We are working on a project which has lots of routes that can be changed on-the-fly or new routes can be added dynamically. What are the best practices about managing lots of routes and adding routes on-the-fly without recompiling? Reading-Writing from-to database or from Xml Document in Application_Start?
View 4 RepliesI have the following routes setup in my route config file. I have a config reader that maps these to MVC-style routes.
[route name="customers" url="customers/{statename}/{marketname}/{pagenumber}"]
[controller name="Customers" action="Display" //route]
[route name="pcustomers" url="{customername}/customers/{statename}/{marketname}/{pagenumber}"]

I've added routes to my asp.net 4 website so that, for example the page: "~/Main/About/Careers.aspx" is mapped to the url: [URL] I'm using jquery to make an ajax call and it simply does not work after I've added the routing, I used the following code, and it remains stuck on the spinner image:
[Code]....
I'm trying to prevent direct file requests from being accepted, and have tried this:
[Code]....
None of these worked. I want the rule to exclude any file of any filename in any directory with a matching extension. How can this be done?
I am trying to create an Area for running DynamicData with scaffolding as an administration part. It's probably working as it should but I can't get the routing to work.
In my global.asax I have the following function to register the routes:
[Code]....
Unfortunately the "best" thing that happened to me so far was that when I check the default tables I get a message about (MetaModel.VisibleTables)
[Code]....
The problem is that I don't know why this is. Is it the routing or something else? Is it perhaps some security thing or can I not put dynamic data inside an area?
The DynamicData folder itself is located in the root of the application since that is the convention it uses and I have no intention to override that.
What is the common practice of input validation? In other words do you check for input validation on client-side, on server-side or on both sides?
Also, if performance is crucial to me, would just the client-side input validation be sufficient for my website without presenting any security risks?
I have a web application where users can upload the photo. I do have a windows service running which takes the uploaded photo and crops it to different sizes. This runs in a specified interval. Photo will be visible to the user once after it's cropped. So once user uploads the photo and photo cropper has not yet run, they wont be able to see the photo. Due to this behaviour user thinks that there was some error uploading the photo and they will upload it again and again.
where the photocropper runs immediately when the user uploads the photos which is queued.

I'm about to begin an ASP.NET MVC project and I'm not sure how to approach an aspect of the design. Basically, there is a user site and an admin site. In the admin sites, administartors design a form and send an e-mail link out to a handful of people. When the users click on the link, they are sent to the form.
Essentially what I'm wondering is what are the best practices when the model resembles looks more like a dictionary than a table?
In other words, instead of:
CREATE TABLE FormResponse (ResponseId, FormId, UserId, FirstName, LastName, BirthDay, Comments)
...containing 1 row per complete response
It's more like:
CREATE TABLE FormResponse (ResponseId, FormId, UserId, QuestionId, Value)
...containing 4 rows. 1 for the FirstName, 1 for the LastName, 1 for the BirthDay, and 1 for Comments.
I'm very new to MVC (just started 2 days ago), and I would like to know what the best practice is for outputing HTML.
I have a model named Tools.cs which contains the code below. It uses a stored procedure to return a recordset of menu items, and another to return a second level of menus for each first level menu. In another function, I then loop through the recordset and generate the HTML code to display the menu in a string, which is then returned.
I then have a controller MenuController.cs which calls the GetMenu method and puts the returned HTML string in the ViewData["RightMenu"].
I then have a view which displays the result.
My question is: would it be better practice to return my datareader to the controller into ViewData["RightMenu"], and then loop through it and construct my HTML in the View instead?How would I get that to work with that second level of menus?[Code]....

