MVC :: UrlHelper Extension Methods For Areas (Best Practices)
Apr 20, 2010
In the previous version of our application we worked one we used MVC 1, so no area's. Following the ASP.NET MVC Best Practices by Kazi Manhur, I Created Extension methods of UrlHelper to generate your url from Route
Now with the new version, we are using MVC 2 and Areas. I was just wondering if one should implement it as before or have a new "best practice" regarding this emerged?
What I'm doing right now is:
1) Create a route in my area's route registration:
[Code]....
2) Creat an UrlHelper Extension method:
[Code]....
3) then just call it like this:
[Code]....
While typing this I started wondering what is the use of the ID you specify for the Area route..cant one just call the route using that?

I have an extension method as follows:
public static class PageExtensions
{
public static int GetUserId(this Page targetPage)
{
var user = Membership.GetUser(targetPage.User.Identity.Name);
return (int)user.ProviderUserKey;
}
}
Now in a page I need to use this method in a static WebMethod, so I have added another 'extension method' to PageExtensions:
public static int GetUserId()
{
return (int)Membership.GetUser(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name).ProviderUserKey;
}
and I call it as follows in my WebMethod: PageExtensions.GetUserId()

I'm searching for some extension methods that helps programming in ASP.NET. Some functions to work on controls, validators, AJAX or programing in C# in general.It could be methods library or your own methods.Do you know any source of those methods (other than CodePlex - that is good source of generic extensions) especially for ASP.NET?

Note , that i'm new to c# so it might not be a problem.first , what is the exact meaning of @ in Razor ?does it mean WebPage.Response.Write ?next, i designed an extension method to WebPage ( by the way that is the coolest feature ever in c# )in my Razor code , to use it in a webpage , i must write @this.MyExtensionMethod() instead of @MyExtensionMethod().So why is it? because @this.MyExtensionMethod() and @MyExtensionMethod() should be the same ?
here is my extension method :

With regards to the Razor view engine, say I want to render Html.TextBoxFor<SomeModel>(i => i.Name), it doesn't seem that the inline syntax works as in:
@Html.TextBoxFor<SomeModel>(i => i.Name)
This doesn't seem to work because it interprets the generic as an HTML tag. I could use a code-block approach, but then what's the best approach to output the content? The HTML string returned from this method, do I response.write it, or is there a syntax for it, or what's the approach?

I have a web site project using the .NET 2.0 Framework that I am working on in Visual Studio 2008. I am using a third-party DLL in my project. I have added a reference to the DLL in my project and I can use everything as expected, including a number of extension methods for certain objects. Intellisense sees these extension methods, and I am able to make use of them and I can build my project on my local machine without any errors.
However, when running my website on a production server, I get a Compilation Error saying that the extension method I am trying to use could not be found. I can use everything else in the DLL besides the extension methods on the production server.
This is my first exposure to extension methods and understand what they are, but I can't seem to figure out why I can't make use of these methods outside of my local machine.

I'm using IOC containers that wrap items of HttpContext, such as Request and Session variables, to simplify mocking of it for testability.
Since IsAjaxRequest() is an extension method, it doesn't show up in HttpContext.Current.Request.
Is it possible to wrap extension methods with a IOC container? How?

Is it possible to do something like this inline in an ASPX page?
<%= Me.SomeExtensionMethod() %>
I can't seem to figure out how to get this to work properly. I'm receiving an error saying that "SomeExtensionMethod" is not a member of the current Page object. I've added the necessary <%@ Import Namespace="..." %> directive at the top of my page. This Does work in code-behind.This isn't vitally important, but it would be good to know how to do in the future.

I've written the following Extension Method
<Extension()>
Public Function ToUtcIso8601(ByVal dt As Date) As String
Return String.Format("{0:s}Z", dt)
End Function
But I also need a Nullable version of the same method... how exactly do I do this?
This is what I was thinking, but I'm not sure if this is the right way

I'm currently doing something in OrchardCMS we're using URLRewrite so that if a user comes to the site from site.com or from site.com/orchard, they get the site.com/orchard page. One of the problems is that it's throwing the urls in the menu because it's using urlHelper.RouteUrl which uses the wrong context and then produces a url like site.com/page1 rather than site.com/orchard/page1. Is there either a way to tell urlHelper.RouteUrl to start from a different page than the current one, or to get the function to return the full path?

