We have a legacy ASP.NET webforms application that we're engaged in stabilising and removing technical debt from. Is it possible to take a hybrid approach - ie, can ASP.NET MVC coexist with webforms within the same web-project? Are there any gotchas for that? If it is possible, I assume one just has to initialise the routes table, register the ASP.NET MVC handlers,
View 1 RepliesBasically what the title says. I created a new MVC application. I'm trying to add new pages to the site, but anytime I do I get the following error:Server Error in '/' Application.The resource cannot be found.Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
namespace MyAppMVC.Controllers
{
public class ProductsController : Controlle{
public ActionResult Index()

For applications that need to have fastly different view layers, and I would like to still use the idea of the controller. I would ideally like to but the controllers in a Class Lib. and then have only the Views in a MVC Web Application. Taking the model out in this way works well, but I can't find a nice way to split the views and controllers.
View 7 RepliesI am new to MVC. my question is when we add a view to the controller event by doing the right click and add view.then we give a view name and click on add button. where is this information stored that which view is linked to which view?
View 2 RepliesI'm building a CMS type of application in MVC. I want to reuse my views and controllers for adding/managing content in at least two other MVC sites. Obviously I dont want more than one code base for the CMS stuff. I figured out a way to do so:
Controllers:
Controllers are easy. Nothing more than creating a new Class Library Project and adding your controllers. Be sure to reference System.Web.MVC. In your MVC project just reference your controller assembly.
Views:
Views are a bit trickier. My solution was to add the folder structure to my assembly
CMSViews
CMSViewsWhatever
Then start adding my view pages. For each page, you have to set the 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Copy Always' (right click -> properties)
Then I created a new class which inherits from 'WebFormViewEngine'. In the constructor I call the base() and then I add paths to the base.MasterLocationFormats and base.ViewLocationFormats to specify the new locations to look for views.
[Code]....
Setup in MVC project:
To get the controllers and views to work from the assemblies, you have to add two lines of code in the global.asax. Under the RegisterRoutes() method, add
ControllerBuilder.Current.DefaultNamespaces.Add("YourAssemblyNamespace.Controllers");
then under the Application_Start() method add:
ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new YourAssemblyNamespace.MyViewEngine());
What I dont like is that the Views get put into the Bin directory when published and you have to make sure to set the Ouput to Copy Always which is going to be a PITA for larger projects with lots of views.
We're throwing together a quick project (CRUD forms) and decided to skip view models and use EF entities directly in controllers and views. Since I'm not used to this approach, I'm confused about handling validation.
For example: a DB field has a length of 25. How does that get transferred (if it can) to a validation constraint in my view? If i was using an intermediate model, I would attach attributes to the model properties and it would work. How would I do this using EF objects directly?
I have a subdirectory in Controllers named Admin, which contains several controllers.
Is there a way to change the route so that I can put all the views in "/Admin" for every controller in the Admin directory? Or do I need to map a route for every single controller?
I have an MVC 3 application which uses asp.net authentication. I have just created a custom errors controller and a couple of views for unknown errors and 404's. This works fine when I am logged into the application but if an internal server error happens during logon I would like to display the error/unknown view. However I just keep getting redirected back to the login as I am not authenticated.
I have added a location path for 'Views/Error' to my Web.config to allow access to all users but I am guessing it's the controller access that is causing the redirection.
Is there any way you can allow this in MVC or do I need to think of another solution? Just did not want to add a generic message to the login page as that's what my unknown error view is for.
I would like to ask a plain and simple question about the Model-View-Controller architecture - should the UML Class diagram for my application include all the controllers and views and their relationships, or should it just include my model classes, i.e. the entities that are the heart of the application, you know - like in an ordinary application - i.e. User, Administrator, Student, Teacher, Course, Grade etc...?
View 1 RepliesConsider the following scenario: Page written in classic ASP or PHP, which is rendering a data report (series of HTML tables for simplicity). There is one main database query and then multiple sub queries as the page renders. The report is split into sub panels, which correlate to a sub query. Therefore:
Main database query. Loop over result. For each row, execute sub query and render report panel. How would you architect a similar report using the MVC pattern? This can be split into two parts: Efficiency at database level of multiple queries, which are dependent on values from an outer query. If all data was processed and prepared in the controller, would this also be deemed inefficient if looping within the controller and then again in a view to render. Could sub controllers be used or sub panels, which encapsulate smaller sections of logic i.e. loading data and rendering report panel.
