`webPages:enabled` with value `false` prevents `.cshtml` or `.vbhtml` files in the `Views` folder from being directly accessible from a web browser.

According to documentation it prevents .cshtml and .vbhtml files from being accessed directly (`www.myweb.com/views/home/index.cshtml` for example)

To allow Razor pages to be served, it&#39;s not enough to set `&lt;add key=&quot;webpages:Enabled&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;`. You also need to add the Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages package to `packages.config` using NuGet.

I have a main form (let&#39;s call it frmHireQuote) that is a child of a main MDI form (frmMainMDI), that shows another form (frmImportContact) via ShowDialog() when a button is clicked.

When the user clicks the &#39;OK&#39; on frmImportContact, I want to pass a few string variables back to some text boxes on frmHireQuote.

Note that there could be multiple instances of frmHireQuote, it&#39;s obviously important that I get back to the instance that called this instance of frmImportContact.

What&#39;s the best method of doing this?

What is the best way to replace links with images using Razor in MVC3.  I simply doing this at the moment:

    &lt;a href=&quot;@Url.Action(&quot;Edit&quot;, new { id=MyId })&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;../../Content/Images/Image.bmp&quot;, alt=&quot;Edit&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 

Is there a better way?

I&#39;m working with MVC3, and using Entity Framework 4.0 Entities as my model.  So far, everything works great as far as using it as a model (all the crud operations/page generations work out of the box).  I&#39;m wondering, though, how do you get the same robust labels and validation information as when you generate a model manually?

Here&#39;s an example of what I mean. This is a class generated by the sample MVC3 project:

    public class LogOnModel
    {
        [Required]
        [Display(Name = &quot;User name&quot;)]
        public string UserName { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [DataType(DataType.Password)]
        [Display(Name = &quot;Password&quot;)]
        public string Password { get; set; }

        [Display(Name = &quot;Remember me?&quot;)]
        public bool RememberMe { get; set; }
    }

With the example above, you can specify what gets rendered in a label for the field (Display), and what type of field to use (Password).  However, when I try to use the entity framework and push it to the view below, I see the automatically generated labels are just the field names, and not anything I want the user to see/have to read:


    @using (Html.BeginForm()) {
        @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
        &lt;fieldset&gt;
            &lt;legend&gt;Person&lt;/legend&gt;
    
            &lt;div class=&quot;editor-label&quot;&gt;
                @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.FirstName)
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;editor-field&quot;&gt;
                @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.FirstName)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.FirstName)
            &lt;/div&gt;
    
            &lt;div class=&quot;editor-label&quot;&gt;
                @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.MiddleName)
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;editor-field&quot;&gt;
                @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.MiddleName)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.MiddleName)
            &lt;/div&gt;
    
            &lt;div class=&quot;editor-label&quot;&gt;
                @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.LastName)
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;editor-field&quot;&gt;
                @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.LastName)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.LastName)
            &lt;/div&gt;
    
            &lt;div class=&quot;editor-label&quot;&gt;
                @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.Birthdate)
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;editor-field&quot;&gt;
                @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.Birthdate)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.Birthdate)
            &lt;/div&gt;
    
            &lt;p&gt;
                &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Create&quot; /&gt;
            &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/fieldset&gt;}

**My question is:** How do I add these extra decorations to the entities that are generated using EF4?  Is there something besides System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations that I should be using? I know entities get regenerated and it&#39;s probably not a good idea to add this to entities&#39; code directly, but for some reason I can&#39;t think of a better approach than manually entering the label text in the view (lame, there&#39;s no reason to have to do that, this is MVC!).  I want to keep it so that the application is dynamic enough to be able to have the correct display information for my model come through and keep an MVC approach.  How do I do it?

I have ASP.NET MVC3 app and I have also form for add news. When VS2010 created default view I have only text inputs for string data, but I want to have textarea for news text. How I can do it with Razor syntax.

Text input look like this:

    @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.Text)



ASP.NET MVC3 - textarea with @Html.EditorFor

I have the following controller action:

    [ChildActionOnly]
    public virtual PartialViewResult ListActions(int id)
    {
        var actions = meetingActionRepository.GetAllMeetingActions(id);
            
        return PartialView(actions);
    }

And the following action link (using t4MVC and the razor syntax)

    &lt;p&gt;
       @Html.RenderAction(MVC.MeetingActions.ListActions(Model.MeetingId))
    &lt;/p&gt;


However this gives me the error:

&gt;cannot implicitly convert type void to object

As far as i can tell the controller action is ok, so what could be giving me this error?

I&#39;m attempting to create a strongly-typed view based on a class from another assembly. For whatever reason though, my Razor view doesn&#39;t seem to have any visibility of other assemblies referenced on my project. e.g.

    @model MyClasses.MyModel

results in the error in Visual Studio 2010, &quot;The type or namespace name `MyClasses` could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?).&quot;

The same class referenced in the standard view engine works fine. I have the same trouble trying to reference the class in the body of my view.

Am I missing something about Razor or do I need to reference the assembly some other way?
