How To Use Areas With Controllers From A Different Assembly
Jan 29, 2011
I'm starting a new ASP.NET MVC project, and I decided to put my controllers in a different assembly. Evertyhing works fine, but I have hit a problem: I created a new area in my MVC Project, called Administration. I have an AdminController Class in my seperate assembly which is supposed to return views from my Admin area, but everytime it tries to return a view, it looks for it in the wrong place (~/Admin/SomeView.cshtml Instead of ~/Administration/Admin/SomeView.cshtml) How can I tell the controller to look for views in the wanted area?

Does the current MvcRouteHandler support something similar to Monorail's concept of an controller area? a way to group the controllers.

I would like to have a project that contains all of my Controller logic. I'm not concerned with using Areas, as these are still maintained within the same project. Consider this scenario: I have multiple sites/apps that require the exact same interaction in regards to a particular area, say CRUD ops on a user account. I do not want to create all of the controller logic for one site/app, recreate it again for the next, and make sure that I keep all maintenance to each in sync. I would prefer to keep the controllers in a separate project and reference them from the appropriate site.
I know someone will say that the controller logic is a lot of times specific to the application (as I've read elsewhere), but let's just say that it is guaranteed to be the same. I want to focus on the "how" and not the "why". So far, I've created a class library project with the appropriate references for accessing System.Web.Mvc. How do I proceed with the routing configuration for this? Is this idea even possible? I read a few older articles that were written when Areas were first being introduced that said to create separate projects for them. Is this idea similar to that?

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

I have recently discovered that I am affected by this bug http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg71515.html
Well,at http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg71529.html they say the work around is to create a global policy assembly and redirect the assemblies that way since it is not read from the web.config.
How do you actually do what they describe there? There is a huge documentation gap in that area with Mono.Also,I can't just recompile the assembly to use the new Mono assembly versions because the assembly is closed source.(but it does work with Mono.)

Before using any class in your website project/page we have to add it's assembly reference to our project. Right?
Now, when I am using SmtpClient class from System.Net assembly after adding the System.Net.Mail namespace in namespace node of application's web.config file but without adding assembly reference to the project, it still accepting and running the code. Why?
I enquired the machine's web.config file located at C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727CONFIG but didnt find assembly reference for System.Net there also.
So bit confused how it is working and where the assembly reference has been added and how?

I just want to create Shared Assembly and use that assembly in our application.I am using VS 2005.
Step 1
I am trying to build a dll.
Create class library project <TestDllHell>.
Under that project add CalculationArea.cs file.
[Code]....
Then TestDllHell.dll add into GAC successfully.
Now I want to use it in my Website project so did the following steps but unable to view that dll in .Net Reference List Box.
•I go for Run regedit to edit the Windows Registry.
•Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft.NETFrameworkAssemblyFolders key.
•Right click on the AssemblyFolders key, then select New > Key. Enter the name of your assembly (without the .dll extension).
•Double click on the key's (Default) value. The Edit String dialog will appear. Enter the full path of the folder where your assembly resides. Note that all assemblies in that folder will appear in the Visual Studio list.
•IMPORTANT! You must exit and restart Visual Studio to see your assembly in the Add Reference dialog.
My question is that
How can I get that dll in my add reference assembly List .Net section?
And if I modify that dll(TestDllHell.dll) then again register in GAC then version will be different,So how can I told my client application that which dll you choose?

I'm following this blog post about setting up ELMAH with MVC: [URL] I've only done part 1. Everything works correctly if I simply go to the Home controller, and then cause an error. I can view /elmah.axd as well, and my errors are logging in the database correctly.
However, I've added an area to my application named Admin. If I navigate to /Admin, I receive the following error:
System.MissingMethodException: No parameterless constructor defined for this object.
public override IController CreateController(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName)
{
var controller = base.CreateController(requestContext, controllerName); //Error here
var c = controller as Controller;
I'm assuming this has something to do with my Area.
EDIT for jfar:
For instance, I have an Employees controller in my Admin area:
public class EmployeesController : Controller
{
private IEmployeesRepository employeesRepository;
public EmployeesController(IEmployeesRepository employeesRepository)
{
this.employeesRepository = employeesRepository;
}
//...
}

To use separation of concern and to optimize the clearness of the controllers we decided to split each action of a controller into different controllers (FunctionalLocationEditController, FunctionalLocationCreateController and such).
Problem now is the Global.asax is currently a bit big for just a few pages registered in routes.
We would need to use an area type of mechanism but for business reason we are not ready to upgrade just yet to MVC2.
Basically, is there a way in MVC1 to map the Urls to something like <folder>/<controller>/<action> ?

