  1. Better implementation on SimpleMembershipProvider

    We want better implementation of SimpleMembershipProvider that is not related to Sql server so we can use NoSql databases.
    We also want implementation that is not that complex and that reference bunch of dlls (DotNetOAuth is very over complex library to do simple stuff)

      We are actively working on a replacement of membership in general in ASP.NET. This work will solve the issues that you are bringing up, expect to see it in the Spring of 2013.

      We are not sure about removing DotNetOAuth yet. We don’t want to write our own implementation of OAuth when there are community versions that exist today. But we will see what we can do

    • Update MVC5 to Use Bootstrap 3 with Less

      So I unrolled the MVC5 RC today and Im pleased to find that it is using Bootstrap! Unfortunately it is using the outdated Bootstrap vs 2...

      Please update the project to use Bootstrap vs 3 and add support for Less.

      • Add Conditional Data Annotations to MVC

        Data Annotations are amazing in MVC models and really help with jquery unobtrusive. It would be great it they enhanced them so you had more than just Required or Regular Expressions. RequiredIf would help have conditional requirements for complex forms.

        • Many to Many Scaffolding. Populate code with check-boxes in create and edit views when there's relations between two tables.

          Whenever there are two tables that have many-to-many relationship, (i.e. Students - Teachers) need automatic code creation with scaffolding will allow Create View to show check-boxes within a form, and a controller should be able to save selected check-boxes for that model.

          • Allow Custom Scaffolding

            I would love to have the ability to make my own scaffolding. I can currently do this through a NuGet package called t4scaffolding, but it is seems like it loosing support. I would be very happy if it was baked into the framework somehow.. thanks!

              I don't think I need to explain that one. But just in case we have DropDownListFor, why there's no RadioButtonListFor?

              • Add Visual-Studio support for syntax-highlighting a custom file extension with razor & css syntax

                Right now, with a bit of thinkering in web.config and a custom RazorViewEngine, it is possible to register the ".rcss" file extension and have razor serve these files just like .cshtml files.

                This is useful because it allows e.g. Server.MapPath or Url.Content in css files. Also I can write css and make a simple @if, for example to exclude one of the many styles that cause IE8 to malfunction, without having to start syncing 2 different files...

                However, there is no freaking visual studio support. Either one sets it as web form, and then it has problems because in a…

                • Please provide an easy way to handle One-to-many model create and update scenarios

                  Hi,

                  Consider a Person and Address Model, where the Person has an ICollection<Address> nav. property.
                  Currently there isn't a direct way to add and remove entities from the collection.
                  Please implement this.

                    • Compile-time route checking

                      At compile time, verify routes map to controller methods and issue compilation errors for unmapped routes. Issue warnings for controller methods and parameters are wired up in routing. This should also have the side benefit of making the UrlHelper more reliable.

                          I would like to implement a new feature for asp.net mvc called "conversational session".
                          What is a conversational session? For example, you have a edit page and you want to display this page multiple times but with different data. By default, if you store some data in the session, the data will be overridden when opening the edit page multiple times. You can use a conversation for a specific "process" and after the process finishes the data will cleared. My idea was to handle this via attributes (i.e. one attribute on a action which starts a conversation.. or a attribute…

                            A strong part of MVC is its extensibility points. However, if you use an IoC/DI container, there is currently no way to populate its dependencies (similar to how you would a controller via the ControllerFactory).

                                • Provide hooks for unobtrusive validation events

                                  Unobtrusive validation doesn't allow access to some of the validate plugin's features. So we cannot handle various validation events.

                                  An excellent solution is available here: https://gist.github.com/remi/957732

                                  It works well, and should be added to the plugin as is.

                                      • Feature to add: ASP.NET MVC Route Debugger

                                        That would be nice to introduce something like "MVC debugging mode" to ASP.NET MVP project. In this mode developer will see some extended details about MVC application state like routes table and so on.

                                        To understand better what I mean - please look at these 2 posts:

                                        • ASP.NET MVC should stop silently catch all unhandled exceptions !

                                          E.g., DefaultModelBinder catches all exceptions. If you mock a model that is bound and the model has IoC, DefaultModelBinder will catch also MockException (which inherits form System.Exception) therefore you can't mock it. What a shame from a framework that proudly says it supports testing.
