Please follow this steps:

1. Please download this first.

2. Then click on the Release version of ninject.



3. Extract the zip to a folder of your choice

4. Please also download MVC if you haven’t already download it, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7aba081a-19b9-44c4-a247-3882c8f749e3&displaylang=en#filelist

5. Now let's create a new MVC 2 Project

6. Once it open's we'll need to add a reference to ninject.core.dll



7. Next, let's create a helper method for our ninject controller factory called NinjectControllerFactory.cs



8. We'll need to inherit from the default controller factory. Mainly so we don't have to re-invent the wheel and we can just override one part of it.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;   

namespace NinjectIoc
{
    public class NinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
    {
    }

9. For the purposes of this demo we'll need to create an example service and interface, to demo the Ioc process and ninject.

namespace ExampleServices
{
    public interface IExampleInterface
    {
        void Method1();
        string Property1 { get; }
    }   

    public class ExampleConcreteClass : IExampleInterface
    {

        #region IExampleInterface Members   

        public void Method1()
        {
            // Do Nothing.
        }   

        public string Property1
        {
            get
            {
                return "Hello World";
            }
        }   

        #endregion
    }
}

10. Now we can setup a ninject Module which returns our ExampleConcreteClass when given the IExampleInterface

11. We do this by creating a class which inherits from ninjects standardmodule and overrides the Load Method

private class ExampleConfigModule : StandardModule

    {

        public override void Load()

        {

            Bind<IExampleInterface>().To<ExampleConcreteClass>();

        }

    }

12. Finally we'll override the GetControllerInstance Method from the DefaultControllerFactory using ninject to return a controller complete with any parameters in the controllers constructor.

public class NinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
    {
        private IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel(new ExampleConfigModule());   

        protected override IController GetControllerInstance(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
        {
            // We don't want to pass null to ninject as we'll get a strange error.
            return controllerType == null ? null
                                          :
(IController)kernel.Get(controllerType);
        }
    }

13. Now we'll need to tell the MVC 2 framework to use our new Controller Factory insted of the defaultControllerFactory.

14. To do this we'll need to edit the global.asax.cs file

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");   

            routes.MapRoute(
                "Default", // Route name
                "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
            );   

            // Setup Our new Controller Factory.
            ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(new NinjectControllerFactory());   

        }

15. That's it for the setup. Now we'll need to test it out.

16. Let's update the default Home Controller to include a parameter in it's constructor

public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        #region Testing Our Controller Factory   

        private IExampleInterface _example;   

        public HomeController(IExampleInterface exampleInterface)
        {
            // Test our our new Ninject Controller Factory
            _example = exampleInterface;
        }   

        #endregion   

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            // Will it work?? 
            ViewData["Message"] = _example.Property1;   

            return View();
        }

        public ActionResult About()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }

17. Now if this work's we should see the word's "Hello World" on the home page.



18. It’s worked.

Out of the box, ASP.NET MVC3 applications have basic error handling. To see, let’s create an action that will deliberately throw an error.
HomeController.cs:

public ActionResult NoView() // this Action has no view, for testing error handling! 
{ 
    return View(); 
}

Now when we hit /Home/NoView (in our development environment), we get the YSOD because MVC raises an InvalidOperationException, as expected.



In our production environment the error is automatically handled nicely and the /Shared/Error view is shown:



I’m not quite sure how MVC is handling the error in production under the covers, since I am NOT specifying the [HandleError] attribute anywhere. Hmm, wait a second, what’s this?
Global.asax.cs:

public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication 
{ 
    public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)      { 
        filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute()); 
    }

Cool, I just learnt something. The [HandleError] attribute is registered globally when we created a new project. That’s going to make the rest of this blog post easier…

Logging Exceptions

In our development environment, when these exceptions are thrown they appear in the eventlog. But in production, they don’t get put into the eventlog. We need to log them somewhere!
There’s a bucketload of ways to log in ASP.NET – log4net, ELMAH, etc. But I decided I wanted to use one that comes built into ASP.NET – health monitoring.

