MVC 3 Adding Arbitrary Text To The End Of An ActionLink?
Feb 14, 2011
I have a question about Html.ActionLink.
Imagine:
@Html.ActionLink(item.title, "Singlet", new { id = item.blog_id })
produces http://[url]/[controller]/Singlet/[id]
But what if I want to suffix some more arbitrary data at the end? For example:
http://[url]/[controller]/Singlet/[id]/#comments
To jump to the comments div. I know I can just make the string myself with something like:
@( new HtmlString(String.Format("<a href="Blog/Singlet/{0}/#comments">link to comments</a>", item.blog_id)) )
But I am hoping there is a cleaner way, perhaps with ActionLink?

I'm looking for a good way to add arbitrary properties to the objects in a strongly typed list, based on the principle that I shouldn't pass a DataTable from my business layer to my presentation layer.For example, I might have a Category class with the properties CategoryId and Title. On one page I would like to fetch a list of all categories (ie. List<Category>) together with the most expensive product in each category.A while ago, I would have just returned a DataTable with some additional columns in it with the product data in, but I'm trying not to do that -- it would be trivial to set up it's not good practice. One option is to add a MostExpensiveProduct property to my Category class, but I might want to display the most recently added product in another case, or the cheapest product, so I'd end up adding a lot of properties to cover all the options. This just doesn't feel right to me.Am I missing a trick here? What is the best way of doing this? Or should I just be returning a DataTable to which I can add as many columns as I need and not worry about it?

Is it possible to say something to the effect of 'SomeClass.Out.WriteLine("hello world")' and have it actually show up for the browser to render? I ask, because I notice that the HtmlHelper BeginForm implements IDisposible. So at the end of the using block, a closing tag is written to the browser.I am not saying I would use this practice, as it seems like a bad idea, but I just want a better understanding of what is going on under the hood of C# ASP MVC.

If I were to respond to an http request with a plain text in PHP, I would do something like:
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/plain');
echo "This is plain text";
?>
How would I do the equivalent in ASP.NET?

By default, links are created without the forward slash suffixed to the end. It is per our company standards to always have this trailing slash. Is it possible, via a configuration or whatever, to automatically have a forward slash whenever these methods are called?

I am looking for some adivce about the possbility of doing the following while working whith MVC. Firstly sorry if the subject line is not very descriptive. I have put something together in ASP WebForms where by I can put a few core fields on my page that identify an object, e.g. a Name and ID... and then I can add arbritrary fields to the aspx page that are now saved and retrieved with the "owning object". These extra fields are stored in a seperate table on the database to the primary object fields. A short explanation of how this works:
1. I have my own version of TextBox (and other input controls) called r3d:TextBox (etc.) and this text box has XmlParent and XmlElement tags, this is done by way of an interface.
2. I have a r3dBase page that all my forms inherit from and this page check for the existstance of any r3d:TextBox (and other input controls) that have the XmlParen and XmlElement tag defiened.
3. When an iheriting form is saved the controls with the Xml tags defined are also saved, but I don't have to change any code in the code behind pages. The framework I have put in place takes care of this for me. The data is saved
4. When an inheriting page is loaded all controls with the XmlParent and XmlElement tags are populated with any data that has previously been saved for them that belong to the main object being displayed on the page.
This provides for a nice easy way for me to extend my forms with non core data when clients request new fields. It also means that different clients can request different new fields and I don't have to make any modifications to the core objects. I have another mechanism that determins what fields are seen by which clients.
Anyway I am completely new to MVC (not written a single line of code) so I have no idea as to whether this paradigm will lend itself to the above described mechanisms or not. Does any one have anythoughts about this, approaches I might try to achive the above to of functionality or perhaps completely different suggestions that would achive a similar end that might work well with MVC

We have a web portal product from which we customize portals from customers. We use the precompiled web app and create a virtual directory (vd) where the customization resides. In addition to this we do some changes web.config in the web app folder. We would obviously like to keep these customizations under TFS source control.
When I try to add the precompiled web app (which I don't want to add to source control), a warning tells me that the vds cannot be added. If I only add the folder that is referenced to by the vd, I lose the references to assemblies in the precompiled web app.
My questions are:
How do I structure a solution for adding IIS (sub application level) virtual directories and still retain the references to assemblies? Is it possible to add other directories/files from the web application level (like App_Theme, web.config etc.) to the solution?
Since we already use Visual Source Safe, we have established a tree structure for each customization project:
Project Root
|
|-Custom Sql
|
|-Custom Portal Files (which is added as a virtual directory)
|
|-Other Customizations
I could probably do a lot of this manually through the source control explorer, but I'd like to have everything done through a solution.
I've followed the instructions using this article: [URL], but this doesn't address the exact problem that I have. Oh, and we are currently using Visual Source Safe for portal customizaton, but are eager to make the move to TFS.

