I couldn’t put it in the normal area route registration as it had to be registered last. It took a while to figure out that this works:

public static void RegisterAreaRoute(RouteCollection routes) {
routes.MapRoute(
"MyRouteName",
"{*path}",
new
{
// options
},
new[] { "_Namespace_.Areas._Area_Name_.Controllers" }
).DataTokens.Add("area", _Area_Name_);
}

ViewData[] is similar to a global variable in PHP and it is populated by the Controllers and seen by the Models.

Lots of differences of course but just a quick thought…

  1. The Model generated using the Microsoft Entity Framework named “MoviesDBModel.edmx” did not have MovieSet as in the article but instead Movies1. There is an option in MoviesDBModel.edmx on the properties of Movie that has “Entity Set Name” defaulting to Movies1 — that should be changed to MovieSet.

  1. Install Visual Web Developer 2010 Express Beta 2 from ISO (if virtually mounting the disk, make the mount persistent as there is a reboot halfway through the install and if the disk is not present, the install bails).
  2. Uninstall “Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2″ but not “Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 – VWD Express 2010 Tools”. The VWD 2010 Express Beta 2 comes with a version of ASP.NET MVC that is pre-RC.
  3. Install AspNetMVC2_RC2_VS2008.exe (yes, that is the correct version for ASP.NET MVC 2 RC even though it has 2008 in the name).
  4. If “Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 ADO.NET Entity Framework Tools Beta 2″ does not show up in Add/Remove Programs then force it to install by opening a command prompt and going to the \VWDExpress\wcu\EFTools directory of the CD and running ADONETEntityFrameworkTools_enu.msi USING_EXUIH=1 /log “dd_ADONETEntityFrameworkTools_enu_MSI.txt”
