On an ASP.NET MVC website, what's the best way to implement access logging? I want to answer the following questions: What are the most popular pages? Which pages were accessed in the last 24 hours? etc. I could log in to the server using Remote Desktop and poke through the IIS logs myself (even using Microsoft Logfile Parser), but I...
While trying to deploy a simple asp.net mvc project on an IIS 6 server, I keep getting this error "The provider requires SessionState to be enabled". To rule out that I am doing something wrong, I am now trying to deploy just the template you get when you start a new asp.net mvc solution in vs2008. And yes, I have enabled session state ...

Has anyone written any HTMLHelper classes for MVC that help with Yahoo's User Interface Library? For instance I have written a helper method to convert a 'menu model' into the HTML markup needed to support the Yahoo Menu Control. The MVC pattern works well here because obviously if I chose to switch to a different menu implementation I ...
Is there any way to use something like BlogEngine.NET (a blogging framework developed on the ASP.NET web forms model) in an ASP.NET MVC application? I want something where I can simply go to http://rooturl/blog and have it fire up the BlogEngine.NET site. I'm assuming that the ASP.NET MVC framework will intercept this call however and ...

However, I want to start working ASP.Net MVC; but the installer won't install the framework w/o admin rights.

Since there is no concept of sessions in ASP.Net MVC and each request is independent of each other would I ever make use of the Cache object to internally cache data in order to minimize db access? The output caching functionality is great for caching view data but if I wanted to cache something like a user profile which should be shared...
Im trying to change images on click similar to what SO does with the vote arrows and checkmark. Im thinking either to : 1- Have each image be an Ajax.ActionLink and return a different image when clicked. 2- Have the images be the background of a Hyperlink and use Ajax.ActionLink to replace the css class to get a new image. 3- Use JQ...
Despite this being one of the best error messages I've ever seen (second only to, "This operation could destabilize the rent in the space-time continuum"), it's also one of the most frustrating. I have developed an ASP.NET MVC site which works perfectly through VS2008. It works perfectly hosted on a local IIS7 server (Win2008Server & W...
Hi, This is probably a really simple question but... I would like to do a Google image search (performed by Javascript as there is no other supported option right?) and resize the images on the server-side. My first thought was to have the Javascript generate links like this: http://example.com/Resize.mvc/(link) However, there ...

I haven't actually tried this yet and was hoping for a quick yes or no answer. I am just learning about using JSonResult from a helpful stackoverflow question. What I was wondering was can I use this kind of an actionresult, but still take advantage of the validation provided by the MVC model? If I'm returning a Json result and theres...
The JsonResult class is a very useful way to return Json as an action to the client via AJAX. public JsonResult JoinMailingList(string txtEmail) { // ... return new JsonResult() { Data = new { foo = "123", success = true } }; } However (at least according to my first impression) this really isn...
