RE: MVC 2 Error: System.MissingMethodException

2010-03-30 Thread Tiang Cheng
Some further clues from
http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/03/ASP-MVC-Break

"Help methods now return 
MvcHtmlString
 instead of normal strings. This was necessary in order to support the new HTML 
Encoding Block syntax in ASP.NET. In both classic ASP and ASP.NET, developers 
were used to using <%= expression %> to mix static and dynamic content. 
Unfortunately it is prone to HTML-injection errors. With ASP.NET 4, developers 
can use the new syntax <%: expression %>. This guarantees that any string is 
automatically HTML encoded. If you don't want encoding, the expression must 
return an IHtmlString."

Will tool with this when I get home and see if it's about right.

Subject: MVC 2 Error: System.MissingMethodException

Hi all!

I've converted an MVC 1.0 project to MVC 2.0 and I'm now receiving this error:

Method not found: 'System.String 
System.Web.Mvc.Html.LinkExtensions.RouteLink(System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper, 
System.String, System.Web.Routing.RouteValueDictionary, 
System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary`2)'.

It's called by a basic

<%= Html.ActionLink(x => x.about(), "about us" )

I've had a look at the DLL definitions, and that method does exist. Any MVC 
gurus out there that would have a pointer on where to look to fix this?

Cheers!

Not that this describes me but there could be just as much of an issue with
those who plan to travel over Christmas. Other than that the Wife Acceptance

Good point, there are a few challenges:


1.   Venue that can fit the union of the audiences.

2.   Content overlap isn’t 1:1 so it would need to be streamed.

I’d imagine the reasons for the SDU Code Camp existing are still valid today 
but I won’t put words in Greg’s mouth. When I went to SDU CC myself I remember 
some familiar faces, but the content obviously being a different focus.

Code Camp Oz - question to those who would like to attend.

2010-03-30 Thread Mitch Denny
Hi folks,

I'm looking at dates for Code Camp Oz 2010, and it's looking like it is going 
to be at the tail end of the year based on the availability of the CSU campus. 
Given that what if it was in late November to early December? I could make it 
sometime in September and October, but the SQL Down Under Code Camp is usually 
in October and I don't want to have them too close together otherwise it might 
be too much strain on those travelling.
