Is it possible to post a form from one MVC site so that it invokes the POST action in a controller on another site ? I can do a GET easily, but a browser redirect is always a GET as per my understanding and I am unable to invoke the target site's POST action. e.g. http:/siteA.com/test invokes http://siteB.com/result/signin ... in the Re...
I am trying to add a database to the App_Data location in an ASP.NET MVC 2 application in Visual Studio 2008 (VS). I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition installed on the local machine. However when adding the database VS complains that SQL Server 2005 Express is required. I configured VS to use the local server instance (MSSQLSERVER)...
Recently I've read, and implemented 80% of examples from Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework, and it seems like the authors have only given the basics. After reading this I did become able to build web applications using ASP.NET MVC. But that's just basic applications. What I found most confusing is that at the beginning the authors emphasized on...
Could some one please explain the advantages and disadvantages of using the new MVC2 Areas feature? I don't understand what is so great about them. If I am adding an admin area to my MVC application why not create a new Admin folder in the main Views and Controllers folder? What does creating an area really get me? I fail to see much ...
I have an action that depends on a list of integers. My first instinct was to simply declare the action with a List. I tried declaring the action in the controller as: public ActionResult EditMultiple(List<int> ids) and in my View call like so: <%= Html.ActionLink("EditMultiple", "EditMultiple", new { ids = new List<int> {2, 2, 2} ...

I've noticed a pattern that can make refactoring MVC2 apps difficult. When you change the name of an argument for an action you must update the values everywhere that action is used. For example, public ActionResult List(string p) in the view <%= Html.ActionLink("List", "Directory", new { p = "somePath" }, null) %> What if I want t...
I have an application that has an public 'end user' mode and a 'back office' mode.

Rather than throw a 500, I just want to grab the error mes...
I have some data that I want to pass into the View (.aspx page) in JSON format. I could add an async ajax call and load it that way, but since I have the data upfront, why not just dump it into the view. I could pass a C# object as the model and in Javascript manually iterate through it to fill out a Javascript object, but this seems l...
