outgoing url in mvc generated based on the current routing schema.

because your Information action method require id parameter, and your route collection has id of your current requested url(/Admin/Information/5), id parameter automatically gotten from existing route collection values.

to solve this problem you should use UrlParameter.Optional:

     &lt;a href=&quot;@Url.Action(&quot;Information&quot;, &quot;Admin&quot;, new { id = UrlParameter.Optional })&quot;&gt;Add an Admin&lt;/a&gt;

You also can use in this form: 

`   &lt;a href=&quot;@Url.Action(&quot;Information&quot;, &quot;Admin&quot;, null)&quot;&gt; Admin&lt;/a&gt;`

I&#39;m developing an Android app. I need to convert a string array into an ArrayList. I&#39;ve read up on this, and all have cases where you add the values to the array in the java file. I have declared the string-array in the strings.xml file. My string-array is here:

    &lt;string-array name=&quot;Lines&quot;&gt;
        &lt;item&gt;Red Line&lt;/item&gt;
        &lt;item&gt;Blue Line&lt;/item&gt;
        &lt;item&gt;Orange Line&lt;/item&gt;
        &lt;item&gt;Green Line&lt;/item&gt;
        &lt;item&gt;Brown Line&lt;/item&gt;
        &lt;item&gt;Purple Line&lt;/item&gt;
        &lt;item&gt;Pink Line&lt;/item&gt;
        &lt;item&gt;Yellow Line&lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;/string-array&gt;

I need to convert Lines into ArrayList. If I use this

    List&lt;String&gt; Lines = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;();

to declare the ArrayList, how can find the array list by ID, and store that as Lines?

How do I convert a float number into string format?
This is google playground but not getting the expected output. (2e+07)
I want to get &quot;21312421.213123&quot;



    package main

    import &quot;fmt&quot;
    import &quot;strconv&quot;

    func floattostr(input_num float64) string {
	
         	// to convert a float number to a string
	    return strconv.FormatFloat(input_num, &#39;g&#39;, 1, 64)
     }

     func main() {
	      fmt.Println(floattostr(21312421.213123))

Please help me get the string out of float number. Thanks

formatFloat : convert float number to string

I have an ASP.Net MVC 4 app and am using the Url.Action helper like this: `@Url.Action(&quot;Information&quot;, &quot;Admin&quot;)`

This page is used for both adding a new and edit an admin profile. The URLs are as follows:

     Adding a new:       http://localhost:4935/Admin/Information
     Editing Existing:   http://localhost:4935/Admin/Information/5 &lt;==Admin ID

When I&#39;m in the `Editing Existing` section of the site and decide that I would like to add a new admin I click on the following link:  

     &lt;a href=&quot;@Url.Action(&quot;Information&quot;, &quot;Admin&quot;)&quot;&gt;Add an Admin&lt;/a&gt;

The problem however that the above link is actually going to `http://localhost:4935/Admin/Information/5`. This only happens when I&#39;m in that page editing an existing admin. Anywhere else on the site it links correctly to `http://localhost:4935/Admin/Information`

Has anyone else seen this?

**UPDATE:** 

RouteConfig:

            routes.MapRoute(
                name: &quot;Default&quot;,
                url: &quot;{controller}/{action}/{id}&quot;,
                defaults: new { controller = &quot;Home&quot;, action = &quot;Index&quot;, id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

Which Authorize Attribute ?  
**System.Web.Http.Authorize  
System.Web.Mvc.Authorize**

    using System.Web.Mvc      // or
    using System.Web.Http  

A typical controller  
  
        [Authorize]
        public class SomeController : Controller

We have controllers Annotated with `[Authorize]`
I just noticed that due to **using namespaces** the annotations technically refer to different attribute classes.

The project contains MVC controllers and  WEBAPI controllers.

Which one should I use and why ?
What issues might we have if I dont fix this ?




System.Web.Http.Authorize versus System.Web.Mvc.Authorize

Here&#39;s the call to the `PUT` method on my Web API - the third line in the method (I am calling the Web API from an ASP.NET MVC front end):

![enter image description here][1]

`client.BaseAddress` is `http://localhost/CallCOPAPI/`.

