If I set a breakpoint in the compiled code (for instance in an action), I can then step through, and eventually am stepping through the generation of the View. I've found this useful a couple of times, but it's tedious as you have to step through a lot of code to get there. However, I can't set a breakpoint in view. I just receive the message 'This is not a valid location for a breakpoint' from VS2008. Why is this? Right click on the code you want to break on and go to "Breakpoint -> Insert Breakpoint". Why? Must have something to do with the face your not working with a pure code file and

We are facing a specific problem where in on click of backbutton, the default get method is not getting triggered in asp.net mvc any specific solutions ? John Smith If the browser has the page cached, it'll use the one from cache. Try telling the response not to cache. You can do it with an ActionFilter or globally in Global.asax. httpContext.Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-1)); httpContext.Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(false); httpContext.Response.Cache.SetRevalidation(HttpCacheRevalidation.AllCaches); httpContext.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability

In my ASP.NET MVC 2 application I use HandleErrorAttribute to display a custom error page in case of unhandled exceptions, and it works perfectly unless the exception happens in an action called by Ajax.ActionLink. In this case nothing happens. Is it possible to use HandleErrorAttribute to update the target element with the contents of an "Error.ascx" partial view? To achieve this you could write a custom action filter: public class AjaxAwareHandleErrorAttribute : HandleErrorAttribute { public string PartialViewName { get; set; } public override void OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext)

In _Layout.cshtml file I have following entry: @Html.Action("LoadPagesStructure", "Page") Inside PageController class, LoadPagesStructure methos looks following: [ChildActionOnly] /* this attribute indicates that an action should not be invoked as a result of a user request (by url) */ public ActionResult LoadPagesStructure() { ViewModel.Pages = new List<string>() {"page1", "page2", "page3"}; return View(); } Finally, my LoadPagesStructure.cshtml view looks like below: @inherits System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage<dynamic> <ul> @foreach (var page in View.Pages) { <li> @Html.ActionLink(page, "Index",

I can't seem to get any client side validation working on a MVC 2 RC app. My model has the following: public class ExampleModel { [Required(ErrorMessage="Test1 is required")] [DisplayName("Test1")] public string Test1 { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage="Test2 is required")] [DisplayName("Test2")] public string Test2 { get; set; } } My view has the following code: <% Html.EnableClientValidation(); %> <%= Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Test was unsuccessful.") %> <% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %> <div> <div class="editor-label">Test1:</div> <div class="editor-field"> <%= Html.TextBoxFor(m => m

i created a new solution and it builds fine targeting framework 4.0 but when i run it, my browser comes up saying: The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: / any ideas on how to debug this? Try adding the default.aspx page that comes with the asp.net mvc 1.0 project template. I had a similar issue running mvc 2 out of the box on a computer with IIS 5 (XP)

Is there a good way to restrict the access to an action, so you can only access it, if you were redirected from another action. For example: [HttpPost] public virtual ActionResult Create(MyViewModel vm) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { // do some work return RedirectToAction("CreateSuccess"); } else { return View(vm); } } public virtual ActionResult CreateSuccess() { // only allow execution if you were redirected from Action "Create" } An easy way would be to store a flag in TempData in the first method and check that the flag exists in the method that is redirected to. TempData is there to pass
