I have started using VS 2015 from a previous version.
When I loaded the project, I'm missing many helpers such as
#ViewBag
#Html.ActionLink
#Html is recognised by intellisence, but not the ActionLink
In my web.config (in the root) I have
<pages>
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Helpers" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Optimization" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="System.Web.WebPages" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
Why do I have no ActionLink?
Upgrading to MVC5 resolved the issue as I was previously on MVC4
I'm trying to resize/crop the images stored on one of our servers and use them on another, also our server. Image resizer is running on www.aapg.org. Remote images are stored on assets.aapg.org.
Not sure why it doesn't work. I followed the process outlined in http://imageresizing.net/plugins/remotereader -- everything looks OK. I tried both a signed remote URL and human-friendly syntax, and neither worked for me.
Here are the plugins from the Web.config file I'm using:
<add name="MvcRoutingShim" />
<add name="DiskCache" />
<add name="SeamCarving" />
<add name="SimpleFilters" />
<add name="PdfRenderer" downloadNativeDependencies="true" />
<add name="DropShadow" />
<add name="WhitespaceTrimmer" />
<add name="PrettyGifs" />
<add name="AnimatedGifs" />
<add name="WebPEncoder" />
<add name="WebPDecoder" />
<add name="RemoteReader" />
<add name="CloudFront" />
And the remote reader plugin configuration ('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' is obviously not what I'm using):
<remotereader signingKey="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" allowAllSignedRequests="false" allowRedirects="5">
<allow domain="aapg.org" />
<allow domain="assets.aapg.org" />
</remotereader>
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
I am trying to integrate paypal mobile checkout into a mobile web app, developed using mvc4, for some reason, when I try to use the function SetMobileExpressCheckout(xxx), I am getting the above error.
I have added the web.config entry across from the sdk example, and have added the reference to the 2 dlls that come with the SDK, but it still crashes, the full error message is below :
{"An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for paypal: Could not load type 'PayPal.Manager.SDKConfigHandler' from assembly 'PayPal_Merchant_SDK'. (C:\Projects\Mobile Development\Print Management\Print Management\web.config line 8)"}
so looking at this, it is pointing to the entry in the web config file, which is added below, I have also created a new project with an empty site, added a page, and all the web.config entries etc, and it works fine.
Could it be something to do with mvc4 ??
I know the web.config entry is large, but I thought I would put it all in there incase it is something else in there causing the problem.
any help would be much appreciated, as I am very close to having this finished, but I just cant seem to find what the issue is here

Had the same issue, and could resolve it by exchanging
PayPal_Merchant_SDK
to
PayPal_Core_SDK
in the configSections part.
The assembly name is wrong in the paypal doc and samples. The config section should reference the assembly name. So "PayPal_Core_SDK" should really be "PayPalCoreSDK"
well, after trying to get it working late into the evening yesterday, I decided to create a new mvc4 mobile web app, and only put in the paypal references etc, and low and behold, it worked, now I am not sure what is wrong with the other app, but I think it will probably be quicker to just transfer my code a cross section by section.
I just thought I would let people know, and if I get chance, I will look at the code again, as I don't like been beat :-)
I am creating a new application (webrole) in webforms called SGS. This application is being build using vb.net.
I am developing the app in windows 7 and have already deployed it to Windows azure.
Every time I need to change something in the application, I change it locally and then publish it again to my production enviroment (i know about staging enviroment in azure, but I prefered the production).
The app is in the start point, now I need to connect it to my database that is in SQL Azure.
I built a new database named SGS that is on SQL Azure and I want to connect my application to it.
I would like that even when I am in the local environment, my application only connects to my sql zure database. This way I don't need any database on my local Pc.
I don't know how to accomplish this.....
The connection string (ado.net) that is on the azure is :
Server=tcp:mwjw08qhju.database.windows.net,1433;Database=SGS;User ID=pr#mwjw08qhju;Password=myPassword;Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;

What do I need to change to accomplish this?
Thank you very much.
This set up should do exactly what you want. It's only slightly more complex if you wanted to connect to SQL Server when running locally BUT SQL Azure when deployed.
To connect to SQL Azure from your local machine though, you'll need to have a firewall rule that allows traffic to reach SQL Azure. Ironically, the post right below yours in Stack Overflow has a response that should help you do this (if you haven't already).
If you set up the firewall rule and are still having issues, post back with more specifics about what's not working, error messages, etc.
Change the Service and Default connection strings to the connection string you received from the Azure SQL portal.
So you will get this:
<add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="mwjw08qhju.database.windows.net,1433;Database=SGS;User ID=pr#mwjw08qhju;Password=myPassword;Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Hope that helps
Right now I have to specify connection strings for active record/nhibernate in my config file like so:
<activerecord>
<config type="Navtrak.Business.Schemas.CommonSchemas.Models.NavtrakOperations.NavtrakOperationsDatabase`1, CommonSchemas">
<add key="connection.connection_string" value="connstring1" />
<add key="connection.driver_class" value="NHibernate.Driver.SqlClientDriver" />
<add key="dialect" value="NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2005Dialect" />
<add key="connection.provider" value="NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider" />
<add key="show_sql" value="true" />
<add key="proxyfactory.factory_class" value="NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle.ProxyFactoryFactory, NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle" />
</config>
<config type="Navtrak.Business.Schemas.CommonSchemas.Models.Users.UsersDatabase`1, CommonSchemas">
<add key="connection.connection_string" value="connstring2" />
<add key="connection.driver_class" value="NHibernate.Driver.SqlClientDriver" />
<add key="dialect" value="NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2005Dialect" />
<add key="connection.provider" value="NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider" />
<add key="show_sql" value="true" />
<add key="proxyfactory.factory_class" value="NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle.ProxyFactoryFactory, NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle" />
</config>
</activerecord>
Then I initialize active record:
if (!ActiveRecordStarter.IsInitialized)
ActiveRecordStarter.Initialize(typeof(SimpleModel).Assembly, ActiveRecordSectionHandler.Instance);
These connection strings must be database-driven so I need a way to programmatically set them. How can I do so? Keep in mind that I connect to multiple databases, in case that makes a difference...
Use InPlaceConfigurationSource. Some examples:
