Hi, I'm working on a ASP.NET MVC 2 web application that lets users edit parameters on a simulation and launch it. Once a user starts editing a specific simulation, it must be inaccessible to other users. Is there an easy way to achieve that goal in ASP.NET MVC? My first idea was to put the logged on user's identity in the Application ...

I do not want "$100" or "Twenty Dollars" to be sent to the database as it will likely complain. I want to add an error to the model and send it back to the user. Seemed simple ;). I am using a cus...
