Hi, I am creating an ActionResult in ASP.Net MVC to serve images. With Session state enabled, IIS will only handle one request at a time from the same user. (This is true not just in MVC.) Therefore, on a page with multiple images calling back to this Action, only one image request can be handled at a time. It's synchronous. I'd like ...

When it generates the pages links, they will have that uri_segment you specified, and after that, the page link. Let's say: /some/uri/segments/6 where 6 is the page. Now, that enforces the page number to be the last uri segment. W...

First I'm using the latest version on the grid (3.5.3) in an ASP.NET MVC app. Almost everything is working great - loads my data, edit form fires the correct Controller method.

I have some pages designed by someone else as simple HTML that I need to dump into my MVC application. Not surprisingly the images are stored in a local /images directory. I'd like to be able to serve the images up from the Views directory where the main view pages are. I'd rather do this than make it its own virtual directory, but I...

Is it better...
