MVC :: UML Class Diagram For Application Include All The Controllers And Views And Their Relationships?
Mar 16, 2011
I would like to ask a plain and simple question about the Model-View-Controller architecture - should the UML Class diagram for my application include all the controllers and views and their relationships, or should it just include my model classes, i.e. the entities that are the heart of the application, you know - like in an ordinary application - i.e. User, Administrator, Student, Teacher, Course, Grade etc...?
I am developing one new area of a fairly large web application using MVC3 and Razor, where the rest of the application is ASP.NET 4 Web Forms based. Can I include my MVC components in this application, and what do I have to do to achieve this?
Basically what the title says. I created a new MVC application. I'm trying to add new pages to the site, but anytime I do I get the following error:Server Error in '/' Application.The resource cannot be found.Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
namespace MyAppMVC.Controllers { public class ProductsController : Controlle{ public ActionResult Index() [code]...
For applications that need to have fastly different view layers, and I would like to still use the idea of the controller. I would ideally like to but the controllers in a Class Lib. and then have only the Views in a MVC Web Application. Taking the model out in this way works well, but I can't find a nice way to split the views and controllers.
am using class diagram of visual studio 2008as you can see the image i need show to user that the period and calendar classes have the idMarket property that refers to market classhow can i do this?
I am new to MVC. my question is when we add a view to the controller event by doing the right click and add view.then we give a view name and click on add button. where is this information stored that which view is linked to which view?
I'm building a CMS type of application in MVC. I want to reuse my views and controllers for adding/managing content in at least two other MVC sites. Obviously I dont want more than one code base for the CMS stuff. I figured out a way to do so:
Controllers:
Controllers are easy. Nothing more than creating a new Class Library Project and adding your controllers. Be sure to reference System.Web.MVC. In your MVC project just reference your controller assembly.
Views:
Views are a bit trickier. My solution was to add the folder structure to my assembly
CMSViews CMSViewsWhatever
Then start adding my view pages. For each page, you have to set the 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Copy Always' (right click -> properties)
Then I created a new class which inherits from 'WebFormViewEngine'. In the constructor I call the base() and then I add paths to the base.MasterLocationFormats and base.ViewLocationFormats to specify the new locations to look for views.
[Code]....
Setup in MVC project:
To get the controllers and views to work from the assemblies, you have to add two lines of code in the global.asax. Under the RegisterRoutes() method, add
ControllerBuilder.Current.DefaultNamespaces.Add("YourAssemblyNamespace.Controllers"); then under the Application_Start() method add: ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new YourAssemblyNamespace.MyViewEngine());
What I dont like is that the Views get put into the Bin directory when published and you have to make sure to set the Ouput to Copy Always which is going to be a PITA for larger projects with lots of views.
We're throwing together a quick project (CRUD forms) and decided to skip view models and use EF entities directly in controllers and views. Since I'm not used to this approach, I'm confused about handling validation.
For example: a DB field has a length of 25. How does that get transferred (if it can) to a validation constraint in my view? If i was using an intermediate model, I would attach attributes to the model properties and it would work. How would I do this using EF objects directly?
I have a subdirectory in Controllers named Admin, which contains several controllers.
Is there a way to change the route so that I can put all the views in "/Admin" for every controller in the Admin directory? Or do I need to map a route for every single controller?
We have a legacy ASP.NET webforms application that we're engaged in stabilising and removing technical debt from. Is it possible to take a hybrid approach - ie, can ASP.NET MVC coexist with webforms within the same web-project? Are there any gotchas for that? If it is possible, I assume one just has to initialise the routes table, register the ASP.NET MVC handlers,
I have an MVC 3 application which uses asp.net authentication. I have just created a custom errors controller and a couple of views for unknown errors and 404's. This works fine when I am logged into the application but if an internal server error happens during logon I would like to display the error/unknown view. However I just keep getting redirected back to the login as I am not authenticated.
I have added a location path for 'Views/Error' to my Web.config to allow access to all users but I am guessing it's the controller access that is causing the redirection.
Is there any way you can allow this in MVC or do I need to think of another solution? Just did not want to add a generic message to the login page as that's what my unknown error view is for.
I'd like to inherit all my controllers from a custom base class that I write myself. I can change the line every time I add a new controller, but it would be nicer if I could somewhere specify the default value that gets set there. That way I wouldn't need to worry about forgetting this, and other people who get added to the project later on would have an easier time.