Here&#39;s `contactUri`:

![enter image description here][2]

Here&#39;s `contactUri.PathAndQuery`:

![enter image description here][3]

And finally, here&#39;s my 405 response:

![enter image description here][4]

Here&#39;s the WebApi.config in my Web API project:

            public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
            {
                config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                    name: &quot;DefaultApi&quot;,
                    routeTemplate: &quot;api/{controller}/{id}&quot;,
                    defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
                );
    
                config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                    name: &quot;DefaultApiGet&quot;,
                    routeTemplate: &quot;api/{controller}/{action}/{regionId}&quot;,
                    defaults: new { action = &quot;Get&quot; },
                    constraints: new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint(&quot;GET&quot;) });
    
                var json = config.Formatters.JsonFormatter;
                json.SerializerSettings.PreserveReferencesHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects;
                config.Formatters.Remove(config.Formatters.XmlFormatter);

I&#39;ve tried stripping down the path that gets passed into `PutAsJsonAsync` to `string.Format(&quot;/api/department/{0}&quot;, department.Id)` and `string.Format(&quot;http://localhost/CallCOPAPI/api/department/{0}&quot;, department.Id)` with no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas why I&#39;m getting the 405 error?

Web API Put Request generates an Http 405 Method Not Allowed error

We have an existing application that was build on ASP.NET MVC 4 &amp; Web API. The admin parts of the site use Simple Membership. I&#39;m interested in upgrading the application to MVC 5 / Web API 2, to take advantage of some of the new features that have been added. But it looks like they might be incompatible.

Specifically, after installing the RC packages from NuGet into one of the projects in my solution, and [updating the web.config information][1], the application starts dying during startup on the line that calls `WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection()`, with this exception:

    [MethodAccessException: Attempt by security transparent method &#39;WebMatrix.WebData.PreApplicationStartCode.OnConnectionOpened(System.Object, WebMatrix.Data.ConnectionEventArgs)&#39; to access security critical method &#39;System.Web.WebPages.HttpContextExtensions.RegisterForDispose(System.Web.HttpContextBase, System.IDisposable)&#39; failed.]
       WebMatrix.WebData.PreApplicationStartCode.OnConnectionOpened(Object sender, ConnectionEventArgs e) +70
       WebMatrix.Data.Database.OnConnectionOpened() +70
       WebMatrix.Data.Database.EnsureConnectionOpen() +51
       WebMatrix.Data.Database.QueryValue(String commandText, Object[] args) +63
       WebMatrix.WebData.DatabaseWrapper.QueryValue(String commandText, Object[] parameters) +13
       WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleMembershipProvider.GetUserId(IDatabase db, String userTableName, String userNameColumn, String userIdColumn, String userName) +206
       WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleMembershipProvider.ValidateUserTable() +87

Other projects in the same solution using Simple Membership that I have *not* upgraded continue to work just fine.

Googling around for more information turns up lots of hits for that exception, of course, but nothing particular to WebMatrix.

FWIW: I know that Microsoft has introduced [(yet another) membership and identity solution][2], but unless there&#39;s a way to use that with the existing Simple Membership tables, or a seamless migration path for all of our existing user data, that&#39;s not really an option for us.



UPDATE (11 Oct)
===============

I just tried this again with a fresh checkout of the current trunk of our app. I&#39;m using Visual Studio 2012, but otherwise followed the instructions from MS for upgrading an existing project. After updating to MVC 5 / Web API 2 / EF 6, the app started up an ran just fine.

There were no explicit trust requirements in the `web.config` to remove. I added the code from [this question][3] to `Global.asax.cs`, and it reports that the app is running with full trust (in IIS Express, just F5-ed from VS).

Re-adding the same call to `InitializeDatabaseConnection()`, it starts dying with the exact same exception.


SOLUTION (28 Oct)
=================

Trying the solution in @Kevin&#39;s update from Friday, I found that it works. It was really strange to me that adding this apparently unrelated package would solve these security issues, and even *more* strange after I removed the package from my solution, and it *kept working*.

Taking a closer look at what was happening, I realized that the reason why this fixes the behavior is quite simple: the `Microsoft.AspNet.WebHelpers` package has two dependencies that were being added to my solution: `Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.Data` and `Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.WebData`. **Microsoft has moved the WebMatrix classes into new packages.** 

So added the helpers package fixed the problem, not because of anything it was doing, but because **it was causing updated versions of the broken assemblies to be added** to my solution. The solution to the initial incompatibility, then, is to install these new packages when updating everything else from NuGet:

    Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.WebData

UPDATE (13 May 2015)
====================

It has been [suggested to me][4] that you may also need to manually install the second new package:

    Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.Data

This _should not_ be necessary, because this package is [an explicit dependency][5] of the first, and NuGet should be smart enough to install both. But if you get [an error when building][6], or don&#39;t see NuGet add the dependency, it might help you.

