MVC 2
Anything and everything to do with ASP.NET MVC 2.
My involvement in MVC 2 started almost a year ago, and it has been one crazy year! For me this is a rather important release because it was really the first major project I have ever worked on and my first Microsoft project to RTM. I have grown leaps and bounds over this last year and learned more than I ever thought I could. I had the privilege of working with some of the smartest people I know and to be quite frank it was rather humbling. My hat goes off to each and everyone of them for having...
Okay so if you read this title and said “wait… MVC has Script helpers?!” you should first go read my original post on MVC Script & Css Helpers. Okay now for those of you who know what they are or just finished reading about them, I was able to add a small feature from Beta to RC to the script helper that I just didn’t have time to code the first time. If you download the new RC futures assembly and add it to your project or update the existing one you will notice that the script helper now has...

Okay so lets start with a little bit of background on what a HTTP verb is. Raise your hand if you know what they are… Okay put it down people in your office are starting to stare at you.

In all actuality it is two separate “features” that basically do the same thing. Okay, I think I might be blowing it out of proportion they are basically two new HTML helpers “Script” and “Css”
The Problem:
When you add links to to files (aka Scripts and CSS) the URLs are normally relative to the current page’s URL. This means that if you have “../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js” it means go up...
I am proud to announce that ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 has been released! So what are you waiting for? Go download it, its okay I’ll wait here… If you are running MVC 1.0 the good news is that just like Preview 1, Preview 2 can live side by side with it. However, as with previous preview releases, it is recommended that you uninstall Preview 1 prior to installing Preview 2. Currently there is no glamorous way of converting a MVC 1.0 project to a MVC 2 project but it is a pretty simple process and instructions can be found...