We have a website build in the umbraco 4.1 cms (webforms) default .net 3.5 And we have some MVC tools and controls build with MVC2.0 on net 4.0 i've managed to let the umbraco cms run in .net 4.0 and i've been following parts of this guide (for mvc 1.0 and umbraco 4.0.3) but now i'm stuck, umbraco has alot of url management itself, so i use the urlRewriting.net (included in umbraco) to redirect a certain url, to [URL] for example. i know the url rewriting works (if i force an error into the mvc.ashx i recieve it in the browser window. but each time it gets to the ProcessRequest it throws a "resource not found" error to the screen here is the full code for mvc.ashx that i use

i have very few knowledge of mvc, though i am a certified umbraco developer. what i suspect is that there are some routing issues, and the views folder is not found or something like that.
If I use the webforms view engine with MVC3, using an import directive on a strongly typed view causes a compile time error.e.g, given the fully qualified model class ImportBug.Models.TestModel,
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<TestModel>" %>
<%@ Import namespace="ImportBug.Models" %>
[code]...
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC 2 site where I'm currently implementing an OpenID sign-up form. Unfortunately, I'm foreseeing a possible security bug/vulnerability inside my architecture.
Here's how I want OpenID login to work:
User requests /Account/Login, Controller sends back OpenIDLogin View. User enters their OpenID into the View, then OpenID authorization takes place, and finally the OpenID is returned to the Controller.The Controller checks whether the OpenID is currently in use by a user in the system or not. If it is, the user is logged in to that account. If not, the registration process begins.
And now, the OpenID registration process:
The OpenID identifier, as well as any other information provided by the OpenID provider (such as email address or name), is put into my custom ViewModel and sent to my OpenIDRegistrationForm View.The RegistrationForm View stores the OpenID in a hidden field to make sure that it gets sent back to the Controller.The user fills in the RegistrationForm View and sends it back to the Controller.The Controller creates the user account and puts the OpenID into the database.
The bug that I see within my architecture is that a user could modify the hidden value in the RegistrationForm View. Thus, they could spoof their OpenID! I will make sure to add another round of checking to the final Registration Controller Action to make sure that the OpenID that is provided doesn't exist yet, but there is still a possibility for spoofing. Can my architecture be improved somehow? I don't want this to end badly...
One solution I'm considering is encrypting the OpenID before I send it to the View and then decrypting it when it reaches the Controller. Should I try this?
I have to admit first, that for the last few years, I've been mostly an MVP guy versus MVC. However, how I used to implement MVP is very similar to how MVC 2 is now implemented. I only have one issue with it...When I used to create MVP apps, I could put all my logic (presenters, models) into separate assemblies/projects in the solution and my views into the main web app. This allows me to change the UI (i.e. the web based UI) to something else like a smart client or Silverlight or whatever and still have everything just work. With MVC 2, everything is all in the same project: controllers, views, models. Areas looked like a good start, but ultimately, not what I was looking for.So, here's my question... How do I move the controllers and models out of the web project and into their own projects and still have everything work? A good, simple example would be the default MVC 2 web application template. When you open a new (non-empty) MVC web application, it creates a basic site for you. From there, how could I move the controllers and models in separate projects and still have everything just work? I can't seem to find anything on this anywhere else which has brought me here
View 13 RepliesHere is what i would like to be able to do with the urls/routes:
1) www.domain.com/customer/home/index
2) www.domain.com/home/index
Where both the home controllers should be seperate controllers with seperate views and the company part should be an param for all the actions in the controllers.Now why i want to be able to do this is because of the following scenario: Each customer will have there own pages (which actually will all be the same for each customer but with different information per customer). The one without the customer is the general website where non customers can go to to become an customer or get information about the services we provide for them, they can sign up etc.
