Avoiding Loop When Accessing 404 Action Directly?

Sep 9, 2010

Like many people using ASP.NET MVC, I've implemented my own custom 404 error handling scheme using an approach similar to the one described here: [URL]

(I actually discovered that post after implementing my own solution, but what I came up with is virtually identical.)

However, I ran into one issue I'm not sure how to properly handle. Here's what my 404 action in my ErrorController class looks like:

[Code]....

The part that's different from the answer in the other StackOverflow question I referenced above is how the 'retry loop' is prevented. In other other answer, the code that prevents the retry loop simply sets properties on a ViewModel, which doesn't seem to actually prevent the loop. Since the action is sending back a response code of 404, then accessing the action directly (by typing "/Error/NotFound" in the browser) causes an infinite loop.

So here's my question: Did I miss another, more obvious way to handle the retry loop issue, or is my approach a decent way to do this?

Avoiding Comma Separator For The Last Value?

Jan 18, 2011

I am generating an output on a webpage in a format like this

({"1":"Jeff","2":"Tom","3":"Michael",})

For this, basically this is the code I am using

Response.Write("(" + "{");
//
for (Int32 i = 0; i < k.Length; i++)
{
Response.Write(Convert.ToString(k.GetValue(i)) + ",");
}
//
Response.Write("}" + ")");

Notice my output, after Michael" there is a comma which I do not want since this is the last vaue but this is appearing since , is in the for loop. How to prevent this/remove this last comma from appearing?

My output should be ({"1":"Jeff","2":"Tom","3":"Michael"}) (There's no comma after last value here)

Security - Avoiding Session Hijacking?

Feb 24, 2011

I recently read an article on making ASP.NET sessions more secure here and at first it seems really useful.

Previously I had been storing the user's IP address in the session, then making sure in every subsequent request that the requesting IP was equal to the stored IP.

The code in the article also protects the session by checking the IP address, except it stores a hashed message authentication code containing the user's IP as part of the session cookie. It creates a hashed MAC twice every request, which I imagine would slow things down a little.

I can already see a potential flaw in their code: if you were to somehow get a hold of the key used to generate the MAC, you could then generate a valid MAC with your own IP - you wouldn't even have to fake the IP the session was started on.

It seems like an overly-complex solution to a simple problem which not only incurs a larger overhead but also is more susceptible to attack than the trivial method - unless I'm completely missing the point.

So, why would this approach be any more secure than the more simple approach that I had been using?

As a slight aside, the author also states that you shouldn't use the whole IP address in the comparison, as some user's IPs change every request if they are behind a proxy. Is this still the case if you check X_FORWARDED_FOR?

Avoiding Application Pool Warmup In IIS?

Jan 31, 2011

I'm having issues with an ASP.net site (framework 3.5, IIS6 ) having very slow 'first hit' response times. I'm guessing that the issue is to do with the app pool recycling and having to warm up.

I got to thinking. As part of the site I have a HTTP module that spins up a 'never ending loop' on a separate thread which periodically (every 5 seconds) calls an sproc on SQL to make sure the database is still there. I'm wondering if a similar approach might work to get the site to make an HTTP request to "itself" as a keep alive.

My question is, before I go and do this, can anyone think of any reason why it won't work? For example, something like "oh no... ASP.Net will figure out that you're playing with yourself and not go through the whole page lifecycle... etc etc".

Web Forms :: Avoiding Personalization Data For Whole Web Page

Jul 29, 2010

I have a web parts page in which each web part has its own personalization data(list of DB table primary keys). At startup, I want to get thecombined data stored in each web part to make a query in the background. Is it possible ? Currently I have to wait for IPersonalizationData.Load for each web part to get what keys are stored by each. Is there a way to store personalization data for the whole page ? I can't use profile as this data is not per user. Worst case is write to a file which I want to avoid if possible.

Avoiding The Use Of The Viewdata Enumerable Object In Controller?