Is ASP.NET MVC 5 incompatible with the WebMatrix SimpleMembershipProvider?

I have been playing about with the new MVC 5, I have a few models, controller and views setup using code first migrations. 

My question is how do I seed users and roles? I currently seed some reference data in my Seed method in Configuration.cs. But it looks to me that the user and roles tables are not created until something first hits the AccountController. 

I currently have two connection strings so I can separate my data from my authentication into different databases.

How can I get the user, roles, etc tables populate along with my others? And not when the account controller is hit?

    String sMacAddress = string.Empty;
    foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in nics)
    {
        if (sMacAddress == String.Empty)// only return MAC Address from first card  
        {

    string IP = Dns.GetHostByName(IPHost).AddressList[0].ToString();

Output: 

&gt;Ip Address : 192.168.1.7

Please help me to get the public IP address.



How to get the public IP address of a user in C#

I have a C# ASP.NET MVC 4 project, which is using Elmah for catching any unhandled exceptions.  This works great in most situations.  

However I&#39;ve found that for a controller method that is called using a JQuery Ajax call, I can&#39;t get the current Context.  

For example in my controller method that returns the JsonResult I have this test code;

    try
    {
        throw new Exception(&quot;This is a test&quot;);
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        Elmah.ErrorLog.GetDefault(HttpContext.Current).Log(new Elmah.Error(e));
    }

The 

&gt; HttpContext.Current

 is causing the following error;

&gt; &#39;System.Web.HttpContextBase&#39; does not contain a definition for
&gt; &#39;Current&#39; and no extension method &#39;Current&#39; accepting a first argument
&gt; of type &#39;System.Web.HttpContextBase&#39; could be found (are you missing a
&gt; using directive or an assembly reference?)

How can I get around this problem ?

I&#39;ve been working on an **AngularJS** project, inside of ASP.NET MVC using Web API.  It works great except when you try to go directly to an angular routed URL or refresh the page.  Rather than monkeying with server config, I thought this would be something I could handle with **MVC&#39;s routing engine**.

Current WebAPIConfig: 

    public static class WebApiConfig
    {
        public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            // Web API routes
            config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: &quot;DefaultApi&quot;,
                routeTemplate: &quot;api/{controller}/{id}&quot;,
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional },
                constraints: new { id = @&quot;^[0-9]+$&quot; }
            );

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: &quot;ApiWithActionAndName&quot;,
                routeTemplate: &quot;api/{controller}/{action}/{name}&quot;,
                defaults: null,
                constraints: new { name = @&quot;^[a-z]+$&quot; }
            );

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: &quot;ApiWithAction&quot;,
                routeTemplate: &quot;api/{controller}/{action}&quot;,
                defaults: new { action = &quot;Get&quot; }
            );
        }
    }



Current RouteConfig:

    public class RouteConfig
    {
        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute(&quot;{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}&quot;);
            routes.IgnoreRoute(&quot;&quot;); //Allow index.html to load
            routes.IgnoreRoute(&quot;partials/*&quot;); 
            routes.IgnoreRoute(&quot;assets/*&quot;);
        }
    }


Current Global.asax.cs:

    public class WebApiApplication : HttpApplication
    {
        protected void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
            GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
            FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
            RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
            var formatters = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters;
            formatters.Remove(formatters.XmlFormatter);
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
            {
                Formatting = Formatting.Indented,
                PreserveReferencesHandling = PreserveReferencesHandling.None,
                ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore,
            };
        }
    }

**GOAL:**

/api/* continues to go to WebAPI, /partials/*, and /assets/* all go to file system, absolutely anything else gets routed to /index.html, which is my Angular single page app.


**--EDIT--**

I seem to have gotten it working.  Added this to the **BOTTOM OF** RouteConfig.cs:

     routes.MapPageRoute(&quot;Default&quot;, &quot;{*anything}&quot;, &quot;~/index.html&quot;);

And this change to the root web.config:

    &lt;system.web&gt;
    ...
      &lt;compilation debug=&quot;true&quot; targetFramework=&quot;4.5.1&quot;&gt;
        &lt;buildProviders&gt;
          ...
          &lt;add extension=&quot;.html&quot; type=&quot;System.Web.Compilation.PageBuildProvider&quot; /&gt; &lt;!-- Allows for routing everything to ~/index.html --&gt;
          ...
        &lt;/buildProviders&gt;
      &lt;/compilation&gt;
    ...
    &lt;/system.web&gt;

However, it smells like a hack.  Any better way to do this?