Heath monitoring

Following the helpful chaps at 4guysfromRolla, we can enable .NET health monitoring by editing our web.config:

 <configuration> 
     <system.web> 
       <healthMonitoring enabled="true"> 
        <eventMappings> 
           <clear /> 
           <add name="All Errors" type="System.Web.Management.WebBaseErrorEvent"
                    startEventCode="0" endEventCode="2147483647" /> 
        </eventMappings> 

        <providers> 
           <clear /> 
           <add name="EventLogProvider" type="System.Web.Management.EventLogWebEventProvider" />   
        </providers>     

        <rules> 
           <clear /> 
           <add name="All Errors Default" eventName="All Errors" provider="EventLogProvider"
                    profile="Default" minInstances="1" maxLimit="Infinite" minInterval="00:00:00" /> 
        </rules> 
       </healthMonitoring> 
     </system.web> 
 </configuration>

But that’s not enough. For some reason, the ASP.NET MVC [HandleError] attribute (registered globally in Global.ascx.cs, remember) doesn’t invoke the health monitoring features. But thanks to a helpful post by Andrew Wilinski, we can create our own HandleError attribute which will. Create a new class called HandleErrorHm.cs:

/// <seealso cref="http://weblogs.asp.net/awilinsk/archive/2008/12/11/handleerrorattribute-and-health-monitoring.aspx"/> 
public class HandleErrorHmAttribute : HandleErrorAttribute 
{ 
    public override void OnException(ExceptionContext context) 
    { 
        base.OnException(context); 
        new WebRequestErrorEventMvc("An unhandled exception has occurred.", this, 103005, context.Exception).Raise(); 
    } 
} 

public class WebRequestErrorEventMvc : WebRequestErrorEvent 
{ 
    public WebRequestErrorEventMvc(string message, object eventSource, int eventCode, Exception exception) : base(message, eventSource, eventCode, exception) {} 
    public WebRequestErrorEventMvc(string message, object eventSource, int eventCode, int eventDetailCode, Exception exception) : base(message, eventSource, eventCode, eventDetailCode, exception) {} 
}

And now change our Global.asax.cs to use our attribute instead:

public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication 
{ 
    public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters) 
    { 
        filters.Add(new HandleErrorHmAttribute()); 
    }

Our exceptions appear in the eventlog on our production web server.

Logging to a SQL database

Since I’m already using ASP.NET authentication I already have an aspnet_WebEvent_Events table. So if I follow the rest of the 4GuysfromRolla post, I can set it up to log to my existing application database:

 <connectionStrings> 
     <add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=Jobs;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> 
   </connectionStrings> 
 ... 
   <system.web> 
     <healthMonitoring enabled="true"> 
       <eventMappings> 
         <clear /> 
         <!-- Log ALL error events -->
         <add name="All Errors" type="System.Web.Management.WebBaseErrorEvent" startEventCode="0" endEventCode="2147483647" /> 
         <!-- Log application startup/shutdown events -->
         <add name="Application Events" type="System.Web.Management.WebApplicationLifetimeEvent" startEventCode="0" endEventCode="2147483647"/> 
       </eventMappings> 
       <providers> 
         <clear /> 
         <!-- Provide any customized SqlWebEventProvider information here (such as a different connection string name value -->
         <add connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" maxEventDetailsLength="1073741823" buffer="false" name="SqlWebEventProvider" type="System.Web.Management.SqlWebEventProvider" /> 
       </providers> 
       <rules> 
         <clear /> 
         <add name="All Errors Default" eventName="All Errors" provider="SqlWebEventProvider" profile="Default" minInstances="1" maxLimit="Infinite" minInterval="00:00:00" /> 
         <add name="Application Events Default" eventName="Application Events" provider="SqlWebEventProvider" profile="Default" minInstances="1" maxLimit="Infinite" minInterval="00:00:00" /> 
       </rules> 
     </healthMonitoring>

And now my errors are logged to my SQL database (although they’re not very readable).

What about 404 errors?

We don’t really want 404 errors to be handled in the same way – we should show the user a “page not found” error page instead of the generic “an error occured” page.
Web.Release.config:

<system.web> 
  <compilation xdt:Transform="RemoveAttributes(debug)" /> 
  <customErrors mode="On" xdt:Transform="Replace"> 
    <error statusCode="404" redirect="/Home/NotFound"/> 
  </customErrors> 
</system.web>

HomeController.cs:

public ActionResult NotFound() // web.config sends 404s here 
{ 
    return View(); 
}

Then in Views/Shared, add a new view called NotFound.cshtml:

@{ 
    ViewBag.Title = "404 Not Found"; 
} 

<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2> 

Sorry, but we couldn't find that page.

