I've been a C# programmer for about 2 years total, and professionally for a little more than 1. I work at a company as a developer on an application that began before the days of .NET 2. My question is this: What is the benefit to use databinding from sql queries directly to a control over querying and manually adding items to the contr...
I'm paralyzed by choice. I know PHP, C# and Java fairly well as languages. Most of my web development in the past has been in PHP (with my own or other OSS frameworks). I've spent the last 2-3 years developing desktop GUI apps in C#. Before that I was doing desktop GUI apps in Java (with a little Servlets/JSP). I want to develop a...
Hi All, I am deciding on a framework to try out for PHP and have narrowed it down to CakePHP and CodeIgniter. I have a couple questions for any of you who have used or are familiar with both: I like the fact that Cake keeps most of the code outside the webroot by default. Especially since I may end up using a single framework instal...
Okay, before I start this, I am well aware of how subjective this question is. For my case, I'd like to define the 'best' for me as: Rapid development "Pretty" URLs Data validation Good knowledge base available Not impossible to integrate other PHP software with This is a pretty generic definition, but all I'm looking for here is op...
As a hobby project I am currently trying to create a small browser-based game - and I thought it would be the "right thing" to code it using the MVC pattern, separating the game's "engine" from presentation. It would be a simple "rpg" game, where the player's character wander the world fighting monsters and gathering items. My problem i...

What exactly is this line in the config doing when it is using IIS7 Integrated mode? <add name="UrlRoutingHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="UrlRouting.axd" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> Without this I get an err...
I'm a bit confused about how MVC works and I can't find anything but basic examples. I want to make a kind of widget-based design; you can choose various widgets to go on your page. Each widget should be responsible for itself - it should have a controller and a view. But what about the main page? Suddenly I've got a page with lots ...
I am working on implementing Zend Framework within an existing project that has a public marketing area, a private members area, an administration site, and a marketing campaign management site. Currently these are poorly organized with the controller scripts for the marketing area and the members area all being under the root of the sit...

What is the best way to structure a VB.NET windows forms application so that code can be reused and the app can be extended easily. I used to create lots of new forms. This lead to lots of repeated code and forms which did similar things. Now, for forms which do similar jobs, such as view/edit/delete items from a specific db table, I c...
I am new to the MVC practice, and would like to start with Microsoft's MVC. Can we recommend a book or tutorial that can help a newbie get started? ...
Hi All, I am just getting started with MVC, and it seems like it will be a great way to go, once I manage to switch my thinking to it. Most of the material I have come across seems to have a 1-1 relationship between models, views, and tables - ie each model represents a table and allows CRUD, plus more complex functions. What if I hav...
Hey, I have beening using ASP.net MVC for a new website. I have found a minor nagging issue with having views with the same name but are in different folders i.e. Views/Home/Index.aspx and Views/Account/Index.aspx The codebehind files act as if they are partial classes when there is a definition for the same event or function (i.e. Page...
In our new product we have a few data entry fields that require you to search for the correct value to place in this field. When you enter this data entry field I would like to provide a search option via something on the view (perhaps an Ajax implementation) and have it allow searching of the database for the value, but when the resu...
Hi all, these are just my wonderings and I thought I'd share them... Simply put, MVC is the pattern for separating contents (model) from presentation (view), and having a mechanism in place (controller) defining how to gather both. If you already see where I am going at, I am very interested to hear your opinion on the matter. Of cours...
I'm making my way through the early Data Access Tutorials on Microsoft's ASP.NET website and it occurred to me that this all seems awfully similar to what I have read about separating your logic and presentation code using the MVC pattern. As a newbie I have yet to implement the MVC pattern but I'm curious as to how these two design stru...
Is it possible to add a wildcard application map in IIS6 from the wix installer package? I know how to add application extensions however can't see any way to add wildcards. This is needed for ASP.Net MVC to function properly. Thanks ...

I'm new to the MVC framework and wondering how to pass the RSS data from the controller to a view. I know there is a need to convert to an IEnumerable list of some sort. I have seen some examples of creating an anonymous type but can not figure out how to convert an RSS feed to a generic list and pass it to the view. I don't want it to...
