I'm interested in performing some output caching on dynamically-generated images, and would like to vary the output cache using at least to paramaters (let's call them 'id' and 'size' for argument's sake). So, for example: /Image/User...
I'm trying to use Maarten Balliauw's Domain Route class to map sub-domains to the areas in an MVC2 app so that I have URLs like: http://admin.mydomain.com/home/index instead of: http://mydomain.com/admin/home/index So far, I've only had partial success.

Staff have access to all projects, can add and delete them, add and delete users, assign clients permission to projects, etc. As it stands this means I have a UserController and ProjectController,...

Although it is said that Webforms and MVC are treated equal I am in doubt. Most new stuff seems to be happening around MVC. It's not about technical aspects, more a personal question. So what to do? Keep with Webforms and set focus on Sharepoint (still Webforms)? Keep with Webforms and simply trust Microsoft and the future of Webform...

I was recently introduced to the HTMLhelper class....along with MVC in general. Does MVC, or the HtmlHelper class give any alternates for image links...and static links? For example, if I want to display an image on a webpage, do I still have to do the traditional href tag? I.e. <img src='/Content/Images/mypic.jpg' /> or is there...
