  1. mixed-mode authentication

    It will be nice to have a fully supported and secure way to use forms and windows authentication in the same project. For example let's say that the project has three areas two of which can be managed using windows authentication but one of them can use forms connected to a custom database. In such way the app can support internal users and external users without having to deploy to separate apps.

      • Create an MSBuild task for creating script and style bundles

        While bundling and minification at run time is great, it is also useful at build time. For example, if you are creating a javascript library and want to provide a minified version, it would be very convenient to have an MSBuild task that creates a minified bundle.

        • Support UniqueIdentifier as UserID in SimpleMembership

          For writing distributed database / (multi-master) database applications and/or integrating with other systems, being forced to use an INT for UserID is a killer. Please bring back support for uniqueidentifiers as the UserID and update SimpleMembership to support them, or enable a simple way to override via a provider model.

          • Support Entity Framework 6 scaffolding in ASP.NET MVC 4

            Please fix this one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2816241

            I don't know, why you restrict all EF 6 alpha/beta testers/users - I think the public part of the EF API the scaffolding use is already unchanged.

            • Add Visual-Studio support for syntax-highlighting a custom file extension with razor & css syntax

              Right now, with a bit of thinkering in web.config and a custom RazorViewEngine, it is possible to register the ".rcss" file extension and have razor serve these files just like .cshtml files.

              This is useful because it allows e.g. Server.MapPath or Url.Content in css files. Also I can write css and make a simple @if, for example to exclude one of the many styles that cause IE8 to malfunction, without having to start syncing 2 different files...

              However, there is no freaking visual studio support. Either one sets it as web form, and then it has problems because in a…

              • ASP.NET MVC should stop silently catch all unhandled exceptions !

                E.g., DefaultModelBinder catches all exceptions. If you mock a model that is bound and the model has IoC, DefaultModelBinder will catch also MockException (which inherits form System.Exception) therefore you can't mock it. What a shame from a framework that proudly says it supports testing.

                • Provide support for Areas in the standard HtmlHelpers

                  Areas are great until you need to create links using any of the standard HtmlHelper methods. The only way to create links with areas is to add the area to the route data on every single call to Html.ActionLink, Html.RouteLink, Html.BeginForm, etc.

                  The MVC Futures partly solves this issue by adding the ActionLinkArea attribute, but in order to take advantage of it you need to completely change every call to Html.ActionLink or Html.RouteLink to call a new overload provided which accepts a lambda expression.

                  Unfortunately, there are only overloads for Html.ActionLink and Html.RouteLink, which leaves things like Html.BeginForm to use…

                  • 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…

                    • 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.

                          • Support @helper ExtensionMethod(this HtmlHelper html) for views in APP_CODE

                            Support creating extension methods with the @helper razor syntax, inside the APP_CODE folder.

                            This could be very useful, when creating html helpers, like the following code:

                            @helper ExtensionMethod(this HtmlHelper html, string data, string action)
                            {
                            <text>
                            <div>@data</div>
                            should I want to use Html here it is fine:
                            @html.ActionLink("Link text", action)
                            should I want to use Url here...
                            @{var url = new UrlHelper(html.ViewContext.RequestContext)}
                            @url.Action(action)
                            </text>
                            }

                            And be called inside any other view like this:

                            @Html.ExtensionMethod("Some text", "MyAction")

                            That'd be awesome! An easy way to make Html helpers!!!

                                  • [AspMvcView] [AspMvcAction] [AspMvcController] attributes for custom helpers parameters

                                    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:

                                    Thanks!

                                      • Integrate CORS into ASP.NET Core

                                        CORS is becoming more popular and should be fully supported in the ASP.NET stack.

                                        I'm currently using ThinkTecture's IdentityModel package https://github.com/thinktecture/Thinktecture.IdentityModel.45 which recently added a CORS module for MVC and WebAPI, but it currently doesn't work if you have MVC controllers and WebAPI controllers setup in the same project.
