Being comfortable with using html, I find it easier to just use regular html in my views, for example, creating a textbox with <input type="text" maxlength="30" name="firstname"> instead of <%= html.textbox("firstname") %>. Or <form method="post" name="myform"> instead of <% html.beginform() { %>. Is this considered bad practise ? Shoul...
In RC1 the behavior of the template for creating a view changed. As explained by Scott Gu's post about the release candidate a newly created aspx view doesn't have a code-behind file by default anymore. Based on feedback we’ve changed view-templates to not have a code-behind file by default. This change helps reinforce the pu...

Especially when using masterpages and tryin to just get the data to the masterpage without bypassing the controller. This question started off by me asking a lot of little questions, but then I managed to mould it into a solution which as yet I have not i...
I had no problems using NHaml with ASP.NET MVC Beta, but when upgrading to ASP.NET MVC RC I am getting a suspicious error Method 'FindPartialView' in type 'MvcContrib.NHamlViewEngine.NHamlViewFactory' from assembly 'MvcContrib.NHamlViewEngine, Version=0.0.1.175, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation. ...

Especially how one would set the AccountId from an MVC controller all the way through to the repository where it's saved. Thanks! --- Sa...
I'd like to have a routing rule that accepted part of my domain name as a parameter. For example: {name}.mydomain.com/photos/{id} Is this even possible? ...
I am looking for some open source blogging engine build on ASP.NET MVC. Is there any production ready projects available? Note from svinto: I want this as well, but rather something that plugs in to any asp.net mvc site, using any DI/IoC or ORM. - Instead of creating a new similar question, I'm using this one. These are the blogging e...

I've got an issue with MVC routing(or at least I think it's w/routing :) )... Just upgraded to MVC RC1, but I'm not sure that it's related as this is my first attempt at setting a MapRoute and corresponding RouteLink. here's the route: routes.MapRoute("Test1", "Forecast/CurrentLineItems/{propertyID}/{forecastYear}/{for...

I would like to increase the httpruntime executionTimeout for a subsection of an ASP.NET MVC application. In a regular Web App, you could use <configuration> <location path="UploadPage.aspx"> <httpRuntime executionTimeout="600"/> </location> </configuration> however there really is not the idea of "Folders" in ASP.NET MVC, so how wo...

I like the new Add View dialog that was released with RC1. If you specify a view data class, it generates a scaffolded view for you. It seems to work fine with classes defined in projects within my solution. Some of my domain classes inherit from a base class that is defined in an external assembly (and referenced in my web project). ...
