I have an action method that I need to execute when the back button is clicked. I've done this before by disabling the cache in my action method (Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache). This isn't working for a different action method. For some reason when i disable the cache and hit the back button to trigger my action method the page expires. Any ideas on what the issue may be? There is no way to know, on the server side, if the page request was the result of the back button or not. More than likely, the previous request was a post rather than a get, and the post requires

I'm wondering whether other people are having this same issue or whether it's just me ! Given I have a View Purchases.aspx and a partial view Purchases.ascx : Within Purchases.aspx if I do: Html.RenderPartial("Purchases") then WebDev.WebServer40.exe basically closes. I'm guessing that this is caused by a Stack Overflow because RenderPartial cannot determine what it's supposed to render (.aspx or .ascx). Is this a bug, is it a defined behaviour, or is it just happening for me? It is defined behaviour since the ViewLocationFormats and PartialViewLocationFormats are defined as follows and an aspx

Having some trouble with some routes. I don't fully understand the MVC routing system so bear with me. I've got two controllers, Products and Home (with more to come!). I want to have the views within the Home controller accessible without having to type Home in the url. Essentially I want to turn www.example.com/home/about into www.example.com/about, however I still want to preserve the www.example.com/products. Here's what I have so far. routes.MapRoute( "Home", "{action}", new { controller = "Home" } ); routes.MapRoute( "Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "home",

I have forms posting data from instances of a particular abstract class: public abstract class IRestriction { public string Name {get; set;} public abstract IModelBinder GetBinder(); } The concrete type and PartialView are determined at runtime: IRestriction restriction = (IRestriction)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(restriction.restriction_class)); The appropriate partial view is then rendered correctly. When the form is sent back the type is inferred correctly and activated the same way. However, I haven't been able to get UpdateModel to bind to the concrete implementation. How do I

I'm trying to get the current Route into my navigation controller so I can run comparisons as the navigation menu data is populated. My Links object is like this: public class StreamNavLinks { public string Text { get; set; } public RouteValueDictionary RouteValues { get; set; } public bool IsSelected { get; set; } } In the master page, I'm trying to pass the current route to the nav controller like this: <% Html.RenderAction( "MenuOfStreamEntries", // action "Nav", // controller new { // parameters for action currentStreamUrl = "Blog", currentRoute = ViewContext.RouteData } // get route data

Is there a way I can format for example: 0000000000 into (000)000-0000? I'm returning a listbox which holds a collection of phone number which arent formated yet. What I would like is format it. This is what I have in the View: <%= Html.ListBox("phoneList")%> and from the controller: ViewData["phoneList"] = new SelectList(phoneList); Edit $('#phoneList').each(function() { var phoneNumber = $(this).text(); var formatPhoneNumber = phoneNumber.replace(/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/, '($1)$2-$3'); alert(formatPhoneNumber); }); how would I assign this back to show in the ListBox? If you're saying that you
