I have used the xslt code from Steven Sandersons book 'Pro ASP.NET MVC2 Framework' for the xslt view engine and that is working perfectly. However I am now looking at using a master page for the header, footer, and navigation sections and only need to use my other xslt files to populate the content part.
i am using xslt file in a aspx page which uses a master page.in Action method i called the xslt file and returned the view();Now in my page first xslt content displays and after that master page content is displayed .how can i put the xslt content in content holder of master page in asp.net MVC
I have a pretty slick website and I wanted to add a simple blog system to it, without too much work. I've looked into a few blog systems, but none of them seem to be simple almost control like systems.
But when i go to Design View of the page (for creating the events automatically or for drag/drop any new control from toolbox, I don't want to type everything) the design view only shows the master page! the page controls are complete ignored!
I have a master page with a partial view. I want the partial view to display only when viewing a specific page/action. Is there any conditional I can wrap around the partial view that checks for the page/action I'm viewing?
I want to include view content page in my master page: My MVC application Left Menu MainPage. The Left Menu and Main page are two contentHolders in the master page. How can I add the Left Menu (View content page) to my Master page?. The Left Menu page is going to be a permanent page. The Content in the main Page is going to change. Left Menu content needs to be the permanent content for all other pages.
I searched in the internet, but I didn't find any solution that solves my problem. Basically I need some permanent menu items in the left page. But, I should not write the code in my master page. I need to add that Menucontent as my contentPage to the master. I have tried that by adding a New content page called "LeftPage.aspx" in View/Home folder.I have referred this page to the master "Left content holder". As the ASP.Net MVC talk to the controller, the left menu is not getting displayed while page loading.If i specify the ControlAction for this left page and specify the URL as //Home/Left ;then the page is getting displayed with only the left page content.
If I look at the Razor View Engine, then I see a very nice and concise syntax that is not particularly tied to generating html. So I wonder, how easy would it be to use the engine outside asp.net in a "normal" .net environment for example to generate text, code,...
how to fix "Method not found: 'Void System.Web.Mvc.ViewContext..ctor(System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext, System.Web.Mvc.IView, System.Web.Mvc.ViewDataDictionary, System.Web.Mvc.TempDataDictionary)'." exception. This solution doesn't work http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/aspnet/installing-the-spark-view-engine-into-asp-net-mvc-2-preview-2.aspx.
As ASP.NET MVC has a pluggable view engine architecture, and XAML is an object descriptive mark-up that, given the right processor/ parser, can generate an appropriate UI...are there plans/ efforts to create a view engine that can turn XAML into HTML?
Personally, I think this would help to re-enforce the efforts the WPF/ Silverlight people have gone to in providing a means of seperating the view from the model/ business logic between designers and developers (via Visual Studio and Expression Blend)...
Seems like a logical step to me, but not knowing XAML as well as I should, I'm wondering if feasable, or even relevant.
I am trying to implement something like Ruby on Rail's ActionDispatch::Flash to pass messages to the next page request. The approach that I want to take is to store a pair of (partial view name, model object) in the session context and render it in the master page when rendering the request to display the flash message.
Inside my HttpApplication subclass I now have:
[Code]....
to render the partial view that was specified by name when Global#Flash was called.
I want to use a view for the flash message instead of saving the message as a string in the session context because I want to include the URL in the message:
<%-- BookmarkAddedFlash.ascx --%> <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<MyApp.Web.Models.Bookmark_AddModel>" %> <%: Html.DisplayTextFor(m => m.Url) %> was successfully bookmarked.
And I only want to render the view when the subsequent request is made; i.e. one request sets the flash message and the subsequent request renders it.
I'm working trying to realize a requirement where the pages should be 'configurable' at runtime (per client), stored in a database - a requirement that I have no say in Anyway, the current plan is to use the Razor view engine and 'load' the 'pages' dynamically. I have a basic sample working using a VirtualPathProvider and VirtualFile that serves up Raz'pages' on the fly.The question I have if there is a better approach when I have the Razor 'pages' stored in a dB (or any other repository)?
There seems to be some constraints and concerns when I check other postings. For example:'If a Web site is precompiled for deployment, content provided by a VirtualPathProvider instance is not compiled, and noVirtualPathProvider instances are used by the precompiled site.' (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.hosting.virtualpathprovider.aspx )
When the command fires, the CommandArgument comes back unevaluated - it is the string a=<%# Eval("a")%>&b=<%# Eval("b")%>, not a=5&b=6 as I want. What's wrong with how I'm doing this?
I was going through the spark view engine documentation and found a lot of literals showing up in code for which I couldn't find any references. For e.g. ! , #, $ , !$ , ... What are these for? What do the combinations mean? When do they come into use? Am I missing any more literals that precede or comes after {
Is there any way to use placeholder similar to WebForms in NVelocity View Engine (.vm files)? Today I've got a component containing everything for the <head>, but I wish to specify additional tags from each view page like it can easily be done in ASP.NET WebForms / MVC:
If this is not possible directly trough NVelocity View Engine, do I have any other alternatives other than using a blank MasterPage and adding all markup in each view page?
