I want to use "NVelocity" from plain ASPX pages without using any MVC framework. I don't want to use "NVelocity View Engine" thru' asp.net MVC framework. The only example that I got for "NVelocity" is for merging and writing onto console window (http://www.castleproject.org/others/nvelocity/usingit.html)
I am looking out for example on to integrating "NVelocity" into aspx web forms.
Is there any way to use placeholder similar to WebForms in NVelocity View Engine (.vm files)? Today I've got a component containing everything for the <head>, but I wish to specify additional tags from each view page like it can easily be done in ASP.NET WebForms / MVC:
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server"></asp:Content>
If this is not possible directly trough NVelocity View Engine, do I have any other alternatives other than using a blank MasterPage and adding all markup in each view page?
I'm looking to use NVelocity in my ASP.NET MVC application, not as a view engine, just for rendering some email templates.However, I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I have downloaded it from the castle project and followed the example at [URL].html#step1No matter what I try I don't seem to be able to load a template located in my site. The example suggests using the absolute path, which I have tried to no avail:Template t = engine.GetTemplate("/Templates/TestEmail.vm");So please can someone give me two examples. One of loading a template located in the web site directory and secondly one parsing a string variable (as it is likely that my templates will be stored in a database).
View 3 RepliesWhat is the syntax for an not true or false if statement in nVelocity (or Velocity)?
And more importantly, where is this in the nVelocity docs? I've been Googling for quite a while to no avail.
I've tried several different combinations such as:
#if (!$artist.IsFestival)
$artist.FestivalName
#end
and
#if ($artist.IsFestival == false)
$artist.FestivalName
#end
So frustrating!
I am an experienced .NET developer with approximately 5 years of experience. Unfortunately, I have worked primarily on the back-end and as an desktop/smartclient developer. I have worked as a consultant for a total of 1 1/2 years on web development using both the MVP pattern and some Silverlight. I am wanting to develop a personal site, (My wife is due with our first in 7 months!) and figured while I was at it I would target particular technologies that I want to learn. Being that my current employer
uses Monorail with NVolocity and is plannning a migration to ASP.NET MVC with (most-likely) NVelocity, I figured that would be a good tech stack to use. In addition, I would like to add JQuery to the set-up.
I have done several ASP.NET MVC tutorials. Including one on this site (Great job!). However, adding NVelocity and JQuery to the mix muddies the water a bit for me.
So, my question is, does anybody have advice of where to start? Do you know of any good books, online tutorials, etc.? Do you think this is a good stack to use? Better view engine?
I have a fairly simple template that I need to make a method call from. However, NVelocity does not seem to evaluate method parameters that themselves are NVelocity variables. Take the following NVelocity template:
#if (--- CONDITION SNIPPED ---)
<blockquote class="column span-4">
I MADE IT!
</blockquote>
#else
<blockquote class="column span-4">
$extensionMethods.TestMethod(${var1})
</blockquote>
#end
In the above template, $extensionMethods is passed in as an instance of a class and works wonderfully when passing in evaluated numbers (e.g. $extensionMethods.TestMethod(4) works every time). However, using $var1 causes the entire string to be returned as-is: $extensionMethods.TestMethod(${var1}).
Is there a way to pass in a variable to a method lazily to get the above template to evaluate correctly?
I know the difference between ASP.NET webforms and ASP.NET MVC and I've seen quite a few videos explaining that they both run on top of ASP.NET (and I've used both). However, my question is, how would one develop right on top of ASP.NET without webforms or mvc.net?
View 5 RepliesI am converting a webforms app to mvc. I implemented localization in webforms this way: The user selects the language, which BTW can be an rtl language, and the selection goes into the user profile in order for it to persist the next time the user visits the site. I used anonymous profiles. also, I used resource files.The db tables have multiple rows for each language (with a language index field). I also used different style sheets for ltr and rtl languages since I don't use tables on my site (Is there another way instead of using separate style sheets?) What are the best practices for using localization in asp.net mvc ? can I and should I use resource files ? and profiles ? should I map the aspnet tables to linq-to-sql ?
View 1 RepliesIf I use a Server.Transfer command with a true value passed for the "PreserveForm" 2nd param's value:
Default.aspx:
Server.Transfer("WebForm1.aspx", True)..I can access the value of the textbox "TextBox1" control on the first page, Default.aspx, from "WebForm1.aspx" as follows:
lblPassedValue.Text = Request.Form("ctl00$MainContent$TextBox1")
I know that I can control the way that IDs are generated in Visual Studio 2010, but how about controlling the NAME property?
I would like it to read:
lblPassedValue.Text = Request.Form("TextBox1")
I'd also rather use ASP.NET Textbox controls rather than a native HTML textbox.
Possible Duplicates: Advice on using ASP.net WebForms or MVC, How to decide which is right, WebForms or MVC when doing ASP.NET
I am new to web development and asp.net... I was going through asp.net website and 'n' number of question here in stackoverflow regarding Webforms or MVC.... But still as a beginner can't get an idea what to choose?
What should i choose webforms or mvc?If MVC,What should i know before getting started with it?If webforms,What should i know before getting started with it?
