MVC :: Routes Uniqueness And SEO - Using Id And Name As Parameters In The Actions?
Feb 2, 2010
I am using the Default Route as follows:
routes.MapRouteLower("Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" });
However, beacause of SEO I would also like to filter not by id but by name. Something like: Product/Show/RedBall instead of Product/Show/2345 And if RedBall is not unique what would be a good approach to do this? Maybe start using the following: Product/Show/2345/RedBall Using Id and Name as parameters in the actions?

I have an MVC action on my abstract BaseControlller like this (and this action is common across all inheriting controllers):
//
// GET: /controller/RenderForm/{formType}
[Authorize(Roles = "Administrators")]
public ActionResult RenderForm(FormType formType, BaseContentObject contentObject)
[code]...

In my Asp.net MVC app, I have two methods on a controller, one for when the user first arrives on the view and then one when they submit the form on said view.
public ActionResult Foo() {}
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Foo(string id, Account accountToFoo) {}
In the second action, there's a custom model binder that's assembling the account object that I'm acting on, though that's really not important. This all works fine in testing locally on a server.We try to be pretty good about writing unit tests to test all our different views are properly getting routed to, including those that are HTTP POST. To do so, we've been using mvccontrib's test helper.
Testing gets have been super simple
"~/account/foo/myusername".
Route().
ShouldMapTo<AccountController>(c => c.Foo("myusername"));
My question is in testing POST routes, how do I write the lambda that I would use to verify the post is receiving accurate values, similar to the GET test above?
For a POST, it looks something like:
"~/account/foo".
WithMethod(HttpVerbs.Post).
ShouldMapTo<AccountController>(a => something_something);
It's the something_something portion of my lambda that I'm having trouble with. Using arbitrary values doesn't work ("a => a.Foo(0, new Account()"). How would I specify the expected values as part of the test?EDIT I was hoping there was something akin to the way Moq has lambdas for statements such as foo.Setup(s => s.Foo(It.IsAny(), It.Is(i => i > 32)) and so on. Even I have to explicitly supply the values, that's workable--I just can't seem to grok the desired structure to pass those explicit values.

I am getting an exception that child actions are not allowed to perform redirect actions. Although I can understand that this might is true in most situations I do believe that the framework might allow this to pass when a Child Action is calling another child action like in this example:
I have this code in my CountryController (I compacted it a bit but the main concept remains that I have a controller with Child Actions only):
[Code]....
This exception is being thrown:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Child actions are not allowed to perform redirect actions. Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Child actions are not allowed to perform redirect actions.

I have various questions about validation using data annotations. I am using the following setup
asp.net mvc 2
entity framework 4
data annotations
Basically, I'm trying to get unique validation working and i'm a little confused. My models are as follows:
public class Buyer
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "The email is required")]
public string Email { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage= "The name is required")]
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public class Seller
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "The email is required")]
public string Email { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage= "The name is required")]
public string Name { get; set; }
}...............................................

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.

In my actions, I want to pre-load the User object and set some other properties, all BEFORE the action loads. I know there are events where I can do this, but how will these objects that I set be made available in my controller's actions once the filter fires and execution is now at the action level?
example:
public actionresult SomeAction()
{
string username = this.CurrentUser.username;
}

Means I want to know how many actions a View.For example, in the registration page.I have a button-Register and Login button. In the controller I have a registration action, an action Login. So how can I distinguish between those actions.

Like most web applications you have a method that gets called when you log in. There are a few things that may need to get done when logged in and over time this may increase. eg. logging, welcome emails, maintenance. Should events be used to do this or is there a better way?? I'm using C# and ASP.net MVC. Update This is already in its on Service Layer class. eg.
public void Login(User user)
{
SetAuthCookie(user);
LogLogin(user, true);
SendEmails();
}

Is there a way to easily passed around an ID between controller actions on the same controller?I.E. I have an Index action which takes an ID parameter, and when a user creates a new post I would like them to go back to the index page with the same ID.Currently I am just passing it around in my view model, but it seems real cumbersome and I was wondering if there was a better way to do this?

I have a controller with the following actions...
public ActionResult YellowList()
public ActionResult RedList()
public ActionResult BlueList()
All these actions populate the same viewModel (ListViewModel).
How do I get them all to point to the same view (aspx)?

