MVC :: MVC In A Web Site - How To Enable Scaffolding
Jan 8, 2010
With the help of this excellent step-by-step guide (http://jon-ilgrim.blogspot.com/2008/10/aspnet-mvc-web-site-template.html), I was able to convert an ASP.NET Web Site to be MVC enabled. However, I do not get all those nice wizards - for example, right-clicking in the project area and selecting Add -> Controller or -> add View.There are several sites that describe enabling this by adding a ProjectTypeGuid in the project file, but web sites do not have a project file.Is there anyone out there who has gotten this working in a Web Site?
I'm using VS 2008 Pro SP1 with ASP.NET MVC 1.0. When I try to create a strongly typed view, I cannot choose a model class. If I type the class name manually, the view type listbox is disabled, any previously chosen value is reverted to Empty.
I've been using an asp 3.0 widget for this purpose , but it been broken for a while and rather than get it back up, I'd love o get a native asp.net solution, can any one point me in the right direction pleaseI once wrote some asp.net code to do this, but the permissions on the server, which I found to be common every where prevented asp.net native picture upload, perhaps i got it wrong, well now I wanna fix itI need the code to work in a shared hosting IIS 7 environment. I use vb.net, but can usually convert c# to vb.net
I need to enable compression to speed up my site.However, I only found way to do it via action filter which requires me to put [compress] action filter to every actions.such as; [URL]aspxThis is quite lots of work and I may miss an aciton which is not desiable.So, is there a way to enable compression site level? I mean, by changing config or put code in request handler to support compression.Also, action fileter approach doesn't compress javascript or css.How do you support compression? Is there a way to support it?I heard that there is a way to do it via IIS, but my hosting site doesn't support this.
If I have a asp.net site for desktop, what should I do to enable smart phones ?By mistake I added a / to the URL and I noticed that the desktop web site was simple, no buttons, just URL links set to a side.
I have a program which I would like to publish to my company's intranet server so that employees are able to implement updates. I am not sure how to go about this but I have done some research on IIS and I was wondering if anyone could clue me in a little more with what I need to do. I have not yet downloaded IIS to give it a try as I'm not sure where I would go from there.
am working on a new site and i want to do tothings for security1. I want to encrypt the password of the user who register on my site and also decrypt it to enable him in login again.2. I will make an online exams so I want to disable the user functions to hack the exams materials such as (print page, print screen , or even selecting data manual by mouse )I googled a lot about this matter I found java scripts to make this but what about the users who will disable scripts on their browsers. So I want to do this with C# Code.
I was reading this article, http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/01/10/asp-net-mvc-2-strongly-typed-html-helpers.aspx, and that looks very interesting. However I wonder if there is a way, or probably attribute, available with which I can prevent auto scaffolding of certain properties of my model?
I need your advises regarding the scaffolding with my current application, I use ASP.NET Web Application from the menu but later on I would like use scaffolding top-up the exist application. I am NOT sure, Can I use scaffolding with my exist application without need going to Dynamic Data Web Application? BTW: my application needs users registration and authentication based on ASP.NET solution, and this will NOT work with Dynamic Data Web Application.
Is there any existing software for generating a UserControl from a table of a database?
For example, my table contain 3 fields : name , last name , age.
The software generates a user control that has 3 labels and textboxes with validation and submit button and a gridview for displaying information , etc..
Can I seek some advice here if I want to incorporate some automated scaffolding in my MVC 2 web application what is the best way to go? Should I be considering: MVC 2 Templated Helpers, or Dynamic Data (with support for Entity Framework) Roughly speaking I want to layout my own website layout in MVC 2 but then:
for high usage use cases custom define the page, for CRUD maintenance pages hook the website menu to point to some scaffolded auto-generated pages (i.e. it is for this item that I ask the above question). I've had a look at the Dynamic Data pages where you can add/edit/delete all aspects of an EF entity, so it's this type of thing I'm after (e.g. have an Edit Person menu link that when click launches an auto maintenance page for Person)
Shouldn't ScaffoldColumn(false) hide the field in the view? I create a strongly typed CREATE view (AddSO), expecting that the soID column won't be rendered and that the Label name of the field 'name' will be 'Full Name'. But the AddSO view renders the soID column and still labels the 'Name' field as 'Name. What am I doing wrong?
I am using the Html.DisplayFor() and Html.EditorFor() helper methods to auto-scaffold a Display view and Edit view for a Municipality entity.
My Application layer is used to retrieve a Municipality class:
[Code]....
For the Display view this entity is mapped to a DisplayMunicipality class containing Display meta data:
[Code]....
For the Edit view this entity is mapped to an EditMunicipality class containing Edit meta data:
[Code]....
This works fine but it requires a lot of extra code, not only the code mentioned above but also all kinds of conversions inside my controller.
Is it possible to put the meta data in the Municipality class that is returned from the Application layer? In that case I need some mechanism to specify that a property should be shown in the Display view or Edit view.
