asp.net-mvc-5

I'm slightly baffled here - I'm receiving the following error: The SMTP host was not specified. Even though my code appears to be correct (from what I can see). I am able to do it manually by including all the details inside of the controller, e.g. SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com"); smtpClient.Port = 587; ... etc But I shouldn't have to do this, as I want to use the details inside mailSettings (Making it re-usable for various different controllers). mailSettings in my Web.Config file: <system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp from="example@gmail.com" deliveryMethod="Network" >

In my MVC-5 application, I have to create security stamp values manually . The current implementation of the identity team seems to use a guid. Guid.NewGuid().ToString("D") Is it safe to create a new Guid myself to use as a new security stamp value or will this lead to problems in future implementations of asp.net identity? Is there a method to let the identity framework create such a stamp-value for me so that my implementation is safe for future changes? Out of the documentation of the identity implementation for the entity-framework, it seems that it can be any random value: IdentityUser

I have a simple TestController class and User model: public class TestController : Controller { public ActionResult TestAction() { return View(); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult TestAction(User user) { return View(); } } public class User { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } } This is my form: As far as I know MVC is stateless and it does not have a viewstate concept.

I created an asp mvc3 project, I want to have a different _Layout.cshtml depending on which controller is selected. This is because with controller 1 it has 2 buttons with the controller2 there will be 3 and with the controller3 there will be 4. Each controller is for a specific type of user, so it depends on the login. How can i link a controller and its views to another Layout.cshtml, right now there is one layout and it's under the Shared folder. Thanks! The View should determine the layout, not the controller. The Controller should just determine what View is returned. Then in the top of
