I need to develop a generic jQuery-based search plugin for the ASP.NET MVC application I'm building, but I can't figure out how it's supposed to fit, or what the best practice is. I want to do the following: $().ready(function() { $('#searchHolder').customSearch('MyApp.Models.User'); }); As long as I have implemented a specific i...
I want to create a new row in my database on a table that has a couple of foreign key relationships and I haven't been able to get a handle on what order and what calls need to be made. This is what I have so far: db.Models.Order order = DB.Models.Order.CreateOrder( apple ); order.CustomerReference.Attach( ( from c in db.Customer where ...
I have implemented what I thought was a pretty decent representation of MVC in several web applications but since having joined crackoverflow, I'm finding that perhaps my initial definitions were a bit simplistic and thus I'd really like some clarification on the differences between the Data Access Layer and the Model or Domain Layer of ...
I have found jQuery to be a great tool to simplify my MVC Views. For example, instead of including complicated logic to add alternating styles to my tables I just do this... $(document).ready(function() { $("table.details tr:odd").addClass("detailsAlternatingRow"); $("table.details tr:even").addClass("detailsRow"); ...

I'm having a quite complex model with many fields, has_many associacions, images added by image_column etc... New object will be added by multi page form (8 steps) - how shoud I accomplish validation and propagation between those steps?

I'm looking to get started building a project and want to use RSpec from day one. My Ruby background is limited, however, I do have a good understanding of MVC and the structure within Ruby.

Can someone recommend some good resources for learning about MVC in PHP? It doesn't have to be specific to MVC in PHP. In fact, I'm looking for recommendations of materials that focus on the higher level concepts with examples that could port well to any language so even ASP.net books will be tolerated ;-) Any recommendations for books...
Trying to make a form wizard with jquery tabs. Is it possible to have each step of the form in a separate view, then load each via jquery tabs' ajax option? When I ajax load just the partial (just the form), it has no way to access the js, css etc. (as there are is no 'header' for the partial file), and it doesn't seem to inherit from t...
Now that everyone is talking about MVC, I notice that the business rules are not being addressed. In the old days of the 3-tier architecture, The business rules were in the middle layer. Where do they fall in the new MVC? ...

I'm building an ASP.Net MVC website. Rather than have everything in one project, I've decided to separate the Web, Model and Controller out into different projects in the same solution, that reference eachother. The referencing goes like this: Web ---[references]---> Controller ---[references]---> Model Now I wanted to add 2 custom me...
I am a big fan of the Lightbox2 library, and have used it in the past just not on an MVC project. In the past I remember that Lightbox2 was picky about the paths it scripts, css, and images resided in. I remember specifically have to put everything in subdirectories of the page's path, else it wouldn't work. In a non-MVC application tha...