I'm trying to create a log that would keep a history of changes for a given item. For example on [HttpPost] Edit page I would log a change for a given article. So i've created a filterAttribute that would execute once the Edit action has completed successfully:
public class LogAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
private int type; [code]...
I tried this:
filterContext.ActionDescriptor.GetParameters()
but this only returns "strings" as a parameter. "objectId" however is stored in a hidden field on the edit page.

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:

Stack Trace:

In my web.config I can remove the modules attribute runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests and the ARR works, but it makes the MVC routes stop working.

I am having an issue with MVC-3 generating outgoing routes for me. This is the address of the page I am on for both scenarios: [URL] Here are the map routes:
[Code]....
Scenario 1:
From the controller:
[Code]....
From the view:
[Code]....
The resulting link that gets created. [URL] If I change the controller code to read as follows:
[Code]....
I didn't make any changes in the view, only added those two lines to the controller and the following link is created: [URL] What am I missing here? This is consistent behavior, I was able to reproduce this in other areas of my application.

I am having one controller Test having following actions
(1)public ActionResult ABC (string parameter1, string parameter2)
(2)public ActionResult XYZ (string parameter1, string parameter2,string parameter3, string parameter4)
i have added following html.routelinks
<%= Html.RouteLink("ABC","ABC", new { parameter1 = 100, parameter2 = 200 } )%><br />
<%= Html.RouteLink("XYZ", "XYZ", new { parameter1 = 1000 , parameter2 = 2000 }) %>
last two parameters in XYZ action are optionals so i have not passed them in Html.routelink
routes.MapRoute("ABC", "Test/{parameter1}/{parameter2}", new { controller = "Test", action = "ABC", parameter1= 0,parameter2=0 });
routes.MapRoute("XYZ", "Test/{parameter1}/{parameter2}/{parameter3}/{parameter4}", new { controller = "Test", action = "XYZ", parameter1=0,parameter2=0 ,parameter3=UrlParameter.Optional,parameter4=UrlParameter.Optional});
In above senario in both cases same route "ABC" is called eventhough i have clicked on second Html.routelink. can anyone solve this issue ? how can i route according to route name instead of number of parameters?

I had my ASP.NET MVC actions written like this:
//
// GET: /TaxStatements/CalculateTax/{prettyId}
public ActionResult CalculateTax(int prettyId)
{
if (prettyId == 0)
return Json(true, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
TaxStatement selected = _repository.Load(prettyId);
return Json(selected.calculateTax, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); // calculateTax is of type bool
}
I had problems with this because when using it in jquery functions I had all sorts of error, mostly toLowerCase() function failing.
So I had to change the actions in a way that they return bool as string (calling ToString() on bool values), so that thay return "true" or "false" (in the qoutes) but I kinda don't like.
How others handle such a case?

My setup project installs web site and executes some custom actions using a class library. That class library is copied to bin folder of the web site, and after that IIS tries to load it even though it isn't needed by the web site any how. How to prevent the class library from loading? Maybe it is possible to copy it to another directory instead of bin? Or maybe the web.config can be configured in such a way to prevent that class library from loading?

I've reated a project containing 15 pages , (inculding one for logging in )well , i've noticed that actions located in the page_load function are not executed! (i've tested with changing the text of a label and a text box) and it's in all pages except the authentification page!i've read tht it's probably due to the DATETIME class used in pages. but is there any other explanation? or is there any way to fix the problem

My controller has three actions: Inroduction, Index and category. In my master page I have a text box and a search button. The general idea is that the user reaches the Introduction view, then types text into the textbox and clicks the search button. He then sees the Index view, while the query string holds a value by which the data the user sees is filtered. the user can choose a category and then he is redirected to the category view. How can I maintain the query string field and value (let's say "?cities=1,2,3") when I move between the actions Introduction, Index and category ? I'll just point out that the query string value will change if the user enters new text in the textbox.

I wish to be able to place a System.Web.ActionFilterAttribute on an Action Method and override the OnActionExecuting method to insert business logic which determines if the Action should be fulfilled. Can the ActionExecutingContext be used to cancel the executing Action Method and do one of the following:
Send an HTTP Status Code (and the corresponding <customError> page).Execute a different Action Method within the same Controller.
