MVC RC1 Bug – And asp.net forums whining

Filed under: Uncategorized — Will @ 7:04 pm

Simple enough, it looks like some standards nazi went through and renamed the Login to Logon in several places for RC1. Unfortunately it did not get renamed in the Web.config for the redirect on failed login url.

    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login"/>
    </authentication>

Where it needs to be:

    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn"/>
    </authentication>

But when I went to the asp.net forums to report this bug, I did the conscientious thing and tried to determine if it had been reported already. Searching for “RC1 logon login” yielded too many results. So I’ll wade through the tree view to only check the asp.net mvc forum. (2004 called, wants it back.) I then realized it was sorting by some kind of relavance instead of date. Where’s the date sort? Lets try going back to the “more search options” Ohh, thanks for clearing my existing search. Perhaps if I hit “back” instead? Still no luck. Ohh wait, there’s a big notice at the top of the search page:

Search will be undergoing maintenance to improve results on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 from 7pm – 10pm Eastern Time, United States.

Ohh. So this is the IMPROVED version? Sigh. I’ll post it here instead.

MVC RC1

As I’m sure you noticed, MVC RC1 is out now. In reading through the release notes I found this:

“The overloads for DropDownList and ListBox helper methods were reworked to fix various usability problems that were reported by customers.”

Thanks for listening!

Stock Photos FTW

Sometimes using a stock photo can help sell your product. Perhaps this one is trying to convince the buyer what not to do. Or something.