Note that in our dev environment it will still show the YSOD for 404s, but in production our users will get redirected correctly.



One final note: if you follow these steps, 404s are NOT logged by health monitoring.

Razor is an alternate view engine for asp.net MVC.  It was introduced in the “WebMatrix” tool and has now been released as part of the asp.net MVC 3 preview 1.  Basically, Razor allows us to replace the clunky <% %> syntax with a much cleaner coding model, which integrates very nicely with HTML.  Additionally, it provides some really nice features for master page type scenarios and you don’t lose access to any of the features you are currently familiar with, such as HTML helper methods.

First, download and install the ASP.NET MVC Preview 1.  You can find this at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cb42f741-8fb1-4f43-a5fa-812096f8d1e8&displaylang=en.

Now, follow these steps to create your first asp.net mvc project using Razor:

1. Open Visual Studio 2010
2. Create a new project.  Select File->New->Project (Shift Control N)
3. You will see the list of project types which should look similar to what’s shown:



4. Select “ASP.NET MVC 3 Web Application (Razor).”  Set the application name to RazorTest and the path to c:projectsRazorTest for this tutorial. If you select accidently select ASPX, you will end up with the standard asp.net view engine and template, which isn’t what you want.

5. For this tutorial, and ONLY for this tutorial, select “No, do not create a unit test project.”  In general, you should create and use a unit test project.  Code without unit tests is kind of like diet ice cream.  It just isn’t very good.



Now, once we have this done, our brand new project will be created.    In all likelihood, Visual Studio will leave you looking at the “HomeController.cs” class, as shown below:



Immediately, you should notice one difference.  The Index action used to look like:

public ActionResult Index ()
{
ViewData[“Message”] = “Welcome to ASP.Net MVC!”;
Return View();
}

While this will still compile and run just fine, ASP.Net MVC 3 has a much nicer way of doing this:

public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewModel.Message = “Welcome to ASP.Net MVC!”;
Return View();
}

Instead of using ViewData we are using the new ViewModel object, which uses the new dynamic data typing of .Net 4.0 to allow us to express ourselves much more cleanly. 

This isn’t a tutorial on ALL of MVC 3, but the ViewModel concept is one we will need as we dig into Razor.

What comes in the box?
When we create a project using the ASP.Net MVC 3 Template with Razor, we get a standard project setup, just like we did in ASP.NET MVC 2.0 but with some differences.  Instead of seeing “.aspx” view files and “.ascx” files, we see files with the “.cshtml” which is the default razor extension. 

Before we discuss the details of a razor file, one thing to keep in mind is that since this is an extremely early preview, intellisense is not currently enabled with the razor view engine.  This is promised as an updated before the final release. 

Just like with the aspx view engine, the convention of the folder name for a set of views matching the controller name without the word “Controller” still stands.  Similarly, each action in the controller will usually have a corresponding view file in the appropriate view directory.  Remember, in asp.net MVC, convention over configuration is key to successful development!

The initial template organizes views in the following folders, located in the project under Views:

- Account – The default account management views used by the Account controller.  Each file represents a distinct view.
- Home – Views corresponding to the appropriate actions within the home controller.
- Shared – This contains common view objects used by multiple views.  Within here, master pages are stored, as well as partial page views (user controls).  By convention, these partial views are named “_XXXPartial.cshtml” where XXX is the appropriate name, such as _LogonPartial.cshtml.  Additionally, display templates are stored under here.

With this in mind, let us take a look at the index.cshtml file under the home view directory. 

When you open up index.cshtml you should see

1:   @inherits System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage
2:  @{
3:          View.Title = "Home Page";
4:       LayoutPage = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
5:   }
6:  <h2>@View.Message</h2>
7:  <p>
8:     To learn more about ASP.NET MVC visit <a href="http://asp.net/mvc" title="ASP.NET MVC    
9:    Website">http://asp.net/mvc</a>.
10:  </p>

So looking through this, we observe the following facts:

Line 1 imports the base page that all views (using Razor) are based on, which is System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage.  Note that this is different than System.Web.MVC.ViewPage which is used by asp.net MVC 2.0

Also note that instead of the <% %> syntax, we use the very simple ‘@’ sign.  The View Engine contains enough context sensitive logic that it can even distinguish between @ in code and @ in an email.  It’s a very clean markup. 

