I'm having trouble trying to think what the best way is to recreate a database object in a controller Action. I want to make use of ModelBinders so in my action I have access to the object via a parameter, rather than having to repeat code to get an object from the database based on an identifier parameter. So I was thinking of having a...
Hoping the SO community can help to resolve a debate in the office. At the moment our conclusion is 'it depends' ! In MVC, how do you organise your namespaces? Option A Do you go down the MS ASP.NET MVC route of having a Models, Controllers and Views namespace? Option B Or do you separate each MVC triad into it's logical 'functio...

When Jeremy & Chad posted about their FubuMvc project, one of the differentiators they mentioned was their "Thunderdome Principal": The “Thunderdome Principle” – All Controller methods take in one ViewModel object (or zero objects in some cases) and return a single ViewModel object (one object enters, one object leaves).

This question is for anyone who has significant experience using ASP.NET WebForms who has made the switch to ASP.NET MVC. What was your business justification for making the switch? Do you consider the MVC platform to be mature? How long did it take for you to be productive using MVC (say 80% of your previous WebForms productivity leve...
I have a <table/> in a ViewUserControl that I have given the tag a class="tblRaised" attribute/value. Visual Studio keeps underlying tblRaised and telling me - The class or CssClass is not defined. Why is the intellisense engine trying to validate my CSS class names here? Anyone else run into this? Is this a bug? How would intellisense...
I have this annoying issue with the checkbox created using the Html.Checkbox extension method. Apparently the state of the checkbox is not saved in case of a postback (due to a form validation error). Delving into the MVC code itself (System.Web.Mvc.Html.InputExtensions) I found out that the 'checked' property is determined by calling 'h...

I have quite a lot of PHP view files, which I used to include in my controllers using simple include statements. They all use methods declared in a view class which they get like $view->method(); However I recently decided that it would be better if the including would also be done by this view class. This however changes the scope of th...

I have a function in my controller that has grown longer than I'd prefer and I'd like to refactor it to call a few discrete functions to make it easier to manage. How can I better organize a long function in a Codeigniter controller? What I've tried: I know you can create private functions in a controller by naming them with a leading ...
Can the folders within the View have subfolders? if so, how does the Controller reach them? For example... I would like to have the following urls work correctly: Admin/Index Admin/Profile/Index Admin/Profile/Edit/1 Admin/Group/Index Admin/Group/Edit/1 So, would I create a folder for Profile and Group as a subfolder within Admin?

in the MVC/MVP/MVPC design pattern where do you put your business logic? No, I do not mean the ASP.NET MVC Framework (aka "Tag Soup"). Some people say you should put it in the "Controller" in MVC/MVPC or "Presenter". But, others think it should be part of the Model. What do you think and why? ...

Has anybody gone through the process of converting a real-world business application from ASP.NET web forms to MVC? How painful was the transition? Would you say that it was worth it, overall?
