Building or publishing my ASP.MVC 2 application the .spark files in the View directories copied to /bin/Views/*. This redundancy seems to be useless as the app runs fine on the server even if I delete the bin/Views directory. Any idea how to prevent this behavior? My files are tagged with the default build action "Content" and the Vi...
I've an Admin area and I want only Admins to enter the area. I considered adding the Authorized attribute to every controller in the Admin area. Isn't there an elegant solution or is this feature not there in the framework itself? EDIT: I'm sorry, I should to have mentioned this before. I'm using a custom AuthorizedAttribute derived fro...

I am storing pieces of XHTML as text on a search index. Once the user submits a search request, I insert this text in my page and return it to the server. This all works fine except when there is a ISO 8859-1 Symbol in the text (such as a copyright symbol ©). The symbol is not represented correctly in the browser, it is displayed as t...

Hi, I recently migrating my ASP.Net MVC 1 application from VS.Net 2008 / C# 3.5 to VS.NET 2010 / C# 4.0. I massively used a builder to get URL strings from the strongly typed calls. It looks like this : // sample call : string toSamplePage = Url.To<SampleController>(c => c.Page(parameter1, parameter2)); the code is added as an exten...
Hi, I'm trying to migrate to ASP.Net MVC 2 and meet some issues. Here is one : I needed to bind directly a Dictionary as result of a view post. In ASP.Net MVC 1 it worked perfectly using a custom IModelBinder : /// <summary> /// Bind Dictionary<int, int> /// /// convention : <elm name="modelName_key" value="value"></elm> /// </summar...
I am trying to create a custom authentication scheme in ASP.NET MVC using form authentication. The idea that I might have different areas on the site that will be managed - approver are and general user area, and these will use different login pages, and so forth. So this is what I want to happen. User access restricted page (right now...
When I used the html Helper Checkbox, it produces 2 form elements. I understand why this is, and I have no problem with it except: The un-checking of the checkbox does not seem to be in sync with the 'hidden' value. What I mean is that when I have a bunch of checkboxes being generated in a loop: <%=Html.CheckBox("model.MarketCategori...

Which worked fine in MVC 1, using tryupdatemodel in that any text entries that had no text in them would be set to a blank string, in MVC 2 RC2 apparently (at least from my testing) it sets them to null / nothing. So now I'm getting errors from my validation layer which requires those to be bla...
We're developing a pretty large application with MVC 2 RC2 and we've received some feedback on the way we're using the Entity Framework's Lazy Loading. We're just getting the entities in the controller and sending them as models to the Views, that is causing that the view code asks the Database for the navigation properties we are usin...

I have a custom model binder that takes a comma separated list and cleans out any empty values, then passes it along to the default model binder. This worked in ASP.NET MVC Preview 2, but when I upgraded to RC2, the below won't compile because the interface of ValueProvider only has a GetValue() method, no [] accessor. Is what I'm doing ...
Hello, Few months I've started learning ASP.NET MVC 1.0. Although hard in the beginning, now I've made huge progress so that I'm working on something serious I can show to my colleagues. But, now MVC 2 is almost out there. Now I would like to know if MVC 1.0 and MVC 2 are profoundly different. In fact, I wonder if I need (first) to fi...

I am trying to find some examples of building a custom model binder for a unique binding scenario I need to handle, but all of the articles I found were for older versions of MVC which are no longer relevant in MVC2. I've been referencing the DefaultModelBinder source code to try to get a general feel for what I need to do, but it's enti...