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) desktop applications, Silverlight Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), and Windows Phone 7 applications I was wondering whether a similar project (reference implementation) intended for software developers building WCF applications exists.
In our main internal project (a .Net WinForms rich client app), we don't talk directly with the database but instead fetch and update data with ASP.Net web-services that we also control. Our current setup is giving us some bottlenecks. For a new smallish project, we want to try WCF. Objective question: Where do I find a not-too-basic WCF reference project?
In my experience building web applications, I've always used a n-tier approach. A DAL that gets data from the db and populates the objects, and BLL that gets objects from the DAL and performs any business logic required on them, and the website that gets it's display data from the BLL.I've recently started learning LINQ, and most of the examples show the queries occurring right from the Web Application code-behinds(it's possible that I've only seen overly simplified examples). In the n-tier architectures, this was always seen as a big no-no.I'm a bit unsure of how to architect a new Web Application.
View 2 RepliesAll too often I find myself being required to design pages that flow through a series of steps. 1) Select from a set of options. Submit.2) Populate a page with results. Make changes. Submit.3) Do something based on the previous results. Submit.4) Confirm previous actions. Submit.5) Goto 1.An ecommerce site with shopping cart would be a textbook example of this.Now, there are any number of ways to deal with this. My question is, what is the recommended way to do it in asp.net? In PHP or ISAPI I would just use standard html controls, get the post data and do stuff with it, each on a different page
View 3 RepliesHere is the code of my Repository class:You see, I use singleton here. Also you see, there is a data context as class variable of Repository class.The main reason to use singleton here is a wish to avoid using 'using(NorthwindEntities context = new NorthwindEntities())' in every function.
[Code]....
This Repository is used in ASP.NET application. So only instance of NorthwindEntities (context) is used everywhere and that's why I never dispose it.So my question is: Won't this code cause connections to the DB that are not closed?

View 3 RepliesI would like to know what are the best practices in using Javascript in ASP.NET in a pre-AJAX and pre-jQuery era. What I meant by pre-era is not the time before AJAX/jQuery was created, but rather the time before it is popularized and widely adopted (by a significantly large number of programmers).i.e. Is it good thing to store the script in a string variable and register it on demand (RegisterClientScriptBlock) or on startup (RegisterStartUpScript)?Although in using Javascript in ASP.NET, its usage in PHP and JSP are also welcome.

View 2 RepliesThis question is for ASP.NET and SQL Server developers. What are your best practices with respect to setting up your development and test environment? I'm interesting in the following issues: How many tiers do you recommend and what goes on on each tier? Just dev, test, and production or perhaps dev, test, staging, and production? Which types of applications and/or servers should run on actual physical hardware and which can get away with a VM? What are your strategies for loosely coupling users from web sites, web developers from their web/app/DB servers, and DB developers from their DB servers?
How do developers stay "DRY?" What are the pros and cons to putting web, app, and DB servers on their own machines? Does putting servers on separate machines in order to minimize contention for a machine's resources trump any NIC and network latencies that might be introduced by putting them on different machines? How do you configure your web apps to minimize contention for resources (e.g. virtual directories, separate application pools, etc.) How and how often do you refresh your databases on each tier? Do you just refresh the data or both the data and objects?

I have a server that has been using ARR 2.0 on IIS 7. I recently added MVC 2.0 to my ASP.NET site. After adding it the ARR routes return the following error: The virtual path 'null' maps to another application, which is not allowed. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: The virtual path 'null' maps to another application, which is not allowed. Source Error:

In my web.config I can remove the modules attribute runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests and the ARR works, but it makes the MVC routes stop working.
I created an MVC 2 RTM Project and created 2 Areas (Admin and Applicants) The code belows was added into the global.asax: AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); I also ensured that duplicate Controllers were managed as i have a homecontroller in the root and the Admin Area. The code used was; new string [] {"MyAppName.Controllers"} This too went into the global.asax The error i got is below; A route named 'Applicants_default is already in the route collection. Route names must be unique. Parameter name: name how to resolve this?

View 3 RepliesWhen it comes to integrating your site with facebook, is it recommended to save all the user's info from Facebook to your DB, or is it recommended to query in real time all the info you need based on the user's id?
For example the avatar sizes are different on my site than on my facebook, so I may have no choice but to download the fb avatar, but for other things like name, gender, hometown, I was wondering if I need to save that data. Also, if I decide to change extended permissions at a later time, is that going to be an easy task?
