asp.net-mvc-5

I have an ancient MVC2 solution that I migrated to MVC5 (Visual Studio 2013). I'd like to update the old libraries used in the project with the new ones. I have by eg. the jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js library. Is it obsolete as by now? I ask because that library references /// <reference path="jquery-1.4.4.js" /> but I upgraded the jQuery (I use the jQuery v1.8.3 by now). If it with what to replace (like jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js (?)) PS. In a default MVC project Visual Studio 2013 proposes the folowing "validation" scripts: jquery.validate-vsdoc.js jquery.validate.js jquery.validate.min.js

I want to use the placeholder attribute in the Html.EditorFor so I did just like in the first answer: Html5 Placeholders with .NET MVC 3 Razor EditorFor extension? But in the final part, I don't have the EditorTemplates folder so I created it and when I tried to create the string.cshtml view I couldn't because the name "string" is reserved so I chose stringg.cshtml instead and it didn't work! Do I have to change the name elsewhere in my program? I did exactly like the answer... Thank you! Medo Upgrade to MVC 5.1 and you can use HTML attributes in EditorFor: @Html.EditorFor(m => m.variable, new

In a C# MVC5 Internet application view, how can I display a dropdown list for a user to select a list item that is populated from a View Model list? Here is the ViewModel code: public class MapLocationItemViewModel { [Editable(false)] public int mapLocationForeignKeyId { get; set; } public List<string> mapLocationItemTypes { get; set; } public MapLocationItem mapLocationItem { get; set; } } Here is the code that I currently have in the View : <div class="form-group"> @Html.LabelFor(model => model.mapLocationItem.mapLocationItemType, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" }) <div class="col-md

I am trying to lock down our "admin" page to only admins using Asp.net Identity (we are building in MVC5). I can get [Authorize(Users="admin")] to work but can not get [Authorize(Roles="Admin")] to work. I have created the role in the dbo.AspNetRoles table and then associated the account in the AspNetUserRoles by pairing the user GUID to the ID in the aspnetroles table. I have seen in previous editions of MVC you have had to get into web.config to add some lines. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Have you specified in the web.config that you are going to use roles? <roleManager

in ASP MVC5 RC I didn't get the role system to work. My database has all needs tables an role exist but proofing if user is in role always return false (no SQL exception or something)!? Did I need to activate role system for IPrincipal somewhere? Test code: AccountController accCont = new AccountController(); // check role exist : result = true var roleExist = await accCont.IdentityManager.Roles.RoleExistsAsync("61c84919-72e2-4114-9520-83a3e5f09de1"); // try find role by name : result = role object var role = await accCont.IdentityManager.Roles.FindRoleByNameAsync("ProjectAdministrator"); //

I have the following problem. While using the following code below to change the user's current role i am getting an exception with the message like below: [HttpPost] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public virtual ActionResult Edit(User user, string role) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { var oldUser = DB.Users.SingleOrDefault(u => u.Id == user.Id); var oldRoleId = oldUser.Roles.SingleOrDefault().RoleId; var oldRoleName = DB.Roles.SingleOrDefault(r => r.Id == oldRoleId).Name; if (oldRoleName != role) { Manager.RemoveFromRole(user.Id, oldRoleName); Manager.AddToRole(user.Id, role); } DB.Entry(user).State

I am working on e-tier architecture within MVC framework (ASP.NET MVC5, Entity Framework 6). My application is divided into three sub-projects which are Business-Layer, Data-Access-Layer, Repository (This include repository and Unit of Work) and ASP.NET MVC web-app. I am struggling to understand mapping between business data and entity framework model. for example if I have model class User in entity framework as DAL - User Model [Table("User")] public class User { public User() { } [Key] public int UserID { get; set; } [StringLength(250)] [Required] public string FirstName { get; set; }
