When running the demp application I am getting error "Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc' or one of its dependencies. Strong name signature could not be verified. The assembly may have been tampered with, or it was delay signed but not fully signed with the correct private key. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131045)"

Same problem here when attempting to run the tests...

Cheers,

Adrian.

The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
MyComputer
at UnitTests.Controllers.ProductsControllerTest.CanListProductsByCategoryId()

Same problem, but I fixed it by removing the references to the three MVC assemblies, and adding them again but referencing the ones installed into Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC Preview 3\Assemblies

I get same errors, referencing from preview 3 didn't change the errors.

I can run the new preview 3 but not this demo.

Fixing the references makes the project run, but CanUpdateProduct and CanEditProduct tests fail with a NullReferenceException at this part:
void SetInvalid(string key) {
TempData["Error:" + key] = Request.Form[key];
}

I get this error

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

even after referencing the new assemblies

Update: doing a 'clean solution' and rerunning appears to have worked. (after referencing the new assemblies)

I think have a reason now: Resharper. I suspect that is the problem. One step I did that I later recalled while troubleshooting was that I turned off the add-in.

When Resharper starts, it loads the assemblies. I have a feeling it was still using the older version (My guess)

Please could someone help me on how to get rid of the error message that has been mentioned above.

The error is: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc' or one of its dependencies. Strong name signature could not be verified. The assembly may have been tampered with, or it was delay signed but not fully signed with the correct private key. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131045)

I have no idea how to fix this please could someone explain it in clear steps. (as in how do i rereference the assemblies?)

Much appreciated
Vishal

Has the need for .mvc still exist with preview 3 ?

Hi there, what versions are you using in the demo? are these the sames that are in the folder dependencies?, Thanks!

Update the references in northwinddemo\dependecies and the sample will work!

System.Web.Abstractions
System.Web.Mvc
System.Web.Routing

hey every one ,
its strange question but i think i should ask cuz it could help other , i am new in MVC and i am using VS 2008 and MVC3
when i downloaded this code and when i build it after updating the refrence and when i start debugging the programe i get this error
that on default page ; is missing and there was only one line
<% Response.Redirect("~/Products/")%>
so i put ; after this
<% Response.Redirect("~/Products/");%>
and it start working
is this the error or did i do wrong thing i am lil confused , can some one explain me that

When is MVC going to become 'official' as sorts.. I have noticed theres an MVC Unleashed book coming out in August, so is that the timescale you are looking at??

error ! The error is: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc' or one of its dependencies.
Why Updated ?

can you reupload the demo, errors everywhere

Same issue as most folks here: removing the three references and then re-adding them by pointing to the ASP.NET MVC install path in Program Files solves it. Everything is working fine at my end.

Project file is borked:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The project file 'D:\NorthwindDemo\NorthwindDemo.csproj' cannot be opened.

The project type is not supported by this installation.

Sorry forgot the code tag in above post.

[code]
Found a few bugs:

For the images to be relative path you need this:

When running on IIS this hard coded path int ListingByCategory.aspx will break it for two reasons - the path not being relative for when in a sub folder and also when the .mvc is needed:
<%=product.ProductName %>
Change it to:
<%=Html.ActionLink(product.ProductName, "Detail", new { ID=product.ProductID })%>

The Grains/Cereals and Meat/Poultry product links crash it because they have slashes in the generated URLs. How can you fix that? This is the problematic line:
<%= Html.ActionLink(category.CategoryName, "List", new { id=category.CategoryName })%>
[/code]

to indiekiduk:

Categories.aspx:
<%= Html.ActionLink(category.CategoryName, "List", new { id=category.CategoryName.Replace("/", "@") })%>

ProductsController.cs:
id = id.Replace("@", "/");

Worked a treat, no problem's ;-)

love the demo, really helping me with taking all of the grunt work out of the code behind that im so used to using. Only question that I have is:

Is using forms the best/only approach for passing information back to the controller for updating purposes?

