asp.net-mvc-2

I have a asp.net mvc project and persistent is handled by repositories . Form authentication is used. Now I need implement authorization . For example , I need to ensure a manager user can only open his/her taskes and assign workers to the taskes. A worker will only see taskes that have been assigned to him/her. A super-moderator can edit everything. Is there any ready to use framework that allow me to define permissions ? I am in the process of evaluating Ayende Rhino Security . Where can I get more examples codes ? What is your opinion on Rhino Security ? My project use Linq to SQL and has

For now, I just want to use HTTP POST to send json to asp.net mvc2 controller. Since the JSON is actually a list of JSON objects, and each of them has different fields & length, so it hard for me to make up a input model. So I want to know is there a way for me to post JSON without model/ajax to a controller in ASP.NET MVC2? Building on @Brian's answer, we have done exactly this. Keep in mind this is Jquery 1.4.2 This is broken out a bit and could be simplified, but it is using callbacks instead of full on posts. It was initially used for filtering results real time and reloading the first

How can I send the value of the TextBox as a parameter of the ActionLink? I need to use the Html.TextBoxFor <%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.SomeField)%> <%= Ajax.ActionLink("Link Text", "MyAction", "MyController", new { foo = "I need here the content of the textBox, I mean the 'SomeField' value"}, new AjaxOptions{ UpdateTargetId = "updateTargetId"} )%> The Contoller/Actions looks like this: public class MyController{ public ActionResult MyAction(string foo) { /* return your content */ } } Using MVC 2.0 How can I send the value of the TextBox as a parameter of the ActionLink? The semantically

I've been using ASP.net MVC for about two years now and I'm still learning the best way to structure an application. I wanted to throw out these ideas that I've gathered and see if they are "acceptable" ways in the community to design MVC applications. Here is my basic layout: DataAccess Project - Contains all repository classes, LINQ-to-SQL data contexts, Filters, and custom business objects for non-MS SQL db repositories (that LINQ-to-SQL doesn't create). The repositories typically only have basic CRUD for the object they're managing. Service Project - Contains service classes that perform

I am currently trying to implement some custom security in an ASP.NET MVC2 web application. I am trying to do something really simple as my code below shows but for some reason if I use the [Authorize(Roles="Admins")] attribute on one of my controller actions, check the Context.User.IsInRole("Admins") or Page.User.IsInRole("Admins") it is always false. It is also weird that the User.Identity.Name is also blank. See my code below, I am using a FormsAuthenticationTicket within a cookie which I then use in the Application_AuthenticateRequest event handle within my Gloabl.asax to set the Context

Inside an asp.net mvc 2 controller, I have the following code: using (BackgroundWorker worker = new BackgroundWorker()) { worker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(blah); worker.RunWorkerAsync(var); } My question is: is this code async, meaning it launches a new thread and the controller returns the view while 'blah' is executing in parallel? If not, how would I achieve these results? In MVC 2 there is a new feature called the AsyncController which is the correct way to do async calls in MVC. Your controller should inherit from AsyncController rather than controller. Then you your primary action

I would like to have custom error pages unique to an MVC area. Unfortunately, it appears that the Web.config override system doesn't take the MVC folder structure into account. If I want to override an area called "mobile", I have to create a root project folder (in with Views and Controllers) named "mobile" and put the Web.config in there with the new customErrors element. Is there some better way to do this so that I don't have to create a root folder for any overrides? I've been looking for exactly the same thing. One slight change that I do is to use a location element within the main web