I want to publish my project, and upload it to my host but I don't know how to to do that to convert my codes to .dll to protect it ? to take a copy of my database and upload it to the host and bind it all steps needed to complete that successfully
View 2 RepliesI've got my Controllers in its own project, my Models in their own projects, and the Main App in ITS own project, which contains the Views folder.
So when I open up my controller cs file and right click on, say for example, the Details action and choose "Add View", it creates a Views folder within my Controllers project, and adds the view there. I want it to add the view into the Views folder in my Main App project. How in the world do I do this?
I'm a front-end guy who's picked up ASP.NET WebForms through working on various projects at my agency.I have a project with a developer in mind, and I want to use/learn MVC for it - but he thinks it not worth using MVC at all. His opinion is that the benefits of MVC are perceived, and that performance won't be an issue, and it better to just push forward with WebForms.
The project is a web app that will give people project planning tools, creation of a personal contact database, and their own basic website.My personal feelings are that I hate all the bloat that comes with WebForms sites - the ViewState, the one , the enormous JS files, the lack of control of markup (e.g. validation controls).Obviously, ASP.NET WebForms is linked to resources, but MVC is about URL structures and interpreting them.
After discussion and research I'm thinking now that because of the supposedly large transition/learning curve of MVC, it really is better to just stay with WebForms.I watched Ryan Singer work with RoR MVC in person, and I was stunned at how rapid everything was to develop.Should I just accept that it's more pragmatic and productive to keep with WebForms now, and not use MVC, or should I find a way of convincing my co-worker that MVC is the right thing to do?
I'm so excited about the webmatrix, because it makes all the works to be easier than ever before, so I make a try, but I met a problem when I deployed the project membership db to remoting host (I chose the cytanium.com), and I had deployed the project files and another database sucessfully, only the membership related database failed, the error message is below:
[Code]....
I thought that the problem source is about the collation of the database, so I change my database collation from "Chinese_PRC_CI_AS" to "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS", but the problem is the same, I had search a lot of articles, but I didn't find a way to resolve this issue.
Can i create html helpers in Webforms project like in asp.net mvc?
View 2 RepliesI have a good amount of knowledge in the ASP.NET Webforms and MVC worlds. Shortly I will be tasked with implementing custom web applications with Sharepoint. I have great flexibility with this project (i.e - I can use custom web apps outside of Sharepoint if that's possible) but like most projects the most limiting factor I have to deal with is time.
Here are some questions that come to mind:
Can I easily integrate a custom MVC project into Sharepoint 2010? What are the pros and cons if I can? Same as #1 only with Webforms. If #1 and #2 are not viable solutions, can I easily create custom web applications within the Sharepoint world? What will the learning curve be with my background? I understand developers can now use Windows 7 to deliver Sharepoint 2010 solutions. It looks like I can use a trial of Microsoft Sharepoint Foundations 2010. If that's correct, are there any development differences or gotchas I need to be aware of before digging into the Foundation version? I don't want to get up to speed on Foundation and then find out that the Server edition (the version that will be deployed) is vastly different.
My kind webhost (1and1) royally asked me to go elsewhere to do something like this.
I have 2 sites. One of them was developed by a .Net programmer. Now I am contracted to implement a PHP site and fetch data from the .Net site.
There is an ASP.Net form that a customer fills and when they hit submit, the data gets stored in SQL Server DB. How do I also store the same data in MySQL parallelly? I cannot directly use some database connectors with ASP.Net since MySQL connectivity is not supported on 1and1 Windows hosting (biz account, no less!).
What I thought of is to publish an RSS feed of entries in ASP.Net site and routinely scrape that data into MySQL on Linux host. It is an overkill, I know. Not efficient.
I have one IIS entry with AppPool integrated mode. There are 5 or more host headers assigned. The application pulls data based on the host name from Request.Url.Host. When I have 2 or more sites open at the same time the value of the Request.Url.Host is the same across all the sites. About every 30 seconds it resets itself to the correct value from the last request and shows that value on the other sites. So ultimately the sites are loading the same data. The value in the HOST server variable is incorrect as well.

These partial views are populated using partial requests so the controller for the view itself doesn't pass any data to them. Is it possible to reload the data in one of those partial views if an action was triggered in another?
