I have a MVC 3 application where I am using razor views. I have a SiteLayout.cshtml page, which is my master page for the site. Then, I have a Login.cshtml page which uses the SiteLayout.cshtml as the master page. I also have a _ViewStart.cshtml page that applies the master page to all cshtml pages.
I recently added a 'Forgot password' link to my login page. When I run the app, it doesn't show the new link. I cleaned the solution & rebuilt the solution, but that didn't help. Its almost like the razor views are getting cached. I checked all my browser settings (IE, Firefox, Chrome) to make sure that they are not caching.
I am totally stumped with this one. Any ideas??
Here is the code for the master page:
#using System.Web.UI.WebControls
#{
Layout = null;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head runat="server">
<title>Application - #ViewBag.Title</title>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.7.min.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery.tools.min.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="/Content/Site.css" />
</head>
<body>
<!-- Total width: 1180px -->
<div id="maincontainer">
<div id="header">
<span style="text-align:left; float:left;">Header</span>
<span style="text-align:right; float:right; width:200px;">#Html.Partial("LoginStatus")</span>
</div>
<div id="maincontent">
#RenderBody()
</div>
</div>
</body>
</Html>
Code for the login view:
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Login";
}
<div style="width:500px;">
#using(Html.BeginForm("Authenticate", "Account", FormMethod.Post))
{
<fieldset>
<legend>Login</legend>
<div class="errorMessage">#Html.ValidationMessage("LoginError")</div>
<label for="Email">Email</label>
#Html.TextBox("Email", string.Empty, new { #style = "width:250px;" })
<label for="Password">Password</label>
#Html.Password("Password", string.Empty, new { #style = "width:100px;" }) <br/><br />
<div class="buttons">
<button type="submit" class="positive" name="login">
<img src="/Content/images/lock_open.png" alt=""/>
Login
</button>
</div>
<p>#Html.ActionLink("Forgot Password?", "ForgotPassword", "Account")</p>
</fieldset>
}
</div>
Finally, code for _ViewStart:
#{
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/SiteLayout.cshtml";
}
Hit [control] + F5 to force a refresh.
Above each Action method you can set an output caching attribute for that page. Here is an article on it output caching
Alternatively you can set your caching preferences site wide in the web.config
Besides cleaning and rebuilding, which you mentioned you had done, You might want to check and make sure you don't have any instances of your .NET Development server running.
If you don't want caching to occur at all, you can use the following attribute to ensure that nothing is cached:
[OutputCache(NoStore = true, Duration = 0, VaryByParam = "None")]
//Your Controller Here
I think I have it figured out. I am sure it has something to do with the configuration of my machine since its not happening to others. So, instead of allowing VS2010 to assign its own port, I forced-picked a port. And I now get the new view.

I have a problem I cannot wrap my head around, it is driving me crazy. I used the default template for MVC projects in VS2013 and everything works fine. I can login with users I've created using the Forms Authentication, etc. The problem I have is that when I drop a _ViewStart into the Account views folder, and use a custom layout for the login pages ... I keep getting redirected to the login page everytime I try to login. My Login Post method is also not being called, only the Default Login ActionResult fires. If I take the ViewStart file out and use the default layout, I have no problems.
Here is my _LoginLayout.cshtml
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<body>
<div class="holder login">

