In Asp.net MVC the url structure goes like http://example.com/ {controller}/{action}/{id} For each "controller", say http://example.com/blog , there is a BlogController. But my {controller} portion of the url is not decided pre-hand, but it is dynamically determined at run time, how do I create a "dynamic controller" that maps anything to the same controller which then based on the value and determines what to do? Same thing with {action}, if the {action} portion of my url is also dynamic, is there a way to program this scenario? Ryan Absolutely! You'll need to override the

I have just started using the AsyncController in my project to take care of some long-running reports. Seemed ideal at the time since I could kick off the report and then perform a few other actions while waiting for it to come back and populate elements on the screen. My controller looks a bit like this. I tried to use a thread to perform the long task which I'd hoped would free up the controller to take more requests: public class ReportsController : AsyncController { public void LongRunningActionAsync() { AsyncManager.OutstandingOperations.Increment(); var newThread = new Thread(LongTask);

WORKS <a href="@Url.Action("edit", "markets", new { id = 1 })" data-rel="dialog" data-transition="pop" data-icon="gear" class="ui-btn-right">Edit</a> DOES NOT WORK - WHY? @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "edit", "markets", new { id = 1 }, new {@class="ui-btn-right", data-icon="gear"}) It seems you can't pass something like data-icon="gear" into htmlAttributes? Suggestions? The problem is that your anonymous object property data-icon has an invalid name. C# properties cannot have dashes in their names. There are two ways you can get around that: Use an underscore instead of dash (MVC will automatically

I'm currently developing a site using ASP.Net MVC3 with Razor. Inside the "View/Shared" folder, I want to add a subfolder called "Partials" where I can place all of my partial views (for the sake of organizing the site better. I can do this without a problem as long as I always reference the "Partials" folder when calling the views (using Razor): @Html.Partial("Partials/{ViewName}") My question is if there is a way to add the "Partials" folder to the list that .Net goes through when searching for a view, this way I can call my view without having to reference the "Partials" folder, like so:

I've been struggling all day to implement error handling in my ASP.NET MVC 2 app. I've looked at a variety of techniques, but none work properly. I'm using MVC2 and .NET 4.0 (started the project before MVC3 was released; we'll upgrade after we deliver our initial release). At this point, I'll be happy to properly handle 404 and 500 errors -- 403 (authorization required) would be great, too, followed by various other specific responses. Right now, I either get all 404s, all 500s, all 302s before the 404, or all 302s before the 500. Here are my requirements (which should be pretty close to the

I have a shared master page which I am using from 2 different areas in my mvc 2 app. The master page has an action link which currently specifies the controller and action, but of course the link doesn't work if I'm in the wrong area. I see no overload for actionlink that takes an area parameter, is it possible to do? Figured it out.. Html.ActionLink("Link Text", "ActionName", "ControllerName", new { Area = "AreaName" }, new{}) Something I ran into right after this, that I imagine others might run into: If you need to link from within an area to an action not in an area, you still need to
