I'm not getting to hang of the entire FormAuthentication thing. Is there an up-to-date tutorial somewhere? I found this one, but it a bit old and the syntax doesn't match recent Asp.Net MVC.
Look in the Account Controller that a new ASP.NET MVC project creates. It should already have everything you need to get started.

You can refer this step-by-step guide on how to do that.
Your question is similar to
Is it possible to host an asp.net MVC in the same folder as asp.net web forms app?
We were in the exact same situation as you and it's not as bad as you might think. Thanks to Nuget it's a fairly easy process that you can follow and Dave Paquette describes how to do it in his blog post
And once you've got Mvc up and running all you need to do to go from one to the other is to redirect to Mvc from webforms:
Response.Redirect("~/Controller/Action/")
You can also use the Mvc routing system to generate routes from within webforms as well:
System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper url = new System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper(HttpContexxt.Current.Request.requestContext)
Response.Redirect(url.Action("Action", "Controller"))
I have an ASP.Net website and I want to put this website inside a MVC website I recently did, so this ASP.Net website will be part from the MVC website.
Is there a standard or a known way to do so?
Ask me if you want to know more information, I am not sure what info could help.
this shows merging an existing asp.net site into a new MVC3 site. The same applies for merging existing into existing. Just get a merge tool and merge them!

Could you put your MVC project into the webforms one? If so, this nuget will help with that: http://www.nuget.org/Tags/WebForms
I'm trying to incorporate Ninject with my ASP.NET MVC 3 RC application.
From the tutorials I found, I'm supposed to set the ServiceLocator via
MvcServiceLocator.SetCurrent
in the Global.asax file, but I can't seem to find this in ASP.NET MVC 3 RC. Has this been changed to something else?
The design for this feature has changed. The following blog post should answer your questions: http://bradwilson.typepad.com/blog/2010/10/service-location-pt5-idependencyresolver.html
I was using MVC 1.0 RTM, and the Haack solution for Areas
I just recently moved to MVC2 RC and I'm using single project areas with my controllers in separate assemblies. My problem is that in the MVC 1 solution I ALWAYS had "area" in my RouteData.Values collection, in MVC2 RC it doesn't exist. Do you know how to get this in MVC2 RC?
Thanks in advance!
This is kept in a DataToken for the route. Namely, route.DataTokens["area"]. Look at AreaHelpers.cs in the MVC source for details.
By the way, when you ask a question like this, you should show the code you're using which is not working. It makes it much easier to supply an answer. Right now, I don't know if you've already tried the method above, but are making an error with it, or if you haven't discovered this yet.
Sorry if this as already been asked.
I am currently working on a small feature and am trying to implement the ASP.NET Mvc framework into my current Web Forms web application. I have been following the Professional ASP.NET 3.5 Mvc Chapter 13 pdf document that I recently found on stackoverflow to get Web Forms and Mvc to work together. I have completed all three steps:
Added the references to the libraries System.Web.Mvc, System.Web.Routing, and System.Web.Abstractions
Added the two directories to my web application: controllers and views
Updated the web.config to load the three assemblies mentioned in step one and registered the UrlRoutingModule HttpModule. I also added the initial routing settings to my Global.asax file
RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute(
"Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Support", action = "Index", id = "" }
);
Once I try and run my newly created page following the ASP.NET Mvc framework I get a NullReferenceException on the following piece of code:
<%= Html.Encode(ViewData["Message"]) %>
In my controller I have ViewData["Message"] being set to "Message!" just as a test. Have I missed something setting my web application to work with ASP.NET Mvc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
From playing with the early betas, until today, I find it easier to create a new MVC application and "import" my exsiting files into the solution than it is to get all of the settings right in an existing application. I see no reason to get hot and heavy over setting up plumbing I can have written for me from a template. Perhaps I am just too lazy.
I find that I can get "legacy ASP.NET" web forms working fine with MVC. The only dink to the whole project is getting the app routed to my default.aspx to begin with. Much easier than running through multiple steps to include MVC.
I know this is not a direct answer to your question, but I think trying it will solve your problem, as well. Another benefit is you leave the old "legacy" source in case a bug fix comes in. But, then, you should be under source control anyway.
