ASP.NET MVC 2 controllers and actions use UpperCamelCase. For some reasons many big sites, including SO, use lowercase (with underscore) for controllers and actions in the urls.

I am using ASP.NET MVC2 for my project. I want to send the user confirmation messages after actions. Ideally: User clicks on a link with a query string (i.e. a link to delete an entry) The controller does what the link says, creates the success message, and uses RedirectToAction to get rid of the query string from the URL. The new actio...
I'm trying to add a View to an arbitrary folder in my MVC project (~/SomeOtherViewDirectory). This works fine until I modify the View to use be strongly typed. Ie, if the page inherits from System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage, it compiles and runs fine, but if it inherits from System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage it does not. When I turn page compilation on...
I have an index page which shows a paged list of data from a database. When that list is empty, I want to show a "blank slate" view that clearly indicates to the user where they are and what they can do there: "You can add a new item by clicking here" type of thing. Is there a better/cleaner way to do this than just having a big if stat...
We are upgrading some of our VS2008 solutions to VS2010, but we are not yet prepared to go to .NET 4.0 on all our projects. At the same time, we are looking at a move from MVC 1.0 to 2.0. I know that there are MVC 2.0 assemblies/code compiled against both the 3.5 and 4.0 .NET Frameworks, but will these two MVC versions live side-by-sid...
I am currently working on a website using MVC2 and using ASP.NET Ajax to handle moving between pages. Everything is working fine except a page that has a form for the user to fill out that uses DataAnnotations for validation. This form falls within my UpdatePanel and won't conduct server or client side validation, both which I have worki...

I want to send an email to the address with a link that the user can click to verify their email, and then handle the clicking of that link (the link will contain a specific id, of course). Of course, this is easy to manually ...
I am uploading files using SWFUpload. To get the data I need passed along with the file, I am adding post params to swfupload. The problem is that the custom model binder I have written is not called when the controller method is called by swfupload. Some of the properties of my model are set, but not the properties controlled by my c...
I have a custom Data Validation Attribute I've created to make sure the passwords a user inputs are the same, but IsValid is never invoked. Custom attribute: public class IsSameAsAttribute : ValidationAttribute { public String TargetProperty { get; set; } private readonly object _typeId = new object(); public IsSameAsAtt...
I've been thinking about this recently and I don't know a really nice and tidy way of creating a mobile version of an existing or new MVC2 website/app. I think the easiest way would be to just use a different stylesheet depending on whether a mobile was detected but sometime you need to change the view content too if you have massive in...

My MVC validation is failing on disabled form fields - saying that they are required, even though these disabled input fields have values set. I read this http://weblogs.asp.net/imranbaloch/archive/2010/06/20/disabling-client-side-validation-for-disabled-input-controls-in-asp-net-mvc.aspx which explains how to modify the MicrosoftMvcVal...

Hello SO Community, I've been using Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") to invoke child actions across controllers without needing to have the view in Views\Shared. This has been working great for displaying things like session or cookie information. Instead of just accessing cookies, I would like to pass additional parameters ...
