Stephen Walther on ASP.NET MVC

In this tip, I demonstrate how you can create a custom HTML Helper that you can use to generate a user interface for paging through a set of database records. I build on the work of Troy Goode and Martijn Boland. I also demonstrate how you can build unit tests for HTML Helpers by faking the HtmlHelper class.

In this series of blog posts, I build an entire ASP.NET MVC Forums application from start to finish. In this post, I explain how to test and implement authentication and authorization for the Forums application.

In this tip, I demonstrate how to take advantage of the validators from the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace in an MVC application. You can take advantage of these validators to validate form data before submitting the form data into a database.

In this tip, I demonstrate how you can use the Microsoft Enterprise Validation Application Block within an MVC application to perform both basic and advanced form validation. The Validation Application Block supports a rich set of validators that you can begin using in an ASP.NET MVC application.

I received a lot of feedback on my last blog entry on implementing server-side form validation for the MVC Forums application. Thank you everyone for the feedback!

In this series of blog entries, I build an entire ASP.NET MVC forums application from start to finish. In this blog entry, I add server-side form validation to the forums application.

In this tip, I demonstrate three methods of creating cascading drop down lists in an MVC application. First, I demonstrate how to write JavaScript code to update one dropdown list when another dropdown list changes. Next, I show you how you can retrieve the data for the dropdown lists from either a controller action or a web service.

In this series of blog entries, I build an entire ASP.NET MVC forums application from start to finish. In this blog entry, I add the functionality to the Forums application that enables users to post new messages and replies.
