I am using ASP.NET MVC 5 to develop my website. I'm using Grunt to minify my CSS and JS. Everything works fine, but I need to change the route source of my files if I'm making a publish (release mode) or I'm debugging (I need to read my CSS and JS clearly). Something like this: [Debug Mode] <script src="scripts/myscript.js"></script> [Relase Mode or Public Mode] <script src="dist/myscript.min.js"></script> I have read this post on StackOverflow( Razor view engine, how to enter preprocessor(#if debug) ) and I don't like the proposed solution because I think (not sure) that the loaded Razon View

I want to delete a product from my ASP.Net MVC 5 website. I want to know if adding [AntiForgeryToken] and [Authorize] is enough to secure the Delete operation? View <p>Delete: @Model.Name</p> @using (Html.BeginForm("Delete", "ProductController", FormMethod.Post, new { ProductId = Model.ProductId })) { @Html.AntiForgeryToken() <button type="submit">Delete</button> } Controller [HttpPost] [Authorize] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public ActionResult Delete(long ProductId) { /* Do I need to check if the logged in User has permission to delete the product? var product = ProductRepository.Get(Id); if

I have an application that is written on top of ASP.NET MVC. In one of my controllers, I need to create an object in C# so when it is converted to JSON using JsonConvert.SerializeObject() the results looks like this [ {'one': 'Un'}, {'two': 'Deux'}, {'three': 'Trois'} ] I tried to use Dictionary<string, string> like this var opts = new Dictionary<string, string>(); opts.Add("one", "Un"); opts.Add("two", "Deux"); opts.Add("three", "Trois"); var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(opts); However, the above creates the following json { 'one': 'Un', 'two': 'Deux', 'three': 'Trois' } How can I

I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 web application running on Azure as a webrole. Is there any way to easily password protect the entire website? I do not want any signup or account handling, just a single password to enter the site (and perhaps a username, but that's not required). Something similar to a .htaccess file. Every example on authentication for ASP.NET MVC I'm looking at comes with an enormous amount of code to implement, and Azure does not seem to be able to support Basic Authentication (at least not easily). ranquild You are right, there is no support for Basic Authentication in ASP.NET MVC

I'm having problem with date validation. In my View, I have a jQuery datepicker - I changed the format from yy/mm/dd to mm/dd/yy and now I get client-side validation errors. For example, The value '02/25/2014' is not valid for Date of Birth. The Javascript: $('#DateOfBirth').datepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy", yearRange: "-90:-5" }); The View Model: [Required] [Display(Name = "Date of Birth")] public DateTime? DateOfBirth { get; set; } The View: @Html.TextBoxFor(m=> m.DateOfBirth, "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", new { @class = "datepicker" }) Any ideas on this? Thanks.

I profiled my ASP.NET MVC application and I saw strange a function calls. You can see it on image Always when mvc render layout we invoke system.web.optimization.scripts.render which invoke JsMinify.Process and Minifier.MinifyJavaScript , but I thought what minification should be one time on the start app. Am I right? Maybe must I set some settings for optimization it? Conditions: localhost release BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; Great Question! Intuitively, you are right, minification of assets should be performed on application Startup . You assume that assets are delivered
