I have an application which has been built in MVC 2.0. I need to upgrade it to MVC 3.0 and that too by using Razor CSHTML engine. All the information which I got on the net was for MVC 3.0 Webform engine but nothing much for migrating to Razor.
how do I change the view engine from aspx to razor in an existing project? If I just change the file extension to cshtml I always get "The controller for path '/path/About' was not found or does ..."
I have looked all over for elegant solutions to this not so age-old question. How can I lock down form elements within an ASP.Net MVC View, without adding if...then logic all over the place? Ideally the BaseController, either from OnAuthorization, or OnResultExecultion, would check the rendering form elements and hide/not render them based on role and scope. Another approach I have considered is writing some sort of custom attributes, so as to stay consistent with how how we lock down ActionResults with [Authorize]. Is this even possible without passing a list of hidden objects to the view and putting if's all over? Other background info: We will have a database that will tell us at execution time (based on user role/scope) what elements will be hidden. We are using MVC3 with Razor Viewengine. We're utilizing a BaseController where any of the Controller methods can be overridden.
Is there any tool out there which can upgrade an MVC project from MVC2 to MVC3 and at the same time upgrades to the ViewEngine Razor or must I do this work manually everytime a new MVC version is released?
I have a project who build in MVC 1 and i make a new fresh project to migrate them in MVC 3. so it's work fine. but whenever it's come to done or complete we hear that not make changes in Admin panel.so i copy paste the model [logic module] from MVC 1 to MVC3 and now many of code was not worked. they used dll to use logic. when i try to use them in my project who is new version that's not worked.now i thing to migrate the MVC 1 project to MVC 3 and the taks and changes i do last days i integrated in old one.well tell me the way i can use to migrate the MVC 1 project to MVC 3 razor without making new project. means changes in old and make them work fine in razor.
I'm upgrading a regular asp.net project to asp.net mvc 3 (RC2) with Razor syntax. I got stuck now trying to figure out some way to create nested master pages. My main "layout" page contains the default header & footer. I used
[Code]....
When I now try to make a view page use the AuthLayout as a "layout" page:
[Code]...
Then I receive this error: The "RenderBody" method has not been called for layout page "~/Views/Shared/_AuthLayout.cshtml".
If I look at the Razor View Engine, then I see a very nice and concise syntax that is not particularly tied to generating html. So I wonder, how easy would it be to use the engine outside asp.net in a "normal" .net environment for example to generate text, code,...
I have a Razor view of type Joke. Here is the relationship between the Entity Joke and the Entity Rating:
I have done eager loading in my HomeController to get the Ratings from the Database. But I seem to be unable to get a count of the ratings that belong to a particular joke. Here is the error I get:
I can't seem to figure out how to set a breakpoint in a Razor view. I understand why that might seem a little weird and may be difficult since a cshtml file is a combination of html and then c# code, but I can step into it. The ability to step into it makes it seem like I should be able to set a breakpoint. Am I missing how to do this or is this not possible in the RC? If not any plans to add this before RTM or in the future?
How can I render a razor view in a Unit Test?When I change for instance a html helper method, I sometimes forget to update all the views which uses that html method. So the view I forgot generates a YSOD.I would like to create unit tests that renders a view and fails if I forgot to make the neccecary updates.
In my controller method, I'm trying to create an instance of a View (cshtml file) before I wrap it around an ActionResult and return it.Since there is no "class" for Razor Views to speak off, how does one go about creating an instance of a Razor View?
What is the best way to add javascript at runtime from a view (or partialview)? For example i would like to build a partial view Banner.cshtml that use Banner.Js. Actually i am using a section into layout page but obviusly if i use 3 times the same partial view i have 3 reference to external Js. Is there a "best practice" to include Js from "child" elemnts like partial view in this case?
is there a way to execute a razor view dynamically? if i have the view code as a string can i execute it and pass it a model as a parameter for example?
