I'm using ASP.NET 4 and the routing engine. In my Global.asax I have something like this.
routes.MapPageRoute(
"Items",
"manager/items",
"~/Manager/Item/Items.aspx"
);
Is writing a link this this acceptable?: <a href="/Manager/Items"></a> Should I be using the <% %> tags and code within to retrieve the route name, "Items" in this case?
I have some REST services using plain old IHttpHandlers. I'd like to generate cleaner URLs, so that I don't have the .ashx in the path. Is there a way to use ASP.NET routing to create routes that map to ashx handlers? I've seen these types of routes previously:
// Route to an aspx page
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("route-name",
"some/path/{arg}",
"~/Pages/SomePage.aspx");
// Route for a WCF service
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("Services/SomeService",
new WebServiceHostFactory(),
typeof(SomeService)));
Trying to use RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute() generates an error (that the handler does not derive from Page). System.Web.Routing.RouteBase only seems to have 2 derived classes: ServiceRoute for services, and DynamicDataRoute for MVC. I'm not sure what MapPageRoute() does (Reflector doesn't show the method body, it just shows "Performance critical to inline this type of method across NGen image boundaries"). I see that RouteBase is not sealed, and has a relatively simple interface:
public abstract RouteData GetRouteData(HttpContextBase httpContext);
public abstract VirtualPathData GetVirtualPath(RequestContext requestContext,
RouteValueDictionary values);
So perhaps I can make my own HttpHandlerRoute. I'll give that a shot, but if anyone knows of an existing or built-in way of mapping routes to IHttpHandlers, that would be great.
I keep running into problems with URLs and routing. Couldn't find an answer on SO. I would like to manage all of my urls/links in a single place. This is for my C# MVC code and the js/jquery ajax code. These urls are scattered throughout my application. Moving to a production server needs some fixes and I don't like the fact that I need to look for all of the occurrences in the application. I don't mind fixing this once - but I would like to do it only once. how to manage all of these links/urls as a group

I have a master page with links to other pages in the site. Those links use tilde paths (like "~/dir1/page2.aspx"). On most of the pages in the site that use this master page, there is no problem. The problem only seems to be on a few pages that use the master page, the links are VERY wrong, it tries to use the ~ as part of the link (so they are[URL]. It's as if it is treating the tilde as a literal under certain
Page B - loads slowly and needs to do some CPU-intensive operations on the web server.
I noticed that when someone is loading Page B, then Page A also loads slowly. This is even worse if multiple users are loading Page B at the same time. Page A won't finish loading until Page B is done.
Is there a best practice for making sure that Page A can still load quickly? Maybe a config setting or IIS setting that I need to change from its default? With 2 users loading Page B at the same time, the web server CPU usage only gets to 30% so I suspect it might be something I can tweak with the settings.
i have a function that pulls URLs from various web resources. needless to say some are full valid URLS and some are relative as per the HTML of the page. below is my asp.net/ c# logic i derived for examining the URL and then generate a full usable URL from whats pulled from the site...
NOTE:
origianlurl is the full url of the first searched page, and relativeUrl is a url found within the searched page (it can be a full www.site.com or a /contactus.html)
private string ResolveRelativePaths(string relativeUrl, string originatingUrl)
{
if (relativeUrl.StartsWith("http") || relativeUrl.StartsWith("www"))
return relativeUrl;
if (relativeUrl.StartsWith("/"))
{
//get main url something.com

I'm now getting into EF and from what I'm seeing so far, I wouldn't have to worry about writing stored procedures any more. Looks like EF takes care of all of that -- including INSERT's that store data in multiple tables. One of the things they taught us when learning stored procedures was that they're compiled which has performance benefits. How does EF 4 fare against using stored procedures?

View 4 RepliesSince Themes in ASP.NET are used to style elements of your site, I was just wondering why would you use Themes rather than CSS, or is it common practice to use both? If so, when would you opt for one versus the other and why?
Just seems to me like Themes are kind of unnecessary, so I am just looking on clarification if there really is a good reason to use them, or it's just a part of the framework as an alternative(unnecessary) step to styling your site.
I hate webform that no matter what action is done with a client side page(such as clicking a dropdownlist to only see the Items), it cause a postback&re-rendering of the whole page and all of the page events is raised( page_init,page_load....complete....).
We know that the server side .cs page shoudnt have to go through all the events and many methods(such as "IsPostback",viewstate), in fact,it just have to do only one thing:get data from DB for the dropdownlist and show it to us, other part of the page just doesnt have to change.
We may achieve this effect using Ajax, but the key is I dont wanna raise too many useless event .
seems MVC can handle such a problem, one action of browser side is replied by exactly one method,and time isnot waste by raise event...
Is this the biggest advantage of MVC?
