We have an ASP.Net MVC project that will start with a single web server but will likely soon scale into a small web farm. As ASP.Net Authentication stores a UserID, and data caching may also be useful, we will likely need to make the jump to state server fairly soon. I'd like to hear from others how State Server has been to work with...
I wish to compile my asp.net MVC application using aspnet_compiler.exe from the comandline to speed up cold startup. I'm wondering how it determines if it should do a release or debug build.

Hi All, Here's an excerpt from a book I'm reading about application design with MVC: Ideally, the view is so simple and logic-free as to need virtually no testing. Users (and developers before users) can reasonably test the view by simply looking at the pixels on the screen. Anything else beyond pure graphical renderin...

Hi, Scott Hanselman's latest blog entry about the new VS 2010 features mentions "the new <%: %> encoding syntax". What does it do? Searching for these tags with google doesn't seem to be possible... Thanks, Adrian ...

I have a web app that currently is inserting x (between 1 + 40) records into a table that contains about 5 fields, via a linq-2-sql-stored procedure in a loop. Would it be better to manually write the SQL Inserts to say a string builder and run them against the database when the loops completed rather than 30 transactions? or should I j...

The state of the week will be saved as a 'varbinary' with a length of 168 which will represent every hour of everyday of a week. The database only needs to store the value of one week as the times unavailable to work wil...

I'm using xval to use client side validation in my asp.net mvc2 web-application. Despite the errors it's giving when I enter text in a numeric field, it still tries to post the form to the database.