Thanks,
James

Johan,

You are correct. The CanUpdateProduct and CanEditProduct unit tests fail... everything else seems to be okay.

For the CanUpdateProduct test you need to add:

formVars.Add("UnitPrice", "3.01");

For the CanEditProduct unit test you need to Mock the TempDataDictionary. Apparently, this following code is not doing the job... so I need to do more research.

var context = new Mock();
controller.TempData = new TempDataDictionary(context);

Looks like we can wait until Preview 4 is released:

Hi,

I downloaded the demo and when I try to access the controller method "/Products/New" its giving me the following error:

CS1061: 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewDataDictionary' does not contain a definition for 'Categories' and no extension method 'Categories' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewDataDictionary' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I'm using ASP.NET MVC Preview 4, does anyone have an idea what it may be ?

thanks

Sheesh, take down animated ads. They totally ruin reading

I use the p3,And the problems is nerver! Thanks Haacked!
But I still puzzles at mvc. Are there any people could I communicata with? My msn is perk_jiang@live.cn

Hi Phil,

- Thanks for the demo.
- works well on my dev environment : Visual Studio 2008 Pro edition, ASP.NET MVC Beta, though i had to modify the code a bit to work with LINQ to SQL entity classes.

:)

Hello,

I can't get the demo to work on the latest version of the framework. I'm getting a "StackOverflowException" when saving on the "Edit Product" screen.

I was trying to implement an edit in my own app and followed the example here, but in both projects I get the same unhandled exception error.

Any ideas?

Sorry, I should have added that it's the Product parameter in EditProduct (the POST version) that seems to blow up the app.

I was looking to implement this sort of automatic object inference in my own edit method, but again received the same error as mentioned above.

Basically I just want to find a good "edit" scenario example that works, with the simplest possible code, and this would seem to fit the bill.

Thanks for reading.

I'm also getting a StackOverflowException on Edits.
Sigh.

I've resolved by stack overflow problem - I changed
[AcceptVerbs("POST")]
public ActionResult EditProduct(int id, Product product)
to:
[AcceptVerbs("POST")]
public ActionResult EditProduct(int id, [Bind(Include="ProductName,UnitPrice")]Product product)
...which stopped the model from chasing its own tail (is the problem here with the EF the navigation properties for link tables? Whatever)
I also thought it didn't make sense to pass the ProductID when redirecting back to Products, so I added an Include("Categories") to the pre-update query and changed the parameter passed back to Products to dbProduct.Categories.CategoryID.
Now everything updates nicely and redisplays the Products list with the updated data.

Here is the updated EditProduct POST action if anyone is still having problems getting Phil's demo working.

I integrated Kevin Daly's suggestion of redirecting after the POST to the product list for the current product's category.



[AcceptVerbs("POST")]
public ActionResult EditProduct(int id, [Bind(Include="ProductName,UnitPrice")]Product product) {
NORTHWNDEntities entities = new NORTHWNDEntities();

if (ModelState.IsValid) {

var dbProduct = entities.ProductSet
.Include( "Categories" )
.First(
p => p.ProductID == id
);

dbProduct.ProductName = product.ProductName;
dbProduct.UnitPrice = product.UnitPrice;

entities.SaveChanges();
if (Request.IsMvcAjaxRequest()) {
return Content("Product Updated");
}
else {


return RedirectToAction(
"Products",
new { id = dbProduct.Categories.CategoryID }
);

}
}
entities.Dispose();
entities = null;
return View(product);
}



Note: The redirect to the product list is obviously negated if you are using the EditProductAjax ContentResult view.

Hi, I'm new to :Net etc., is there a VB version available that runs under Visual Web developer Express edition?

Thank you, Hughes

Will you update the sample to the latest release?

Thanks,
J.W.

I am getting the following:

'System.Web.HttpRequestBase' does not contain a definition for 'IsMvcAjaxRequest'.........


Is this a known issue? Fix?
