How can I sanitize a string for use as a filename?
I've got a routine that converts a file into a different format and saves it. The original datafiles were numbered, but my routine gives the output a filename based on an internal name found in the original.

ASP.NET MVC Data Validation - Highlight Table Row vs. TextBoxes
On an ASP.NET MVC View, I have a couple of checkboxes, one for email address and one for phone.

Turning off Request.Form validation on inherited button control

Partial Validation ASP.NET MVC
I've read a number of articles now in regard to validation and asp.net mvc and the majority tend to point to validation in the model.
