While a record is edited,how should be the ID stored ? I could have a textbox with enabled false, but I don't like this approach.

I was thinking about writing universal HtmlHelper for jQuery autocomplete wire up for ASP.NET MVC and I would like to know first if something like that already exists.

How long will an ASP.NET MVC application run

I wonder how long will an ASP.NET (MVC) application run, when no new requests come in? Lets say I'm using an IOC Container ans have a Singleton Object serving to the clients.

How to Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) with ASP.NET MVC?

I have been reading about Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS). I sort of wonder how would this work with ASP.NET MVC? I get the idea of CQRS conceptually it sounds nice and sure does introduce some complexities (event and messaging pattern) compared to the "normal/common" approach . Also the idea of CQRS sort of against the u...

Validation in asp.net MVC - validation only to happen when "asked"

I've got a slightly different validation requirement than the usual "when save, validate!". The system can allow someone to update a bunch of times without being "bothered" with a validation listing UNTIL they say it's complete. I thought I might be able to pull a fast one and put the [HandleError] on the method of which this would fir...

ASP.NET MVC and Strings doesn't give me compile time errors.

I'm a big fan of compilation errors. I find the a lot easier to fix than runtime bugs.

At the moment, this folder has an ignore route (routes.IgnoreRoute("Content/{*wildcard}");) and, I'd like that to remain, as I don't need/want most of my content folders to go into the MVC request lifecycle. Example: routes.MapRoute( "DynamicCSS", "Content/...

IVR vs Asp.net MVC: How can I stop reinventing the browser?

I'm making an IVR system for a project, and have decided on Twilio to handle the phone portion (making and receiving calls, sending and receiving SMS messages). This will surface a website with an IVR front-end, allowing users to navigate the site using their touch-tone phone. I'm not making all the content browse-able over the phone, j...
