asp.net-4.5

Regarding ASP.NET 4.5's new System.Web.Optimization / Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization: Can anyone explain the difference in the use of bundling resources using the BundleConfig.cs class file as opposed to the bundle.config xml file? I've seen some articles showing bundling both js and css in BundleConfig.cs, while others showing bundling js in BundleConfig.cs and css in bundle.config. I guess I don't understand #1) why you wouldn't just do them both one particular way for simplicity - and #2) why anyone would prefer to hard-code resources like that in a class file? It seems like a much more

I need to get the UserId Guid directly after a successful login. The following code doesn't work: if (Membership.ValidateUser(txtUsername.Value, txtPassword.Value)) { FormsAuthentication.SignOut(); FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(txtUsername.Value, true); if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) { // doesn't run Guid puk = (Guid)Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey; } } The following code does work: if (Membership.ValidateUser(txtUsername.Value, txtPassword.Value)) { FormsAuthentication.SignOut(); FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(txtUsername.Value, true); MembershipUser user =

Is there a difference between requestValidationMode="4.5" and requestValidationMode="2.0"? I have a .net 4.5 application, there is a control which I don't want to validate, as users can enter html tags in: <asp:TextBox ID="txtTitle" runat="server" ValidateRequestMode="Disabled" /> in my web.config i have: <compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.5">...</compilation> <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" requestValidationMode="2.0" /> initially I have put requestValidationMode="4.5" but that didn't work, I would still get the error about the tags - "A potentially

I have tried to create simple proof-of-concept ASP.NET MVC 4 web site using areas in separate projects. I tried to following tutorials: http://bob.archer.net/content/aspnet-mvc3-areas-separate-projects (Application doesn't work in virtual directory... I use IIS). I hope there is better way than virtual directories. Then I tried this tutorial: http://forums.asp.net/t/1483660.aspx/1 But there is no "AreasManifestDir" element in *.csproj of area project (and got error "The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations") Is there still support in ASP

Its been a while since I setup a Build Server so maybe I've forgotten something or maybe .NET 4.5 is different from whatever version I did this with last time, but here is my problem. I'm trying to setup a build server to monitor a source control repository. Whenever something changes, I want the server to pull the changes and build the project. If there are no errors, I want to deploy the site to a web site running on the build server. In the past when I did this, I thought that I was able to do this having only .NET installed, but when I try to build this project I get an error that "C:

I've just downoaded a VS 2012 along with ASP.NET 4.5 and MVC 4.0 and was kicking the tires with a sample app and found that the forms authentication that works perfectly with ASP.NET 4.0/MVC 3 no longer seems to work with the latest release. When I make a call to the Login function in the action controller, the WebSecurity.Login call fails: public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model, string returnUrl) { if (ModelState.IsValid && WebSecurity.Login(model.UserName, model.Password, persistCookie: model.RememberMe)) { return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl); } // If we got this far, something failed,
