Finding ResolveUrl/ResolveClientUrl Equivalents For Razor?
Feb 16, 2011
So I've started using the <%: Url.Content(~/site/blah) %> syntax as standard for CSS, JScript and Image urls - solves a lot of issues indeed; and it's at least consistent beween WebForms and Razor pages (not all of my devs will be doing Razor, and yet they will still be working on this platform I've produced).
However, for something that I'm doing at the moment I could really do with a way to take a relative Url written in a Razor page and, at run time, resolve it to the correct server side file, before turning it back into an absolute Url for the client. Url.Content doesn't do anything with relative Urls.
So, basically, I want either an equivalent of ResolveUrl or ResolveClientUrl at the Razor level.
I would like this to enable terser (and more tolerant to renaming) resource paths in some of my MVC views, which can be a few folders further down from the root, and whose content folder would be more easily expressed as a relative path - so I could have:
folderfolderviewssharedlayout.cshtml
and
folderfoldercontentsite.css
(I've inferred the use of a layout page, also, to mirror the kind of issues that are addressed by ResolveUrl and the re-basing that WebForms does)
Using Url.Content as it is, I would need to specify the full path:
Url.Content("~/folder/folder/content/site.css")
But what I would like is
Url.Content("../../site.css")
And have that work, of course, regardless of how many paths there are in the current request's route.
Of course I can get this to work in WebForms, if I ditch the Url.Content call and just rely on url rebasing.
I use ResolveClientUrl to include css files in my page. When launched through web-server everything is OK, but in design mode css styles are not applied to the page. I use VS 2010 beta 2.
Is there an equivalent of the GridView.RowDataBound event for the DetailView and FormView controls in ASP.NET 3.5?I need to manipulate data after Selecting it from my database, but before it gets presented to the user. I've read the documentation but I think I've missed something because I can only find FormView.DataBound which is called after the entire control has been data bound. Something like an ItemDataBound event would be what I need....?!?
I want to use .sitemap file,but how to use Page.ResolveUrl in it. Because i have used UrlRewriting so it url are virtual.tell me if another way of doing this.
I'm trying to use ResolveUrl() to set some paths in the code behind of a custom ASP.NET user control. The user control contains a navigation menu. I'm loading it on a page that's loading a master page.
When I call ResolveUrl("~") in my user control it returns "~" instead of the root of the site. When I call it in a page I get the root path as expected. I've stepped through with the debugger and confirmed, ResolveUrl("~") returns "~" in my user control code behind.
Is there some other way I should be calling the function in my user control code behind to get the root path of the site?
I'm all new at MVC, so how do I access the users Profile attributes which are defined in the web.config file.With WebForms I would normally do something like this:
[Code]....
[Code]....
I really can't figure out how to do it in MVC 3 Razor.Would really like to see a working example,
Now that ASP.NET MVC 3 with the new Razor engine has been officially released, is there any official documentation for it?The question asp.net mvc3 razor documentation? has some good links to introductory texts. But I'm looking for a reference documentation that contains a complete description of all @keywords.
How does one create a .cshtml page in an ASP.NET web application? The option to choose Razor is obvious when using MVC - it appears when adding a view. But I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this in a plain ASP.NET Web Application. Is it even possible?
I've recently switched over to using the Razor view engine, and I want to specify a namespace to use in a view. I've tried adding an entry to the Web.config file, ie:
[Code]....
But none of my views recognise any of the classes inside that namespace, so I have to declare the namespace in every view that needs it. why the Web.config approach isn't working?
If I look at the Razor View Engine, then I see a very nice and concise syntax that is not particularly tied to generating html. So I wonder, how easy would it be to use the engine outside asp.net in a "normal" .net environment for example to generate text, code,...
It seems that using Local resources is much more complicated when using Razor. I recently converted an MVC 2 app I was working on to MVC 3. The conversion went well but accessing LocalResources doesn't work and I can't get it to work. In MVC 2 I created an App_LocalResources folder in the /Views/Home folder and created an Index.aspx.resx resource file. In the Index View I could access the local resources with
<%: GetLocalResourceObject("FirstName") %>
Simple, out-of-the-box functionality, as it should be. Razor doesn't understand this. It seems that in Razor you have to use @HttpContext.GetLocalResourceObject(<virtual-path>, <resource-name-key>). I've tried everything for virtual-path but nothing seems to work ("~/", "~/Views/Home/App_LocalResources", etc.). I tried to directly access the resource file by providing the complete namespace, like you do with global resources (which works fine in Razor), but then it errors stating that the culture is required. Intellisense allows you to build the reference to the resource property but Razor doesn't understand it.
Of course an alternative could be to simply use the ASPX rendering engine in MVC 3, but I want to use Razor. Does anyone know an out-of-the-box method (not some exotic work-around) for accessing the LocalResources in an MVC 3 app using Razor?
