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

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??

Server Error in '/' Application.

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
