I have been working with visual studio 2010 Premium RTM for over a month. When I installed it I had a fresh install of windows. (No betas or previous versions of VS) I have been creating new ASP.NET MVC2 C# projects since I installed it. I went to create a new mvc project today and I don't have that as an option anymore. I went in unde...

I have a partial view that uses a Telerik MVC Grid, and it has column binding code as follows (very partial view): .Columns(column => { column.Bound(model => model.PlannedFinishDate).Title("Planned Date").Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}").Width(83); column.Bound(model => model.Province).Width(70); if (Roles.IsUserInRole("Controller")...
I want to detect certain browsers (IE6) and redirect them to a page that tells them to get a better browser. Same thing for detection of Javascript being enabled, if the browser has it disabled I want to send them to a page which explains this fact. Is there an elegant or preferred way to do this in mvc? ...
How do use reflection to determine whether a Controller of a given type is within a Area in an ASP.net MVC project? I am trying to write a new ControllerTypeResolver for an MvcSiteMap and need to work out if the type I am resolving exists within an Area in or not. ...

I have an ASP.NET MVC web app and have a function that I need to call when the page loads only once. Right now I have the function being called from a base controller OnActionExecuted. The issue I'm having is that this function is called multiple times - once for the page, and then multiple times for different ajax calls that I have on...
I have two "Code Only" POCO's using EF4 and the latest CTP, running against an existing, legacy database. Running a LINQ query against PocoA worked until I added a public virtual PocoB pocoB { get; set; } to PocoA. I was trying to add a relationship. Once I did that, I started getting the following error: Multiple object sets per typ...
The DataAnnotations validation happens in the default model binder and most of the examples I've seen uses the Model.IsValid in the Controller to verify if a model is valid or not. Since my controller action calls a business layer method and I like to validate the entity there: Do I have to explicitly switch off the model binder valida...
My view model has the property: public IEnumerable<string> Names { get; set; } My view displays that information using a simple markup that renders to: <div id="names"> <ul> <li>Name1<img src="/delete.png"/></li> <li>Name2<img src="/delete.png"/></li> <li>Name3<img src="/delete.png"/></li> </ul> </div>...
We have a somewhat complex and long-running action method for which we'd like to show a progress bar. The javascript grid that we're using requires that saving and loading data be done in a single request (save first then load), and also requires us saving data to session. Our initial thought was to just use an AsyncController, but the...

However, if there is no subdomain I want to match www and the root domain. So, if @url='http://website.com' it should match both 'http://website.com' and 'http://www.website.com' I'm currentl...
I have always stayed away from asp.net membership as it seemed bloated, and (at the time) untestable. In the case of asp.net MVC specifically, does anyone use an alternative solution for assigning roles to users, and storing some addition information for the logged in user? Any recommendation? Is it crazy to just roll your own, just impl...
Whilst the Gravatar service's API (well, it's really just a URL) is pretty straightforward, is there a simple helper method out there that does a good job of reflecting all the options available for Gravatar? Image size Default image (when user hasn't specified one) Rating (G/PG/R/X) Ideally this would be an HtmlHelper extension meth...

We have a mid-sized asp.net project that we just promoted from our dev server (Windows 2003) to an external test server (Windows 2008 R2). On the test server, IIS is not finding our home page, which is located in the views/home folder (404 error). As far as we can tell, the settings are the same on both servers. I've confirmed HTTP ...
I have a controller whose main function is to save data. The ajax call that saves this data needs to be executed quickly. What I want to do is get the POST in the controller and spin off a background thread that will do the actual work to save the data; this would allow me to do return view() instantly. So essentially the only lag it w...
