Thanks Doug for your reply. Under Account, there is only login; and when you try to login there is no place to register as a new user.

Thanks,

Glad it worked out for you. =]

Hi, Doug

I looked through the implementation, looks like to be good at asp.net mvc you have to

1. A proficient Javascripter, preferably jQuery
2. Lose all the goodies the drag-and-drop custom controls offered to us in Web Forms (no gridview, no validators for free); you have to hand code all of those with html and javascript. (that's why TDD is so much needed in asp.net MVC; in web forms we don't have to test if gridview or validators have bugs, they are written for us by the good fellows in Microsoft; they are debugged and componentized for us to use for free. Now, I have to do all of that on top of the business logic programming; I guess I need to ask for a big pay-raise :)

Hi Jiang, Doug,

did the code run without any changes ?
I just ran the code in VS 2008 Pro and I still get an error (compile works fine but I get an error on runtime :

First it errors on Article Queries :
on line 159 :
int count = Configuration.TheBeerHouseSection.Current.Articles.PageSize;

The type initializer for 'TheBeerHouse.Configuration.TheBeerHouseSection' threw an exception.

when I hit F5, I get this error (configuration error)


Parser Error Message: Unrecognized element 'newsletter'.

Source Error:

Line 27: <articles pageSize="10"/>Line 28: <polls pageSize="10" archiveIsPublic="true" />Line 29: <newsletter Email="[email protected]"/>

Just found it:
there's a typo in the web.config :

it should be newsletters (with an s)
email should be : fromEmail
and you need to add the attribute "displayName"

koen

I have to change them to something like:

<td align="center"><%= Html.CheckBox("IsApproved",membershipUser.IsApprov ed, new {disabled="true"}) %></td>

from
<td align="center"><%= Html.CheckBox("","", "", membershipUser.IsApproved, new {disabled="true"}) %></td>


I am still plowing through the app to rid of any run-time errors.

Jiang

I also have an issue with the membershipprovider.
did you get the db to work?
I had to use the script, when using the default settings, it complained about a version of the DB

Under app_data, there is a thebeerhouse.mdf. I just attach it to sql 2008 and re-point the connectionstring to my local server that has the attached thebeerhouse.mdf.

Jiang

I can't seem to resolve this run-time error about

<%= Html.Button<UserController>(userController => userController.ManageUser(null, null, null), "Return", "Return")%></p>

There is no HtmlHelper for Button and there is no extension method in the downloaded code. Something missing?
