I've got a user management application that includes a membership provider and an associated user model that inherits from MembershipUser. Things work, but I'm not certain I'm leveraging things just right. Where should the separation of concerns lie in what code is implemented in the model (like loading an object) versus GetUser from the...
Currently, I'm seeing when the DefaultModelBinder errors because the input is invalid for the type (character in int, invalid date, etc.) I get UI default error summary “Something has gone wrong…” but no specific error message, regarding the specific property that failed conversion. For example a model property might be a datetime that ...
I tried to make the ViewEngine use an additional path using: base.MasterLocationFormats = new string[] { "~/Views/AddedMaster.Master" }; in the constructor of the ViewEngine. It works well for aspx and ascx(PartialViewLocationFormats, ViewLocationFormats). I still have to supply the MasterPage in web.config or in the page declara...

It all works, but how do I get the MembershipUser in my application, such that I can get the user key of the logged-on user and load model classes relating to that user? ...
When I use UpdateModel or TryUpdateModel, the MVC framework is smart enough to know if you are trying to pass in a null into a value type (e.g. the user forgets to fill out the required Birth Day field) . Unfortunately, I don't know how to override the default message, "A value is required." in the summary into something more meaningful...
Links to articles would also be appreciated--I don't know the terminology to search for. I'm looking to learn how a web application can allow for server-to-client communications. I know the web was not designed for this and that it has been something of a hurdle, and am just wondering what the state of this is, and what the best practic...
I'm checking out ASP.NET MVC RC2. Is the API documentation completely missing? I should be able to find something by hitting F1, right? ...
I've encountered a strange issue.... when I use UpdateModel() or TryUpdateModel() everything works fine. When I try binding myself (e.g. MyObject.FirstName = collection["FirstName"] I get a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. It's a little hard to explain, so I'll present the code: [HandleError] [Acce...

When I add a new view I don't get intellisense for the HTML helper object until I compile. I guess it must be a VS issue. But what changes when I compile? What makes it work? EDIT: More Details I am running RC1 on VS2008 pro. I have had this issue since I started with MVC using preview 2. When I create a new view I do not get intellise...