How to route EVERYTHING other than Web API to /index.html

A Razor view has 3 buttons inside a form. All button&#39;s actions will need form values which are basically values coming input fields.

Every time I click any of buttons it redirected me to default action. Can you please guide how I can submit form to different actions based on button press ?

I really appreciate your time, guidance and help.

MVC razor form with multiple different submit buttons?

After significant refactoring in my MVC 4 application, and Razor shows this error while debugging Views:

&gt;The name &#39;model&#39; does not exist in the current context.

This is the offending line of code:

    @model ICollection&lt;DataSourceByActive&gt;

I know that the usage of `@model` is correct.

Why is this happening? How can I fix it?

**[Enable intellisense on HTMLHelper attribute for css classes]**

I have this HTMLhelper:

    public IHtmlString MyTextBoxFor&lt;TModel, TProperty&gt;(
        this HtmlHelper&lt;TModel&gt; html, 
        Expression&lt;Func&lt;TModel, TProperty&gt;&gt; propertyExpression, 
        string cssClass)
    {
        // ...
    }

I want Resharper to give me IntelliSense for CSS classes defined in my application when passing the value for the &quot;cssClass&quot; parameter.

There are some code annotation attributes that Resharper recognizes, but none that seem directly related to marking a method parameter as being CSS classes.

The closest I could find was **[HtmlAttributeValue(string name)]**.
I tried to apply to the cssClass parameter like this:

    public IHtmlString MyTextBoxFor&lt;TModel, TProperty&gt;(
        this HtmlHelper&lt;TModel&gt; html, 
        Expression&lt;Func&lt;TModel, TProperty&gt;&gt; propertyExpression, 
        [HtmlAttributeValue(&quot;class&quot;)] string cssClass)
    {
        // ...
    }

But that doesn&#39;t work. It would also be super awesome if Resharper would recognize the entered class and stop bugging me about unknown CSS classes in jQuery selector expressions (that operate on the textbox generated by the helper above).

**Edit:**
Here&#39;s a screenshot of the kind of intellisense that is working for the &quot;htmlAttributes&quot; parameter of an action method. This is accomplished by using the [HtmlElementAttributes] annotation on the parameter.

[![Resharper htmlAttributes intellisense][1]][1]

I want a similar annotation that lets me put css classes in a string parameter and have the same intellisense appear showing css classes.

How do you tell Resharper that a method parameter is a string containing a CSS class?

I have the following MVC 5 Razor HTML helper:

    @Html.TextBoxFor(m =&gt; m.ShortName, 
      new { @class = &quot;form-control&quot;, @placeholder = &quot;short name&quot;})

I need this field to be required (i.e. have a red outline when user navigates out without putting a value inn). In a WebForms HTML 5 I could just say `&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; required /&gt;` to have this effect.
What is the proper syntax to accomplish this in a Razor syntax?

How to add &quot;required&quot; attribute to mvc razor viewmodel text input editor

The problem in Html.ActionLink() is that you can&#39;t add additional html content inside the &lt;a&gt; tag that it generates.
For example, if you want to add an icon besides the text like:

    &lt;a href=&quot;/Admin/Users&quot;&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;fa fa-users&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Go to Users&lt;/a&gt;

Using Html.ActionLink(), you can only generate:

    &lt;a href=&quot;/Admin/Users&quot;&gt;Go to Users&lt;/a&gt;

So, to resolve this, you can use Url.Action() to generate only the URL inside the tag like:

    // Here, Url.Action could not generate the URL &quot;/admin/users&quot;. So this doesn&#39;t work.
    &lt;a href=&quot;@Url.Action(&quot;&quot;, &quot;Users&quot;, &quot;Admin&quot;)&quot;&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;fa fa-usesr&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Go to Users&lt;/a&gt;

    // This works, as we know it but won&#39;t pass the Area needed.
    &lt;a href=&quot;@Url.Action(&quot;&quot;, &quot;Users&quot;)&quot;&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;fa fa-users&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Go to Users&lt;/a&gt;

So, how do you pass the Area using Url.Action()?