I have a mixed project: WebForms with ASP.NET MVC2 and is running OK. I have done this tutorial on separate MVC Project and localization is working fine. However, when I want to apply localization (mentioned above) in my mixed project, it seems to be ignored. It doesn't matter what I set in global.asax file (de-DE, fr-FR, pl-PL) always get en-EN or en-GB. This is really strange. web.config is correct and doesn't force the localization.
View 1 RepliesI am developing a simple application. I have completed.
1 - Using Respositary Pattern
2 - using DataAnnotation for validation.
3 - Selecting, Creating, Updating and Deleting.
My Questions.1 - I have extra BL validation. Should I create Service layer or use that in Partial Class where my DataAnnotation is?
I dont want to use DataAnnotations in one class and other BL validation in another class. Is there a way to combine both or Should I use those separately. Confused here? Any examples to implement BL.
2 - I have lots of Calculations to run once record is reterived and insterted. Where I put these calculations? Should I make extensions and call in controller or Methods in separate file. Any clean approach.
3 - Can I use Repositary Pattern and Service model in ASP.NET webforms with ADO.NET, Entity Framework and Linq to sql?
4 - I don't know id this is stupid question. Can we use ADO.NET with DataAnnotation somehow in Webforms and ado.net with mvc?.
i know ASP.NET and i would like to learn and make a new project in ASP.NET MVC. Is it easy to move from asp.net to asp.net mvc? Will the knowledge i have so far be helpful? Im asking because i will have only few days to learn asp.net mvc and i want to know whether it's possible.
View 4 Repliesavoid using MS AJAX completely while developing ASP.NET Webforms applications and use jQuery/jQuery Tools instead?
I have a completed app running in a QA environment. Everything works fine under most circumstances.If you hit a plain URL (no identifying information in the URL), you see an intro page with a button (generated by an asp LinkButton control) that posts back and directs you to another page. The markup looks the same when it fails and when it doesn't.
When such a URL is followed from, e.g., Word and the default browser is IE, the intro page loads fine, but clicking the button causes an error. When not debugging, this behavior occurs every time. While debugging, the error occurs only ~ 1 in 10 times (closing the browser instance and starting over every time).When the error occurs, the intro page Page_Load fires and IsPostBack is false. Somehow, instead of a post, a get is being issued.
When I run fiddler to try to analyze the actual calls (can't use firebug because it never happens using Firefox), everything works every time.I don't know whether this issue has anything to do with routing, and I've no idea even what to look at next. The strange thing is, when I debug, the intro page doesn't fully load every time. Only about 1 in 3 times does it fully load even if I've just cleared browser cache. When I run it through fiddler, it fully loads and works fine every time.
I have been trying to figure out how to use the Routing features with ASP.net 4.0 WebForms. I added a route to my route collection:
void Application_Start()
{
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.MapPageRoute(
"about-route",
"about/",
"~/About.aspx"
);
}
In my master page I tried to do the following: <asp:HyperLink ID="asdf" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%= GetRouteUrl("about-route", new {}) %>'>Test</asdf> I got a compiler error: Server tags cannot contain <% ... %> constructs. What is the proper way to create a route URL in a server control in Web Forms? I also need to include it in the following:
<asp:Menu ID="NavigationMenu" runat="server" CssClass="menu" EnableViewState="false" IncludeStyleBlock="false" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Items>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="ROUTE HERE" Text="Home"/>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="ROUTE HERE" Text="About"/>
</Items>
</asp:Menu>

I currently work for a company that uses a combination of ASP.NET Webforms and legacy ASP pages for web development. This works fairly well for their current projects but I would like to convince / suggest to them to switch over to ASP.NET MVC since most of their codebase consists of wiring form elements to stored procedure parameters. Just using an ORM is also a possibility but I think it would be a good idea to use this opportunity to switch to an MVC framework.
However, I'm not sure how easy it will be to deploy an ASP.NET MVC app along side ASP.NET and Classic ASP code while the codebase is updated. First, I would like to ask if this is even possible. I've seen threads about running ASP.NET with Classic ASP and ASP.NET MVC with Webforms but not all three in the same application. They currently have Webforms and Classic ASP working together so the pitfalls associated with that are already solved.

With an existing n-tier web application using ASP.net WebForms what is the best approach to get TDD acceptance on the application. What is a good plan to gain acceptance by developers to move forward to write test first code opposed to ignoring the tests while the TDD implementation is in limbo?
Knowing there will be a large "in-limbo" time of low coverage:What areas of the model do you start writing tests for first? Critical use areas, or new development?
I'm using asp.net routing in a webforms app.
I would like to achieve the following url format:
http://[domain]/{parent-category}/{sub-category}/{sub-category}
where the right most category is available as a route value.
Currently I have achieved this with the following route:
routes.MapPageRoute(
"category-browse",
"{*category}",
"~/category.aspx"
);
This will pass all of the categories i.e. "trainers/running/nike-running-trainers" so I can grab the last one with a bit of string manipulation.
Is there a better way of doing this?
