On the web there are lots of tutorials about View Models, Repositories, and Dependency Injection... some are good but none are comprehensive.

Some questions that could be answered in an upcoming tutorial... How do repositories, View Models, and DI work together? When is dependency injection necessary? When is using Auto Mapper necessary?

I like that MVC is open source and that the community is developing tools tools for making powerful web apps. Installing some apps like Ninject and Auto Mapper seem to be standard operating procedure for many developers however, there seems to be a limited number of resources that tie these plugins and design patterns and some of the powerful features of MVC together.

Googling around you will see some options for implementing guaranteed delivery of message to the clients.
Like this stackoverflow post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22197129/how-to-do-guaranteed-message-delivery-with-signalr

Could you please include this topic in the official SignalR topics list with best practices and recommendations for various scenarios.

Since we can expect that clients can get disconnected, we would need to be prepared to be able to send them the missed messages if the use case requires guaranteed delivery of messages. Timeouts, max number of queued up messages etc could also be included.

I see this feature as a more important one for enterprise adoption and if there would be a community or product team recommended solution then it would easy the adoption for use cases where guaranteed delivery is required.

Correct error handling is more complicated than just working with HandleErrorAttribute or <customErrors>. Good error handling should account for a variety of scenarios:
* 404 errors that preserve the path and return the correct error code
* 500 status codes for uncaught exceptions
* Dealing with errors that operate outside of the context of a controller (which may not be matched)
* Pages that result in errors likely shouldn't be cached, especially if the error is transient
* Accounting for the possibility of unsafe paths in the request
* Logging errors so that they're not lost
* Rendering error pages that preserve a site's layout

There is competing (and misleading?) information out there, both within ASP.NET documentation and provided by users. Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Any modern application nowadays require 4 main key communication features:

1- uploading images/videos
2- Automation (where users are in CONTROL to when to receive email notifications based on dates that they enter. For example if we are talking about an "appointment application" the user might select to receive an email reminder two days before,one day before and one hour before). That requires windows service + web service.
3- Reporting. I have used rdlc in web forms I am not sure if you can use rdlc in MVC 5.
4-Access to the application through mobile devices.

if you know of any resource that covers the above in MVC 5 PLEASE let me know.

Thank you

I already read so many articles, tutorials, blog posts about how to implement multilanguage support for ASP.NET MVC site. I know the most complete one is Nadeem Afana's blog post. But I little but confused when I try to implement with latest tools and technologies.

I would be very happy with a complete guide about how to build a multilanguage ASP.NET site which covers a following areas:

- How to define EF6 code first models to support multilingual content in db, including field name translation for razor view's models?
- How to detect user's language and store his choice with IF 2.0
- How to translate and manage validation messages?
- How to translate and manage error messages?
- Best practices for dynamic and static translated contents?

+ How to translate the complete URL-s and manage them with custom Routes? Not just put a lang part but translate the whole url string:
http://mycompany.com/en/company/about
http://mycompany.com/de/firma/uber

It would be incredibly useful to have a hand-held step by step guide for the following
- How the code actually works through the new identity framework and in the default template (there was an excellent one on the membership back a few years ago)
- The step by step of what needs adding for securing an application (ok so maybe just a list of links to other articles would be useful, as it's easy to forget some)
- What security issues are still required to defend against in MVC5 and which are out-dated (such as html helper html encoding helps us)

Basically, a one-stop shop checklist of what to do from scratch to make a secure website. If this is possible, I (and I'm sure many others) would be incredibly thankful.

I had to search a lot and spent long hours in order to solve what appears to be a simple case for a .NET programmer. What I wanted to do was to display a jQuery Date Picker using Razor syntax, but in my own local, that is Turkish. I went through most of the articles I could find on the internet, but they were either not a valid anymore or not serving the above purpose. Well, I will not go into the details of how to do things with MVC either, because my aim is simply target your attention to the Date picker solution which displays your chosen language. I am using Visual studio for the development.
1. Select MVC 4 Internet application from Visual Studio 2010 (or later) .

2 Create a Model using DateTime field in the model . Select one of the various methods to create a database. Populate it with some test entries. Form Index , Create , Edit , Delete , Details View 's. I am omitting these as again these are out of the scope of this article.

3 Use Package Manager and install the following. (Tools > Library Package Manager > Package Manager Console )

PM> Install -Package jQuery.UI.i18n [Enter ]

4 Views > Shared > _Layout.cshtml last lines should be as follows . Remove the other definitions if exists.

@ Scripts.Render ("~ / bundles / jquery " )
@ Scripts.Render ("~ / bundles / jQueryUI " )
@ Styles.Render ("~ / Content / themes / base / css " )
@ RenderSection ( " scripts" , required: false)
</ body>
</ html>

5 Create a folder as Views > Shared > EditorTemplates.
6 Create a Partial Date.cshtml in EditorTemplates folder. ( Be sure you have this as a Partial View . )
7 Contents of Date.cshtml should be as follows .
@ model Nullable <DateTime>
@ {
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now ;
if ( Model! = null)
{
dt = ( System.DateTime ) Model ;
}
@ Html.TextBox ("", String.Format ( " {0: dd.mm.yy } " , dt.ToShortDateString ()) , new {@ class = " DateField " , type = "date "})
}

8 Create a folder as Views > Shared > DisplayTemplates.
9 Create a Partial View Date.cshtml in this DisplayTemplates folder.
10. Change the Contents of Date.cshtml as follows .
@ model System.DateTime ?
@ ( Model.HasValue ? Html.Raw ( Model.Value.ToString ( "dd / MM / yyyy" ) ) : null )

11 Put the following at the bottom of the Views containing the date Field. (Create & Edit views)
@ section Scripts {
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-ui-i18n.js"> </ script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$ (document). ready ( function () {
$ (". DateField "). datepicker ( $ . datepicker.regional [" tr"]);
} ) ;
</ script>
}

With the above lines in place, you have a working jQuery Date Picker in an MVC 4 application displaying a Turkish calendar where you can select from.
I have not tested the above with other languages, but changing [" tr"]) in the line :
$ (". DateField "). datepicker ( $ . datepicker.regional [" tr"]);

to another language prefix should do the trick.