Here is the ViewStart...
#{
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_LoginLayout.cshtml";
}
The login page is basically the same boiler plate page provided when you start the project. Everything works until I start trying to use a custom layout and viewstart.
Ok. I'm dumb.
#using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Account",....
Creates Form tags. My layout had Form tags wrapping the RenderBody(). I was essentially nesting form tags which is a nono. Mystery solved.
It's the little things that get you.
I am working on a ASP.NET MVC 4 app. In one of my forms (using Razor view engine) I want to use a jquery datepicker with a date field. But my datepicker code does not work.
Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>#ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET MVC Application</title>
<link href="~/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
#Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
</head>
Views/MyController/Create.cshtml
#model wppf_test_1.Models.allocation_percentage
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
alert("h");
$("#date").datepicker();
});
</script>
<h2>Create</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm()) {
#Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<fieldset>
<div class="editor-label">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.date)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.date)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.date)
</div>
I am not posting the entire code of the view since it is very large. The alert message in the jquery code works. But the datepicker code does not. I used firebug and verified that the id of the date field is indeed "date". Yet I do not know what is the problem.
I would suggest using an input element like so:
<div class="editor-field">
<input type="text" name="date" id="date" />
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.date)
</div>
as the editor for your date. Setting the name to date will properly link the value to your date field on form submit. I've had this problem before and this is how I solved it, though I cannot say for certain why it worked.
I have case same like Shuaib and I try your suggest above and I can the date picker on my project (create.cshtml).
<input type="text" name="CreatedDate" id="date" />
But, I have many more input element again in my project (create.cshtml). I try to use same id (id="date") like belowing.
<input type="text" name="UpdatedDate" id="date" />
And I running the apps, the date picker on my second input element (name="UpdatedDate) cannot work. I got warning message is Another object on this page is already uses ID 'date'.
What's this method (call id datepicker) only can use one input element (not more) on the page?
Thanks for advice,
cheers
I looked through all the similar questions that showed up before typing this, but I can't find an answer for my issue.
I'm using jQuery Mobile (1.1) and jQuery (1.7.1) to develop a small portal. As such, I have it all on one page, and use data-role="page" to handle the process transitions.
The flow is currently like this:
User visits main URL
User clicks on an action ("do this" or "do that")
When a user clicks on the action (both are just tags with a href to another file with data-role="button"), it takes them to that page just fine.
However, when first visiting the page (either by manually typing in the URL or clicking on the action button/link), the form is empty and clicking the submit button does nothing. After refreshing the page though everything works as it should.
So, say for example someone clicks on action link #1 ("make a payment"):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.js"></script>
<title>Credit Card Payments</title>
<style>
.ui-dialog .ui-header a[data-icon=delete] { display: none; }
</style>
<script>
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function(){
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div data-role="dialog" id="popup">
<div data-role="header" data-theme="b" data-content-theme="b">
<h1>Destination</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content" data-theme="b" data-content-theme="b">
Please choose what you would like to do:
Make A Payment
Add Credit Card To Account
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
It takes them to "payment.php" and displays page id "step1", which is a simple log in form:
<div data-role="page" id="step1">
<div data-role="header">
<h2>Log In</h2>
</div>
<form id="step1frm">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<label for="mail">Blesta e-mail: </label>
<input type="text" name="mail" id="mail" />
</div>
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<label for="pw">Blesta password: </label>
<input type="password" name="pw" id="pw" />
</div>
<input type="button" id="step1frmsub" value="Log In" />
</form>
</div>
The log in form page also has a lot of jQM stuff but after I commented all the code out it didn't change anything so that isn't the cause. I also verified the HTML via W3.org and it came back valid.
A better representation of what's going on can be found in the screen shots I took of Chrome's Inspector:
First Visit - after clicking "make a payment"
After Refreshing Page - after refreshing the login for "make a payment"
Edit - As a small follow up, I noticed "data-external-page="true"" is being set on the div page on load, and then on refresh it's not there anymore. From my understanding of what I've read this is done because it's coming from a dialog basically, but I'm not sure if there's a way to disable that from being set.
Answer - Well, the solution to this, after initially thinking it wasn't what I was looking for, was actually to add this to my links:
rel="external"
So that they look like this:
Make A Payment

I use a master page for my site and for some reason, I can no longer view the master page in design view. All that appears is a blank page with a blinking cursor. I've been at it for over 2 hours and can't figure it out. Yet when I run it, everything looks and behaves great. What am I missing?
Here is the Site.Master code:

<%--Here is where you reference your style sheets and JQuery library. The link href takes the
relative path and publishes fine for the directory. With <script> and <style> tags, copies
like the JQuery reference, you will need to use the '<%# Page.ResolveClientUrl() %>' to get
the same relative path behavior at publishing time. Typically you would define a code block
and choose '<%=' however page headers don't play nice with code blocks. '<%#' defines as a
databinding expression and then when you add Page.Header.Databind() to your code behind for
the master page, The DataBind method evaluates all the databinding expression(s) in your
header at load time--%>

I think your comments with ASP tags in it are confusing Visual Studio. Try removing <%= <%# %> from within your comments and see if that helps. If this is your problem you may need to add spaces within the tags so they don't confuse VS. ie. < % = You should still be able to understand your comments.
Hello I understand from reading advice on this site that scripts should go at the bottom of the _layout page. My problem is that I am not sure exactly where the 'bottom' is. Some people have said it is just before the tag but that does not work for me. I have tried putting the script in many places but nowhere seems to work. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
This is my About page
#{
ViewBag.Title = "About Us";
}

Some Alternatives
It is absolutely possible to have your jquery at the end of your body tag. Ideally the only js you have in your head is modernizr, html5shiv or the like.
Option 1
Put a #RenderSection("scripts", required: false) after the jQuery <script... element as the last line inside your body element. Then in any of your views you would use
#section scripts
{
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
// page specific js code here
});
</script>
}
Option 2
Between your jQuery script element and the closing of your body element have a script element pointing to the relevant js file for the action/view in question:
<script
src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/" + ViewContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("action") + ".js")"
type="text/javascript">
</script>
Jquery file has to be included before first reference to jquery is found on the document. So, to solve this problem, i put jquery file in head section and all other script that are not used in views but in other script files are included before closing body tag
