I need to validate an input field value from user before the form is submitted. I have created an action in my custom controller and decorated the field with it: action name: CheckValue controller name: Validate [Remote("CheckValue", "Validate"), ErrorMessage="Value is not valid"] public string Value { get; set; } The problem is when I press submit, the form is being submitted and then the message Value is not valid is shown if the value entered by the user is not valid. How can I validate the value entered by user and prevent the form to be submitted if value is not valid, and display the

I need to have both windows authentication and owin (forms) authentication but i can't get it to work. Probably the best option is to have two sites that have different authentication methods. I found a project that does what i want: MVC5-MixedAuth . But it uses IISExpress and i can't get it to work with Local IIS. The error that occurs is: Request filtering is configured on the Web server to deny the request because the query string is too long. If i remove all my ConfigureAuth() method inside Startup.Auth.cs it doesn't throw the error but i can't login because it is needed to do

I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 webproject (localhost:81) that calls functions from my WebApi 2 project (localhost:82) using Knockoutjs, to make the communication between the two projects I enable CORS. Everything works so far until I tried to implement OWIN token authentication to the WebApi. To use the /token endpoint on the WebApi, I also need to enable CORS on the endpoint but after hours of trying and searching for solutions it is still now working and the api/token still results in: XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:82/token. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the

I'm new to ASP.NET MVC 5 and I'm finding very uncomfortable with Identity authentication + authorization framework. I know this is a new feature of the ASP.NET MVC framework, so I'd like to apply an alternative way to implement authentication in m y application. Is it possible? I read I could use the FormsAuthenticationModule . Is this a good alternative? How can I use it in a MVC 5 based application? I felt the same way when taking a look at Identity. It adds lots of unnecessary abstractions and does not suit with my case that I have legacy system which implemented customised authentication

I'm extending the ApplicationUser class by adding a new property (as shown in the tutorial Create an ASP.NET MVC 5 App with Facebook and Google OAuth2 and OpenID Sign-on (C#) ) public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser { public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; } } Now I want to create a Unit Test to verify that my AccountController is correctly saving the BirthDate. I've created an in-memory user store named TestUserStore [TestMethod] public void Register() { // Arrange var userManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(new TestUserStore<ApplicationUser>()); var controller = new

I'm using Visual Studio 2012 and have just installed "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Frameworks 2013.1 - Visual Studio" . As expected, it added the option to create an "ASP.NET MVC 5 Empty Project" . The thing is, I see no way of jump-starting an already functional "base application" as I had when I was using MVC 4 (e.g. "Asp.NET MVC 4 Web Application" ). I only see an empty template. I've seen answers such as: How can I add the MVC 5 project template to VS 2012?
