  1. Offline Support for Single Page Application templates on mobile devices

    Steve Sanderson presented MVC 4 SPA "Delivery Trucker" for mobile devices with offline support using upshot.js javascript framework.
    http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechDays/TechDays-2012-Belgium/199
    It seems that the MVC team dropped support for upshot.js
    It would be realy helpful if the MVC team provides support for Single Page Applications (SPAs) templates runing on mobile devices offline.
    Example: MVC4 SPAs application is running on a smart phone. The phone might loose reception. SPA is using the HTML5 offline storage to save data changes when offline. MVC team supported javascript framework will detect when the mobile device is back online and syncronize the changes from the HTML5…

    • Enable JavaScript file to read localized resource string

      in cs or .cshtml file you can get the localized string. For example: ViewRes.Welcome which will return the localized "welcome" text. It would be great if we can do it in any javascript file. Is it possible?

      • Conversational Session - Running same views in multiple browser tabs with different session data

        I would like to implement a new feature for asp.net mvc called "conversational session".
        What is a conversational session? For example, you have a edit page and you want to display this page multiple times but with different data. By default, if you store some data in the session, the data will be overridden when opening the edit page multiple times. You can use a conversation for a specific "process" and after the process finishes the data will cleared. My idea was to handle this via attributes (i.e. one attribute on a action which starts a conversation.. or a attribute…

        • Add Conditional Data Annotations to MVC

          Data Annotations are amazing in MVC models and really help with jquery unobtrusive. It would be great it they enhanced them so you had more than just Required or Regular Expressions. RequiredIf would help have conditional requirements for complex forms.

                  • add support for dojo toolkit

                    MVC4 has a great potential for developing RIA applications..
                    I know that jQuery is most popular js framework and it has a lot of plugins but wouldn't it be a cool thing to have one unified framework for most things (look at dojo uis)?

                    So my suggestion is to add support for dojo toolkit, and create special helpers, validators, etc.
                    It shouldn't be hard, cause dojo supports html5 params and with that it's even easier to add unobtrusive validation than in jQuery.. just parse page and it magically works!

                    What do you think about that?

                    • Better implementation on SimpleMembershipProvider

                      We want better implementation of SimpleMembershipProvider that is not related to Sql server so we can use NoSql databases.
                      We also want implementation that is not that complex and that reference bunch of dlls (DotNetOAuth is very over complex library to do simple stuff)

                        We are actively working on a replacement of membership in general in ASP.NET. This work will solve the issues that you are bringing up, expect to see it in the Spring of 2013.

                        We are not sure about removing DotNetOAuth yet. We don’t want to write our own implementation of OAuth when there are community versions that exist today. But we will see what we can do

                      • Remove all extra preinstalled packges and references from "Empty" project template

                        Even the template "Empty" contains many references to unused or obsolete assemblies. Some assemblies or packages included for the future, but this is just confusing and makes clean up a project before starting to develop.

                              Please add these attributes to ASP.NET MVC:

                              [AspMvcView]

                              [AspMvcAction]

                              [AspMvcController]

                              That allows to mark custom helpers parameters with these attributes.

                              JetBrains did that and that looks very helpful:

                                • Make 'Find all References' search in MVC Views

                                  For example, let's say I'm working in an ASP.NET MVC project and have a file named AccountDetailsViewModel.cs open in IDE editor. This file contains a class named AccountDetailsViewModel. In this same MVC project, I have an MVC View in AccountDetailsView.cshtml. This View is strongly typed to use the AccountDetailsViewModel object. When I right-click in AccountDetailsViewModel to find all references to this class, the file AccountDetailsView.cshtml does not appear in the results. The reference to the View Model is not discovered in AccountDetailsView.cshtml. Please enhance the "Final all References" search functionality to discover references in ASP.NET view files such as .cshtml,…

                                  • Throw ActionMethodNotFound exception instead of HttpException when "A public action method ... was not foudn on controller ..."

                                    Currently a generic HttpException is thrown when a public action method is not found. I propose throwing a specific ActionMethodNotFound exception that inherits from HttpException. The inheritance should keep the code mostly backwards compatible and the more specific exception would allow easier trapping and translating of these exceptions to 404s without having to do a magic string comparison on the exception message.

                                    • Give me access to the DependencyResolver in the validationContext parameter of IValidateableObject.Validate()

                                      I want to be able to get Dependencies from the DependencyResolver through the validationContext parameter of IValidateableObject.Validate(). There is a GetService method and a ServiceContainer but those are a huge pain to get set up.

                                      • RadioButtonListFor

                                        I don't think I need to explain that one. But just in case we have DropDownListFor, why there's no RadioButtonListFor?