Mar 23, 2011

I have 2 points for today I. I have a controller in which i have a public static method for getting the details for a checkbox like

[code]....

is it ok for me to use this same function like this one in the view, so that I do not need to use the viewdata object,

<%: Html.DropDownList("country", new SelectList(UserController.GetCountryLists(), "value", "countryname", "0"))%>

Also i have another query, when i use the same id & name for the radiobuttons, validation at the client side is working fine.If I use the same condition for a group of checkboxes, i get do not get the checkboxes highlighted during client validation and only during server validation, i get the error message, but the controls [checkboxes] do not have a red border indicating the error.I have used my own html helper to generate the checkboxlist as per [URL].

Storing HTML In Db While Avoiding Persistent Xss / Sql Injection?

Nov 29, 2010

I'm building a page in asp.net that will use tiny mce to provide a rich text editor on the page. Tiny mce outputs the rich text as html which I would like to save to a database. Then at a later date, I want to pull the HTML from the database and display it in a page.

I'm concerned about allowing malicious html, js tags into my database that would later be output.

I should html encode/decode etc. to prevent a persistent xss attack and or sql injection attack?

VS 2008 Avoiding MSDTC / Finding Tutorials For Options

Oct 31, 2010

Various tutorials and articles describing the N-tier architecture use the "Open Late Close Early" methodology for Connection objects. The connection is just opened before a "ExecuteNonQuery or ExecuteReader" command, and closed immediately

This means that inside a transaction where a number of business objects have to be updated (using different DAL classes), the connection can be opened and closed many times.

In that case the transaction will be escalated to a distributed transaction. Now we can’t assume that MSDTC will be availableunning every where. Now if I am building a website to be uploaded using those shared web hosting services, which does not allow MSDTC , what are my options ?

MVC :: Why Synchronous Action Wasn't Executed Until Asynchronous Action Completed

Nov 29, 2010

I'm implement Comet in Asp.net MVC, I used timer to keep Async request in server, Async request will complete when timer elapsed 1 minute and response to client (to avoid 404 error) and then reconnect to Async Controller. I also wanna execute some Synchronous action during Async request was holding, but the problem is: When an Async action was executed and hold by using timer, the Sync Action wasn't called until Async action (comet long-live request) completed. I did test with firefox 3.6 many times, but the result is the same, so strange, Do you know why ? I have a sub some questions : To implement comet, using timer (response after some minutes elapsed) or thread (response after several time sleeping thread) to hold async request, which is better?

Test That A Controller Action Simply Returns A Link To Another Action?

Lets say I have a simple controller for ASP.NET MVC I want to test. I want to test that a controller action (Foo, in this case) simply returns a link to another action (Bar, in this case).How would you test TestController.Foo? (either the first or second link)

My implementation has the same link twice. One passes the url throw ViewData[]. This seems more testable to me, as I can check the ViewData collection returned from Foo(). Even this way though, I don't know how to validate the url itself without making dependencies on routing.The controller:

State Management :: Avoiding Timeouts With Very Long Page Processing?

Apr 7, 2010

I have an asp.net page that will be doing some processing that may take a very long time to complete. I cannot just set the page timeout value since this is going to be in a hosted environment and the timeout values that I set in my web.config are overridden by the server host. What I'm doing is taking a file from a FileUpload control and doing some web requests to a 3rd party service for each line in the file, all of which may take a very long time to process a large file. I'm talking on the order of, say, 30 minutes, and there's just no way to optimize this any further to cut down on the processing time. Is it possible to even do such a lengthy page request in asp.net? Can someone give me a pointer in the right direction here to make this happen? Is my only hope to create an async page? It seems that doing an async page is the way to go if I have a potential for a lot of lengthy requests, but really this massive of a request is going to happen VERY rarely so this is not an issue of running out of thread pool since most of the time this particular request will be completed relatively quickly, but on occasion it may receive a very large file it will need to process and will take a very long time. So what is the best way to handle that case?I'd also like to update the client with the processing status as the processing is going on. I'm familiar with doing client ajax calls via jQuery to a page webmethod so if there is some clean way to update the client as this long processing

How To Pass Parameters To An Action Using Html.Action() In MVC?

Jun 30, 2010

I've been using Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") to invoke child actions across controllers without needing to have the view in ViewsShared. 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 to Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") so the action can execute different code based on the the data passed to the original view.

Should I be using a different method to pass parameters to a child action in a different controller?
