asp.net-mvc-5

Running Visual Studio 2013, I created a new ASP.NET MVC (5) project, with Bootstrap. However, I'm unable to get unobtrusive client-side validation working. The model has [Required] attributes on the relevant properties and the view has ValidationMessageFor... tags for each field in the form. However, submitting the form causes the form to postback to server before validation messages appear. Using NuGet, I've installed jquery.validate and jquery.validate.unobtrusive and added them to the jquery bundle in App_Start . Yet it continues to stubbornly post back to server. F12 dev tools shows no JS

I am trying to learn C# ASP.NET MVC 5. And I am trying to use Entity Framework for everything I do. However, I need to run a raw SQL query and return the results into an array. Here is what I have done so far. I created my context class which allows me to connect to a server and it also allows me to change the database at run time. Here is my context class using ScripterEngine.Models; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Data.Common; using System.Data.Entity; using System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityClient; using System.Data.SqlClient; using System.Linq; using System.Web;

I am working in Visual Studio 2013 RC and am testing Forms Authentication using new Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.* packages. I would to integrate these concepts (Users, Roles, etc, etc) but want to use my own domain models (POCOs) which are in different assembly. I also don't want to create a dependency on Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.* dlls. Is that even possible? I found this article which says it is not, but the article is written based on Preview not RC versions of identity packages. I have updated my sample project which you can find here: Identity RC1 sample It now implements an entity

I need to capture date and time both for my model property. In my model class I have the following [Required] [DataType(DataType.DateTime)] public DateTime? CallBackDate { get; set; } When I enter a valid date time (e.g. 28/05/2015 15:55 ) I keep getting this error The field CallBackDate must be a date. I have seen similar question and tried various answers but nothing seems to get rid of this. I m using unobtrusive client side validation and I can't disable it. The source of the input field has the following markup <input autocomplete="off" class="jquery_datetimepicker form-control

I am trying to fix an intermittent issue when using Google as an external login provider. When attempting to login, the user is redirected back to the login page rather than being authenticated. The problem occurs on this line (line 55 of link below), GetExternalIdentityAsync returns null. var externalIdentity = await AuthenticationManager.GetExternalIdentityAsync(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie); The full code is: [Authorize] public abstract class GoogleAccountController<TUser> : Controller where TUser : Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.IUser { public IAuthenticationManager

I am about to migrate a bunch of projects from .NET 4.0 + MVC 3 to .NET 4.5.2 + MVC5. To make this easier, I've created a new blank MVC project to compare DLL references and some other stuff such as web.config. In the latter, the following entries are generated by Visual Studio: <system.codedom> <compilers> <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="
