ASP.Net MVC

Using Visual Studio symbols and source files makes debugging much easier. I am specially happy about ASP.NET MVC 2 source files because I develop on ASP.NET MVC 2 almost every day. You may also find other useful symbols and source files. In this posting I will show you how to get ASP.NET MVC source to your computer and how to use it.

"Learn how to use the [Authorize] attribute to password protect particular pages in your MVC application. You learn how to use the Web Site Administration Tool to create and manage users and roles. You also learn how to configure where user account and role information is stored."

So it turns out adding authorization was a 2 min job, using the existing membership provider.. :)

"You cannot use routing or web.config files to secure your MVC application. The only supported way to secure your MVC application is to use a base class with an [Authorize] attribute, and then have each controller type subclass that base type. "

"Due to popular demand, here is a tutorial on how I created one of the more complicated pieces of machinery on my new site: the contact form. A lot of different techniques went into this"

I'm not the one that thinks so. Everyone else decided on that :D

EVERYONE!? That's a bit arrogant. Even for you. :P

This link helped me the most in terms of figuring out how to implement jQuery validation with MVC. It includes a sample app that is very useful.

Thanx. Will check it out.

"This walkthrough shows how to get started with adding ASP.NET AJAX functionality to an ASP.NET MVC application. "

"Many people on the forums want to know how to best protect Actions on their Controller using Forms Authentication. The MVC Team has done a nice job introducing Filters (using Attributes) to this latest drop of MVC, and in this post I'll show you how to create a filter that can handle security."

"Many Web applications require a way to restrict access to some resources (such as specific pages) so that those resources are accessible only to authenticated users. The default Web application project template for ASP.NET MVC provides a controller, data models, and views that you can use to add ASP.NET forms authentication to your application. The built-in functionality lets users register, log on and off, and change their password. For many applications, this functionality provides a sufficient level of user authentication."

"The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is an architectural design principle that separates the components of a Web application. This separation gives you more control over the individual parts of the application, which lets you more easily develop, modify, and test them."

Is there a way you can rate these links. I.e. which were most helpful?

I'll delete the ones that sucked and also perhaps flag the useful ones with a Like click

That sounds like a good plan. Tnx. :)
