The FK relationship may or may not exist for any row in TableA. My LINQ to SQL classes express this relationship as ClassA.ClassB.Property, but in some instances ClassA.Cl...
If you review a SO question URL you will see that an ID and a "SLUG" are passed to the Questions controller: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/676934/what-do-you-need-to-write-your-own-blog-engine. What I find interesting is you can change the "SLUG" portion of the URL without affecting the application's ability to route the request exa...

What's the best way to create printable letters from an MVC application? I'm looking for sort of a mail merge thing from my app that prints a form letter with various values filled in. In ASP.NET, I previously did this by creating an HTML document and displaying it as application/msword, but I did that with code-behind, which isn't an (...
Hi folks, i have a simple form for an ASP.NET MVC application. I have a form property that is named differently (for whatever reason) to the real property name.

A colleague emailed me an example ASP.NET MVC project that won't build on my machine as it contains a reference to System.Web.Mvc.dll In the .csproj file: <Reference Include="System.Web.Mvc, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL" /> I have VS2008 SP1 installed and can create new...

For that, I've set the DataContext's Log property to my custom logger, which is working well. Now I just need to get the current Controller object (outside the controller execution context) ...

I'm using ASP.NET MVC (v1.0) on an app and want to integrate simple client-side form validation. IE: Numeric-Only fields, required fields, etc. Is there good, and potentially eye-candy fancy, method of validating in jQuery on the client that will cancel form submission on failed validation? I've perused and experimented with quite a fe...
The following setup kind of works, but it's not the proper use of TempData, and it falls down after the first use. I suspect I'm supposed to be using ViewData, but I'm looking for some guidance to do it correctly. In my Home controller, I have an Index action that shows which members need to have letters created: Function Index() As Ac...
Hi All, I have an Action method in an ASP.NET MVC Controller class that handles form posts from a fairly basic "create/edit a user" page.

Coming from a desktop client background, with no real data-driven web design experience, I am studying ASP.NET UI design to determine the best UI pattern for Parent/Children data. I always tend to experiment with Parent/Child presentation when learning a new UI platform, so that is where I have started here. Thinking I should use ASP.NE...