Been starting a new project (MVC 2) based on the first version of the same application (MVC 1).In the first we breaked out Controllers and Views into seperate projects, which resuted in a clean and organized structure.Now with version 2, I've been reading about this "Areas".Keeping the old structure and using areas sounds like overkill to me. Keeping the old way OR use Areas is what I'm trying to decide on.Just wanted to hear your thoughts about this.... Is it really that usefull (ie have other benifits)? No use to make some major changes just because something is there IMHO

I am wondering if MVC offers a handy function to iterate through all areas. I know I can search the sub-directories of Areas to achieve this. I am just curious.

is there some way to share a partial razor view between areas? For example a login partial, it is found if i use @Html.Partial("_LoginPartial") but the URLs Html.ActionLink generates are local to the calling area (even though the partial itself is not part of the area).
_LoginPartial.cshtml is in /Views/Shared/_LoginPartial.cshtml
Calling view is inside /Areas/Somearea/Views
Links generated are like: [URL]
But should always be: [URL]
Partial view source:
@if(Request.IsAuthenticated) {
<text>Welcome <b>@Context.User.Identity.Name</b>!
[ @Html.ActionLink(@Messages.Logout, "Logout", "Account") ]</text>
}
else {
@:[ @Html.ActionLink(@Messages.Login, "Login", "Account") ]
}

If I create an Area, does it have to reside off of the root? Or can I create it in a sub-folder? If so, how to you set the MapRoute so you can navigate to rootSecureAreasAdmin?

I created an Area in my application named Admin. It's pretty basic, looks like this:
Areas
Admin
Controllers
CompaniesController.cs
Models
Views
Companies
Index.aspx
AdminAreaRegistration.cs
When I try to view my Index page by going to /Admin/Companies, I get a "The resource cannot be found" message. I find it weird that I don't get any sort of error message.

I want to structure my ASP.NET MVC 2 web application sensibly using Areas. The application consists of the two main parts Website which is the default part and Dashboard which administrates the site using a CMS. (Probably, more Areas will follow later on.)
How do I structure my project best? Should I ...
create the Area Dashboard and put the stuff belonging to the Website part into the main application folder or should I create both Areas Website and Dashboard?
Additionally, where should I place my Entity Data Model and the corresponding Repository classes that have to be accessed by both Areas?

I have two areas: Frontend and Backend - I would like to have two different error pages - so I have two files NotFound in /Areas/Frontend/Views/Shared/NotFound and /Areas/Backend/Views/Shared/NotFound. I have added also to Web.config in area Frontend:
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="Error">
<error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="/Areas/Frontend/Views/Shared/NotFound" />
</customErrors>
and in area Backend in Web.config:
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="Error">
<error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="/Areas/Backend/Views/Shared/NotFound" />
</customErrors>
But when I come in bad website url - for example: http://localhost/Backend/blablabla I don't see my NotFound website but:
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.
Requested URL: /Backend/blablabla

This page is a directory search, it has controls identified by record ID, however there exists a situation where there can be more than one result with the same record ID, thus making .NET barf. I had originally implemented a check that just didn't put the control on the page, if it was already there, but we've been getting negative feedback.
My question is this: Is there a way to put the same control in two places at once, for instance having if a user checks one, the corresponding one checks as well? I'm not terribly well versed in how .NET behaves, but I'll try to provide as much additional context as possible, if needed.
EDIT: Here's the updated code that generates the controls by looping over a datatable of results
Dim cbxSendInfo As CheckBox
Dim strCheckboxID As String = "cbxSendInfo-" & drOrganizer("ID") & "-" & i
Debug.text = Debug.text & " Loading Checkbox (" & strCheckboxID & ")...<br />"
cbxSendInfo = New CheckBox
cbxSendInfo.ID = strCheckboxID
cbxSendInfo.enableViewState = true
And here's the code that finds the controls and builds the contact list:
Dim strCheckboxID As String = "cbxSendInfo-" & drOrganizer("ID") & "-" & i
Dim cbxSendInfo As CheckBox = Me.tblResults.FindControl(strCheckboxID)
If cbxSendInfo.Checked Then
alOrganizers.Add(drOrganizer("ID"))
End If
Where drOrganizer("ID") is the record ID, and i is the result record number.
I know this is a terrible way to do this, at least from my background, but like I said, this is inherited code that's been hacked to pieces.

I am not sure how to explain my current issue. Right now I have a Form that spans a couple of pages. I have divided the Form into multiple section as well including a File Upload section, a File Download section, and have an 'Update' button at the bottom of the Form. I also have Error labels within each section, and have an Error label at the bottom of the Form under the 'Update' button.The problem that I am experiencing right now is that when I produce one of these errors, the Form automatically displays the very top of the page. So in other words, if the error message is displayed at the bottom of the Form, the user has no idea unless they scroll all the way down.Is there anyway to keep the application focus at the area where the button is clicked on? This way if the user produces an error, they will see it right away.
