I have a strange problem with my model passed to the View Controller [Authorize] public ActionResult Sth() { return View("~/Views/Sth/Sth.cshtml", "abc"); } View @model string @{ ViewBag.Title = "lorem"; Layout = "~/Views/Shared/Default.cshtml"; } The error message The view '~/Views/Sth/Sth.cshtml' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched: ~/Views/Sth/Sth.cshtml ~/Views/Sth/abc.master //string model is threated as a possible Layout's name ? ~/Views/Shared/abc.master ~/Views/Sth/abc.cshtml ~/Views/Sth/abc.vbhtml ~/Views

A little benchmark with ASP.NET MVC. Viewpage code: public string Bechmark(Func<string> url) { var s = new Stopwatch(); var n = 1000; s.Reset(); s.Start(); for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { var u = url(); } s.Stop(); return s.ElapsedMilliseconds + " ms, " + ((s.ElapsedMilliseconds) / (float)n) + " ms per link<br/>"; } View code: <%= Bechmark(() => Url.Action("Login", "Account")) %> <%= Bechmark(() => Url.Action("Login", "Account", new {username="bla", password="bla2", returnurl="blabla32", rememberme=false} )) %> <%= Bechmark(() => Html.BuildUrlFromExpression<AccountController>(a=>a.ChangePassword

I'm just getting started with ASP.NET MVC. What is the difference between MapRoute and routes.Add ? Should I just be using MapRoute? Can I map multiple routes? Which "maps" take precedence... those you called first or last? I'd like to be able to do something similiar to the StackOverflow does for users. But I would like the URL to fit this pattern: "User/{domain}/{username}" to be routed to a UserController and for all other requests to do the typical ASP.NET MVC routing. ex: routes.MapRoute( "Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" } );

I have defined an area (Admin) in my ASP.NET MVC 3 application, created _ViewStart.cshtml in that area and added Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; to it to have a unified site layout. I also added the following code to _Layout.cshtml : if (HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Admin")) { <li>@Html.ActionLink("Items List", "Index", "Items", new { area = "Admin" }, null)</li> } The Admin area is displayed properly having _Layout.cshtml as its layout. But all the navigation links in the page now point to Admin subfolder. For example in my layout I have <li>@Html.ActionLink("About Us", "About

I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 application where users can post suggestions along the lines of "bla bla would be better if yada yada yada". For the suggestion detail page I have defined a nice SEO friendly route as follows: routes.MapRoute(null, "suggestion/{id}/{it}/would-be-better-if-{if}", new { controller = "suggestion", action = "details" }); As you can see I want the "would be better if" part to be fixed. This route works perfectly for any old suggestion and generates links like suggestion/5/this-site/would-be-better-if-it-had-a-iphone-application , and clicking on the link actually requests

I would like to setup a multi-tenant ASP.NET MVC app. Ideally, this app would have a route with {tenant}/{controller}/{action}/{id} , each tenant representing an logical instance of the app (simply independent multi-user accounts) The fine grained details how do that are still quite unclear to me. Any guide available to setup such multi-tenant scheme with ASP.NET MVC? I am currently working on a similar project using ASP.Net MVC, Forms Authentication and the SQL providers for Membership/Roles/Profile. Here is the approach I am taking: Register the default route as `{tenant}/{controller}/
