In my Jquery script I post two doubles using the browser's CultureInfo (en-UK) that uses the . as a fraction separator. My MVC app is running on a server with locale nl-BE using the , as a fraction separator. [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public JsonResult GetGridCell(double longitude, double latitude) { var cell = new GridCellViewModel { X = (int)Math.Round(longitude, 0), Y = (int)Math.Round(latitude, 0) }; return Json(cell); } The modelbinding fails because of the parsing issue. I think it would be best to have my javascript set to en-UK and the same for the modelbinding in my MVC app. But I

I'm used to the ASP.NET Webforms easy way of doing AJAX with UpdatePanels. I understand the process is much more artisanal with MVC. In a specific case, I'm using Data Annotations to validate some form inputs. I use the HTML.ValidationMessageFor helper to show an error message. If I want to use AJAX to post this form and show this error message, what would be the process? Is it possible to keep the HTML.ValidationMessageFor and make it work with AJAX? Thank you.

I am using Url.Action to generate a URL with two query parameters on a site that has a doctype of XHTML strict. Url.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName", new { paramA="1" paramB="2" }) generates: /ControllerName/ActionName/?paramA=1&paramB=2 but I need it to generate the url with the ampersand escaped: /ControllerName/ActionName/?paramA=1&paramB=2 The fact that Url.Action is returning the URL with the ampersand not escaped breaks my HTML validation. My current solution is to just manually replace ampersand in the URL returned from Url.Action with an escaped ampersand. Is there a built in or

I am new to MVC 3, razor view engine. I want to set the visibility of a textbox at runtime as per the value in my viewmodel. But the below code is not working. <td> @Html.TextBox("CompanyName", "", new { visible = "false" }) </td> Once above code starts working, I could place @Model.EnableCompanyName in place of hardcoded "false". So please help me in rectifying the above code. This will change the display type based on your bool Model.EnableCompanyName :) Hope it helps! @{ String displayMode = (Model.EnableCompanyName) ? "inline" : "none"; @Html.TextBox("CompanyName", "", new { style =

I want to use MVC views to create the body for an email and I have come across this ( http://www.brightmix.com/blog/renderpartial-to-string-in-asp-net-mvc/ ) but it doesn't seem to work with strongly typed views (ViewContext is null). But I was after something the would render a full view including a masterpage. I thought that if there was a way of just invoking a view with out redirecting and just writing to a different stream and sending the email within the controller that might do it, but I can't work out how to invoke a view. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance. Gifster

I'm new with MVC2, and am having a formatting problem. I have a DateTime property in my Employee model that I would like displayed with the Short Date Time. This however, does not appear to be the correct method. 1 <div class="editor-field"> 2 <%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.DateRequested.ToShortDateString()) %> 3 <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DateRequested) %> 4 </div> Line 2 throws this exception: Templates can be used only with field access, property access, single-dimension array index, or single-parameter custom indexer expressions. What is the correct way to handle

We recently updated our solution to MVC 2, and this has updated the way that the AntiForgeryToken works. Unfortunately this does not fit with our AJAX framework any more. The problem is that MVC 2 now uses symmetric encryption to encode some properties about the user, including the user's Name property (from IPrincipal ). We are able to securely register a new user using AJAX, after which subsequent AJAX calls will be invalid as the anti forgery token will change when the user has been granted a new principal. There are also other cases when this may happen, such as a user updating their name