I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 and NUnit. I am trying to write a unit to test one of my helper methods. Here it is:
public static class UrlHelperAssetExtensions
{
private static readonly string yuiBuildPath = "http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.2r1/build/";
public static string YuiResetFontsGridsStylesheet(this UrlHelper helper)
{
return helper.Content(yuiBuildPath + "reset-fonts-grids/reset-fonts-grids.css");
}
}
Here is my unit test:
[Test]
public void YuiResetFontsGridsStylesheet_should_return_stylesheet()
{
// Arrange
RequestContext requestContext = new RequestContext();
UrlHelper urlHelper = new UrlHelper(requestContext);
// Act
string actual = urlHelper.YuiResetFontsGridsStylesheet();
// Assert
string expected = yuiBuildPath + "reset-fonts-grids/reset-fonts-grids.css";
Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);
}....................................

I am beginner in web applications development. I started one little project and host it on source forge "https://homoco.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/homoco". And I started implementing authentication in this application to learn how it works. From my experience people never use out of the box things so I want to implement this stuff alone (like in real world projects). So some questions:
1) Is there any reason to use membership out of the box? To use database table schema, stored procedures etc. that tool generate for developer. I think that this lower control over code and I decided to implement it my self. I don't know if I am right.
2) Is my approach in this demo project good or bad (if someone have time I like to do just a little code review)? I created database based on business rules. Not using database schema that membership provider require. Extend "MembershipProvider" class to satisfy my needs. Implement queries to database myself.
3) Now, this question is a little wired but I have to ask it. If we make custom Membership Provider and do sql queries alone, implement all MembershipProvider class methods ourselves, and in application use Membership.blabla() why is this approach different from not extending MembershipProvider class and putting all this methods in some unique class and call its methods then? I hope that someone understand what I ask here.
I am sorry for three questions, but I really trying to find the best way to implement this feature in my demo project like it is a real world application.

I'm following this blog post about setting up ELMAH with MVC: [URL] I've only done part 1. Everything works correctly if I simply go to the Home controller, and then cause an error. I can view /elmah.axd as well, and my errors are logging in the database correctly.
However, I've added an area to my application named Admin. If I navigate to /Admin, I receive the following error:
System.MissingMethodException: No parameterless constructor defined for this object.
public override IController CreateController(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName)
{
var controller = base.CreateController(requestContext, controllerName); //Error here
var c = controller as Controller;
I'm assuming this has something to do with my Area.
EDIT for jfar:
For instance, I have an Employees controller in my Admin area:
public class EmployeesController : Controller
{
private IEmployeesRepository employeesRepository;
public EmployeesController(IEmployeesRepository employeesRepository)
{
this.employeesRepository = employeesRepository;
}
//...
}

To use separation of concern and to optimize the clearness of the controllers we decided to split each action of a controller into different controllers (FunctionalLocationEditController, FunctionalLocationCreateController and such).
Problem now is the Global.asax is currently a bit big for just a few pages registered in routes.
We would need to use an area type of mechanism but for business reason we are not ready to upgrade just yet to MVC2.
Basically, is there a way in MVC1 to map the Urls to something like <folder>/<controller>/<action> ?

Been starting a new project (MVC 2) based on the first version of the same application (MVC 1).In the first we breaked out Controllers and Views into seperate projects, which resuted in a clean and organized structure.Now with version 2, I've been reading about this "Areas".Keeping the old structure and using areas sounds like overkill to me. Keeping the old way OR use Areas is what I'm trying to decide on.Just wanted to hear your thoughts about this.... Is it really that usefull (ie have other benifits)? No use to make some major changes just because something is there IMHO
