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'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.
View 2 RepliesWith 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?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 5 RepliesIs 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)
The partial class:
[Code]....
In the controller:
[Code]....
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.

View 1 RepliesSo what I'm trying to accomplish is this
[Code]....
The user control has public properties named accordingly and the page has protected properties accordingly which I've verified have the desired values.
For some reason the values are always empty strings or 0s in the usercontrol, no matter what the page property is.
Can anyone add a complete input about how to create Parent Property with multiple child properties or in short nested properties.
Example: Style tag: which has properties like font, color, display... etc? which accept objects and its value.

As soon as Rainbow property is typed, user should get intellisense for list of number of colors. Then accordingly user can select list of those colors and assign a value to them.
Is there any difference between accessing a property that has a backing field
private int _id;
public int Id
{
get { return _id; }
set { _id = value; }
}
versus an auto-property?
public int Id { get; set; }
The reason I'm asking is that when letting ReSharper convert a property into an auto property it seems to scan my entire solution, or at least all aspx-files.
I can't see any reason why there should be any difference between the two from outside the class. Is there?
In the Web.Config we have a timeout property. Ex:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Login.aspx" timeout="2880"/>
</authentication>
When loggin in, we can specify a ticket expiry date. Ex:
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
1, id.ToString(), DateTime.Now, expiryDate, true,
securityToken, FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath);
Why there's two places where I can set expiration info about forms-authentication? What's the difference between them? What has more relevance?
Is it possible to use InvokeMember() of Type class to call a property of a property of a class?

View 5 RepliesI have a masterpage that contains all the javascript and inside the content control, there is a link that calls a javascript function and I want to pass the id once it's rendered differently by the server.
<asp:TextBox ID="txtstart" runat="server" Width="20%"></asp:TextBox>
<a title="Pick Date from Calendar" onclick="calendarPicker('<% txtstart.ClientId %>');" href="javascript:void(0);">
However, I keep getting this error:
Property access must assign to the property or use its value.
How would I be able to accomplish this?
how can I use a Required Validation in a property Prop2 only if the Prop1 is true?
public bool Prop1 { get; set; }
[Required] // I need this validation only if the Prop1 is true.

I wondered what the difference between
'dbo.Property' and 'Property'

I have a type that is derived from an Entity generated by the Entity Framework 3. How do I assign one Customer's Order property to the Derived Customer's Order property?
derivedCustomer.Orders = customer.Orders
