Say if I had this table in my db: Product It had ProductId ProductName ProductType Now for whatever reason I can't name my textboxes ProductName and ProductType so now my View Method would look like this public ViewResult Test([Bind(Exclude ="ProductId")] Product) So now through my playing around nothing would be matched in this product since they have different names. So I guess this is where Prefix would come in but I don't know how to use it. Nor how do I use it and Exclude at the same time. Can someone give me an example? The prefix is used as follows if in your view you have... <select

Working on my first ASP.Net MVC2 web app recently, I came across some issues when I needed to select multiple values in a list box. I worked around it with some jQuery, but went ahead and put together some very simple code to demonstrate. I'm using EF for the model, with two entities - Customers and HelpDeskCalls: Controller: public ActionResult Edit(int id) { Customer currCustomer = ctx.Customers.Include("HelpDeskCalls").Where(c => c.ID == id).FirstOrDefault(); List<HelpDeskCall> currCustCalls = (ctx.HelpDeskCalls.Where(h => h.CustomerID == id)).ToList(); List<SelectListItem> currSelectItems

Asp.Net MVC 2.0 preview builds provide helpers like Html.EditorFor(c => c.propertyname) If the property name is string, the above code renders a texbox. What if I want to pass in MaxLength and Size properties to the text box or my own css class property? Do I need to create one template for each size and length combinations in my application? If so, that doesn't make the default templates that usable. In MVC3, you can set width as follows: @Html.TextBoxFor(c => c.PropertyName, new { style = "width: 500px;" }) I solved this by creating an EditorTemplate named String.ascx in my /Views/Shared

OK, I have been hearing discussion about "ViewModels" in regards to MS's ASP.NET MVC. Now, that is intended to be a specific kind of Model, correct? Not a specific kind of View. To my understanding, it's a kind of Model that has a specific purpose of interacting with the View? Or something like that? Some clarification would be appreciated. Essentially Model and View Model are both simple classes with attributes. The main objective of these classes are to describe (to "Model") an object for their respective audiences that are respectively the controller and the view. So you are completely

I was looking at this tutorial http://asp-umb.neudesic.com/mvc/tutorials/validating-with-a-service-layer--cs on how to wrap my validation data around a wrapper. I would like to use dependency inject though. I am using ninject 2.0 namespace MvcApplication1.Models { public interface IValidationDictionary { void AddError(string key, string errorMessage); bool IsValid { get; } } } // wrapper using System.Web.Mvc; namespace MvcApplication1.Models { public class ModelStateWrapper : IValidationDictionary { private ModelStateDictionary _modelState; public ModelStateWrapper(ModelStateDictionary
