How to access controller methods from a view in ASP.NET MVC
Jul 1130This question has been posed in several places. One of the places is on StackOverflow here. The use case here is that my controller has important state or an important function, and I’d like to leverage it from the view. It’s not appropriate to factor out to an html helper or other view-based utility class. It is something unique to the controller. It would be very easy to just pass the controller over to the view so that the view could make use of its methods, but there is a lot of discussion...

NuGet for the Enterprise: NuGet in a Continuous Integration Automated Build System
May 1125I had the pleasure of speaking at TechEd 2011 North America last week in Atlanta. You can see ALL the videos of all the sessions on Channel 9.

Hopefully now, my team and I can take a moment to breath as we start making big plans for ASP.NET MVC 4. It’s interesting to me to think that the version number for ASP.NET MVC is qui...

A Better Razor Foreach Loop
Apr 1114Yesterday, during my ASP.NET MVC 3 talk at Mix 11, I wrote a useful helper method demonstrating an advanced feature of Razor, Razor Templated Delegates. There are many situations where I want to quickly iterate through a bunch of items in a view, and I prefer using the foreach statement. But sometimes, I need to also know the current index. So I wrote an extension method to IEnumerable<T> that accepts Razor syntax as an argument and calls that template for each item in the enumeration. pub...
