Right now I'm working my way thru the SportsStore exercise of Sanderson's "Pro ASP.Net MVC 2 Framework" book (page 107) and the exercise has me implementing a Repository pattern backed by a DB store using LINQ-to-SQL. I'm trying to figure out how to implement this same repository with the Subsonic ORM. The basic repository code is as fo...
I have an MVC 2 app that has a System.Timers.Timer object starting up during Application_Start in global.asax. One of the things this timer needs to do is generate a daily e-mail to users when they have an item to review in their work queue. Inside the e-mail is a link back to the item to review. In code I have running in various cont...

Consider the following code that I'm using when displaying a Customer's mailing address inside a table in a view: <%: Customer.MailingAddress == null ? "" : Customer.MailingAddress.City %> I find myself using a fair amount of these ternary conditional statements and I am wondering if there is a way to refer back to the object being ev...
I've been asked to support an autotext functionality on our web application, similar to what Word offers. At the core this is simple automatic text search-and-replace as someone types, but there are lots of things that would be nice (backspace to undo the replacement, a pop-up that requires a tab or enter to insert the replacement, etc....
My controller is decorated with [HandleError] and [HandleError(ExceptionType=typeof(CustomException), View="CustomView")].

I have a RESTful web service built on the MVC framework (ala Aaron Skonnard) where methods may return > 4MB of XHTML. I don't want to bump up against the 4MB ASPBufferLimit, and so I'm planning to use the Controller.File() method as shown below -- note the "text/html" trick. In the past, I've written a loop to pump large streams out us...
I have an ASP.NET MVC Form, but the data from it needs to be posted via jQuery (not ajax). It cannot be submitted using the normal model, because the Controller Action requires a JSON string, and the only way to get that string is to use jQuery's $.post method to turn the data into JSON, and then post it to the Controller. This works fi...
I've got a WCF service (lets say TestService.svc sitting inside the services directory of an Area in an MVC app. This area is combined into the main app. The area is called content. The routes have been setup and the area works fine. To access the Index action on the Home controller I can do either: http://my-host/areas/content/inde...

Hello, I have encountered what I expect is a common issue in web development. I have an ASP.NET MVC 2.0 ecommerce site. I pass the cost of an item to the product page view via a viewmodel - this cost may vary based on user type, user history, quantity purchased, etc. I want to guarantee that when the user submits the form to purchase ...
I'd like to set a default Razor layout via code in either a base controller or an attribute. It was mentioned in the Docs that this is possible, but I can't figure out how it's done. I know there's the masterPage parameter to the View method available, but I would like all views returned by a controller to have this value set automatica...
I need to create a sort of pie chart that has slices with differing radii - similar to: http://www.andypope.info/charts/pieradius.htm. I also want to overlay a second series on it, as a line. The solution needs to be ASP.NET MVC-friendly - and I need to be able to associate "drill down" links with the slices. If there's no off-the-...
I think I might already understand how this works, but wanted to be sure. I am in the process of defining the routes for a new ASP.NET MVC application. I'd like to create short permalinks similar to Stack Overflow's short permalink to this question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/4047890/61654 What route and controller mechanism is S...

Hi, What is the correct way to absolute reference an external JavaScript file from the Site.Master file. In Web Forms I used to do it like this src="<%#ResolveUrl(@"Scripts/Common.js") %>". Thanks ...
I am wondering if it is a good idea or bad, placing things like a List of countries in ViewModel, for binding to a drop down list? For example on a site's Registration page. I was under the impression that a ViewModel is supposed to represent an instance of the filled out form, but I think I may be wrong as I have seen other people put ...
The new Async framework released today at PDC10 looks really brilliant. I've had quite a bit of experience working with asynchronous applications/services and can say from experience that it is amazingly how simplified they have made the process. My question is - will this play well with ASP.net MVC asynchronous controllers? If it doe...