Line 2 introduces the idea of a code block in razor.  A code block is a scoping mechanism just like it is in a normal C# class.  It is designated by @{… }  and any C# code can be placed in between.  Note that this is all server side code just like it is when using the aspx engine and <% %>. 

Line 3 allows us to set the page title in the client page’s file.  This is a new feature which I’ll talk more about when we get to master pages, but it is another of the nice things razor brings to asp.net mvc development.

Line 4 is where we specify our “master” page, but as you can see, you can place it almost anywhere you want, because you tell it where it is located.  A Layout Page is similar to a master page, but it gains a bit when it comes to flexibility.  Again, we’ll come back to this in a later installment. 

Line 6 and beyond is where we display the contents of our view.  No more using <%: %> intermixed with code.  Instead, we get to use very clean syntax such as @View.Message.  This is a lot easier to read than <%:@View.Message%> especially when intermixed with html.  For example:

<p>
My name is @View.Name and I live at @View.Address
</p>

Compare this to the equivalent using the aspx view engine

<p>
My name is <%:View.Name %> and I live at <%: View.Address %>
</p>

While not an earth shaking simplification, it is easier on the eyes.  As  we explore other features, this clean markup will become more and more valuable.

Sample of the control in Silverlight 4 App



Sample of the control in Windows Phone 7 Application



It just has one important property you have to set, the Application Id of Microsoft Translator. You can get one here (http://developer.live.com).



The control has two events.



To translate text from one language (de-de = Germany) into one other (en-us = English US) is extremly simple. Problems like synchronizing the background thread into the UI-Thread is hidden in the control.

The following code demonstrates the easiness of using.

private void MicrosoftTranslator_Translated(object sender, TheOliver.Controls.TranslatorEventArgs args)
{
    _out.Text =args.TranslatedText;
}

private void MicrosoftTranslator_TranslationError(object sender, TheOliver.Controls.TranslatorErrorEventArgs args)
{
    _out.Text= args.Error.Message;
}

private void Button_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    _mts.Translate(_in.Text, "de-de", "en-us");

Here is the complete code of the Microsoft Translator Service:

using System.Net;
using System.Text;

It is very much easier to apply CSS when we have ul,li elements as the HTML content. If we look into ASP.NET Menu Control till Version 3.5, its render as Table-TR-TD Tag. Though Table/Tr/Td is quite useful to display tabular data but sometime  creates  a big problem when we need to do more work with CSS. To overcome this problem we generally used CSS Friendly adapter to render the ASP.NET Control in ul/li mode.

ASP.NET 4.0 makes the things easier for web developer by providing “RenderingMode” properties. Here we can specify RenderMode of a ASP.NET Menu control. Which define the what will be the HTML Render Content Type. Bydefault mode is “List” which means control will be render as ul/li. 



As per the above diagram we can see that there are three mode available. We can use any one of them as per the requirement.

Let’s see one small  example by using the ASP.Net menu web  control and check how it renders as HTML in ASP.Net 4.0.  Assume that we are having the following piece of code

<asp:Menu runat="server" ID="customeMenu" RenderingMode="List" >
            <Items>
                <asp:MenuItem Text="File" Value="File"></asp:MenuItem>
                <asp:MenuItem Text="Edit" Value="Edit"></asp:MenuItem>
                <asp:MenuItem Text="View" Value="View"></asp:MenuItem>
                <asp:MenuItem Text="WebSite" Value="WebSite"></asp:MenuItem>
            </Items>
        </asp:Menu>

This Menu control will be render as below html code  in  ASP.NET 4.0 as, we have mentioned “List” as the rendering mode.

<ul>
        <li><a  href="#">File</a></li>
        <li><a  href="#">Edit</a></li>
        <li><a  href="#">View</a></li>
        <li><a  href="#">WebSite</a></li>
    </ul>

To test the above scenario run the web application that contain the menu control and after page rendered complete Right Click on  view source of the aspx page. The output will be look like as bellow.



We can also generate the Menu Control as HTML Table like earlier version by using RenderingMode=”Table”.

