I need to write an application in ASP.NET MVC, but for corporate reasons I can't use jQuery. I have heard that you can "turn off" jQuery and that ASP.NET controls like TextBoxFor will fall back to using Microsoft's older JS libraries. But I haven't found any detailed information on how to do this.
Anyone have experience with this approach? Any pointers?
ASP.NET MVC does not require jQuery. The MVC3 project templates include it in _Layout.cshtml because many developers prefer it. You can remove it.
It does use jQuery Validation by default, however, but you can use the Microsoft Ajax MVC2 libraries instead.
If you remove jQuery scripts, you will be unable to use the jQuery/Unobtrusive MVC 3 validation.
Use the MS scripts and corresponding validation functionality instead:
_Layout.cshtml:
"~/Scripts/MicrosoftAjax.js"
"~/Scripts/MicrosoftMvcValidation.js"
That’s all.
By the way, why cannot you use the jQuery in your project?
It's all down to the adapters that you decide to include from the default script folders. If you don't want to use Jquery include the other adapter files.

I am building an Asp.net website with Angular 4 and bootstrap. Being a .net developer, I would like to have all the html in the .cshtml files. Earlier I have used Angular 1.0 version and we use the ng-controller and all the services call will be made from there. Trying to find documentation on using controllers but couldn't find any? Do we have ng-controllers in Angular 4? If not whats the best alternative. Also I dont want to use "TemplateUrl" in the component to render the cshtml content. In few cases, cshtml will have dynamic content and don't want an additional http request made.
Thanks in advance.
Thats right what Usman told you. At Angular 2/4 your App structure is completly new. You got a Template which is controlled by the #Component, where is linked with the attribute: 'template: "Page.html"'. There is also the templateURL Which is also an attribute of #Component. Use this if you want to specify your templateURL in your Typescript File. And another thing: Your Scope has changed a bit so think about it if you try to call javascript code in your template.
hope it helped.
There is no ng-controllers in Angular 2/4. You have components (kind of, but not exactly, controllers in AngularJs). There is no clean way of using server side views with Angular 2/4 unless you want to use server side rendering of Javascript using nodejs.
Have a look at this post https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2017/02/14/building-single-page-applications-on-asp-net-core-with-javascriptservices/
This is based on Microsoft's JavaScript services library which does server side compilation for cshtml files. Steve Sanderson has a nice post (though a bit older now) about setting up Angular with ASP.NET
hope this helps.
I am working on an ASP.Net MVC Application (C# and razor).
I am wondering what is the difference between those 2 nuget packages:
Microsoft jQuery Unobtrusive
Microsoft Ajax
Thanks
Microsft jQuery Unobtrusive replaces the obsolete Microsoft Ajax.
After importing the package to your project, jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js allows you to use the Ajax* AjaxHelpers in the Razor views.
However, many recommend against using the AjaxHelpers in favor coding these yourself with plain jQuery.
It seems in MVC6 they have removed the AjaxHelpers.
Which updates the question Is "jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js" obsolete?
I've built an ASP MVC site and used bootstrap, Jquery, knockout and signalR, and inherited a mix of 3rd party MVC code integrated with controls like syncfusion. (I don't have a choice in this matter, company decision)
After coding the HTML helpers in the views,
I manually applied all the bootstrap styles took sometime and got it
to work. Now, with upgrade/changes to bootstrap (RC 3.1) I am finding
myself back to square one, hunting through the code and replacing it manually, lots of
changes. Can you please share a better way to transpile/emit/bind the
bootstrap CSS classes into the helpers (i.e. in an independent way of the
technology helper, whether its ASP HTML MVC helper, Syncfusion HTML
MVC helper, Rad or FluentBootStrap)
Please provide a solution/recommendation to apply bootstrap CSS to ASP MVC pages
That's easy to separate and maintain and CSS upgrade's Programmtically
or globally configurable/settable/applicable
I've been thinking extension classes might be a good option, but not sure how I can achieve this, if you've can show me how to get the custom bootstrap CSS bound so I can programatically apply it or globally,
Is there a transpiler or Razor Declaritve Helper (I know about the nuget package, I tried applying it, and it turned out to be more of a template, than declarative extension binding, and I couldnt use it with other libraries Syncfusion or DevExpress)
or some other way, I would greatly appreciate it.
Here is an example of what I do currently, with the Syncfusion library
#Html.Syncfusion().Menu("myMenu").AutoFormat((Skins)ViewData["Themes"]) - performance hog
or better option 2 below
http://mvc.syncfusion.com/demos/ui/tools/Menu/Appearance
#(Html.Syncfusion().Button("btnNormal")
.Text("Save")
.Width(100)
.Height(50)
.ContentType(ContentTypes.TextAndImage)
.ImageUrl(Url.Content("~/Content/Images/Button/icon_save.png"))
.CustomCSS("CustomCss_Button") )
-> I changed/upgraded manually to BootStrap RC 3.1, I changed this last part to the bootstrap
.CustomCSS("btn-default dropdown-toggle btn-primary"))
Not sure this would be helpful to you, but check out TwitterBootstrapMVC. Right now it supports v2.* of TwitterBootstrap, but the support for v3.* is being built.
Our answer is from the experience we are going through. Here is what we found,
currently, The twitter bootstrap MVC is your best option IMHO, we are moving everything to it and its free! Its probably better the broiler plate option.
The 3.0 upgrade is a big question for us as well, so this is
something Dmitry can clarify.
Also, auto creating type safe bootstrap HTML views/sections for models is another question.
In addition you will face challenges with custom controls, we have a OLAP BI client, which looks / or doesn't not have the same consistent look. Dmitry can you answer how to resolve this with twitterbootmvc
Dmitry, will the twitterbootstrap upgrade, auto upgrade to the 3.0 bootstrap or do we have do anything manually?
I just discovered that in visual studio you can for the precompile of RAZOR into HTML.
Can you add that as an option to fluent
Does MVCContrib support MVC4? I am trying to use it in my project. Can any one help me with an example?
Does MVCContrib support MVC4?
No.
The documentation mentions support for the script and style bundling of MVC4. Other discussions on codeplex indicate that T4MVC in MVC4 is working for people.
https://t4mvc.codeplex.com/documentation
Support for MVC's script and style bundles
Starting from MVC4, one can define "bundles" of scripts and
stylesheets which are automatically combined and minified. However,
magic strings are used to define the resource URLs. To eliminate them,
follow steps 1 to 3 below.
It appears full support for this is still being added. But the features that worked in MVC2 I know still worked in MVC3 because I used them in MVC3; but the documentation does not explicitly say it works with MVC3. I suspect that every feature in MVC4 that was part of MVC3 still works in MVC4.
Here is the reference discussion for bundling:
http://t4mvc.codeplex.com/discussions/399205
T4MVC is still better than relying on magic strings to reference controller actions and view names. In my opinion the next version of MVC just needs to include T4MVC in the base feature set. Until that happens I'll continue to use T4MVC.
I'm searching for themes designed to be used with aspnet mvc3; i've found MvcContrib but download link is now empty. Can anyone help me in finding themes designed to run with the Razor engine?
ASP.NET MVC3 doesn't come with any pages, so you won't find any themes for it. You have to build your own HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
Allthough i wouldn't recommend doing so but you could use the .skin files
Try using an html5 boilerplate. There's a bunch of layouts u can use.
I based mine on the default Twitter Bootstrap layouts, very easy to build a site from them.
