The last time I took on a non-trivial .Net/C# application I used Castle Monorail and, on the whole, enjoyed the experience. Early-access/preview releases of .Net MVC were not yet available. Many "Microsoft shops" will now find the "official" solution more appealing. Has anyone gone from Monorail to .Net MVC. How did you find the switch...
I am trying to set a javascript date so that it can be submitted via JSON to a .NET type, but when attempting to do this, jQuery sets the date to a full string, what format does it have to be in to be converted to a .NET type? var regDate = student.RegistrationDate.getMonth() + "/" + student.RegistrationDate.getDate() + "/" + student.Re...

Is anyone using Castle MonoRail and ELMAH with success? We are using a number of Resuces to present users with friendly error messages, but if we do this the exceptions never get as far as ELMAH as the MonoRail rescue intercepts them. Ideally we want the user to see the rescue, but for the exception to be logged in ELMAH. Any ideas/po...
I’m trying to make the routing module works with default action or controller, but it doesn’t. I always face with 404 page not found. Did I forget to do something?

We're using interfaces to represent entity classes in our domain model. We have concrete implementations of these by virtue of using LinqToSql. We have added a factory method to each LinqToSql class which our service layer uses to instantiate a new entity (note; as opposed to the controller's DataBind attribute doing it). MonoRail's d...

I've been using MVC frameworks for a short while now and I really like how the concerns are separated out. I've got into a bad habit of letting the controllers do quite a bit of work. So I'm really looking for some advice. When I first started using MVC I quite often had the controller doing manipulation on the models after database w...
So, I'm setting a cookie that should expire. However, I want this to work around the world. So I need to adjust my expiry date for the user's timezone. So, I need to find out the user's timezone, server-side. Is there a way to do this in the BCL? As in, something like relying on the CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture to be set correctly...
Has anyone managed to activate Gzip compression on a website in IIS6 ? We're using Castle Monorail (it's very nice btw) and as a result have clean RESTful URLs with no extensions..... ..... and there's the rub -> as far as we can see we need extensions on our endpoints to allow gzip compression. It seems the only way out is our own HTTP...

I'm using Castle Monorail with jQuery tabbed navigation. When handling a controller action, I would like to redirect to a view, and control which tab is visible. Therefore, I'd like to have my controller redirecting to a specific anchor in a view, something along the lines of: RedirectToAction("Edit", "id=1", "#roles")); Resulting in...
In our project, we have a whole bunch of small css/js files, so when we build views we find ourselves writing many <link> or <script> tags, forcing the browser to make many requests for our css/js content. To remedy this, we started looking for a way for server to shore that all up into one request that dumps every css file or every js ...
