thought I’d start with testing a controller. Unfortunately I stumbled at the first hurdle! The controller in question has the Authorize ...
Hello. I've got a search form that I want to use short query string parameters for (e.g. ?q=value&s=whatever&c=blah) and I'd like to use MVC model binding to get those parameters into my controller action. I can create a type that mirrors these short names, but I'd rather have a type that has more sensible names (e.g. q = Query, s = Sor...
I guess the title says it all. I want to do this web application I am creating in the best possible way. All the unit testing examples I have come across are for contollers only. I understand the views would be quite hard to test and perhaps the model layer would need something like DBUNit. What are your thoughts? ...

Several of my controller actions have a standard set of failure-handling behavior. In general, I want to: Load an object based on the Route Data (IDs and the like) If the Route Data does not point to a valid object (ex: through URL hacking) then inform the user of the problem and return an HTTP 404 Not Found Validate that the current...

I'm at a point where I'm really confused about how to go about handling security in my ASP .NET MVC application. Here's what I know I want to do: 1) I want my own schema layout so I can implement security how I want it and not be tied to Microsoft's default db schema (which I've seen next to no support for on other dbms's). 2) This is ...
Basically, i don't want to use <input type="submit"> mainly because it's a button, i'd rather user ActionLink, so i am using Ajax.ActionLink, and i'm not sure what to place in the routeValues argument for it to pickup the new (edited) data (user enters comments etc) and send it to my action. would any of you know? thanks. this is what i...
The reason seems simple enough: model binding (and therefore validation) happens before the earliest ActionFilter method (OnActionExecuting) is executed, therefore changing UICulture has no affect on validation messages. Is there an earlier integration point (besides an IHttpModule) that I could use here? I'd rather an Attribute-based ...

How can i unit test the view of an ASP MVC application? I have tried the mvc contrib test helper... _controller.Index().AssertViewRendered(); but this doesn't actually test the view. for example i can happily insert some bogus code in the view, and get the dreaded yellow screen of death, without my unit test ever knowing about it. ...
I am trying to develop a website with C# ASP.net MVC. It's my first time using Visual Studio, C# and ASP.net so I have lots to learn but so far so good. So far... I started a C# ASP.net MVC project and added a database by going to the Database Explorer and clicking "add connection". I then did some standard CRUD controllers and views. I...

Hi folks, i've got an action method like the following public JsonResult Index(string version) { .. do stuff, return some data v1 or v2. Default = v2. } So, this action method returns some data, which can be formatted either as Version 1 or Version 2 (whatever output that is ... just know that they are schemantically different). ...
What's the difference in ASP.NET MVC of RedirectToRoute and RedirectToAction? It's not clear what the difference is to me. ...
I have this annoying mistake in some of my builds. There is no error in the project, because if I build again, then the problem disappears. The message only appears, when the site is deployed to a Windows 2008 Server. I first thought that it might be an issue with temporary files, but thats not the case. I deployed the build to a di...
Hi everyone, I'm just starting a new project on ASP.NET MVC and this will be the first project actually using this technology. As I created my new project with Visual Studio 2010, it created to my sql server a bunch of tables with "aspnet_" prefix. Part of them deal with the built-in user accounts and permission support. Now, I want t...
So my question is more in relation to what people consider to be the best practice and why: I've been dropping literals into pages and repeaters and binding them in code behind for a while. Is this considered bad practice? ie: ASPX Page: <asp: Literal id="litTextToInsert" runat="Server" /> Code Behind: litTextToInsert.Text = objDat...