I don't know if this is possible but I would like to customize some of the HTML helpers autogenerated in the template. For example, I would like to replace the LabelFor with something that will allow me to specify an image with the label and also a ToolTip property so when you hover over the label you get the tool tip.
I would like use Dynamic Data to scaffolding my table forms, and I followup this link [URL] The problem I cannot find Dynamic Data when I create web project. My .Net version is 3.5 and my Visual Studio 2008 Professional full installation. How I can install ASP.NET Dynamic Data and use it with Visual Studio 2008?
I have a requirement where I have to transfer a user from Web Site 1 on Server A to web Site 2 on Server B.
On Web Site 1, I have to provide controls to enter user id and password and which have to be validated on Web Site 2 on server B, after validating them I have to redirect the user to Web site 2.
what is best way fo doing it. code examples are greatly appreciated.
Note: On Web Site 2, user login functionality is already existing and it is provided by ASP.Net login control, am not sure how to handle the user login process from two different places.
or is it the best way to move Web Site 2 from Server B to Server A so that, the same login controls will be shown using Iframe on Web Site A.
Using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I was used to creating a web app anytime and I would get a default page for starters and be happy. But today I find that when I pick either the ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application templates I get site.master and a bunch of site admin files that I don't want. Alternately when I select the empty versions of those templates, I get almost nothing at all. An almost empty web.config page and no Default.aspx page. There is nothing magical about having a default.aspx page in place, but it is an indicator of a change when I can only get a virtually completely empty website or a website with a bunch of bells and whistles I don't want.
Also, for some reason, when I create a new app or website as just noted, in the Solution Explorer I get aspx.designer.cs files showing as well as web.config files for both debug and release. Somehow some settings and templates must have changed, or am I missing something here? How can I get my settings/templates to go back to the way they were?
I am having a little difficulty trying to wrap my head around site structures. I have quite a large asp.net site, for which: Admins can see a user list, Each user can have many accounts, and for each account can have many items. I can picture this as a breadcrumb trail of editing a particular item. User List > Mr Bob > Accounts > BOB77 > Items > Item32 > Edit
User List = All the users Mr Bob = A user the administrator has selected from the User List Accounts = A list of the user's accounts 12BOB = The administrator has selected the account named 12BOB Items = A list of the items an account contains Item32 = The item that the administrator selected Edit = The action that the administrator wants to do. I can picture how this would look like if it was using ASP.NET MVC with the URL, but I am unsure how to map this out using Webforms, and in the physical filesystem.
This is what I have thought up about how I am guessing the physical structure would look like. Will this have to use session variables to achieve what I am trying to do?
/Users/User/Edit.aspx <- for editing a user /Users/User/View.aspx <- for viewing a user /Users/User/Accounts/Default.aspx <- for viewing all accounts /Users/User/Accounts/Account/View.aspx <- for viewing an account /Users/User/Accounts/Account/Edit.aspx <- for editing an account /Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Default.aspx <- for viewing all items in an account /Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Item/Edit.aspx <- for editing an item
Where can I read more about this kind of setup in a web application? Or, can someone point me in the direction of an available project that has this kind of layout?

i have an asp.net website which contains a link to a legacy site written in classic asp which has vb 6 classes (dll) in the back ground also.here is what i am trying to achieve:-i want to browse to the asp.net website using IE7,then when the link is clicked then enters the classic asp site i want to start debugging the classic asp and step through it.(also to make things worse, once a the vb6 class is instanciated, and a call make to its method i want to debug the method in the vb 6 code)My system :- XP Pro, IIS 5, Visual Studio 2005 (asp.net project ), Visual interdev 6 (classic asp project) Visual Basic 6 (vb 6 classes compiled into dll)i have been trying everything with no joy, there is lots on the net but nothing seems to have worked.i have the back office components installed so asp debugging is possible, i have configured the asp website s debugging is turned on.if i add a breakpoint to the classic asp site and hit the start button in visual interdev i can step through it fine.My problem is that if i attach interdev to a process (iexplorer.exe or dll.host) then the breakpoints are not hit. if anyone can help me with this it would be great.ont top of that, if anyone can explain to me how to also debug the vb6 dll code in visual basic 6 when it is called from the classic asp site that would be great!
I have 2 sites, one the main product site the other a secure site featuring the basket and checkout processes.
When a user clicks "add item to basket" I am creating a basket in a database and then adding the items to the basket. The theory was then to store the id from the database for the basket (the basketid) in a cookie, redirect the user to secure site, use the basket id from the cookie and display the contents in the basket.
However I am having trouble getting the secure site to use the same cookie. When I redirect the users to the secure site, the basket appears empty. I need to go back to the main site and then back to secure before the cookie appears.
Here is the code for the cookie
[Code]....
And then on the secure site this is how it gets the basket ID from the cookie
[Code]....
But like I say it's having problems. I've tried replacing the cookies with session variables as well but it didn't work.
