I recently watched Jimmy Bogard's excellent MvcConf video ("put your controllers on a diet") http://www.viddler.com/explore/mvcconf/videos/1/ and have started to try and implement some custom action results. I've managed that without a problem, the ActionResult works fine at runtime but I'm...

We have a project that is starting to get large, and we need to start applying Unit Tests as we start to refactor. What is the best way to apply unit tests to a project that already exists? I'm (somewhat) used to doing it from the ground up, where I write the tests in conjunction with the first lines of code onward. I'm not sure how to s...

This code exists in a View: if (Model.Group.IsPremium && null != Model.Group.ContactInfo) { Html.RenderPartial("ContactInfo", Model.Group.ContactInfo); } at first glance, it's presentation logic and so it's ok. But it's not sitting well with me. The thing is, it's a business requirement to display con...

I asked this question earlier about business logic and presentation logic, and it got me thinking.. I think it's easier to spot questionable practice when looking at code in a View because I'm automatically suspicious when I see it. Usually it's ok because it's presentation logic, but I always tend to look closer. But I don't look as cl...