So, for the same block of code,

<asp:Menu runat="server" ID="customeMenu" RenderingMode="Table" >
           <Items>
               <asp:MenuItem Text="File" Value="File"></asp:MenuItem>
               <asp:MenuItem Text="Edit" Value="Edit"></asp:MenuItem>
               <asp:MenuItem Text="View" Value="View"></asp:MenuItem>
               <asp:MenuItem Text="WebSite" Value="WebSite"></asp:MenuItem>
           </Items>
       </asp:Menu>

HTML Rendered output will be as follows

<table > 
     <tr > 
        <td><table> 
             <tr> 
                 <td >File</a></td> 
             </tr> 
         </table></td> 
     </tr><tr> 
         <td><table > 
             <tr> 
                 <td>Edit</a></td> 
             </tr> 
         </table></td> 
     </tr><tr> 
         <td><table > 
             <tr> 
                 <td >View</a></td> 
             </tr> 
         </table></td> 
     </tr><tr > 
         <td><table > 
             <tr> 
                 <td>WebSite</a></td> 
             </tr> 
         </table></td> 
     </tr> 
 </table>



Note: With the above html content ASP.NET engine automatically adds few client side script along like onmouseover=”Menu_HoverStatic(this)” onmouseout=”Menu_Unhover(this)” onkeyup=”Menu_Key(this)” id=”customeMenun0″ with rendered menu items. Which helps the developer to handel the client side events.

If you are trying to debug ASP.NET applications on Vista you might run into the following problem:

localhost is not accessible through your browser and the error that is displayed is "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

The problem has to do with the fact that there are 2 entries for local host in the hosts file ([Windows directory]\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).

One for ipv4 and one for ipv6.

Example:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

To solve the problem you can remark one of them. The example below remarks the ipv6 entry.

127.0.0.1 localhost
# Causes problems when using localhost ->
#::1 localhost

Note that you might not be able to modify the hosts file even if you are running as an administrator.

The following Microsoft KB explains how to change the hosts file:

You can see this picture below that we have finished configure our Silverlight app using VS 2010 and .NET 4 framework.

Now, go to deploy the application.

Then open your inetmgr. The IIS Manager Window will show up. GO to MIME types.

In the appearing list, we’ll need to include the following types (XAML, XAP, XBAP) as shown in the image below

Now, in the left menu, let’s go to Sites, and let’s add our Web Site (as default site, virtual directory… based on our own needs). When done, let’s click in our application, like this:

If ASP.NET v4.0 is not selected, and you leave DefaultAppPool as I did in the beginning, you will get the following error message every time your application tries to connect with the database: “There is an error in the service with the Get function..”

So, now that we selected our Application Group, let us configure it. In the left panel (back in the IIS Manager Window), right above our Default Site, we’ll see “Application Groups”. Click it. A list will appear in the center panel. Let’s open the ASP.NET v4.0 and select the right framework version. Click ok and select it again, but instead of opening it, this time we’ll go to the right panel, and we’ll click on “Advance Configuration”:

Change the Local System and select Network Service, as shown in the image above. And that’s it! Now we are able to access our data from our Silverlight 4 application without getting any error from the Web Server.

Hope it helps!!

Here is a step-by-step walk-through of how to completely uninstall ASP.NET MVC 3 RC on Windows 7 (the steps and screens will differ on other versions of Windows, but the the idea, and actions you must take, are essentially the same):

1. Open the Control Panel (Click Start, then click Control Panel)
2. If you're in Category view, click 'Uninstall a program'; otherwise, click 'Program and Features'
3. Uninstall everything that includes the phrase 'ASP.NET MVC 3'

4. Uninstall everything that includes the phrase 'ASP.NET Web Pages'

 
5. Uninstall 'NuGet'

6. Switch to the 'View installed updates' section

7. Uninstall everything.

8. You have successfully uninstall your ASP.NET MVC 3.

How to Automating the Installation

If you don't want to take all those manual steps, open a Visual Studio command prompt* with Administrator privilege and run all of the following commands (I suggest you copy and paste them):

- wmic product where name="Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 3" call uninstall
- wmic product where name="Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 3 - Visual Studio 2010 Tools" call uninstall
- wmic product where name="Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 3 - VWD Express 2010 Tools" call uninstall
- wmic product where name="Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages" call uninstall
- wmic product where name="Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages - Visual Studio 2010 Tools" call uninstall
- wmic product where name="Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages - VWD Express 2010 Tools" call uninstall
- wmic product where name="NuGet" call uninstall
- msiexec /package {BC0464FA-A0BA-3E38-85BF-DC5B3A401F48} /uninstall {3069D446-63C5-38F4-9D28-41858024419C}
- msiexec /package {85076DFF-7A17-3566-9CC0-488E6E6D4494} /uninstall {3069D446-63C5-38F4-9D28-41858024419C}

One of the new features of ASP.NET MVC 3 is a controller-level attribute to control the availability of session state. In the RC the attribute, which lives in the System.Web.SessionState namespace, is [ControllerSessionState];.