Consider the following scenario: Page written in classic ASP or PHP, which is rendering a data report (series of HTML tables for simplicity). There is one main database query and then multiple sub queries as the page renders. The report is split into sub panels, which correlate to a sub query. Therefore:
Main database query. Loop over result. For each row, execute sub query and render report panel. How would you architect a similar report using the MVC pattern? This can be split into two parts: Efficiency at database level of multiple queries, which are dependent on values from an outer query. If all data was processed and prepared in the controller, would this also be deemed inefficient if looping within the controller and then again in a view to render. Could sub controllers be used or sub panels, which encapsulate smaller sections of logic i.e. loading data and rendering report panel.
I'm a novice developer writing an ASP.NET application with VB. I'm having a little trouble getting my head around the partial class concept. If you use the partial classes as a code-behind for the presentation, how would these be represented in UML, in particular with a class diagram?
I have a solution consisting of many projects. it's very hard to trace your way around to find the right class or method to change , which led me to try to create a diagram that can model the whole solution. Is there a tool in visual studio ( class diagram designer or rational rose ) or even a third party tool that can revers engineer the solution and generate a class diagram, including all the classrelations,compositions,hierarchies and etc.
I want to undertand and change an existing website which was written long time back. It cntains a lot of code and I dont know where to start as there is no dicumentation.Is there any way by which i can create a class diagram and sequence diagram of the existing one as I want to incorporate all the existing functionalities in the new one and dont miss out anyone. Only way I know is to debug the current application and go through whole of the code individually. Is there any way out by which I can undertand the current application quickly?
I have finished coding a project and need to do a class diagram for my documentation is there a way to make a class diagram in Web Developer 2010? I remeber there was a feature that implements a Class Diagram in C# 2005 but not sure in 2008 and web devekoper 2010.
I need to plan out a Class, Method, Attribute style diagram, I have looked at the Class Designer in Visual Studio, but it seems to not do what I want. I want to be able to have a diagram show the classes just like in Visual Studio - except I want to be able to represent the parameters these methods require, for example:
getStock(StockID)
And this be shown in the Diagram. This is for an ASP.NET website - what are the best ways of creating a diagram for a website like this to represent the methods - I don't want to start generating classes - which is why I want to use Visio, plus I am more familiar with Visio than the Visual Studio Class designer as I mostly use the Express line of products which don't feature this. I want this for example for Default.aspx:
I don't want to use UML as this is too confusing - the Visual Studio Class diagram is close to what I want but I cannot get it to show the Parameters on my Methods. My main aim is to have "stubs" for each method a page requires to implement that functionality as a Developer this is the easiest way I can plan out this project.
is there any tools within VS2008 or Free 3rd Party tools where i can generate a Diagram of Class Methods and Code Behind events. think of the Table Diagram of SQL, it will show all fields, Primary Keys and to what table it is connected via foreign keys, etc.That is what i wish to make, in a much faster way, where it will show all class and within it is all the methods then linking them are the Code behinds and the event where the class is called.
while viewing Class diagram its images are not clear since they are of small size.Its width are increasing but not height. How to increase its height ?
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC 2 site where I'm currently implementing an OpenID sign-up form. Unfortunately, I'm foreseeing a possible security bug/vulnerability inside my architecture.
Here's how I want OpenID login to work:
User requests /Account/Login, Controller sends back OpenIDLogin View. User enters their OpenID into the View, then OpenID authorization takes place, and finally the OpenID is returned to the Controller.The Controller checks whether the OpenID is currently in use by a user in the system or not. If it is, the user is logged in to that account. If not, the registration process begins.
And now, the OpenID registration process:
The OpenID identifier, as well as any other information provided by the OpenID provider (such as email address or name), is put into my custom ViewModel and sent to my OpenIDRegistrationForm View.The RegistrationForm View stores the OpenID in a hidden field to make sure that it gets sent back to the Controller.The user fills in the RegistrationForm View and sends it back to the Controller.The Controller creates the user account and puts the OpenID into the database.
The bug that I see within my architecture is that a user could modify the hidden value in the RegistrationForm View. Thus, they could spoof their OpenID! I will make sure to add another round of checking to the final Registration Controller Action to make sure that the OpenID that is provided doesn't exist yet, but there is still a possibility for spoofing. Can my architecture be improved somehow? I don't want this to end badly...
One solution I'm considering is encrypting the OpenID before I send it to the View and then decrypting it when it reaches the Controller. Should I try this?
This is the error i'm getting while try to view class diagram,any suggestion.Some of the seleced types cannot be added to the class diagram.Checks the code for errors and ensure that all required assemblies are referenced.
We have a solution that contains 2 web applications and a class library called core.dll that has our shared code for use on both sites. What I was wondering is: is there a way when integrating MVC into our current application to put things that may be common across both sites like controller classes into the shared class library?
I know that I can convert a sequence diagram into a collaboration diagram easily using Rational Rose, but... Using Visual Studio, that is possible? Or I will have to create by myself?
