Hello, I have an application that have EF 16 classes that share this information: They all are classes only with a key field and a description. I think it should be a waste if I make a controller with just 1 method just to present a form to fill these classes info, then I was thinking in to make a generic form(with key, description) and ...
We have an internal ASP.NET MVC application that requires a logon. Log on works great and does what's expected. We have a session expiration of 15 minutes. After sitting on a single page for that period of time, the user has lost the session. If they attempt to refresh the current page or browse to another, they will get a log on page. W...

Publishing my entire application to a server in the U.S. every time I change a single line of code is taking FOREVER. I'm running VisualSVN server on my production server.

I have a PhoneNumber class that stores a normalized string, and I've defined implicit operators for string <-> Phone to simplify treatment of the PhoneNumber as a string.

Hi all I've see a lot of MVC examples where domain-objects are passed directly to views, this will work fine if your view is simple. The common alternative is to have a view-model which has all the same properties as your domain-model + any extra properties your view may need (such as 'confirmPassword').

View models on the other hand are classes that contain domain model objects as well as all the interface specific objects like SelectList. A ViewModel includes using Sy...