The Setup

I started with an empty MVC 3 project and the Razor view engine. We'll let a view model figure out what's going on with our controller's Session:

public class SessionModel
{
    public SessionModel(Controller controller, bool delaySession = false)
    {
        SessionID = delaySession ? "delayed" : GetSessionId(controller.Session);
        Controller = controller.GetType().Name;
    }

    public string SessionID { get; private set; }
    public string Controller { get; private set; }

    private static string GetSessionId(HttpSessionStateBase session)
    {
        try
        {
            return session == null ? "null" : session.SessionID;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            return "Error: " + ex.Message;
        }
    }
}

The model is rendered by two shared views. Index.cshtml gives us some simple navigation and renders actions from our various test controllers:

@model SessionStateTest.Models.SessionModel
@{
    View.Title = Model.Controller;
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h2>Host: @Model.Controller (@Model.SessionID)</h2>
<ul>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("No Attribute", "Index", "Home")</li>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("Exception", "Index", "Exception")</li>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("Default", "Index", "DefaultSession")</li>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("Disabled", "Index", "DisabledSession")</li>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("ReadOnly", "Index", "ReadOnlySession")</li>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("Required", "Index", "RequiredSession")</li>
</ul>
@{
    Html.RenderAction("Partial", "Home");
    Html.RenderAction("Partial", "Exception");
    Html.RenderAction("Partial", "DefaultSession");
    Html.RenderAction("Partial", "DisabledSession");
    Html.RenderAction("Partial", "ReadOnlySession");
    Html.RenderAction("Partial", "RequiredSession");
}

Partial.cshtml just dumps the model:

@model SessionStateTest.Models.SessionModel
<div>Partial: @Model.Controller (@Model.SessionID)</div>

Finally, we need a few test controllers which will all inherit from a simple HomeController:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public virtual ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(new SessionModel(this));
    }

    public ActionResult Partial()
    {
        return View(new SessionModel(this));
    }
}

[ControllerSessionState(SessionStateBehavior.Default)]
public class DefaultSessionController : HomeController { }

[ControllerSessionState(SessionStateBehavior.Disabled)]
public class DisabledSessionController : HomeController { }

[ControllerSessionState(SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly)]
public class ReadOnlySessionController : HomeController { }

[ControllerSessionState(SessionStateBehavior.Required)]
public class RequiredSessionController : HomeController { }

And finally, a controller that uses the SessionModel constructor's optional delaySession parameter. This parameter allows us to test RenderAction's Session behavior if the host controller doesn't use Session:

public class ExceptionController : HomeController
{
    public override ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(new SessionModel(this, true));
    }
}

The Reveal

So what do we find? Well the short answer is that the host controller's SessionStateBehavior takes precedence. In the case of Home, Default, ReadOnly, and Required, we have access to Session information in all rendered actions:



If the host controller is marked with SessionStateBehavior.Disabled, all the rendered actions see Session as null:

I see this is the key finding to remember: an action that depends on Session, even if its controller is marked with SessionStateBehavior.Required, will be in for a nasty NullRef surprise if it's rendered by controller without. It would be nice if the framework either gave some sort of warning about this, or if they used a Null Object pattern instead of just letting Session return null.

Finally, things get really weird if a Session-dependent action is rendered from a host controller that doesn't reference Session, even if SessionState is enabled:
It's pretty clear the issue has something to do with where RenderAction() happens in the request lifecycle, but it's unclear how to resolve it short of accessing Session in the host controller.

So there we have it...a comprehensive testing of sessionless controllers and RenderAction for the ASP.NET MVC 3 Release Candidate. Hopefully the inconsistencies of the latter two cases will be resolved or at least documented before RTM.
