Could I get an explanation as to what this does?

As I understand it's part of ManagedFusion?

Service

Responds back with the requested type. If the Accepts header asks for:

application/xml it returns XML from the Model.

same for the JSON header.

HttpPostOnly

Only allows the POST verb to be used against the action method.

Thanks for the quick response. I don't get it entirely though but maybe that's because it gets explained later in the book? :)

Using this as an example.

[Authorize(Roles = "Admin")]
[Service, HttpPostOnly]
public ActionResult DeleteRole(string id)
{
Roles.DeleteRole(id);

return View(new { id = id });
}

What does it do for this method?

It deletes the role and then returns the id of the role that was deleted, so that it can be removed from the HTML page.

Using the same piece of code I'm getting "Namespace could not be found" I resolved it to System.Web.Services.Description but now get System.Web.Services.Description.Service is not an Attribute Class. What do I need to do to move this on?
TIA.

Don't forget to include the ServiceAttribute class. It can be found in the Controllers/ActionFilter folder. It is not documented in the book to do this ( another frustrating thing about this book...). Overall it's a good book, but a lot of explanation was left out. I am glad I knew enough MVC to get through it. I can't imagine being new to this and trying to follow it ;). There are a lot of goodies in it though.

Many thanks for your reply. I have included the ServiceAttribute class in total and it is now falling over on the ManagedFusion include. The only fererences I can find in the book are in the web.config file to do with email and the fact that Nick Bernadi, co-writer, is the owner of the company. Is this another class or do I need to download the application from SourceForge (on the web) or somewhere else just as suitable?

I downloaded the source code from the website and grabbed the dlls from inside the bin folder. I got stuck there too. I don't think the book even mentions that it references those dlls. It is frustrating but if something doesn't work it is probably because you are missing some class from the source code. Not all of the code is documented in the book.

Ok, I think I'm nearly there, I have one error coming up now and that is
"The name Iso3166CountryCodes does not exist in the current context" I've read in one of your replies that to mention country codes in the book would detract from th book's purpose, however, I have searched for this class and can't seem to find it anywhere, if it is a class that is. Where is the code for this? Many thanks.

The CountryCodes are under App_GlobalResources