My skills are failing me, and I know I've seen the code around for this but I can't find it. What's the quickest way to take any arbitrary URL, run it through your asp.net mvc routing system, and come out with a reference to a controller instance on the other end?For example, code execution is inside some arbitrary controller method. I want to do something like this:
...
string myURL = "[URL]";
RouteData fakeRouteData = new RouteData(Route???, IRouteHandler???)
RequestContext ctxt = new RequestContext(this.ControllerContext.HttpContext,
fakeRouteData);
ControllerFactory factory = ControllerBuilder.Current.GetControllerFactory();
Controller result = factory.CreateController(ctxt, controllername???)
I'm trying to get an instance of a controller just like the routing system does, regardless of where the code is executing. I'm unclear as to how to fit the pieces together at this point.

Is it possible to set the Inherits attribute of an ASPX Page directive to a class in an arbitrary assembly?
I need to modify an ASP.NET (1.1) application for which the source code was lost. In a new assembly (foo2.dll) I've created a replacement code-behind class that derives from the original class in the site's code-behind assembly (foo.dll). It seems easy enough to set the Inherits attribute of the Page directive to the new class name, but when I do that the web server gives me Could not load type 'Foo2.checkout2'. I am referencing the new assembly in the <assemblies> section of Web.config.
I don't see anything in the documentation to indicate that this scenario is unsupported, but I'm not certain that it is, either.
Original
<%@ Page Inherits="Foo.checkout" language="c#" Codebehind="checkout.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" %>
New
<%@ Page Inherits="Foo2.checkout2" CodeFile="checkout2.aspx.cs" CodeFileBaseClass="Foo.checkout" language="c#" Codebehind="checkout.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" %>

I want to write own control which can contain other. And I want to define content of the control in the .aspx file where the control is defined. I have written such control.

The following samle illustrates the issue: I defined two asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1" and ID="ddl2" One of them is inside of my control and other is outside. When posback is occurred asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1 loses state and becomes empty. How to say ASP.net to store state of inner controls defined by this way?

I have two text boxes called starttime and endtime which are datetime sqldbtypes that I want to subtract the value to show in a duration label. I know that you can do a subtraction with datediff in t-sql to find the time difference, and I'm wondering if that's the best way to approach this. Here is the code from my default.aspx.vb page:

I saw this thread but it doesnt quite cover what I'm looking for:[URL]I have two text boxes that will have a start time and an end time and what I want to do is to calculate the "duration" of the time between them while also accounting if a time starts before midnight on one day and ends on the next day (or any other day for that matter.)

I am trying to combine text and an image on a LinkButton:
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnTest" runat="server" Text="Book">
<asp:Image ID="imgTest" runat="server" Height="8px" ImageUrl="~/DropDownArrow.png" Width="10px" />
</asp:LinkButton>
So far, this works.
However, if I change the text of the LinkButton in the code-behind, I lose the image.
btnTest.Text = "New book name"
I have tried removing the LinkButton's controls in the code-behind and recreating the image along with changing the text, but it still doesn't work. I get either the image or the text but not both.
btnTest.Controls.Clear()
Dim NewImage As New Image
With NewImage
.Height = Unit.Pixel(8)
.ImageUrl = "~/DropDownArrow.png"
.Width = Unit.Pixel(10)
End With
btnTest.Controls.Add(NewImage)
btnTest.Text = "New book name"
How can I change the text in the code-behind and still retain the image as well?

I'm trying to add a text-only item to a databound menu control. So far all I'm capable of doing is adding more links, but no text. My goal is to have a leading item be part of the menu but not a link. I want it to be displayed as text...
I've tried adding items to the menu.items collection, but this adds links.
I've tried adding items to the menu.controls collection, but this doesn't get picked up at all, just ignored.
