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?
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.
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.
View 7 RepliesI 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?
View 2 RepliesI 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,
View 1 RepliesI'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?
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,
View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.NET 4 MVC2 multi-language application and I need the same HomeController to response ДОМОЙ as well.Our application has 12 Controllers and should support 9 different languages.The optimal solution would be to override some FindControllerByName & FindViewByName, but I can't find such functions.
Do any of you guys know how can I achieve such a behavior?
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...?
View 1 RepliesConsider 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 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?
I have an asp.net mvc 2 app (using .net 4.0) that isn't routing correctly when hosted in a virtual directory. I have the following simple routing rule:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{action}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "accounts" } // Parameter defaults
);
I'm trying to resolve [URL]. Where "accounts" is a virtual directory. If I put the app in the root of an IIS website it routes fine for [URL], but if I put the app in a virtual directory I get 404 errors. I've debugged and it is executing global.asax and configuring routing when in the vdir. Is there something special I need to do for routing in a virtual directory? FYI. I'm using a vdir because the root has wordpress in it. one more thing is that if I specify a default action in parameter defaults, it will execute the default action/controller, but it never matches anything else.
I have an ASP.NET web application(WebForms,Not MVC) developed in VS 2008 and i have implemented ASP.NET web forms URL routing by following this link [URL]It works pretty good when i run it on the Visual studion IDE.But does not works when i created a site under my IIS (IIS 5.1 in XP) and deployed the same files there.I have set ASP.NET version as 2.0 in the Properties window of my application too.But does not work.
View 1 RepliesI have a Domain like [URL] that is pointed to a virtual directory on my webspace like [URL]. The folder structure on my webspace is (off course) like this
root
bin
VirtualDirectoryName
bin
Content
Scripts
Views
Web.config
Global.asax
If i call now [URL] i get the Site without CSS and the links are [URL]. I used the default and almost empty default "Internet Application". So the routing is default and all links are created with @Html.ActionLink. i tried so many things but i cant get it working. In my local environment i can affect that with IIS settings but (off course) i do not have access on the IIS settings of my host.
I have an application that I run in several places (demo, production, local, etc.) that all use different virtual directories for the placement of the MVC application.
I use StructureMap in this application, so I am overriding the ControllerFactory to use StructureMap to build controllers (when the passed controller instance is not null).
My problem is that the controller instance being passed to the controller factory IS null, which is fine if said route didn't exist, but it does... specifically, it should be my DEFAULT ROOT route.
Basically if I host the app at [URL], everything works fine except when I have a '/' on the end of the URL (meaning,[URL]... the latter works fine, while the former gives me the error). It looks like when that slash is there, the routing engine is deciding that it should be looking for a controller named MvcController, which doesn't exist, and which then passes the null controller instance to the ControllerFactory, resulting in the following error:
The controller for path '/Mvc/' could not be found or it does not implement IController.
My Default route is the standard default route. Removing all other routes has no effect. My default controller is HomeController.
My hosting provider has ASP.NET 3.5 and I'm using MVC 2.0. I have two domains on my account, [URL], and [URL], each has it's own virtual directory off of the root:
/
/domainone
/domaintwo
Their routing commands for their httpd.ini rerouts [URL]to [URL] If I type in the address bar [URL], it works properly. The Problem My website links created using Html.ActionLink add the virtual directory. If you mouse over the About link in your standard MVC2.0 webapp, it displays as follows: [URL]
All of my testing and setup on my development machine doesn't have this virtual directory, and in the past my webhost didn't have this issue in the path. But since the move to their 'new' shared hosting platform, this is now what I'm having to deal with. How do I setup my ASP.NET MVC 2.0 web application to remove the unwanted virtual directory name from the path in my ActionLink controls?.....
I have a web application and I'm using asp.net routing. When I publish it with the Only files needed to run this application selected it gives me an error when I'm loading any of the page "HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found."
but if I choose publish All files it works fine.
Do you know how to resolve this issue?
How do you change the URL of views for example if I have the following:
/Views/Home/Details.aspx will produce the following URL: /Home/Details/1
I would like to rename it to say News. I remember it being something along the lines of ActionResult but can't remember exactly.
Is there anyway to change a user password as an administrator in active directory using c# code.
View 1 RepliesI have a question about the MVC3 view page activator and how changes to the views trigger recompilation. There seems to be some magic going on in BuildManager that I can't see because the source code is not available for the symbols -- and even reflector can't see inside.
What I've done is implement my own VPP and subclass of the Razor view engine for purposes of displaying razor views that do not live on the filesystem. My mock setup just returns data from a string to render. This works fine, but what does not work is when you change that data, the class is not recompiled. And it is not clear how to get either RazorBuildProvider or BuildManager to regenerate the c# code and recompile it when the data returned from the VPP is different.
I have the basic Master / Detail Views working great with the default ASP.NET MVC Route; however I would like to build some URLs like this: /Class/Details/5 -- General Detail view [Working] What I'm not sure about (and I'm not tied to this URL format, just something roughly equalivent.)
/Class/5/Details/Logs -- Detail View with Logs
/Class/5/Details/Status -- Detail View with current Status
Another way to put this, is like this: /{controller}/{id}/{controllerSpecificMaster}/{action}/ What I'm trying to avoid, is cluttering up my ViewsClass directory with a bunch of Views, which are all basically derivatives of the Details view. I'm on ASP.NET MVC 1 and .NET 3.5 SP1.
So I created a website in visual studio 2010 and I transfer it to my web host.
The problem is the webhost has the a file structure like this:
[URL]
And I put all my files in wwwroot, and it works fine on the web.
But now in VS, since I had to add [URL] folders, I am getting compile errors that say "This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS".
So my question is - how do I either A) change the root application for IIS on my machine to be at the wwwroot levelB) change VS to let me copy files from the root directory in VS to the [URL] dirctory.
