I am trying to use the model ListModel as a generic list model. I would like to enter on the page @Html.DisplayForModel() However the MVC is not correctly finding the templated file "ListModel.cshtml". It must work differently for generic models. What should I name the templated file in order for it to correctly be located? public class ListModel<T> { public IEnumerable<T> Models { get; set; } public string NextPage { get; set; } } I would expect it to look for Shared/DisplayTemplates/ListModel.ascx but it doesn't. Does anyone know? Edit: I did end up solving this by simply removing the

I'm planing to build a multi-step form with asp.net mvc 2. So, my web application will have 5 pages correspond to 5 steps. Each step has two submit buttons, previous and next. Input data for each step will be stored for reviewing later. For example, we already inputted data for step s 1,2,3,4 and we are in step 5 now. When I click on "previous" 2 times, step 3 should be displayed with data I inputted before. Similar, when I click "next", inputted data should also be retained in step 4 (since we are in step 3 now) Model used for each step can be very different. I'm seeking a solution to save

This works fine [MetadataType(typeof(Area_Validation))] public partial class Area { ... } public class Area_Validation { [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please add this field.")] public int Email { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please add this field")] public string Name { get; set; } } but how about if Area_Validation is dynamically created ? for example Subscription Fields that on back-end can be created by the user and end up like this: How can I set the Metadata on each field for auto validation ? Currently I'm doing: public class SubscriberFormViewModel { public List

So I'm extremely new to ASP.NET MVC and Interface design. I've been asking a lot of questions and reading a lot of articles trying to make sense of it all. Due to a crisis at work, I have been called upon to do my best and learn this environment. And although it's been frustrating to grasp, I am slowly getting it. I have created an image in photoshop that shows my basic understanding of how the Repository Pattern works and why it's very much recommended. I'm trying to deploy this pattern at work and I want to make sure I get the major points I ask you to point out any glaring (not anal or

I have a fairly standard sort/filter/page search form but need control over the format of the url. The sort/filter/page parameters should all be part of the url so that, for example, the address could be emailed to someone. When another filter parameter is added, a POST request is made. My controller method looks like this: [HttpPost] public ActionResult Search(string filterField, Operator filterOperator, string filterValue, PeopleGroupSearchModel model); The PeopleGroupSearchModel is populated from query string parameters. The filter* parameters are coming from the posted form values. I would

I want DefaultModelBinder not to perform any validation based on DataAnnotations metadata. I'm already using DataAnnotations with DynamicData for the admin area of my site, and I need a different set of validation rules for the MVC based front-end. I'm decorating my classes with the MetadataType attribute. If I could have different MetadataType classes for the same model but used on different scenarios that would be great. If not I'm fine with just disabling the validation on the DefaultModelBinder, either by setting some property or by creating a specialized version of it. Take a look at
