We are build a website using MVC pattern. So far all the pages we built used models which had to operate on Reference data(which is cached when the website loads for the first time). But now we have reached that stage of the flow where we have to deal with Transactional data (which is specific to that flow). Till now we created model cla...
I changed the MembershipProvider in my ASP.net MVC website, and now the stylesheet for the login page isn't referenced correctly. Below is a copy of the forms tag in my web.config if that could be the reason. It looks identical though to the one generated by a new project with the exception of the name and timeout attribute. <authentica...
I'm looking for recommendations on books about MVC on the desktop. If they use Java, that is a bonus. Some background: I'm writing a desktop application in Java. It's an audio application that has a number of views and a central model called a Library with playlists, effects lists and a folder structure to organize them. In this appl...
Are there any good MVC frameworks for native Windows Mobile code? Barring that could someone link to an open source Windows Mobile or CE project that uses the MVC pattern? ...
I know what ViewData is and use it all the time, but in ASP.NET Preview 5 they introduced something new called TempData. I normally strongly type my ViewData, instead of using the dictionary of objects approach. So, when should I use TempData instead of ViewData? Are there any best practices for this? ...
If you had to fix and stabilize a MVC application, where would you start: the Model, Controller or View? The problems are spread equally throughout the application, with bad programming practices that make it hard to add functionality. The application is written in PHP if it makes a difference. ...
Best practices: What's the best way for constructing headers and footers? Call it all from the controller, or include from the view file? I'm using Codeigniter. What's best practice? Loading all the included view files from the controller, like this? class Page extends Controller { function index() { $data['page_title'...
I am primary a web developer but I do have a very good understanding of C++ and C#. However, recently I have writing a GUI application and I have started to get lost in how to handle the relationship between my controller and view logic. In PHP it was very easy - and I could write my own MVC pattern with my eyes closed - mainly because o...
Generally, MVC frameeworks have a structure that looks something like: /models /views /controllers /utils However, in a web application suite, I've decided that clumping all models, views, and controllers together probably wouldn't be the best for clarity, unless I treated the system as one application instead of an application suite....
Note that I am not asking which to choose (MVC or MVP), but rather if one of the two should be used for a web application. I realize that it might be too much work to convert an older application from its current design to a MVC or MVP pattern. However, what about for a new app? It appears these are the most popular architecture pattern...
I have the following in my Global.asax.cs routes.MapRoute( "Arrival", "{partnerID}", new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", partnerID="1000" } ); routes.MapRoute( "Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" } ); My SearchController looks like this publ...
Hi stack overflow community, I would like to add graphing to my User Controls in ASP.NET MVC. I'm fairly new to MVC just jumped into it about 2 Weeks ago and was hoping for some ideas or a guide on how to approach this issue. I have searched around and found no helpful answers to resolve this issue. I was thinking of doing crystal report...
How do you decide if something goes in the view or the controller? Here are some specific examples: Zend_Captcha: Does the controller generate the captcha and pass it to the view or does the view generate it? Zend_Alc: Does the view decide if a segment of the view should be displayed to the user or do you have multiple views dependin...
Hello, I'm fairly new to MVC coming from a php background where I designed by view and created pages when I needed something like say a login form. I'd have a file called login. This only sucked when I needed a new login form to login a different type of user. Say an admin. I'd then have to create a new page called login-admin.php o...
Hi all, I'm having problems structuring classes in the Model part of an MVC pattern in my Python app. No matter how I turn things, I keep running into circular imports. Here's what I have: Model/__init__p.y should hold all Model class names so I can do a "from Model import User" e.g. from a Controller or a unit test case Model/Data...
Hi guys, I am in the middle of implementing an application using ASP.NET MVC and would love to cache the data passed to user controls or the output rendering on some user controls that I render using the Html.RenderPartial, that way I don't have to query the DB with every request I do to the controller for a new view. Thanks. ...
What are some best practices to orchestrate the interaction between complex components that are in your View? I'm not talking about simple widgets like a combo box or a grid control but components that are made up of multiple widgets and that may deserve being unit tested on their own. Would you: Define abstract interfaces for each c...
I've been researching PHP frameworks as of late for some personal projects, and it looks like most of them use a front controller to mimic a response. The controller gets the params from the request, and re-routes by sending the appropriate headers depending on the logic. This is the "response". Is this the best way to do this in PHP, or...
Let's say that Developer Alex has a strong background in Perl and is familiar with the Catalyst framework. Developer Bob, meanwhile, has a strong background in Ruby and is familiar with the Rails framework. Alex and Bob get together on a start-up. Of course, each will have very good arguments for their own specialty. Each will have a go...
