AuthorizeAttribute requires you to override the OnAuthorization method and IAuthorizationFilter requires you to implement an OnAuthorization method. Seems like the same thing to me, are there any other differences? Why would one be used over the other? EDIT: To clarify, I'm trying to understand what the difference is between the following 2 pieces of code. public class PasswordExpirationCheckAttribute : AuthorizeAttribute { private int _maxPasswordAgeInDays; public PasswordExpirationCheckAttribute(int maxPasswordAgeInDays) { _maxPasswordAgeInDays = maxPasswordAgeInDays; } public override void

As a bit of context, I'm developing an ASP.NET MVC 5 application that uses OAuth-based authentication via Microsoft's OWIN implementation, for Facebook and Google only at this stage. Currently (as of v3.0.0, git-commit 4932c2f), the FacebookAuthenticationOptions and GoogleOAuth2AuthenticationOptions don't provide any property to force Facebook nor Google respectively to reauthenticate users (via appending the appropriate query string parameters) when signing in.

I am using MVC 5. I have my ViewBag for list as ViewBag.TitleList = new SelectList((new string[] { "Mr", "Miss", "Ms", "Mrs" }), contact.Title); //contact.Title has selected value. then I tried converting the array to SelectListItem ( to no avail) On the View it looks like @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Title, ViewBag.TitleList as SelectList, "Select") also I tried @Html.DropDownList("Title", ViewBag.TitleList as SelectList, "Select") The list loads successfully but the Selected Value is Not selected . How to Fix this problem? Update The culprit was ViewBag.Title matching my model.Title.

I'm writing some code to access a database using EntityFrameWork. The code is: public IEnumerable<Rows> GetRows(int id) { using (var context = new ApplicationDbContext()) { var repository = new EntityFrameWorkRepository<int, RowEntity>(context); //need a ToList() here to prevent disposed dbcontext errors return repository.GetRowsFromDb(id).ToList(); } } GetRowsFromDb() uses LINQ to query the database and filter the results using id. I originally wrote the above method without the ToList() call, but when I tried to access objects in the IEnumerable which was returned, I would get an exception
