Hybrid WebForms / ASP.NET MVC

Possible duplicate:
ASP.NET MVC with web forms in the same web application?

I am new to .NET applications, I have a web form application that I am working on, and I'm going to start developing new pages, I am trying to create new pages using ASP.NET MVC, but I cannot make the pages fall into controllers. At first I added that the library links added routes to global.asax, but are not sure what is still missing, can someone help me?

Reading between the lines I'm collecting, are you trying to add add MVC pages to your existing ASP.NET Webforms web application?

If so, you will probably need a specific MVC configuration. Settings The easiest way is to create a new MVC web application and then combine the configuration settings.

Also, if you are doing a hybrid project, I would recommend giving Scott Hanselmann a read on the topic.

The following is a more detailed description of adding MVC to a WebForms application at the following links:

You can also add ProjectTypeGuid to the project file using a text editor ({603c0e0b-db56-11dc-be95-000d561079b0} is used to indicate Visual Studio to use MVC extensions.)

<ProjectTypeGuids>{603c0e0b-db56-11dc-be95-000d561079b0};{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}</ProjectTypeGuids>

The above links also do not fully cover the system.webserver web.config area that needs to be configured.

Scott Hanselman has released a "completely unsupported" Nuget package that adds MVC 3 features to an existing Web Forms project. It also works on my PC (ha ha) and I used it in several projects.

http://nuget.org/List/Packages/AddMvc3ToWebForms

He reported this here:

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/CreatingANuGetPackageIn7EasyStepsPlusUsingNuGetToIntegrateASPNETMVC3IntoExistingWebFormsApplications.aspx

One newb tip: this package will configure your MVC routes in / App_Start / RegisterMvc3Routes.cs

I have spent a lot of time over the past few months on this. Here are my observations.

Good / Easy - Getting Webforms to be Webforms in MVC Controllers - It was great to just get on a new MVC3 project and drop Webforms pages. - I managed to move the <pages><controls></controls></pages> section to the <pages><controls></controls></pages> directory in the new web.config there

Dirty / difficult

  • Regarding GUID

    • Please note that the GUID must be added at the beginning of the line for some reason ... every time I tried it failed. Until I came across a message that insisted that it would be up to others.
    • Also I don’t know what the difference is, but another GUID works for me ... {E53F8FEA-EAE0-44A6-8774-FFD645390401}

  • getting landing page Webforms caused ALL kinds of crashes.

  • Getting jQuery intellisense for playback using T4MVC

this is what i did to solve this problem

 @if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) { <script src="../../Scripts/Mvc3/jquery-1.7-vsdoc.js" type="text/javascript"></script> @* intellisense! *@ @Html.RelativeJavascript(Links.Scripts.Mvc3.jquery_1_7_js) @Html.RelativeJavascript(Links.Scripts.Mvc3.jquery_unobtrusive_ajax_js) } else { @Html.RelativeJavascript(Links.Scripts.Mvc3.jquery_1_7_min_js) @Html.RelativeJavascript(Links.Scripts.Mvc3.jquery_unobtrusive_ajax_min_js) }

Recommendations:

  • Use T4MVC in all cases, even if you are pure web forms. The output of magic strings for static content ( .js , .css , images specifying patterns) is outstanding.
