C# - Attaching Validation To EF Objects Used In MVC Controllers/views?
Feb 11, 2011
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?

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()

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.

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 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 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...?

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 finding myself repeating myself and the DRY side is nagging me to find an abstraction. I have a number of different entities in an MVC3 Razor web app. They are all business objects and each has a number of different properties that I show to the user in a list. So I have Index views and List partial views for each of these different entities (there are at least 10). I would like to abstract the List partial view so that it's capable of displaying a list of any type of entity. It simply shows them in a table with a column for each property and a row for each entity. My current thinking is that I could receive a list of objects and then use Reflection to see what properties those objects have and use those to make columns. I really wish I could receive a generic List somehow and from my various controllers just pass in an anonymous object (new {Parameter 1=param1, Parameter 2=param2}, etc.) but then I discovered that it's not possible to pass anonymous objects around.

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?

<p>Hi</p> <p>I'm a newbie in MVC but a veteran web forms developer. I really like the idea of strongly typed views but what if I have multiple objects to pass to my razor view. Would I then NOT use strongly typed views and just use the ViewBag?</p>

Here is what i would like to be able to do with the urls/routes:
1) www.domain.com/customer/home/index
2) www.domain.com/home/index
Where both the home controllers should be seperate controllers with seperate views and the company part should be an param for all the actions in the controllers.Now why i want to be able to do this is because of the following scenario: Each customer will have there own pages (which actually will all be the same for each customer but with different information per customer). The one without the customer is the general website where non customers can go to to become an customer or get information about the services we provide for them, they can sign up etc.

I am using a MultiView control inside a FormView to break my form into more manageable sections for the end-user. I am trying to make it so that each time the Next button is clicked, the entire form is validated and a list of the fields that have not yet been completed show up in the Validation Summary.
I would like my users to be able to continue through the MultiView 'wizard' even if they haven't completed all the fields -- they should be able to come back to them later. But I would like the ValidationSummary to display the fields they've not completed that are required as a reminder of what to come back to if possible.
I've tried playing around with Page.IsValid with no success.
[Code]....
The code-behind for the Next button is as follows:

I have an CustomViewModel that is composed of three layers of objects.
The first one is to store and populate lists to be used in dropdowns.
The second one is to store additional propperties that I want.
And the third one is the model itself.
I create the view using View(new Layer(model))
And at the post i have ActionResult .... (Container container)
I made this architecture because i was having a lot of problems with model binder and enums...
So when i post to the form and the ModelBinder checks the validation attributes, the IsValid operation at the attribute X applied to the model class has its parameter value as null.
This behavior doesn't happen if I Just use the simple model to create and post the view.
What I have to do to get this work ?
I made a few changes to the AccountController to use it as sample here, here is the code:
[Code]....
Just change the register page to inherits from RegisterModelLayer.
When I post, the value parameter at the IsValid function at the PropertiesMustMatchAttribute class is null;
As a consequence i can't validate and get an null exception maybe.

have some Objects, lets say Employee and Role defined as below and I have defined relationships in my database that gives me a list of objects say employees and thanks to my framework each employee object also has a Role object linked via the RoleIDID, UserName, Password, Email, RoleIDRoleID, RoleNameSo in code I can do something like this
Employee emp = dataService_GetEmployeeByID(1);
string RoleName = emp.Role.RoleName;
Now here is my problemI can bind any object in a repeater and it works fine for the first level in my relationship
For instance <%# Eval("UserName") %>
But I need to be able to show the details for my child objects as well (Role) so something like this (which does not work)
<%# Eval("Role.RoleName") %>

firstly a static class only ever exists once and is not an instance. Any static members (ie static int NoOfPeople;) is stored in one place and is shared between all sessions (like the old global variables).
Now static methods is where i'm not 100% sure. If I have a static method that doesn't use any other static members could this cause inconstant results, example (this is a fairly pointless method but just a quick example of the top of my head)
[Code]....
So in this example if two sessions (or threads) were to call this at the same time - would they both get back the expected results, because the method only uses private data (a, b and totalToReturn).Im sure this sounds a little simple but I will be using static methods to build user objects and various other objects that there will have to be a 100% garentee that the objects will not get mixed up between sessions and the wrong things return to the user.

I have an MVC view that contains a number of partial views. These partial views are populated using partial requests so the controller for the view itself doesn't pass any data to them. Is it possible to reload the data in one of those partial views if an action was triggered in another? For example, one partial view has a jqGrid and I want to refresh the data in another partial view when a user selects a new row in this grid. Is there a code example for this scenario (in C#) that I can look at to see what am I doing wrong? I am using ajax calls to trigger a new request but non of the partial views are refreshed so I am not sure if the issue is with the routing, the controller,

I'm working on a project in which we have a database, data layer (entity framework), business layer and web/UI layer.I want to use ASP.NET Dynamic Data for the web layer, but don't want it to access the data layer or database, as I want it to be purely running off business logic, and not directly accessing the data.However, it appears that Dynamic Data only allows Linq-to-SQL or entity framework data sources to be used.Has anyone used it with business-layer objects instead?
