I'd like to create a class library project where embed resources like js, css and maybe image files. I would compile it and copy the dll into the bin folder of my web site to include the resources into my pages with GetWebResourceUrl.
I tried with an assembly that have no .cs files, but it doesn't seem to work, I can't see the namespace of the assembly in the web project.
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.
I am relatively new to ASP.NET programming (but not programming in general), and I have been looking through a project that has been handed off to me. Within this project, there is a bin directory which contains a slew of various DLL files. Then, in the web.conf file, inside the assemblies structure (within the XML), there is a slew of other assemblies being added. I've done a search on both SO and through Google in general, and I am still struggling over what the difference is between the two. Is one way "better" than the other?
View 2 RepliesI have a web application which uses membership and profiles. I successfully used the WebProfileBuilder extension, so my profile class is correctly generated, and is working nicely. However, after a new request of my client, I need now to move that profile management part into another assembly (so I'd be able to get profile information in a windows service running on the same machine).
What I made is created the new assembly, moved my generated profile file, and tried to use it from the other assembly, but without any success. I always get a SettingsPropertyNotFoundException. My thought is that the profile system doesn't know where to find its connection information, so I tried to add the connectionstring and provider in the app.config of this assembly, but this doesn't seem to work.
I have two projects in my solution: a) MVC Application b) Class Library. The class library acts as a plugin, so it contains views. The main problem is that I have no intellisense in the view's markup for my classes contained within the class library (the same assembly as the views). In the beginning I couldn't even write <%= Html.RenderAction... %>. I've solved that by adding a Web.config file to the class library with the following section:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
<add assembly="System.Xml.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
<add assembly="System.Data.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
Now it recognizes Html.RenderAction, etc in the view's markup. However I've no idea how to get access (with intellisense) to my classes contained within the same assembly as the views
I just want to know if anyone stores their helper classes or methods in a separate assembly and why...just for clean management of them? I've seen so many posts about using a helper folder inside your MVC project and that brings me back to the messy old days in ASP.NET where people were using an App_code folder instead of cleanly separating things out physically like this into its own project. And likewise nobody doing real architecture is going to put models in some folder in your MVC web assembly. They would go in MyApp.DataLayer assembly or MyApp.Models or something like this.

Is it possible to read the GUID from the Assembly without actually loading it in the current App Domain. Normally Assembly.Load loads the DLL into the app domain. I just want to read the value. The description of the GUID is

<Assembly: Guid("DEDDE61CD-928E-4ACD-8C25-3B8577284819")>

I have recently discovered that I am affected by this bug http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg71515.html
Well,at http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg71529.html they say the work around is to create a global policy assembly and redirect the assemblies that way since it is not read from the web.config.
How do you actually do what they describe there? There is a huge documentation gap in that area with Mono.Also,I can't just recompile the assembly to use the new Mono assembly versions because the assembly is closed source.(but it does work with Mono.)
